Even though it was last minute, Michael & Brandi refunded their money. He certainly didn't have to but it was very appreciated! My wife & I took my daughters and ended up having a a great time at the Chalets this weekend! Michael, the owner, was more than accommodating with our last minute firewood request! (If you can't bring your own firewood, I strongly advise purchasing it from Michael. You won't beat the price. I learned the hard way!). The cabin was clean and had everything we needed! We hope to return again before the year ends! Thank you again Michael & Brandi

Seth, the owner, keeps the place in great shape and is quick to respond by phone or text. At $15 per person per night, it is a great value. Fayetteville is just minutes away with excellent local restaurants and shops, and the Canyon Rim Visitor Center and the rest of New River Gorge National Park are an easy drive from the campground.

Variety of cabins closer to a group or further away depending on privacy level. Fire pits available for grilling near each cabin and a communal big grill that requires charcoal. Dog friendly, and perfect location between all the major whitewater attractions and local Walmart if needed to make a run to the grocery store. If you have a family most of the the cabins has a queen bed and double bunk beds if traveling with friends. What I like most about Ray's campground is you still have the outdoorsy feeling and not too commercialized. You can still unwind and feel zen and unplug. Overall peaceful.

Then, the next day we have a Christmas dinner (the weekend before Christmas usually, so everyone can avoid traffic and/or be with their immediate families for Christmas day). The cabins are in a great location on the New River Gorge, and they are very clean and beautiful inside with plenty of amenities. It's WAY better than a hotel. They just feel so homey. And there are heated bathroom floors, hot tubs on the screen-in porches and a fully functional kitchen in each. Even cable and wi-fi! The only real downside to these cabins are the parking is almost nonexistent for each cabin, and also that some of them have fireplaces and some don't -- and one year we had a gas leak when we did get one. Yikes! Overall, these cabins are a great setting with very relaxing furniture and atmosphere. You're close to the Gorge and downtown Fayetteville. A win-win!

I have never been treated so well as an RV site occupant! Park manager Shannon is the friendliest…read morehost I've ever known, and aside from being kind, was also a font of knowledge about the entire area. Having grown up around here, she gave me the inside scoop on where to go (and where not to). When you only have a limited time to spend somewhere, you want to maximize enjoyment, so avoiding places that weren't worth it was as valuable as recommendations for not-to-be-missed places. To be fair, there were very few she didn't recommend, but I appreciated her transparency when I asked. The park is clean, well-maintained, and under new ownership that holds high standards. Office building has a gift shop with a few sundries, Coke products vending machine, firewood and an ice machine. Close to lots of shopping, fast food, and there's a DELICIOUS restaurant right across the road -- you can literally just walk over, and they have great hours. Also central to the lake, the New River Gorge Bridge, and countless other natural attractions like Cathedral Falls and historic sites like Carnifex Ferry National Battlefield Park. And you're just a mile away from Mountaineer RV dealership with a service bay and campground store, in case you have issues. Highly recommended!

Just across the bridge from Fayetteville which has everything you need. Centrally located among an amazing amount of outdoor opportunities. The hostel is not staffed. You simply reserve on line and then receive an email with the door code. If you don't receive your email, call before you come or you may be sitting on the front porch for a while The hostel is neat and clean. Clean sheets on the bed. But towels are NOT included. Being your own. One of the fun parts about staying at a hostel is the interesting people you can meet. Usually it is a group of young people on an adventure. But it is a gamble. This time lost. I got Grandma and 4 kids age 7-15. Gma pumped them full of sugar. They were very loud & fought constantly. Gma yelled. So much for the relaxing part of my trip. This is why some hostels have an age restriction and why earplugs are mandatory. Overall it was a great place to stay. I would come again & would recommend it to my friends

By far the cheapest lodging in New River Gorge country. It kinda shocks me that there's no yelp…read morereview of the place, but better now than never. This is a hostel indeed, $22.50/night all-inclusive. You book it via paypal after checking the online calendar. In my experience, I didn't see my reservation updated, so I called the listed number to confirm. You should know it's not your typical hostel in that there's not a "lobby" or typical reception area - it's more like a big guest-house - so it took a day or two for them to call me back and let me know that my reservation was confirmed. I arrived late on a Friday night - thankfully they gave me a passcode to get in the door, so there's no such thing as a late arrival cutoff. That said, I pulled up after 11pm to this dark, quiet space, no cars parked there, but a couple of guys across the street outside a building talking a little loudly to each other. The circumstances made me think for a moment, "Did I make the right move coming here?", but I had nothing to worry about. The hostel is huge, a living space that you walk into, with downstairs leading to a couple of shared bunk rooms and bathrooms. It turned out I wasn't alone, as there was one other guest who didn't have a car, but she stayed in one room and I the other, so we had our own rooms for our stay. The bunks are pretty small - if I was laying on my back and lifted my knees I'd hit the bottom of the top mattress - but it was comfortable and I slept well. The upstairs living space has some games and a kitchen with a stocked fridge, to the point that it looks like it may be the owner's personal fridge. I used it to store my water bottles, which was hopefully okay. Incidentally, you can see the whole breakdown of the place via a YouTube video the owner made. It's pretty much as advertised. I really didn't spend much time here beyond sleep, though - there's a veritable bounty of outdoor riches in this land, so I was out the door at 7am both mornings I was here. You can't get much more convenient than here - just north of the bridge. It was interesting that I never met the owner, but I did keep pretty odd hours and she did leave a friendly note for me at the door. I loved my whole weekend in the area, and of course I loved paying $45 for two nights - should I return to this area in the future, I'll stay here without question.
