Had a picnic table and a fire ring with a grill plate for cooking. They sell ice and firewood across the street from the campground, cash only. You can bring a hammer for the tent pegs but we just used a rock because as others have stated, the terrain is a bit rocky/harder ground. Wasn't a problem though. No alcohol permitted but you can get away with it, just don't be an obnoxious rude drunk and you'll be fine. No one came around trying to "get cha" if you had booze but also don't advertise it. Tip for people with kids! -site 126 has a little playground on it! Thought that was neat. Yes it's a bit crowded but wasn't really a problem for us, we were gone most of the day as there is so much to do there for the active outdoorsy type. If you're gonna be at your camp site 24/7 then yea I guess the crowdedness could be a problem. Overall, would camp there again!

Sites are pretty good, and I like the sound of a train. My issue is the bathrooms and lack of…read moreinternet service. The showers in the women's bathhouse in the Cherry area don't drain. The showers are quite cramped with no real changing area. The sinks are the 1960's style, with a separate hot and cold faucet so you can only have one or the other. IMO, it's past time for new bathhouses. I don't expect WiFi but be aware if you have T-Mobile, you're outta luck for cell service too. Fayette Co. does offer free WiFi in the "downtown" area but it's not convenient to the campground.

It is very redneck but that's what's so fun about it, i myself am not redneck at all, but i must say it's entertaining watching everyone they're all very friendly and welcoming. We've made a lot of family friends at this camp site great people we never would have known if we never went. I highly recommend this place it has an amazing water park, the lakes are so much fun, (especially the big rock everyone jumps off of into big bear lake) it's great for late night drives when all the camp lights and decorations are lit, and most of all just a great place to make fun memories with your loved ones to look back on. (Side note the fireworks here on the 4th of july are stellar, we come every year to watch) :)

The bath house could use a massive update, prox to well traveled camplands road gets noisy, drivebys by camplands golf carts is obnoxious. IDK, its WV.

Tent sites are out away from the RV sites and rather spacious with nice flat ground to set up on.

Found by accident in Accident Maryland, if I found myself out this way again I wouldn't have any problem staying here again.

Since we have some in RVs and some who prefer tenting, this campground has the sites just close enough to easily get from one to the other without taking a real hike. The new owners (since Feb 2019) are passionate about making improvements that better our experience, and keep the grounds in great shape. The bathrooms were always clean, there were enough hooks and surfaces, and even the AC was good... something I have found lacking at other campgrounds. As a tenter, I'm happy with the size of the tent sites and the gently wooded area. I look forward to coming back!

Did you know that West Virginia is lousy with bears? I did not know this before visiting West…read moreVirginia. Did you know that I am incredibly afraid of bears? I am, and I agreed to stay in a cabin in the West Virginia woods without doing any bear research beforehand. I learned about the bears -- all 14,000 of them roaming the state -- a day before I was supposed to stay at Mountain Creek Cabins, which are located in the middle of the woods in Bruceton Mills. I was ... a little anxious about my stay, you could say. Never mind that a bear attack has never been recorded in the state of West Virginia. There's always a first, right? And it could be me! I'm writing this review unmauled, with all of my limbs intact, and with great memories of my stay at Mountain Creek Cabins. Staying at our cabin was one of the highlights of my visit to the area, and my kids agree: We all loved staying here. There are eight cabins on the property, so we weren't as isolated as I thought we'd be. We weren't isolated, but we were also far enough away from other people that we felt very much like we had lots of privacy. We stayed in the White Tail cabin, which can sleep five with one king bed, two twin beds and a rollaway bed. The twin beds are upstairs, but everything else is downstairs, including a living room with a big TV connected to Roku, a push-button fireplace, a full kitchen and dining table, and a restroom. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and eat at the cabin. The living room has a cabinet with board games. We played one of them (Rummikub) and loved it so much that we ended up buying it once we got home. There's also free and fast wifi, which is important to each person in my family. The decorations in the cabin are sparse, but what decor there is included Bible verses and deer paintings, which is definitely a choice. I was not blown away by the aesthetics of this cabin, but it was the garish lighting that really messed me up. There's one soft lamp in the living room, and everything else is bright, cool, alarming overhead lighting. If you're a person who notices lighting like I do, this place will have you all effed up. My advice: Turn on the lamp, turn on the little light above the stove, and just be OK with the place being a little dark. Your only choice is this or prison lighting. Every cabin comes with its own hot tub, which my children used multiple times during our stay. It was immaculate and steaming when we checked into our cabin, which was much appreciated after a long drive to get to the cabin. The hot tub overlooks the woods, so it was nice to sit in the hot tub and see nothing but trees and a small creek that runs through the property. Well, it was nice for my kids to do that -- I was standing outside on the deck, looking out for bears. I was not about to let the bears dine on Indiana-children soup. All of the cabins have access to a free laundry room, plus there are firewood bundles and eggs (?!?!) that you can purchase on the honor system. We had a great time at Mountain Creek Cabins. It was so relaxing to stay at a place that had everything we needed. I never did end up seeing a bear, so I would stay here again without hesitation.

