Campground Overview

About Cranberry Campground

What sets Cranberry Campground apart is its serene riverside setting and close proximity to the vast Cranberry Wilderness, a haven for adventurous explorers. Located 13.5 miles north of Richwood, West Virginia, this semi-primitive campground offers a true escape with abundant fishing, hiking, and wildlife opportunities in a peaceful natural backdrop.

The campground features 28 single sites and 2 double sites spread over two loops, each equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, lantern post, and gravel parking spur. Though rustic, its well-maintained vault toilets and two hand-pumps for potable water ensure a comfortable experience. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate its proximity to the trout-rich Cranberry River, while hikers can enjoy a network of neighboring trails. There are no electric or water hookups on-site, promoting a back-to-nature allure, yet generators can be used during designated hours.

Nearby, the Cranberry Wilderness and the scenic Falls of Hills Creek, with their breathtaking waterfalls and trails, are standout destinations within a short drive. For those seeking authentic immersion in Appalachia's outdoor beauty, Cranberry Campground is ideal for weekend retreats or extended escapes into the wild.
