Small, wooded 5 unit campground adjacent to the Cranberry River. Located on Forest Road 76, approximately 7 miles north of Richwood, WV.
From Richwood travel one mile east on State Route 39/55, then 6 miles north on Forest Road 76.
This is one of the most beautiful spots on Cranberry. Great place for tent or RV camping. I have spent many memorable nights sitting around a campfire with friends and family over the years. One of my favorite places. I don't know where Explorer Mike gets that it's not suitable for RVs. Also, I don't know where the 13 sites on different levels comes from either. It's one level and only a handful of sites. Can't emphasize enough how much I love this place.
This is a county parks owned and maintained nice rustic campground. It is good for tent camping, but not recommended for fifth wheels or RV because it would be a nightmare trying to get the big vehicles in the small spaces. No electricity or water hook ups. Pit toilets. Hand pump for water.
The camp ground is built on the side of a hill and has two levels. Both have very attractive campsites that are spacious. Each campsite has a picnic table. At the bottom of the hill is a trout river that runs with crystal clear water.
This campsite is a real treasure. There are only 13 campsites available and it is only first come, first serve. Honor system payment. Richly wooded and shaded. Natural and nice setting.
Beautiful!! Have directions downloaded ahead of time bc its the WILDERNESS. Camp sites right on the cranberry river. Be prepared for as many scenarios as possible since help may not be near and alert to weather bc rain can cause sudden rise of the river. Do your home work and have a plan. Hat said its we'll worth the effort.
