About

Babcock State Park Campground sits in the forested hills of Fayette County, about 20 miles southeast of the New River Gorge Bridge. The campground offers 52 sites spread across a wooded setting: 28 sites have electric-only hookups (four of which are ADA accessible) and 24 are non-electric, all accommodating tents or trailers. A central bathhouse provides restrooms, showers, and coin-operated laundry facilities. Campers have access to two water fill-up stations, two sewage dump facilities, WiFi, and cell service from most major carriers. Firewood and ice are available for purchase. The park is best known for the Glade Creek Grist Mill, a fully functional replica that draws visitors year-round. Over 20 miles of hiking and biking trails wind through the 4,127-acre park, and a stocked lake offers fishing and boating opportunities. The campground operates from the third Friday in April through the fourth Monday in October, weather permitting. Reservations require a minimum two-night stay on weekends or one night Sunday through Thursday, with a 14-night maximum stay. Check-in is at 1 p.m. and check-out is at noon.
