Stories from the community

3 nights at Possum Holler Camp- New River Gorge

We absolutely loved this spot! I can't say enough good things about it. It's beautiful, the water is just steps away. It was a bit to cold for this trip but I definitely plan on making another trip this summer! The host Matthew was so kind and helped me with any questions I had super fast which I can appreciate. The porta potty was clean. We had a blast exploring the river. We had no problems getting to the site. The directions were really easy to follow. It felt safe and we barely saw any cars and if you do it's hard to really pay any mind to it. It's a great site I recommend it!

1 night at Possum Holler Camp- New River Gorge

Possum Holler was a lovely campsite. It was very thoughtful of the host, Matthew, to provide a picnic table with a tarp overtop. The tarp proved super helpful during our rainy stay! The port o potty, fire ring and firewood for purchase were also nice amenities! Possum Holler was quiet and peaceful and feels so much more secluded than it is! It is conveniently close to New River Bridge/Gorge attractions , but in nestled in a lovely woodland site along the babbling creek and magical rhododendron undergrowth. I bet it is spectacular when the Rhododendron flowers bloom! The creek was a relaxing sound and was crystal clear with emerald pools. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

Weekend Trip to Mountain Magnolia Forest Farm

Such a beautiful spot! I enjoyed every minute I spent under the tall trees next to the creek. Extra bonus was the outhouse with a homemade composting toilet. I had a nice campfire one evening and spent most evenings enjoying the cold while snuggled inside a sleeping bag. It felt so remote, but there was a sweet neighbor who tooted his horn in greeting as he drove by, and the little town of Fayetteville was only a few minutes away. Super quick to get to the Endless Wall for hiking or climbing. I would definitely want to return to this HipCamp!

1 night at Mountain Magnolia Forest Farm

Great place to camp!! Firepit and lots of sticks around to start a fire. We did hot dogs and smores by the fire it was awesome. There is an outhouse that’s tidy and just a small walk up the hill. (no tp so be sure to bring some). There is another house nearby but otherwise it’s pretty private. Easy directions and comfy area. Not far from endless wall trail which me and my boyfriend ended up hiking. Great camping trip would stay here again!!!!

1 night at Mountain Magnolia Forest Farm

Beautiful spot. Very private and quiet! Plenty of places to set up a tent along the little creek. The toads/bugs/whatever were so loud and I loved it! Even heard some owls. 10/10. Oh and everything is crazy close to drive to, so that’s a plus. I’ll definitely camp here again!

1 night at Mountain Magnolia Forest Farm

Great for passing by and staying a night on our way south!

Weekend Trip to Sycamore Creek Camp

Super welcoming host! Perfect spot if you are looking for a 1 night stay when traveling through 77! The camp is located about 10 minutes off the Riply exit. My dog Ozone had a blast with all the smells and the little bit of snow the fell. I travel 77 a few times a year and will definitely be stopping again🙂

Possum Holler Camp- New River Gorge

1 site · RV, Tent3 acres · Victor, WV

Camping at Possum Holler Camp will provide you the perfect blend of solitude and recreation access. You will truly be in the heart of the New River National Park, yet still feel secluded in the beautiful woods without neighbors. You will have private access to beautiful and idyllic Mill Creek, which has many beautiful emerald pools and is even seasonally stocked with rainbow trout! Within a mile you can access the New River Gorge Bridge and the Canyon Rim Visitor Center, and you are equally close to the park's world class climbing, rafting, hiking, ziplining, and mountain biking at the New River Gorge National Park and surrounding areas. Your group will have the entire camp to yourselves, so there's no need to worry about noisy neighbors. Our driveway has recently been revamped to include more flat parking and a less steep access route! While these improvements are great, we still caution our guests to avoid bringing large trailers and to use 4WD if available in an attempt to minimize rutting in the future. Seasoned hardwood firewood is available on site for $6/bundle. You are allowed to bring your own firewood, but only if you source your firewood locally because invasive pest species can travel in firewood. Possum Holler Camp is a Leave No Trace campsite, guests are asked to pack out anything they bring in and leave the area undisturbed. This includes damaging vegetation, creating new fire rings, or altering the natural area in any way. Also, please do not camp in the meadow area and only use the cleared out areas in the woods surrounding the parking and picnic/fire area for pitching tents. If you stay below the high water line, then feel free to move as far up or downstream Mill Creek as you like. The creek is indescribably beautiful in both directions! But please keep in mind that there is private property once you are above the high water line, please do not trespass on our neighbor's property.

Beaver Lakes Campground LLC.

50 sites · RVs, Tents250 acres · Calvin, WV

Property was owned by my great grandfather , He lost 150 acres in the early 1900's due to a bad debt from neighboring landowner. Was so happy to be able to repurchase the 150 acres back in 2016,now own the original land tract and added more. 250 acres in total. Portions were strip mined around 1978-1982 creating some flat fields and access to all property. I might add that strip mining if done properly can and does enhance the property. Ponds were built to catch runoff and several new animal species moved in waterfowl ,muskrats, and beavers. The beavers have constructed large dams on property further adding to the beauty. Have seen several bald eagles on and around the property.