Had a wonderful three-night stay in the Shawnee cabin. Used the cabin as a home base for my Wisp…read moresnowboarding trip with the girl I'm dating. The cabin has a fire pit out front, a front porch, and a back porch that's covered with a hot tub. There are two cabins close by on either side but it still feels private, especially the hot tub. It's a little weird that the door to the back porch and the kitchen window don't have curtains but I guess the trees probably blocked some or all of the view in. It's a cabin so don't expect a ton of room, but it's cozy and there is still plenty of space for two people. A family of four would be fine, but unless you're super close I wouldn't recommend two couples sharing the Shawnee cabin. There's a couch and TV but the TV doesn't really turn much (not a big deal). TV has Roku built in and there is dish satellite channels. There's plenty of heat, with two space heaters and an electric fireplace, which is basically another heater. The kitchen has basically everything you need. There's a small oven and an electric stove (that takes a while). There's also a tiny dishwasher which is nice. The fridge was turned on right before we arrived so it took like six hours to cool down. I wish they turned it on earlier but it wasn't a big deal. There's a coffee maker that can make kcups or regular coffee, and they provide a bunch of kcups. There's also salt and pepper, as well as aluminum foil. The bed was super comfy and we slept great all three nights. Bathroom was standard and worked fine. Hot tub was the true MVP of the trip. There's nothing better than ending a long day with a cold beer and a hot soak. Don't forget to hydrate too! The hot tub smelled a bit weird but we got used to it. Set that bad boy to 104° and you're good to go. It snowed a little and we don't have all wheel drive. All the driveways seems to be on an incline so we had to park strategically on the road that splits to the different cabins. They recommend AWD but if there's less than 4" of snow, you probably will be fine. The snow was beautiful! The owners/managers were hard to get a hold of. We called a couple times to get in touch but did not hear back at all. In the end, it was fine because the email we got after booking was very detailed and there's a binder on top of the fridge with more information. Note: wifi password was on the side of the fridge, not the front. As you're entering, follow the instructions on your email, and not your google maps/Waze/etc. Just remember to take exit 15 and take that route. As of early 2021, Verizon and TMobile had service until the last five minutes of the drive and no service at all around the cabins. There are no gas stations or grocery stores remotely close. I recommend getting food and gas in Frostburg or Cumberland (coming from DC) or Morgantown (if you come from West/North/South). Apparently one pizza place delivers to the cabins but we didn't order. I definitely recommend coming to stay at Mountain Creek Cabins and I think I'd love to come back in the future.

The property is family owned and they live on site. Communication for booking and up until your stay is great and check in is a breeze. Room 104 is my favorite and I have stayed there all but one time. The rooms are always clean, we'll furnished and stocked. The room with the ice machine between rooms 102 and 103 have a few extra towels and Toiletries available incase you need anything after hours. They only have 10 rooms and a parking spot assigned for each room with several extra guest spots. Right across the street there is a liquor store and a restaurant (currently vacant restaurant as of 2/2024). While visiting with the restaurant there, it was nice to have a spot for a quick bite. I highly recommend The Garrett Inn as they are consistent, well priced and just an overall wonderful experience.
