SEPTEMBER SPECIALS
in West Virginia State Parks

If the camping bug is calling you to a West Virginia State Park or Forest for late summer camping, consider September. There isn’t as much traffic and campgrounds are even more relaxed in nature.

Mid-week cabin rentals are excellent times to enjoy parks and forests for peace and quiet. Summer vacations are winding down and there is more opportunity to enjoy facilities and services as fall colors begin to creep across the landscape.
