Campgrounds near Point Pleasant, West Virginia
Point Pleasant sits at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha rivers in Mason County, West Virginia, giving RV travelers access to river-valley campgrounds on both the West Virginia and Ohio sides. The town is best known as the site of the 1966 Mothman sighting, and draws visitors from around the world each September for the Mothman Festival held on Main Street.
Close-in options include the Mothman Festival Campground, which serves overflow demand during the festival weekend, and Kountry Resort Campground in Racine, Ohio, about 24 miles from town, for longer-stay RV bookings. A short drive across the Ohio River leads to Forked Run State Park near Reedsville, Ohio, and the Huntington / Fox Fire KOA Holiday sits south along the Ohio River corridor. Jackson Lake State Park adds another regional option for lake-focused trips.
Shoulder-season services and hookups vary considerably. Renters should confirm site length, amp service, and dump-station access with each campground before booking, since the mix ranges from full-hookup private parks to non-electric state-park loops.
Things to do near Point Pleasant
The Ohio River waterfront in Point Pleasant anchors most trips. Visitors stop at the Mothman Museum and the outdoor Mothman statue on Main Street, walk the Point Pleasant River Museum, and follow the floodwall murals that trace local history. Krodel Park, in town, has a small lake for fishing and paddling.
Outdoor recreation clusters around the state parks. Forked Run State Park features a campground, rustic cabins, picnic facilities, hiking trails, a swimming beach, boat ramps, and a disc golf course, and boats over 10 horsepower must operate at no-wake speed on the 102-acre lake, which keeps things quiet for fishing and paddling. Anglers can also launch onto the Ohio River from ramps adjacent to the park entrance.

The single biggest date on the local calendar is the Mothman Festival. It is held every third weekend in September on Main Street in Point Pleasant, and hotels and campgrounds in the area book up fast, so the earlier the reservation, the closer the stay to the festival center. RV sites within a short drive of Main Street disappear months in advance for that weekend.
Spring through early fall is the main camping window. State-park campgrounds and lake facilities are fully staffed from roughly April through October. At Forked Run, Area 1 is the only camping area open from November 1 through April 1, and the showerhouse in Area 1 closes December 5 through late April, so cold-weather visitors need to plan around limited hookups and closed facilities. The dump station remains open and water is available year-round.
Winters are cold but usually short. Snow accumulates only lightly in most years, and river-valley fog is common on cool mornings in late fall and early spring.
How to book campgrounds in the area
Reservation systems vary by operator. Ohio state parks, including Forked Run State Park, book through the Ohio State Parks reservation system: reservations may be made up to six months in advance online or by calling (866) 644-6727. West Virginia state parks handle bookings through the official West Virginia State Parks website, with a reservation window that opens well in advance for camping.
Private parks such as Huntington / Fox Fire KOA Holiday take reservations through the KOA site or by phone, and the Mothman Festival Campground and Kountry Resort Campground accept direct bookings through the operators. For festival weekend, contact the campground months ahead and confirm site length limits, especially for rigs over 35 feet, since some pull-throughs and cabins have length caps.
What to expect on arrival
Expect a mix of rural river-valley and small-town driving. Point Pleasant itself is compact, with level streets near the floodwall, and the surrounding countryside runs to rolling hills. Cell coverage is uneven at the state parks: Forked Run has poor cellular service in the campground, with Wi-Fi available at the camp office.
At private parks, hookups are typically 30 and 50 amp with water, sewer, and cable at premium sites. State-park loops trend more rustic: Forked Run's campground has 143 sites in five camping areas, with 79 electric and 64 non-electric sites, plus showers, a dump station, playgrounds, and coin-operated laundry. Bring leveling blocks for sloped sites, and note that some campers report unlevel pads and dated shower facilities in the older loops.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Point Pleasant, WV
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Point Pleasant, WV?
