This primitive campground is a favorite among fisherman for being adjacent to Long Run and the East Fork of the Greenbrier River. For hikers, this campground is located close to the East Fork Trail #365. This is an 8 mile trail with some difficult terrain to traverse. Also close by is the shorter Smoke Camp Trail #324. It is 1.8 miles in length for those looking for more of a day hike. Island Campground is located approximately 5 miles north and east of Bartow, West Virginia.
From Bartow, WV, take US Route 250S for approximately 3 miles. Take a left on Route 28. Campground is on the left after approximately 3 more miles.
pay station $10 was open in march nobody else here right off the road
This campground also serves as a trailhead for the East Fork of the Greenbrier. Good hiking and fishing.
Good primitive camping but sites not so great for tents, lots of gravel, not much grass. Just there one night so didn't explore trails. Found enough fallen and cut sticks in the woods for fire but it has been dry this week or you will need to bring your own firewood. Site No 1 very close to main road so lots of road noise. Would prob stop again if needed. $10/site good price.
Absolutely beautiful. My kids and I loved the camp sight we got, right by the creek. The 1st night, we were the only people in the campground.
