Spring will eventually get here, and when it does, it will be time to either try out a naturist lifestyle for the first time, or to come back and remember how nice it was amidst 6 wooded acres alongside Bear Creek, with Bear Stream running through the middle of it. Quiet and private, with paths and trails on the property. Dry firewood is provided there at the campsite. A small RV onsite provides a bathroom and shelter, but camping by the creek, listening to the water running is the way to do it. The site is also very private and naturist friendly, and a perfect place for your dogs or your children to run free, so it's time to get back to nature. Since guests have the whole site, they can decide whether it's clothing optional or not. With the new boat launch site near Capon Bridge, on the Cacapon river nearby, and a few more upriver towards Wardensville, it's a great site for kayakers or canudists to plan river outings and stay nearby. There are multiple places to set up tents, or hammocks, either at the main campfire ring, or at several sites away from the main campsite. Throughout spring, rear wheel drive is recommended, and 4 wheel drive might be needed, and during the summer if heavy rain is expected. I would not recommend front wheel drive cars being used there in the spring, unless it is dry out. The RV is limited to two adults, and two to three children, due to it's size. Heading west, is the Canaan Valley and Davis and Thomas, WV. Both towns have many things worth visiting and are close together, and Winchester is 30 minutes away for supplies.Enjoy privacy and get back to nature at naturist friendly Bear Creek, where peace and quiet and the sounds of the stream are what camping is all about. Bear Creek is close to the Cacapon River, and corridor H is 15 minutes away, for access to the Canaan Valley and Davis and Thomas, WV. With several tent placing sites, and trees just right for hammocks, and a clean bathroom in the RV right at the site. The RV can double as emergency shelter should rain ever try to ruin your time here.

Jim's camp spot is a 10 out of 10! I'd deduct one point for coyotes all night, but nothing he can do about that! Plenty of firewood was available. Chairs and table were provided. Very dog friendly. A small creek is nearby for dish water. The RV was cool and definitely a luxury! The women appreciated a civilized restroom. Jim is super friendly and respectful. It's obvious he's worked hard to get the spot ready for campers.

Idyllic setting in the woods

21 ft campervan

So wonderful!! The space is amazingly beautiful and private- very peaceful. The host, Jim, provides great firewood, fire ring, table, chairs, dog-friendly, idyllic woodsy setting. We can’t wait to come back- the path to get there can be tricky but we’ll worth it- Jim helped us when our 21’ front-wheel-drive rig had trouble and we were good to go. Can’t say enough about how much we loved this spot. We also appreciated booking at the very last minute. Host was incredibly accommodating- we’d give 10+ stars if we could!

Great site, friendly host. The RV came in super handy as it rained a ton and gave us a warm and dry place to play games. The firewood was also super helpful.

Enjoyed This Campsite

Tent · With pets

This site has it all. Privacy, no other camp sites nearby. My dog could go off leash. Camper on site with private toilet. Four comfortable chairs and two side tables provided. Picnic table provided. Nice creek that sounds wonderful and my dog loved. Host is a great communicator. In late May, still no mosquitos.

Lovely valley for just your group

Tent · With pets

Lovely spot. Grateful to Jim for renting it to just one group at a time. Our dog had the time of his life and we had wonderful, quiet respite. His RV provides water and a toilet, that worked well for us. The firewood pile was amazing. Jim is an attentive, responsive and friendly host. I highly recommend his campsite!
