About
Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground
A Wilderness Riverfront Oasis
The camp has access to nearly 4 miles of wilderness riverfront on a dead end road, and yet just a few miles to the beautiful town of Parsons WV in Tucker County! Home of 19th century tourist towns of Thomas / Davis / and Canaan Valley.
\--> The Dryfork and Blackwater Rivers combine nearby, the pedestrian cable suspension bridge to Hendricks is less than half a mile downstream, the Fernow Experimental Forest is just a mile downstream, and the Monongahela national forest and huge unlogged forests are all around! And Brooklyn Heights Rd. is also a waterfall mecca after any decent rains including right here on the property and very nearby.
Hike, camp, swim, fish, bike tube, kayak, canoe, explore, forage, campfires, beach area fires, relax and enjoy!
\--> Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground includes 35 acres of unlogged wilderness forest with roads, trails and 2100 feet of riverfront on the Dry Fork River.
\--> The camp includes 15 camping sites (firepits, slabwood benches, parking, and future picnic tables), 5 primitive shelter cabin sites (10x\`12 lofted barn cabins with hasp for your padlock), and a 10 spacious short term RV sites near the river (RV's 30 foot or less recommended).
\--> Waterfalls, creeks, kayak drop points, swimming, tubing, hiking, fishing, and water recreation abounds.
And the nearby towns of Parsons / Thomas / Davis / and Canaan Valley provide endless entertainment nearby with cafes, breweries, a distillery, music, restaurants and coffee shops, galleries and artwork. Also two state park lodges (Blackwater Falls Lodge, Canaan Valley Lodge), a national wildlife refuge, as well as endless rails to trails hiking trails throughout the county where railroads once ran during the coal and virgin forest harvest days of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And the main street towns are still here and thriving!
