What a lovely campground! This was our first time staying in West Virginia and we had a great stay. The campsites are very spacious. We stayed at site 43 and had full hookups. We had a nice picnic table and a great fire pit that had a grill grate. The campground was nice and quiet as well. No cell service once you get about 10ish miles outside the campground. Closest grocery store that had more than just dry good staples seemed to be Walmart (which was about a 20-30 minute drive) and the closest place that had firewood available was Ace Hardware, which was also about 20-30 minute drive away. Our GPS had trouble getting us there, but just follow the signs and the directions on the website. That's much easier than what we had to do, which was turn around at Bee Run because our GPS was all out of sorts.

Nice sites, not to close to your neighbor. Close to the water.
Grass need mowed and no cell service.

Beautiful setting. We were at Black Bear 32 and it was relatively flat and spacious area. We arrived on a Wednesday in Sept and it was very quiet. As one would expect, Friday and Saturday it filled up but was still quiet at night. Would recommend. Clean and maintained.

My favorite campground by far. It’s peaceful and everyone I have seen there is super nice. I want to be the host there sooooo bad. Hopefully I can one day if I can afford to not work full. Time everyday.

Was able to get a camp site late Friday evening on Labor Day weekend. Camp site was large pull through with large concrete slab on the lake. The site only had electric but by using the nice and clean bathhouse our 4 day stay was great.
