Camp Creek State Park


We’re in West Virginia staying at Camp Creek. This is an excellent state park where we have full hook-ups (one of the few times we’ve had that the whole trip) plus wifi and a great view.

I’m trying to figure out if there is a different phrase between babbling brook and roaring river. Perhaps a chuckling creek? Anyhow, the creeks here are full of rapids and falls. More than babbling but only roaring at a couple of the waterfalls in our park. Just by our bedroom is a little creek with several small waterfalls. Very restful! 

My morning hike was exciting. The Piney Ridge Trail is only 1.5 miles but rated Most Difficult. It’s a lot of elevation change. The trail isn’t in great shape with trees down in several locations. The trail is difficult to find since leaves cover everything. At least there are lots of signs to keep you on the trail. I “only” got lost on the trail twice. I did see three deer though.

John and I walked from the campground to two different waterfalls. This one was on Camp Creek.

While this one was on Mash Fork.

I wanted to mention that taking a hike or just a walk around the campground can be quite interesting. We get into a discussion with other campers from around the country with all types of stories. Just another perk of traveling!
