Welcome to the enchanting Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground, a pristine natural paradise nestled nearby the Monongahela National Forest and graced by the stunning Dry Fork River. Since our grand opening in July 2022, we've been welcoming guests year-round to explore and enjoy our 35 acres of unspoiled wilderness forest, complete with winding trails and a captivating 2100 feet of riverfront. Our diverse accommodations cater to all outdoor enthusiasts. Choose from 15 camping sites, each equipped with fire pits and slabwood benches amidst ample parking. For those seeking a rustic retreat, our 5 primitive shelter cabin sites feature cozy 10x12 lofted barn cabins, securely lockable with your padlock. RV adventurers are welcome too, with 10 picturesque near riverside spots (best suited for towed RVs up to 32 feet or drivable up to 35 feet). Four of these provide full electric and water hook-ups, while the other six offer a serene boon-docking experience. We have also recently added 2 deluxe furnished cabins, 3 large group riverfront campsites, and a bohemian bus shelter site that sleeps 8. Immerse yourself in the beauty of nearly 4 miles of wilderness riverfront, situated on a breathtaking road leading to the charming town of Parsons, WV - the heart of Tucker County and gateway to Thomas, Davis, and Canaan Valley. Your adventure starts here: kayak down the merging Dry Fork and Black Fork Rivers, stroll over to the nearby Hendricks via a charming cable suspension bridge, or explore the Fernow Experimental Forest, just a mile downstream. The surrounding Monongahela National Forest awaits with its vast, unlogged forests. Thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike will find no shortage of activities. From waterfall explorations, creek adventures, and fishing to kayaking, tubing, and hiking, there's something for everyone. Don't forget to bring your bikes, kayaks, tubes, roller blades, snorkels, goggles, and river shoes for an unforgettable outdoor experience! Our camp provides spring water spigots for general use, an office cabin with electric charging access, and clean porta-potties. Wi-Fi is available near the office cabin (password: campground19). The lovely town of Parsons, with all its conveniences, is just a 4-mile drive away. For a seamless experience, we offer online booking and self-check-in, with check-in starting at noon and designated parking spots for each campsite. Join us at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground for a stay that promises tranquility, adventure, and a connection with nature like no other.

Vince was so welcoming and has so much to offer on his riverfront site. The river is a beautiful place to stay and you will be well taken care of! We and our puppy Bo really enjoyed the beach!

Tipi Retreat - Wood Stove

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 winter nights in the Tipi. Plenty of space for 4 people and very warm. Campgrounds are beautiful and plenty to do in the area. Vincent has plenty of suggestions and is very organized. 10/10

RV4 - Electric RV-site

Cute little campground, well maintained. Only complaints were the campsite road is a little rough for walking, with large rocks. It would be nice to have 2 port a johns together, so a couple could go at once. My husband has a recent brain injury, so I waited on him to go, got him settled in the van and went back to use the restroom myself. If there were two, I would not have needed to do that. The owner says he hopes to install showers next year, so hopefully that also means more permanent bathroom facilities. I also felt a little uncomfortable with all the smile you're on camera signs. Cameras around the self serve firewood seems reasonable, but there were also signs at the camp site, so I felt like our every move could be being watched. I'm sure it's a fun place when the weather is warm, (we were there as a stop over on a trip on a cool, rainy, November night, just needing a site to plug in), and the owner is very friendly, and excited to talk up the local restaurants but they weren't on our limited time frame itinerary, so we weren't able to to explore. The road in is narrow, but paved, and has nice river views and rock features.

RV2 - Electric RV-site

Vince cares about his campground and those whocshare the space. Be amenities are coming in 2025, including a dump station. The drive in was beautiful but would have been an issue with someone driving out. Road was narrow but had pulloffs. We would go again.
