Campgrounds near Red Jacket, West Virginia
Red Jacket sits in Mingo County in the southwestern corner of West Virginia, along the Tug Fork River corridor that separates the state from Kentucky. The town is squarely inside Hatfield-McCoy Trails country, a professionally managed off-highway vehicle trail network with more than 1,000 miles of marked routes spread across multiple systems in southern West Virginia. RV travelers use Red Jacket as a base for the Buffalo Mountain, Devil Anse, and Rockhouse trail systems, all of which are within a short drive or ride.
Campgrounds close to Red Jacket cater primarily to ATV, UTV, and side-by-side riders, with trail-access sites, gravel pads, and gear-friendly amenities. Options in the immediate area include Coal Camp Lodging, Devil's Backbone Adventure Resort, Trails 2 Paradise, Hatfield's Hideout, and Devil Anse ATV Resort, LLC.
Beyond the trails, the area carries deep coalfield history. Nearby Matewan is a National Historic Landmark district known for the 1920 Matewan Massacre and the broader West Virginia Mine Wars, giving families a mix of outdoor recreation and historical stops within a compact geography.
Things to do near Red Jacket
The main draw is the Hatfield-McCoy Trails system. The Buffalo Mountain system sits between Williamson, Delbarton, and Matewan and connects to the Devil Anse and Rockhouse systems, allowing long point-to-point rides without trailering between staging areas. Trails are color-rated for difficulty, from green easiest routes suitable for newer riders to black most-difficult routes and orange single-track sections.
Off the trails, families can visit the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum in Matewan, walk the historic downtown, and take self-guided or guided tours of Hatfield-McCoy feud sites. The Tug Fork River offers smallmouth bass and catfish fishing along the West Virginia and Kentucky border.
Matewan also has casual dining and small shops within riding distance of several area campgrounds, so a lunch or dinner run off the trail is straightforward.

The Hatfield-McCoy Trails are open year-round during daylight hours, so there is no true off-season, but conditions change sharply through the year. Spring brings some of the wettest riding conditions, with muddy trails, running creek crossings, and rapid weather shifts. Riders should expect slower speeds and pack for wet gear.
Summer is peak season. Warm, humid days and long daylight hours draw the largest crowds, and campgrounds near Buffalo Mountain and Devil Anse can book out weeks in advance around holiday weekends and major trail events. Fall is widely considered the best time to ride, with cooler temperatures, lower humidity, generally drier trails, and hardwood color across the ridgelines from late September into early November.
Winter riding is possible and less crowded, but nights routinely fall below freezing, snow and ice can appear on higher ridges, and some lodging operators run reduced hours. Confirm winter availability directly with any campground before booking.
Booking and trail permits
Campgrounds near Red Jacket are privately operated and book directly through each property's website or phone line. There is no single reservation portal that covers all of them, so travelers renting an RV should reserve sites early for summer and fall weekends and confirm hookup type, rig-length limits, and trail access before arrival.
Every rider and every passenger on the Hatfield-McCoy Trails must carry an individual user permit. Permits are valid from the date of purchase through December 31 of that year and are affixed as a sticker to the left side of the helmet below the goggle line. They can be purchased online through the Hatfield-McCoy Trails website, at any trailhead facility, or through authorized vendors across the region, including many area lodging operators.
What to expect on the ground
The terrain around Red Jacket is steep, forested Appalachian ridge country. Roads are narrow and winding, and the last mile into some campgrounds may involve gravel or single-lane sections. Larger Class A rigs should call ahead to confirm access and turning room. Cell coverage is spotty in the hollows, so downloading offline maps before arrival is wise.
Expect a rider-first culture. Fuel, food, and lodging in Matewan, Delbarton, and Williamson are set up to accommodate ATVs and UTVs riding in from the trails. DOT or SNELL approved helmets and eye protection are required, alcohol is prohibited on the trails, and operators and passengers must meet manufacturer minimum age and size requirements.
Bring layers regardless of season. Ridge tops run cooler than valley staging areas, creek crossings soak boots quickly, and evenings at camp can be noticeably cooler than midday trail temperatures.
