Babcock State Park located near the New River Gorge National River. Absolutely pristine area. The campground itself is on a forested hilltop. Surprisingly most of the 52 sites are level and with long gravel pads. There is one small loop of electric sites across the street for very large RV’s, but those are mostly sunny. The main campground has a shower-house ( older but efficient) and a dump station behind it. There are 3-4 places in the campground to fill your fresh water tank. The sites on the outer side of the loops, overlook the forest. 90% of the sites are part to full shade. The area around the campground offer loads of well marked hiking trails. The grounds in and the campground are very well kept. Nearby is a nice lake to kayak. The signature attraction in the park is the Glade Creek Grist Mill. Over a lifetime of camping I can add this to my “top 5” Campgrounds. Midweek in mid to late August there are 5 RV’s here. I’ll assume the weekend it will fill especially the 30 electric sites.
