Average campground. Most sites are spacious but could be better in the visual aspect. Close proximity to Tygart lake and on the river below the Dam. Price for a full hookup is ok.
Grafton city campground, is a good last go to. Usually sites available. There are always full timers. Full hook ups are a plus and price is average. Some paved road areas for young kids to ride on. There Is no bath house, and firewood not available at least not advertised as having any. Maintenance of campground is poor grass is usually high some sites are muddy,sites are close to each other, there are very dangerous “widow maker” dead limbs on multiple trees above sites! This holiday weekend half of the sites had electricity problems so they were not rented. We are here at least twice a year and in the last 4 yes not much has changed.
Hidden gem. Clean and staff is great. Plenty of stuff to explore in the local area. Grafton is located on historic US Hwy 50.
We have been here for 2 months and love it. Right on the Tygart River right at the base of the dam. Nice little playground for the kids. Nothing fancy but if you like to kayak the ramp is right there.
Robin was very nice. Lots of availability. Easily fit our 44' toy hauler. Small playground for the kids, access to a boat ramp with a little beach area for fishing. Family owned bait and tackle shop just up the road. The roads are narrow coming in and going out (one way streets) be aware. Thanks again for being able to accommodate us on short notice!
A really cool place to spend quiet time with the kiddos. Sadly their old-school metal playground equipment is slowly being removed, but the kids still like playing in the shadow of the dam. Don't expect any amenities though.
