Camp Creek State Park in West Virginia, USA - map and visitor information

Research checked: 2026-11-01. Check linked official notices before travel.

Camp Creek State Park and Forest combines waterfalls, woodland trails and camping in southern West Virginia. The park and adjoining forest cover nearly 6,000 acres. Check the road approach before traveling.

Explore waterfalls without committing to a long loop

The trail network totals about 35 miles. Bear Wallow provides a 0.6-mile loop above the falls, while the 8.7-mile Turkey Loop involves repeated stream crossings. Choose the shorter route when your group wants a brief woodland walk rather than a full trail day.

Check road access and the campsite type

Fees, hours, and seasonal access

Treat the creek crossings as a route decision

Turkey Loop crosses the creek nine times and includes another tributary ford before the bridge below Mash Fork Falls. Check water levels before committing to this route. Choose a shorter walk if water levels make the longer route unsuitable.

Distinguish state park rules from forest rules

Do not feed or harass wildlife. Dogs and cats must be leashed and restrained. Hunting and trapping are prohibited in state parks but permitted in state forests under the applicable rules, so check which land your route enters. Confine fires to designated grills or areas.

Reserve the right type of campsite

Use the official camping page for the state booking channels. The maximum stay is 14 nights. In the summer reservation period, weekend bookings require at least two consecutive nights. Check the selected site’s hookups rather than assuming all sites provide the same services.

Use the Camp Creek Road entrance

The park address is 2390 Camp Creek Road, Camp Creek, WV 25820. Read the trail descriptions and road notice before choosing a route. Bear Wallow begins above the falls and at the forest access road parking area.

Nearby West Virginia parks

Little Beaver State Park is at 1402 Grandview Road in Beaver. Pinnacle Rock State Park is reached from US 52 at 6407 Coal Heritage Road near Bramwell. These are separate road stops; check their current access before continuing.

Choose a woodland walk or a camping stay

Walk the short Bear Wallow loop or prepare for a longer trail route after checking stream conditions. Horse riders must use the Horse Bypass instead of riding through the main picnic areas. Keep waterfall viewing on established routes.

Compare Mash Fork with Blue Jay

Mash Fork has 26 tent or trailer sites and a heated bathhouse that operates year-round. Its sites have different combinations of electric, water and sewer connections. Blue Jay has 12 rustic tent sites. Camping is limited to designated, numbered sites; statewide quiet hours run from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

A park within a larger forest setting

From lumber land to public recreation

The state forest opened in 1953 on former Blue Jay Lumber Company land. In 1987, a 550-acre portion became the state park. The larger acreage used in visitor descriptions includes the surrounding forest.

A forest crossed by trout streams

Seven miles of streams are stocked seasonally with trout. That stocking description does not establish a fishing season or license exemption. The wooded stream corridors also shape the trail network and the practical limits of a walk after rain.