An RV rental in Point Pleasant is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Mid-Ohio Valley. On RVezy, travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes range from $175 to $275, and larger Class A models run $250 to $400. Because hosts in West Virginia set their own nightly rates, you can filter by budget to find a cheap RV rental Point Pleasant travelers love. Booking midweek, traveling in shoulder seasons (April or October), and choosing a travel trailer over a motorhome are the easiest ways to save. Pro tip: avoid the third weekend of September unless you have booked early, since the Mothman Festival fills the town fast.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Point%20Pleasant%2C%20West%20VirginiaWhat do I need to rent an RV in Point Pleasant, West Virginia?
Renting an RV in Point Pleasant is refreshingly simple. You need to be 25 or older with a valid driver's license to be an approved driver on RVezy. West Virginia does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special endorsement for personal RVs under 26,000 pounds, which covers virtually every motorhome and travel trailer on RVezy. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your home country license. RVezy verifies your ID through the platform during booking, so the approval process happens online before you pick up the keys. Most first-time renters are cleared quickly and ready to head toward Tu-Endie-Wei State Park.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental protected if something goes wrong on the trip?
Yes, every RVezy booking in Point Pleasant includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the highway with confidence. The protection plan helps cover damage to the RV during your trip, and you choose your level of coverage during checkout (not the host) so you can pick what feels right for your family. This is not traditional auto insurance, but it provides real financial peace of mind in case of an accident, breakdown, or weather event along the Ohio River. Pro tip: if you are planning a winter trip across the Appalachian foothills, selecting a higher protection tier is a smart move for a small extra cost.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Point Pleasant RV trip plans change?
You can book with confidence. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not the individual host), and there is a money-back grace period right after booking so you are never locked in the moment you click confirm. The exact refund timing depends on how far in advance you cancel and the policy tier on your booking. West Virginia weather can shift quickly in spring and late fall, so it is reassuring to know that flexibility is built in. The full policy details live in the RVezy Help Center and apply consistently across listings. Lock in your dates now and review the policy in your booking confirmation if plans change.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Point Pleasant?
Absolutely, four-legged co-pilots are welcome on plenty of trips. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to instantly see every pet-friendly RV rental Point Pleasant has available, then message the host to confirm details about your specific pup. Once you arrive, Krodel Park has open green space perfect for a stretch, and Tu-Endie-Wei State Park at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers welcomes leashed dogs on its walking paths. McClintic Wildlife Management Area just north of town is another great spot for longer leashed walks. Pro tip: pack a collapsible water bowl since West Virginia summers can get humid along the river.
wvstateparks.com/park/tu-endie-wei/Can the RV be delivered to my campground in Point Pleasant?
Yes, RV delivery in Point Pleasant is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters. Many local hosts will drive the RV directly to Krodel Park Campground, a private property in Mason County, or a nearby campground across the river in Ohio, then handle the full setup including leveling, hookups, and a walkthrough. That means you can fly into Yeager Airport in Charleston or Tri-State Airport in Huntington, rideshare to your campsite, and walk into a fully ready RV. Filter by Delivery on RVezy to see exactly which hosts offer it and how far they will travel. This option shines on Mothman Festival weekend when parking in town is tight.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Point%20Pleasant%2C%20West%20VirginiaHow far can I drive on my RV rental, and what mileage policies should I expect?
You have more range than you might think. Most Point Pleasant hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and many offer add-on mileage packages or an RV rental with unlimited mileage for longer adventures. From Point Pleasant, popular drives include Charleston (about 50 miles southeast), Huntington (about 55 miles southwest), Athens, Ohio (about 50 miles northwest), and New River Gorge National Park (around 150 miles southeast). A Hocking Hills State Park loop is roughly 95 miles each way. Each listing shows its mileage policy upfront before you book, so there are no surprises. Pro tip: if you are planning a multi-stop West Virginia RV trip, message the host first to bundle extra miles at a discount.
nps.gov/neri/index.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Point Pleasant, WV?
You are spoiled for choice. Krodel Park Campground sits right inside Point Pleasant on a stocked lake with electric and water hookups and is walking distance to the Mothman Museum. Chief Logan State Park (roughly 60 miles south) has wooded electric sites and hiking trails. Across the river in Ohio, Forked Run State Park (about 35 miles upstream) is a peaceful pick with electric sites and lake access. For full-service RV camping Point Pleasant travelers enjoy, North Bend State Park (about 90 miles north) has paved pads and access to the North Bend Rail Trail. Reserve Krodel directly with the City of Point Pleasant and state park sites through the West Virginia State Parks online system.
wvstateparks.com/When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Point Pleasant?
