*We are a firework-free zone, due to our proximity to the National Forest. Thank you! Welcome to The Trout Camp, aka Fontinalis Farms, a small, family-owned campground nestled beside the Monongahela National Forest on the banks of Big Run and The North Fork River. Our spacious site offers 30 acres to explore, with 15 tent sites and annual RV sites available for reservation. Kids under 16 are free! (just don't count them in your booking) Our campground features a convenient shower house with well water and flush toilets, but we do ask that you bring your own drinking water. Take a dip in the river, cast a line and fish, or simply relax in the serene surroundings. You can find a video tour at this location: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ5DSMTfP0A , or search The Trout Camp on Youtube. As you arrive, we kindly ask that you respect the privacy and posted speed limit of our neighbors. Please practice Catch and Release while visiting.

The campsite offers a mix of serene and accessible locations that have both won hearts and raised some concerns. Many campers have relished the tranquil setting by the river and the well-maintained facilities, highlighting the clean bathrooms and the beauty of the surrounding nature. However, some visitors have noted the proximity to a busy road, which can detract from the peace with noticeable traffic noise. Despite a few challenges, the site is appreciated for its spaciousness, the friendliness of the hosts, and its closeness to hiking attractions.

Great location, beautiful camping area. Trip was a big hit although 5 sad fishermen returned home a without a nibble - maybe next time!

Muddy, but the Stream was Nice!

For the price, I wouldn’t recommend. The services were pretty minimal and there was no one there to answer questions or provide information. The site was also extremely muddy and not well maintained. I’ve been camping hundreds of times and when we choose a dedicated camp site we usually do so for a little more elevated experience. This is probably the worst campsite we’ve been to — sadly. You could also hear the road right next to the site and every time a car passes by you hear it. Takes away from the experience.

We had a great time at the Trout Camp! Very beautiful setting, peaceful and quiet just a great place to sit and relax listening and watching the wildlife! Trout fishing is available all around the area, at summer water levels now but fall is not far off. The host, Paul was great and we enjoyed meeting and talking with him! We’ll be back in the spring, thanks

Great site. Sulfur shower
Tent · Group trip ·
The site was great. The shower house was nice. The smell however of the water is a story all its own. Sulfur I’m assuming, was next level bad. When it hit me I was immediately concerned that I should jump out of the shower and get out of the water. We were the only people at the site and again it was nice and relaxing to sit by the stream.
