Camp Creek State Park and Forest a place to rest, stretch, and explore

Conveniently located two miles off I-77 between Princeton and Beckley, West Virginia, Camp Creek State Park and Forest is an ideal escape just off the interstate. If you are traveling through West Virginia, you do not want to miss this hidden gem. With nearly 6,000 acres of lush forest, 35 miles of trails, seven miles of streams and gorgeous waterfalls this place is the perfect place to stop, stretch your legs, enjoy nature, and even camp out for the night.

Stretch Those Legs

Being cooped up in the car for long periods of time is not fun for anyone. Camp Creek State Park and the adjoining State Forest is a perfect place to stop the car and get out and walk a while. The park and forest are home to 15 beautiful trails that wind through gorgeous forest and follow burbling streams. The dense woodland was once used for moonshiners, but now is the perfect place to enjoy all that makes West Virginia Almost Heaven. Campbell Falls and Marsh Fork fall are easily accessible from the trails and campground. These gorgeous falls are breathtaking no matter the season and serve as a retreat for the road-worn traveler. There are also 30 to 35 miles of trails in the adjacent State Forest available for horseback riding if you have your trusty steed with you!

“We continued our eastward Journey by stopping at this lovely park in West Virginia. Very friendly staff, very clean restrooms. A nice walking trail to a waterfall, and very interesting woods. Friendly campers, too.”

Refuel

Not only is Camp Creek the perfect place to stretch your legs and walk around, but it is also great for a picnic! Don’t mess with eating in your car, creating a mess and distracting you from the road. Pull into Camp Creek and enjoy a no-fuss lunch with a beautiful view.

“Remarkable place to stop and picnic, we set up at one of the many grill sites where the sounds of the creeks calmed our three month old. Fantastic scenic park with adventures for everyone.”

“I stayed here one night on a road trip. This campground is super quiet, which is amazing, considering its 10 minutes from I-77. Lots of wildlife, good facilities.”

“My wife and I had recently purchased a Casita TravelTrailer and took a cross country trip from New Mexico to Virginia stopping in many states in between. We stayed in many RV parks and forest campgrounds. This state park was by far the best non-commercial park we stayed in. Clean, level sites and the personnel went above and beyond. Should we be in the area again, this will be our park of choice.”