Point Pleasant shines from mid-April through late October, with the sweet spots being May (highs in the low to mid 70s Fahrenheit), September, and early October when the Ohio River Valley turns gold and red. Summer (June through August) brings humid days with highs in the mid-80s, ideal for swimming at nearby lakes but warm inside an RV without good airflow. Winter rentals are possible too: December and January average highs around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and many hosts list four-season RVs with heated tanks and furnaces for cozy off-season getaways. Pro tip: the third weekend of September is the Mothman Festival, the town's biggest event, so book your motorhome rental Point Pleasant trip months ahead if you want in on it.
weather.gov/rlx/I have never driven an RV before. Is Point Pleasant a good place to start?
It is one of the friendlier launch pads in West Virginia for first time renting an RV. Point Pleasant is a small river town of about 4,000 people with wide streets, low traffic, and easy access to U.S. Route 35 and State Route 2, both gentle divided or two-lane highways. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through slide-outs, hookups, the generator, and dump procedures before you drive off. You are not figuring it out alone. Pro tip: do a short practice loop along the Ohio Riverfront before pointing toward the hills. By the time you reach your campsite, you will feel like a pro.
transportation.wv.gov/highways/Pages/default.aspxWhat happens if my RV breaks down during my Point Pleasant trip?
Take a breath, you are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you are parked at Krodel Park or rolling through the back roads of Mason County. The roadside team helps with flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, towing, and mechanical issues. RVezy customer support is also reachable before, during, and after the trip, and your host is usually just a quick message away for RV-specific questions like resetting the generator. Cell service is solid throughout Point Pleasant and along U.S. 35. Pro tip: snap a photo of the RV's VIN and license plate before you leave the driveway to speed up any service call.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take an RV rental from Point Pleasant across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, cross-state road trips are encouraged. Point Pleasant sits right on the Ohio border, with Kentucky about 40 miles south and Virginia within a half-day drive, so an RV road trip from Point Pleasant naturally spans multiple states. Popular routes include Hocking Hills, Ohio (about 95 miles), Red River Gorge, Kentucky (about 185 miles), the Great Smoky Mountains (about 300 miles), and Washington, D.C. (about 370 miles). Travel into Canada may be allowed depending on the host and protection coverage, so message the host directly before booking if that is your plan. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals due to insurance limitations. Pro tip: build a Charleston to Lexington loop for a weekend, it is one of the prettiest drives in the region.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage should I budget for an RV rental Point Pleasant trip?
Budgeting fuel is easy once you know the ranges. Travel trailers do not burn fuel themselves but reduce your tow vehicle's mileage to roughly 10 to 14 miles per gallon (MPG). Class B campervans average 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes 8 to 12 MPG, and larger Class A coaches 6 to 9 MPG. West Virginia gas prices typically run close to or slightly below the national average, and you will find competitively priced stations along U.S. Route 35 in Point Pleasant. For a 300-mile loop in a Class C, plan on roughly $90 to $130 in fuel at current pump prices. Pro tip: top off before crossing into Ohio where prices near tourist corridors can spike slightly.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Point Pleasant?
For most of the year, two to four weeks ahead is plenty. Krodel Park Campground takes reservations directly through the City of Point Pleasant, while West Virginia State Parks like Chief Logan and North Bend use the official wvstateparks.com reservation system and accept bookings up to 13 months in advance. For Mothman Festival weekend (third weekend of September), book six months out or you will be hunting for backup options 30 miles away. Summer weekends at riverfront sites also fill 4 to 6 weeks ahead. Pro tip: weekday arrivals (Sunday through Wednesday) are almost always wide open, even in peak season, and rates are often lower. Pair that with a midweek RV pickup for the best deal.
wvstateparks.com/What are local driving conditions like around Point Pleasant?
