Tips & Recommendations

1Reserve group sites or adjacent individual sites at least six months ahead for summer weekends, as West Virginia's most popular campgrounds fill quickly through Recreation.gov and state park reservation systems.
2Groups should designate a trip coordinator to handle the reservation process, as some campgrounds limit the number of sites bookable under a single name.
3Pack layers regardless of season, as mountain weather shifts rapidly and evening temperatures drop significantly even in summer, particularly at high-elevation locations like Spruce Knob Lake.
4Bring comprehensive first aid supplies and ensure multiple group members know the location of the nearest medical facilities, as many campgrounds sit 30-60 minutes from hospitals.
