State Fair of West Virginia Campground

West Virginia is known primarily for its coal mines though few travelers are aware of how supremely beautiful The Mountain State is. When you’re camping with an RV in scenic southern West Virginia, you can get off the beaten path and explore the smaller towns and unknown attractions to really get a sense of what the state is like.

One of West Virginia’s most popular attractions is its State Fair in Fairlea, which takes place in early August each year. This is where farmers, artisans, political parties, young, and old can all come together to celebrate the culture and history of West Virginia and its people. In the off-season, though, the fairground’s campsites are a great place to base yourself for a West Virginia adventure.

There aren’t too many amenities at this RV campground, but you will have access to full hookups when you’re RV camping at the West Virginia State Fair campground. There’s also a small playground where the kids can run around and burn off excess energy after being in the Lewisburg RV rental for too long. Camping options are somewhat limited during the summer season as the fairgrounds host events, in particular, the State Fair.

Perhaps the best thing about getting a rental motorhome near the State Fair of West Virginia Campground is its access to other attractions in the state. Charleston, the capital, is only a short drive away on Interstate 64. Hop across the border to Virginia, and you’ll be in the Shenandoah National Park. A little over an hour's drive to the west is the New River Gorge, one of West Virginia's premier outdoor recreation areas. You’ll never need to drive far when you’re camping at State Fair of West Virginia Campground.
