I was there today... we just stumbled upon it. It has not been cut in some time. The backside.of the camping area looks like they had spaces with electric but it has not been cut or maintained this year. It is still free as of 5/20/2023. Only a couple of tent campers.
Thanks for the update Malcolm. Lou
Absolutely gorgeous
That view is stunning. It is a beautiful campground but I seriously doubt if Fred or I will go tent camping again but never say never, LOL. Hmmm, if a car top camper camped there perhaps we could get away with our truck camper. 😉That was a lot of empty campsites. We saw those ear buds in Scotts ears and we were surprised he heard you. LOL Mary 💕 Fred
I don't see any issue with a truck camper at this campground. I believe the RV restriction was put in place because of the potential for property damage caused by long, low profile RVs crossing the railroad tracks. Lou
@@LivingOurDreamNow thinking of putting that on our list for truck camping trips for sure. Thank you for sharing.
That was very helpful thank you for the informative video! We’re planning to head up that way for a few days!
Feedback like this encourages us to keep making our videos! Thanks. Lou
Looks good thanks for sharing I love going to new river area have not really camped there yet though...also do you have a video or have to ever gone to the cranberry camp ground in WV?
Yes - I have been to the Cranberry Campground in the Monongahalia National Forest. It is a a great place to explore the Cranberry Backcountry and there are trails that depart from the campground. Cell service is poor here. I have not made a video. We did not have our TH-cam channel during the time of our visit. Lou
I love the shadows of the clouds. When you're talking at the beginning it almost looks like two people talking to each other. Looks like a very nice campground. I would say it would not be free. If anything they would charge a $2 fee that the government would keep well. Lol
What an amazing find, just added this to my camping map for our trip out that way next year. We loved our trip in 2020 to the NP and were at that same Grand Overlook. We did the hiking trails right from there as well. Great video to end the year with. Thanks Scott and Lou UPDATE: just saw the end about needing reservations and no RVs... Well thats a kick in the jewels... Still loved the video.
Not all of the free campgrounds in New River Gorge National Park are converting to Recreation.gov reservations. Be sure to check the National Park website for the latest information on the respective campground. Lou
Lol, thanks Lou! I DID enjoy the video, all the way up until the end when you said that RV's don't appear to be permitted there ! 😆 That's a bummer because since we are so close, it was going to be a summer destination next year for us to the New River NP. I'm guessing Army Campground and Grandview Sandbar campgrounds are going to go with the same changes for 2023? I'll have to look into it next Spring. Thanks for the video though! I'm leaving next week for Arizona for the winter and plan to stay in some of your showcased spots! Keep em coming!

It looks like a beautiful campground. To bad they don't allow smaller RVs.
Where did you get that coffee pot? I needs that in my gear!
That coffee pot and cups are more than 35 years old. Lou
@@LivingOurDreamNow Ha! Mine is only about 25yrs old and it's pretty well beat. Haven't been able to find a GOOD replacement
Lol, i was in that same spot a month ago. I was the only one there. Now its gonna be "by reservation only"?? 🙄
Very train heavy that day/night, I didnt get much sleep
Check the latest announcement on the New River Gorge National Park Website. It appears the NPS reversed course and this campground will remain first come, first-served and free. Lou
@@LivingOurDreamNow oh good, I will go back there again. Apart from the trains, it really is a beautiful spot. I do know they've been moving alot of coal lately so probably why. Thanks for letting me know 🙂👍

Well, Hello there Scott ! How have you been? Great video Lou! What a great camping trip you guys had. A beautiful place indeed! Its so nice to see you got to spend some special time together!

Nice visitor center, and a fun gift shop too ! and I loved the little store !!! How was your Chili Mac ? and of course, nice choice of beverage ! Nice roaring fire ya had there too ! Crickets in the background sounded awsome! What a nice relaxing trip! Thanks so much for sharing!!! vicky
Octoberfest Sam Adams made for a great beverage around the campfire! Lou
Did that campground used to be bass lake campground? My grandparents used to live in meadow creek and they are buried up In cemetery behind visitor center at sandstone
That is a lot of lawn to mow. Sure is a beautiful setting. Pretty crazy to think this is inside a National Park and there is hardly anyone there. Angie and I have considered the purchase of a Roof Top Tent and putting it on our truck. This would be a great place to put that to use. Thanks for sharing Lou. Safe Travels and Merry Christmas to you and Melony.
Hi Lou, do you know if this is still free camping?
Last report was that this is still a free camping area. Lou
Tents only?
Any showers nearby?
I know the nearby Sandstone Visitor Center had flush toilets and a fresh water fill, but I don't recall showers. Lou
Hey Lou.... Is RV Camping permissible there or is it only tents? Would something as large as a 38 foot Skoolie fit down those roads and be able to cross the tracks??
Sorry!! Commented on this prior to watching to the end. You answered my question in the video. Too bad that this campground wouldn't be available for us...
