East Fork (WV)

Pros: We love camping here. It's close to home & allows us to work while still enjoying camping in the evenings and weekends. The staff & volunteers are great.

Cons: (1) The roads are HORRIBLE!!! We spend so much money on tow vehicles campers to have to drive on a road in the condition like it is. We've been told for 3 years now that it's getting fixed only to get excuse after excuse. (2) Another issue is how the grass isn't kept up with. When they did cut it, it was just a huge mess, full of piles of grass. (3) Our hot didn't clean out the firepit or clean our spot off prior to us arriving. Firepit had trash in it & the parking pad was covered in geese crap.

Hopefully the roads are fixed & requirements of the hosts are followed up on.

Only recommendations I have is to fix the road. It’s terrible. And get better WiFi. Other than that, it’s a perfect place to camp.

This is a very remote campground with over 9 mi of potholes & one mudslide area to navigate just to get to the campsites. When we left, it took us over 30 minutes to go 2 mi just because you can’t avoid the deep potholes. There is no phone or internet service although I guess you can buy some sort of booster card at the store. The river is a nasty, muddy mess. Actual campsites are very nice, but this is the only redeeming factor. The campground is 20 mi from the nearest town. We went there hoping to explore some of West Virginia using this as our base. No way. There were flash flood warnings while we were there &, without phone or internet, we were very uncomfortable. We ended up leaving 3 days early. I would not recommend this facility. This is the first COE campground that was not extremely nice. I must say the people at the gate were very nice & refunded the money for unused nights without us even asking.

The attendants were great and the camp store staff and hosts/volunteers were very helpful. However, the road to the campground was full of potholes and it is likely we won’t return unless repairs are made.

Campground was great. Staff were nice and flexible. Only downside to it is the road going to the campground.

The roads are horrible going into the campground and in the actual campground. They definitely need to work on that or we may not be returning.
