I was really looking forward to stopping here, especially to see the lighthouse, but visiting in…read morethe off season definitely took away from the experience. This area is known for the lake and for boating and outdoor recreation, so I understand that coming during a colder time probably put a slight damper on everything that should be taken with a grain of salt if you're reading this review. When we arrived there was no one in the office. It felt closed off and unattended. I wasn't able to go up into the lighthouse at all, which was super disappointing because for me it was the main draw. From the outside, the lighthouse was lovely to look at but I was really really hoping to be able to climb to the top. The rest of the grounds looked fine and this is definitely a place designed for overnight stays. I would definitely return but during the right season and when I am able to explore the lighthouse!

The location is only 20-25 minutes from the New River Gorge area which makes visiting the bridge or downtown Fayetteville a breeze. The gift shop has a large selection of items just in case you forgot something or need a souvenir. There is a large community firepit and pavilion with Adirondack chairs. Each full hookup site also has it's own firepit with chairs. The property is well maintained. Make sure you take a walk to the hammock area...this was the kids favorite part! We already booked a trip back for next year and cannot wait to spend more time in WV.

It also has rocking chairs inside if you want to look out over the river. Outside the building is a walkway that goes down a significant number of stairs to a platform that looks out towards the bridge. It likely has some of the best views of any National Park visitor center you're ever likely to find. It's also a good place to get information and load up on water before heading down into the gorge where amenities are limited and cell service is generally absent. There's no charge to stop in.

There are restrooms inside but the building is not dog friendly. They did have the national parks passport stamp so my husband was very excited about that. The building has some interpretive exhibits about the gorge, the famous bridge and the recent regions history. There is also a viewing area. I feel like the center was closing earlier than I expected it to, so we had to make our visit a quick one but it is a great jumping off point for spending time in the park.

At check-in, me and my aunt wanted to switch rooms, because she needed 2 beds and she had a king reserved and I had a double queen reserved and I was by myself. The front desk agent said it was no problem and she put still made sure we were close to the rest of the family. (We were having a family reunion) also they placed all our rooms on the same floor. So we had the floor to us as a family. The 2 social areas on the floor were an added plus, great places to hang out as a group. The rooms are very well maintained and clean, the beds are firm with lots of pillows. All thou the sheets and blankets are a little thin. And the noise level is very quiet. Plus, the view from the balconies and the overlook of the New River is breathtaking. 10/10 for me, me and my whole family highly recommend this place for a great stay!

The small RV/pop-up sites are large,clean, and somewhat private. They have gravelEd areas to park, a picnic table, fire ring, and some have a wooden deck. I did not see any of the tent sites. The campground is large and clean. They provide a playground, dog park, and what looks to be a covered gathering area with picnic tables. The bathrooms have stalls and showers and are cleaned daily. The main office has some souvenirs , daily camp gear , ice and firewood for sale. The customer service is the best that I've ever experienced at a campground. All staff were very friendly. They help you back your camper into the spot and deliver and unload purchased firewood to your site. Be aware that you are camping in the mountains, so most sites and the overall area is on an incline. I would definitely stay here again!

Chestnut Creek Campground is a quiet, wooded spot near Fayetteville, West Virginia. The sites are…read morenon-electric, but there is a bathhouse with hot showers and a dishwashing sink, and I had enough Verizon service to stay connected. Seth, the owner, keeps the place in great shape and is quick to respond by phone or text. At $15 per person per night, it is a great value. Fayetteville is just minutes away with excellent local restaurants and shops, and the Canyon Rim Visitor Center and the rest of New River Gorge National Park are an easy drive from the campground.

This historic home is not your typical bed and breakfast, but has several rooms you can rent, we opted for the loft - a converted attic with two bedrooms, a bathroom and a sitting area. Upon arrival, you will enter from the rear of the property where the gravel parking lot is. The home is walking distance from Pies and Pints pizza. You may have to dodge a local cat that has associated itself with the home. Their website warns you that the loft has low ceilings and they were not kidding. At 6 feet, I had to duck in places and still knocked my head in others. The stairway is fairly daunting for taller persons maneuvering with luggage bc of the low ceiling and turn. The room was well apportioned and decorated with 3 full size beds, there was also a fold out bed in the closet but no bedding and it does not appear there is any staff on site. But I will say that they are attentive in their correspondence and provide contact numbers. I believe they would have responded if we needed them. The bathroom had curated local soaps and bath salts and a rainfall shower head. Towels were also of nice quality. The main bedroom that my wife and I shared had a single bed, sitting area with a French press and was well decorated. One of my fave touches were the valet trays on the bedside tables. Our room also had a sound machine. Our three kids shared the other bedroom which contained two beds and a roll out bed (no extra bedding though). This room also had a sound machine. The sitting area had a couch, TV and small refrigerator with food and drink you can purchase - we had to have a discussion with our kids about why they should not consume these items upon arrival. The breakfast part of the business is a pantry that is equipped with yogurt, lots of granola, fruit, juice, coffee and assorted cookies. Definitely a light breakfast but sufficient. Also, finding the nook can be a little difficult since you had to cross over the second floor and come down a separate stair case. Would totally recommend this location for a weekend getaway with your spouse, not sure I would bring my kids again.

Variety of cabins closer to a group or further away depending on privacy level. Fire pits available for grilling near each cabin and a communal big grill that requires charcoal.

If you have a family most of the the cabins has a queen bed and double bunk beds if traveling with friends.
