Our Take
What makes Riffle Run Campground special
Set among the rolling green hills of central West Virginia, Riffle Run Campground brings together comfort and countryside charm on the shores of Burnsville Lake. The Little Kanawha River flows nearby, and the surrounding landscape of mixed hardwood forests and open meadows paints a picture of Appalachia at its most inviting. This is camping that feels grounded, unpretentious, and genuinely relaxing. The campground offers 54 full hook-up sites alongside 6 primitive sites, giving you the flexibility to camp however suits you best. RV travelers will appreciate the reliable electric, water, and sewer connections, while tent campers seeking a simpler experience can settle into a more rustic setup closer to the rhythm of the land. Either way, the sites are well-maintained and surrounded by enough trees to give each one a sense of its own space. Burnsville Lake is a haven for anglers chasing bass, catfish, and crappie, and the gentle waters are equally welcoming for kayaking and canoeing. Hiking trails wind through the nearby hills, and the small towns dotting the region offer a warm, unhurried welcome. Riffle Run is the kind of campground where mornings start slowly with coffee and birdsong, afternoons drift by on the water, and evenings settle into the easy comfort of a campfire under a wide Appalachian sky.
