Direct Links To West Virginia Reviews Below

Dates: April 14, 2010 - April 17, 2010
Location: About 2 miles off I-77 Exit 20 in southern West Virginia.
Our Site: 8 - Mash Fork Campground
GPS Coordinates: 37.50142N, 81.13818W
Reason Selected: Looked like a nice state park choice as we made our way through West Virginia on our way to Kentucky.
Setting: The campground sits down in a valley between the West Virginia mountains. Several sites back up to a babbling brook (Mash Fork).
Guidebooks: None used.
Big Rig Friendly: A little dicey getting from the interstate to the campground. The country road is narrow with some potholes and low hanging branches. It just requires going slow and being cautious. Once in the campground, their is more room to maneuver.
Hook-ups: 30 amp electric and water at the seven sites on the inner loop. 30 amp electric only at the other 19 sites. There are a couple of spigots on the campground road to take on water. Dump station is located outside the campground on the way out of the park.
Laundry: Washer and dryer at the bathhouse.
Price & Discounts: $23 for electric only. $26 for water and electric
Other Factors: Mash Fork and Camp Creek within the park are stocked with Rainbow, Golden, and Brown trout. There are two waterfalls within the park. The park is adjacent to Camp Creek State Forest which has lots of hiking trails. The bathhouse is old. About a third of the sites are satellite-friendly. Volunteers were very nice. Website is okay. There is a Super Walmart about 11 miles away at Exit 9 on I-77.
OVERALL RATING: 7.5 (out of ten)
We really liked Camp Creek. The campsites didn't quite have the "it" factor, but they were close. We're glad we stopped and we would definitely stay there again. If the bathhouse had been nicer or the road getting into the park would have been better, we might have given it an 8.
