Seneca Shadows Campground

Went car camping with my dog Oct 21-23. The trees were beautiful, the stars were bright, and the hike at Seneca was perfect. It was Monday-Wednesday so the sites were pretty empty. As a solo female camper, I felt safe. Site 12 is without electric and water at the site, but there are water and outlets in the bathroom. The first two loops of camping spots are without water and electric (I believe) and the 20s+ loops had electric for sure. I have a car converter so no electric wasn’t an issue for me. Pro tip: Amazon solar yard lights were a hit. My site had tons of trees and shade which was perfect for the hot afternoon but I do regret not being able to see the stars as I drifted to sleep. The tent camping on the last loop is in a big field which maybe would’ve been cooler. I’m sure we could’ve moseyed down there for some gazing but it’s a long walk back. For the tent only spots, you have to walk a few steps from the parking lot to set up camp, but the view of Seneca is gorgeous there and the stars were insane, I’m sure. Bathrooms were cleaned daily and even had hot water! The shower is an old school push nozzle, but give it two pushes and you’ll get hot water. Site 12 is near the road but is huge and has two tent pads and picnic tables. I do regret not being closer to the bathroom, but the road traffic wasn’t bad and my dog could freely roam. I recommend getting wood from the last Kroger for cheaper bundles. If you run out, camp managers have some! $8 a bundle, 3 for $22. We will definitely be coming back in the future to explore a little more!

Amazing host. Very attentive and friendly. First come first serve sites available. Scenery is spectacular. A small western shop/motel complex nearby. Also there’s a Seneca rocks visitor centre.

This camp ground is really clean, well maintained and close to trails. We really enjoyed warm showers! It has beautiful views from some camping spots. There is only one problem. If you are a light sleeper then there is a heavy tractor-trailer traffic caring cement from near by manufactory. I could not sleep well at the camp ground #71 because it was so close to the road intersection behind the trees. We had to leave earlier after a couple of nights and went to Spruce Knob campground (totally peaceful). If you don't care about traffic noise then this is a good location. Nicely cut grass, friendly personnel, close to the convenience store and hiking trails.

We had tent site 48. It is a nice double pad tent site. We'll cared for. Pit toilets in the tent loop were clean. It's been HOT and DRY, so naturally, they stunk horrible after dinner. Definitely wouldn't stay that close to the bathroom if it's going to be 90+ out side. We were gaggisittinging out at our site. Bit'sits something you can't control. Bathrooms were clean. Hot showers over in the group site loop. (A walkable distance away or just drive over) Well cared for. Hosts drove by in the golf cart to say hi and check in, that was nice. 10/10 would go again. The stars where so bright and you can see Seneca rock from the tent section. Photos below are just from the camp ground.

Great place to camp and visit. They have lots of sites to reserve, and fire wood for purchase. There is a cool Sunrise Trail with an incredible view! Restrooms and showers were nice and clean, too! Staff we chatted with were super friendly. We will definitely be back!

I'm absolutely glad we found Seneca Shadows campground on our trip to West Virginia. We camped in lot 7, which is a first come, first serve site. This site is close to the bathhouse, clean, and spacious. We camped here in mid-June, and the songbirds in the morning were unbelievable. What a great way to wake! There are several loops to choose from in the campground. Some sites are resevable. The bathhouse was very clean and the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend this campground if in the area. We would definitely stay again!!

We had a fantastic campground experience here over the past weekend. Plenty of plots to pick from whether you’re looking for Rv, tent grounds with electric or tent grounds with no electric. Each section looked to have its own outhouse as well which I haven’t seen much of at other campgrounds. The cash pay system was very easy and straightforward, the caretakers that come around a couple times a day to check on you and ask if you need anything were wonderful and inviting, and the location has plenty of spots for a fantastic view of Seneca rocks right in the camping spaces. We stayed at a basic tent spot #50 right at the edge of one corner to the tree line that had a very short and sweet trail with a brilliant view of the rocks that took 2-3 minutes to walk. Each day there were maybe a handful of other tent camping guests but it worked since some of the spots available have so much space in-between, also considering there were around 40 spots for basic tents to choose from. Area was very well maintained and easily showed how much care is given to providing such a positive experience. I highly recommend this sight and have future plans to return.
