Discover Smallwood State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips
Smallwood State Park is a 984-acre recreational area nestled on the banks of Mattwoman Creek near the small town of Rison. The park was named after William Smallwood, a Revolutionary War general and, at one point, governor of Maryland. Much of the park’s allure stems from wooded hiking and biking trails, lovely playgrounds, and bright, sunny beaches. These features make the park a great location for family getaways, couples on a honeymoon, fishing, and camping.

Getting Outdoors
If fly fishing is a hobby of yours, then you'll be glad to hear that both shoreline and piers of Smallwood State Park are prime fishing spots. All you need to do is bring your gear or purchase it at the camp store, pick an ideal spot, and wait until either catfish, largemouth bass, perch, or carp take the bait. If you're a seasoned angler, you might want to add a little competition to the mix and participate in one of the bass tournaments hosted by Smallwood.
Camping at Smallwood State Park
There are over a dozen RV-friendly sites where you can set up camp at Smallwood State Park. The sites at the Family Circle Campground accommodate RVs up to 30 feet long. The sites have electric hookups and picnic tables along with other RV camping amenities that guests will find useful. You'll have access to water, fire rings, restrooms, showers, and a lantern post.
Exploring the Area

Exactly as advertised and so comfortable for a long weekend in West Virginia! The van was easy to drive and the backup camera made it easy to park as well. The bed is comfortable, but be aware that it's not full length -- I'm 5'7" and opted to sleep diagonally so I could stretch out fully, but north-south would have worked as well. The composting toilet was easy to use and didn't smell at all. I had more than enough power and water for three days even though I didn't get any sun to charge the batteries with. The interior is in great condition. Would book again!

This host was very accommodating and responsive! The camper is brand new and our family made some great memories in OBX using it. It was my first time staying in a camper and it was a very enjoyable experience.

Our family had an amazing time renting Josh’s camper! The camper is extremely clean, spacious and the beds were comfortable. We can’t wait for our next adventure!
