Tucked into the wooded rolling hills of Cedar Creek State Park, this family-friendly campground offers the perfect blend of forest seclusion and waterside relaxation. Choose from shaded woodland retreats or sunny spots near the ponds and creek, all with water and electric hookups, then spend your days swimming in the pool, putting on the mini-golf course, or exploring miles of scenic trails.
A developed state park campground with a mix of wooded, secluded tent sites and more open, RV-friendly clearings. Sites are described as having water and electric hookups and standard campsite amenities (picnic table, fire ring with grill).
Historical Significance
The park includes on-site historic structures—a one-room schoolhouse and a log cabin—interpreting rural Appalachian life and early local settlement. These preserved features are highlighted by park materials as part of the area's cultural history.Weather and SeasonsSpring brings wildflowers and warming days perfect for hiking, while fall transforms the forest into a tapestry of reds, oranges, and golds—both seasons offer comfortable temperatures and the park at its most beautiful. Summer heats up, making early morning paddles and evening campfires the sweet spots of the day, with the camp pool offering midday relief. The campground welcomes visitors from spring through fall, then closes for a quiet winter rest.
Natural Features and ScenerySpread across 2,588 acres of hardwood forest and gentle hollows, Cedar Creek State Park wraps around you like a green embrace. Cedar Creek meanders through the property, joined by three peaceful ponds that mirror the sky and surrounding trees. Whether you're casting a line from the shore at dawn, watching for white-tailed deer at dusk, or simply soaking in the classic Appalachian woodland scenery, the park's natural beauty provides a peaceful backdrop to your camping adventure. Waterside campsites put you right where the action is, while forest sites offer dappled shade and the soundtrack of rustling leaves.
Geological RegionAppalachian foothills (rolling hills, wooded ridges and valleys of central West Virginia)
