The Great Outdoors

West Virginia is a gorgeous state, and you don’t have to go far to experience it. When you book a travel trailer rental in Philippi, be sure to visit Audra State Park in Buckhannon. A heavily wooded park with the Middle Fork River slicing through it, the state park is ideal for hiking, biking, geocaching, fishing, boating, and swimming. You can even bring your motorhome rental from Philippi and stay at the park’s modern campground.

West Virginia State Wildlife Center in Upshur County is not too far away and a great place to spend some time outdoors, especially if you love animals. This modern zoological facility showcases both native and introduced state wildlife. View woodland wildlife along an accessible 1.25-mile interpretive nature trail. There are foxes, cougars, deer, bison, turkey vultures, otters, snakes, and much more, so be sure to stop by and learn more about the area’s wildlife at the Wildlife Center.

Tygart Lake State Park sits on the shores of Tygart Lake. Situated in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, here you’ll be rewarded with some of the most spectacular views of the state when you visit. Known for its 10-mile long, 1,750-acre lake, this is a haven for scuba divers, swimmers, kayakers, boaters, anglers, water skiers, and all those who enjoy spending time on the water. Want to spend more than a day here? Be sure to check out the park’s modern partial hookup sites.

Exploring the City

The 23-room, Greek Revival house was built in 1870 and reflects the early history of West Virginia.
