Campground host was awesome. The comfort station in the campground is overdue for upgrades but the vault toilets were all nicely maintained and clean. Would return anytime!

Stuart campground was very nice. The campers were all well behaved and the campground was very quite. Stuart campground is located close enough to Elkins, WV to get anything you needed such as fuel, repairs and supplies without being too close to the campground.

The camping are was in excellent condition as was all the facilities. Clean , well maintained with great privacy between sites. Camp Host was friendly, professional and justifiably proud about about a camping area that excelled in all areas.

@VivianDF272B7B · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #5

So peaceful and quiet. A great place to stay and get back to nature. I was amazed at the big trees and lush greenery. So beautiful. I hope to be back at Stuarts one day.

Tha pavilion is small, but manageaeble for about 20 people under cover. More if it isn't raining. No close parking, so be prepared to haul your stuff and no close restroom, so plan ahead. Suart Rec Area is a great space.

@DenverC29A7952 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #16

Quiet. Great separation between sites. Feels private.

@GingerB3507596 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #5

Great stay.

We were in site 10, which shows as a double site 99' long. It was the first time I had seen a double site that was not side by side. Whoever gets here first, will be the last to leave as the side is set up to park in a single row. This site is not 99' long. I could only measure it by stepping it off, but I would guess it is 85" long. I wish the Forest Service had photos of the sites on their reservation page. The campground is very nice and be sure to visit the recreation area by the water

Stuart's is a beautiful park with a friendly host. However, the need for maintenance is very apparent. The sites need gravel. Some sites have steep drop off's from the paved pads. The bath houses are in need of updating/maintenance. The water issue needs fixed. Water pressure is down and it's obvious. Fix the problem.

@ReannaC0AD8BD5 · Camped on Sep 17, 2023 at Campsite #14

As always, a good experience. Quiet and peaceful. Great camp host...friendly, makes frequent rounds and helpful.

Family friendly campground!!

@AmandaU648A065 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #12

Loved our site. Staff was friendly. Only thing was, the automatic light in womans restroom was too quick. I was left in the dark in the shower!

The area is in the Monongahela Forest and full of history. It is beautiful, the laurel were blooming and gorgeous. The recreation area is large, nice, picnic areas, swimming hole and awesome fishing of the lower Shavers Fork. There are trails around and lots of back road driving opportunities. Bickle Knob Lookout is close. Wild raspberries blooming in multiple areas. Lots of wildlife! Beautiful night sky! The campground is clean, plenty of gravel to prevent mud holes and flooding of the sites. They have blacktop areas to park the campers, designated tent area if desired, stable picnic tables, deep fire pits and lantern holders in each site. Privacy in between campsites. Conjoining sites if desired when traveling in groups. The campground was quiet and peaceful during our stay. The site is black topped and safe for bike riding. If traveling with children, there is no designated areas for them to play or a playground of any kind. Only negative I see.

The picnic area is large and very nice. Swimming in the river is a treat for people of all ages.

@WayneS8853640 · Camped on Jun 21, 2023 at Campsite #4

Site 4 is very level and can’t find a better, more willing to assist and knowledgeable camp host!

@KatrinaT721473 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #GS4

This place has gone way downhill. No running water and the bathroom toilets were overflowing.

@JosephT3B2AF20 · Camped on Jun 2, 2023 at Campsite #11

Host was very nice and helpful Site was semi private and clean Very nice campground

@BradleyL566964 · Camped on May 18, 2023 at Campsite #12

The water hose at the dump station doesn’t work with my hook up. The connection was broke

@EddyW1201841 · Camped on Aug 29, 2022 at Campsite #10

The hosts and campground is super. The shower water temperature and faucets could use some attention.

@JamesG6676411 · Camped on Aug 27, 2022 at Campsite #15

Enjoyed camping here! Baths where clean. Traffic noise during day was a bit annoying but not at night.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
