We stayed at Whisper Mountain in the off season for two months, and it was wonderful.
It’s located a bit outside of Weston, WV down a long and winding road- nestled in the valley in the mountains. If you like the smell of honeysuckle- it’s heavenly in the spring. There were a couple other long term campers while we were there and a few weekenders through the months, and so was very quiet and peaceful.
There’s a little creek that runs along the side of the property and a pond where we got to see five geese hatch and learn how to swim.
We took full advantage of the hiking trails up in the mountains behind the main campground- the paths are wide and clear. Walking up and down the mountain was excellent exercise.
Plenty of room for my son to run around and play. They playground was a bit old and could use some improvement, and as others have mentioned, there was no laundry services - but both of those are things I’d consider a luxury while camping (the laundromat isn’t that far away in Weston).
There are rustic sites, partial hookup sites, full hookup sites and they have a couple cabins that you can rent by the pond. There is a fire pit and a picnic table at each site. We left before it was warm enough to take advantage of the pool though.
Overall, it was my favorite campground that we’ve been to since we bought our RV. Judy was very sweet and worked with us with our ever-changing schedule for how long our stay was going to be.
Great place to stay . Second year starting now. Do not follow Google if you are towing a trailer always take goosepin . If you are coming to this camp ground download hammer or road hunter gps. Both will bring you in safely
This review is geared more towards the cabins and other areas. The campground overall is nice if you have an RV or tent to stay in.The cabins however are not. They only take cash, they didn't inform us of this before our arrival. Luckily we had some cash to cover most of our stay, we ended up having to go to an atm to get the remainder. There was mouse droppings all over the mattresses when we arrived, cob webs everywhere, you could tell that they don't clean the cabins before your arrival. The ceilings are wet when it rains so the roof obviously needs replacing. Their park has rundown swing sets, they aren't very secure. My child went to swing and I immediately had him get off because the whole swing set was swaying from side to side like it was about to collapse. They had another swing set but the seats were busted up and looked like they were about to come off of the chains. The showers are not the greatest. We ended up showering somewhere else. The shower heads look like they are covered in mold. This campground definitely has potential but they would have to take the time to invest some tlc.
We stayed here for 1 night on our way north. The campground is NOT convenient to the highway or most any other road for that matter. Its WAY off the beaten path. Definitely follow the directions that they send to you and NOT your own GPS. You will find yourself on some pretty tight "2 lane roads" where if there are 2 cars one of them will have to pull off to let the other pass. Even with the directions the road is pretty small, hilly and curvy. With a big rig kinda sketchy but smaller trailers fine. Once there Judy was very nice and accommodating. The campground is quaint and pretty secluded. We stayed in a pull thru up front which was easy to get in and out but right next to a "garage" area so not very private. The bathhouse was a bit run down and laundry facility was locked up. Not a horrible experience but not very convenient to anything.
