Getting Outdoors
Although some of Cheat Lake’s 13-mile shoreline is occupied by residential housing, the majority has been left untouched and present plenty of chances to get out and about in the great outdoors.
Camping at Cheat Lake
Some of the closest campgrounds can be found just east of Cheat Lake, and not far from Coopers Rock State Forest in Maryland. Sand Springs Campground is one of the area’s most popular campgrounds, and for a good reason; its facilities are top-class. Campers here will enjoy full hookup facilities for their RV rental, an onsite swimming pool, modern washroom facilities, and even free, site-wide WiFi. This site is big rig friendly; however, make sure to call ahead of your visit as large sites are limited.
Exploring the Area
When you haven’t had your fill of the great outdoors and need more, consider taking your Morgantown camper rental to the West Virginia Botanic Gardens, which sits just ten minutes south of Cheat Lake. Encompassing 85-acres, this is one of the state’s largest public gardens and is impeccably maintained. The gardens have been carefully designed so that there is something to see no matter what time of the year you visit. Four miles of ADA-accessible boardwalks traverse the forests, formal gardens, water features, and wetlands, and make for an afternoon well spent.
