Great and inexpensive place to camp - convenient to Cheat River Outfitters white water rafting company (great rafting company by the way). I just finished doing a white water rafting trip with Cheat River Outfitters up the road about 1/2 mile and wanted a place to stay over for the night. Turned out to be a great place. I tent camped for $5 !! How can you beat that? Also nice are the hot showers (pay showers for 1$ but nice and hot) for cleaning up after a rafting trip. There is a nice wide field to camp and also some camp spots down in the tree line near the river for a quite and private spot. the sites have a fire ring and newer picnic tables. the day i was there, there was only me. during the week i imagine it will always be quite. It would be a nice place if you want privacy and not many loud people/campers/RVs. There are showers in the main building and flush toilets. I would have given it 5 stars if the bathrooms were a little more cleaned up - like a few spider webs. ..lthough at 5$ you aren't getting a Holiday Inn spa. Also you do get some road noise from rt26 from crazy truck/rude truck drivers using their engine breaks. but if you are near the river the rushing water blocks out the noise pretty well. It is about 4 minutes down the road from Cheat River Outfitters. Go South on rt26 to Kingwood about a 10 minute drive to find a supermarket, Chinese Buffet, Catholic Church (St Sebastian 10:30 AM Sunday Mass), and a few stores. i would highly recommend this place if you want a very cheap, flush toilet, hot shower, low key, nice camp site, few people palce to camp. Also - a real nice treat up the road about 1-2 miles north on rt26..check out the old blast furnace site ( small road side sign marking the spot) then walk up stream ~20 yds feet - the best coolest water fall cascades that will surprise you.