You will find Point Pleasant easy to navigate. The town itself is flat and grid-style, sitting at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers, with U.S. Route 35 (a four-lane divided highway) connecting you to Charleston in about an hour. State Route 2 hugs the Ohio River north toward Parkersburg with gentle curves and scenic views. Once you head east toward the New River Gorge, expect winding two-lane roads through Appalachian foothills with grades up to about 6 percent, fun but worth taking slowly in a motorhome. Winter brings occasional snow and ice from December through February. Pro tip: if you are driving a tall Class A, plan your route in advance and stick to main thoroughfares like Viand Street or Jefferson Boulevard to avoid older low-clearance side streets.
wv511.org/What amenities do campgrounds near Point Pleasant offer?
You will find a full range. Krodel Park Campground has electric and water hookups, a dump station, restrooms with showers, and lake access right inside city limits. State parks like Chief Logan and North Bend provide electric and water sites, modern bathhouses, and centralized dump stations (handy if your site is water-only). For fresh water fills and dumps in a pinch, the Krodel Park dump station is open seasonally and large truck stops along Interstate 64 near Charleston are open year-round. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot drinking-water hose and a 30-to-50 amp adapter, two small items that solve most hookup hiccups.
wvstateparks.com/park/chief-logan-state-park/What should I expect inside a typical RV rental in Point Pleasant?
Comfort, and probably more than you expect. Most Point Pleasant RVs sleep 4 to 8 people with a mix of queen beds, bunks, and convertible dinettes. Standard features include a full kitchen (fridge, freezer, microwave, propane stove, often an oven), a bathroom with shower and toilet, roof air conditioning, a propane furnace, and seatbelts for all driving passengers. Many newer rigs add solar, generators, outdoor speakers, awnings, and TVs with streaming sticks. WiFi varies: some hosts include a hotspot while others recommend you tether from your phone (cell coverage in Point Pleasant is reliable on all major carriers). For a campervan rental Point Pleasant adventurers love, expect a galley kitchen, convertible bed, and compact, easy-to-drive profile. Each listing details every amenity before you book.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Point%20Pleasant%2C%20West%20VirginiaWhat add-ons and pickup options are available when I rent an RV in Point Pleasant?
Hosts in Point Pleasant offer a fun lineup of add-ons to make your trip easier. Common extras include camp chairs and tables, bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, bikes, kayaks (perfect for the Ohio River), portable grills, and extra generator hours for off-grid sites. Many hosts also offer pre-stocked propane and pre-filled fresh water tanks so you can roll out immediately. Pickup is usually at the host's home in or near Point Pleasant, while Instant Book listings and Delivery options let you skip the back-and-forth. Mileage policies and add-on fees are listed transparently on each page. Pro tip: ask about a kayak add-on, paddling near Tu-Endie-Wei State Park is a Point Pleasant RV trip highlight.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Point%20Pleasant%2C%20West%20VirginiaHow does payment and the security deposit work on an RVezy rental?
Payment is straightforward and fully handled through the secure RVezy platform, so you never pay the host in cash. Your trip total (rental fee, protection plan, taxes, and any add-ons) is charged when you book, and a refundable security deposit is held separately, typically a few days before pickup. Deposit amounts depend on the RV's value, and as long as you return the RV in the condition you received it, your deposit is released within a few business days after the trip. To avoid deductions, do a thorough walk-around video at pickup and dropoff. Pro tip: bring a roll of paper towels and empty the holding tanks at the Krodel Park dump station before return.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Point Pleasant during winter, and is it worth it?
Absolutely, winter is a quietly magical time for an RV rental in Point Pleasant. December and January highs hover around 40 degrees Fahrenheit with overnight lows in the 20s, so you will want a four-season RV (heated holding tanks, enclosed underbelly, and a strong propane furnace) which many West Virginia hosts list specifically for cold-weather trips. Filter listings for heated tanks and 30-amp shore power, then book a site with full hookups to keep your fresh water flowing. The Mothman Museum, Lowe Hotel, and historic Main Street are open year-round and far less crowded. Pro tip: pack a heated water hose and an extra propane tank, two small upgrades that turn a chilly forecast into a cozy adventure.
