The lake was really pretty and the dam had some water flowing over the spillway, which added to the peaceful ambiance. You could easily have a picnic here or rent a boat and paddle around or even hike or bike trails, like the Billy Goat's Gruff Trail, which may be the best name for a trail ever.

Absolute worst camping experience of my entire life. The people running this place had the nerve to…read morecall me literally the morning of my reservation and tell me my reservation was not being honored, the last thing I want to hear when out of state and hundreds of miles away from home while on a trip I spent countless hours preparing for. Total bullshit. Ruined my whole day and tainted my visit to West Virginia and New River Gorge. Don't bother camping here unless you want to be moved to a shitty site with more noise and less privacy that you didn't pay for and don't want. I spent a considerable amount of time researching third-party websites for views and reviews of specific sites before booking. They granted me the indignity of having to camp literally right next to the one I paid for and reserved in advance while someone else camped in the site I booked and was looking forward to. They claim they overbooked, but it was a different site than mine and on a previous day - making it entirely irrelevant to my reserved site the day of - they just couldn't be bothered to ask the person in my reserved site to move now that others were opened. Instead of asking the double-booked person to move to the one I was given, they made it my problem. Extremely unprofessional and just plain wrong. It's ridiculous that they even have a system which supposedly allows for double-booking in the first place. I never would have booked the site they replaced mine with. I checked out the site but never checked in (the RV people were right on the other side of the trees behind my site, something I had intentionally tried to avoid), ended up camping for free at Grandview Sandbar Campground instead. If I wanted that site I would have reserved it, but I didn't and would not have. Completely defeats the purpose of making a reservation if they aren't going to honor it. Little Beaver State Park Campground is run by incompetent and inconsiderate people. Flawed booking system and inept individuals ruining a public institution. Total joke, shame on them. "We hope you don't mind". Damn right I mind, you took my money for a reservation you didn't keep! I hated my non-stay with a passion and will never be back.

It serves as the gateway to the Jamboree site, and includes exhibits on Scouting, a small but well-stocked gift shop, and a friendly staff. The Welcome Center is accessible from both the southbound and northbound lanes of US-19. There is plenty of parking and the building itself is worth seeing. This summer (2019) it will welcome many thousands of staff and visitors to the World Scout Jamboree!

This campground is roughly 16 miles off of I-64 on two-lane back roads. In hindsight, too far for…read moreone night. Even though we got there around 4:00 on a Saturday, there was no one in the office. We never saw a staff member. The roads are narrow and cramped with cars parked around. We had to ask someone to move their truck so we could back into our site. The site itself was gravel and grass and fairly level. Our biggest issue was we asked for a 50 amp site, and it was only 30 amp and it was hot outside. The water source was shared with the site next to us. Sites are close together. It appears most of the campers are here seasonally. There is no cell service, and the WiFi worked just ok. There is a regularly used train track right across the river. The country road in front stays busy with lots of loud pick up trucks. Leaving is tricky due to obstacles, and you have to hug the trees closely. Our travel buddy ended up scratching his RV. We would find a park closer to the interstate next time we are passing through.

The cabins are awesome, the view and sound at the river retreat are priceless. The cabins are…read morealways very clean and well maintained. We were here twice last year and three times this year. Hot tubs sitting with a view of the river is a bonus. If you are into kayaking or taking in the local fare this is the perfect place. Lewisburg is only 20 minutes away and there is great coffee, wings and pizza. The staff and owners are the best. They will drop you off with your kayaks and take your vehicle back to the campground. Yes there are trains on the other side of the river, but it only adds character to the location. Cellphone service and internet access is intermittent, another plus in my opinion, it lets us get away from work and spend quality time together. If you are looking for a place to get away this is the place for you.

It's about 1.5…read morehours from us -- a mix of interstate, toll roads, winding turns, and peaceful backroads that made the ride feel like part of the adventure. When we arrived, the lake did *not* disappoint -- calm water, gorgeous scenery, and just a relaxed, welcoming energy. We didn't even try to explore the whole place (it's huge). We stopped at the first dock we saw, hopped out with our gear, and got straight to fishing. Mealworms on the hook, lines in the water, and good vibes all around. We saw fish swimming past and had a few nibbles, but no actual catches this time. Still, the whole experience was a win. It wasn't crowded at all -- just a few groups scattered around, everyone spaced out enough that it still felt peaceful. No loud music, no chaos, just people enjoying nature. **Pro Tips:** * Bring your own bait, drinks, and plenty of snacks (trust me, you'll get hungry). * There's a port-o-potty nearby *or*, you know\... nature works in a pinch (ask the boys ). * Sunscreen is a must and a hat, perhaps. We're already planning a return trip -- maybe with kayaks or to check out another part of the lake. If you're looking for a quiet, scenic spot to fish, chill, or just unwind without a crowd, Plum Orchard is a solid pick.

We pulled up and it alsost seemed like it was closed, but the tourguide came out to welcome us and invited us in for our own little personal tour of the museum and church. She gave us a pretty detailed history of the church and it's beginnings in 1786. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining, I could tell she was in it for the love of it. The museum is full of period pieces, and although small, it is very interesting for anyone into history. The church itself is kept in remarkable condition, as is the little graveyard. Despite it's tumultous past, it is very serene and peaceful here. I enjoyed every minute.
