Campgrounds and RV parks near West Union, WV

North Bend State Park is best known for the 72-mile North Bend Rail Trail, a mostly flat former B&O corridor that passes through old railroad tunnels and bridges. The trail is popular for cycling, walking, and horseback riding, and River Run sits near a midpoint access. North Bend has a 305-acre lake stocked with bluegill, channel catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and musky, and boat rentals include canoes, kayaks, jon boats, and pontoons. Cedar Creek State Park adds fourteen miles of hiking and biking trails plus stocked ponds, a swimming pool, and a mini-golf course. At Stonewall Jackson Lake, campers can add golf, a marina, and swimming to the itinerary. Sutton Lake, near the Flatwoods KOA, offers boat rentals and open water for paddling and fishing.

Most state-park campgrounds in the region operate on a seasonal schedule. The campgrounds at North Bend State Park are open spring through fall, weather permitting, generally running from mid-April through late October. Cedar Creek follows a similar pattern, with the campground open spring through fall and closed in winter. Briar Point at Stonewall Resort and Flatwoods KOA Journey are the main year-round options in the area, and both function as reliable overnight stops given their proximity to I-79. Summer brings the busiest weekends, especially around holidays and the West Virginia State Folk Festival in Glenville. Fall foliage in October draws steady weekend traffic through the rolling hills, and winter travel usually means colder temperatures, occasional snow, and reduced park amenities, including seasonal pool and pavilion closures. Spring can be wet, so plan for muddy ground at riverside sites and check road conditions before towing into the parks.

Roads into the state parks tend to be narrow and winding. There are two ways into North Bend, and the west road is a single lane not suited for a big trailer, so larger rigs should approach from the east via US-50. Cedar Creek recommends using Route 5 through Glenville rather than the Cedarville and Copen Road route when hauling trailers. Hookups vary. Cedar Creek offers 66 regular sites and 10 group sites, all with water hookups and 30-amp electric service. River Run at North Bend has 26 sites with 30/50-amp electric and water. Briar Point provides 30- and 50-amp electric with water and sewer, and all sites at the Flatwoods KOA are full hookup. Cell service is limited inside North Bend and Cedar Creek, though Wi-Fi is available at the campgrounds. Firewood is typically sold on site.
