The beauty of McCoy Lake is reason enough to stop by. McCoy Lake is a rather wet place usually with a large amount of rain; July is the wettest month with most rain while October is the month with the least amount of precipitation. Microtel Inn and Suites Bridgeport is a good location to get some rest, and Big Run is near McCoy Lake and is always a diversion to stop by. This lake is so wonderful. If you come at the right time of year, Buckhannon River offers

In the 1939's my grandfather built the first cabin on Rock Lake. He built a log cabin form the trees cut down to form the lake. The cabin was called Shamrock Shanty. I caught my first at Rock Lake and learned how to row a boat. The cabin has been torn down, but I will never forget the good times my family had there....

Stuart Recreation Area - Monongahela National Forest
 | 19 miles away
Out of all the WV and Ohio State Parks I have vacationed at. Stuart's is the best. Stuart's is a very clean state of the art camping facility. My favorite part of Stuarts was the fact there was gravel at every campsite so on those rainy days you were not fighting mud! I camp here at least 2 or three times a year and will come back here every year!... |

...nd Bonnie Branciaroli decided to take 30 acres of their farm and develop it into an overnight retreat to be shared by tenters and RV owners alike.
The campground is nestled between two mountain chains in the center of the Tygart Valley, bordered on one side by Chenoweth Creek (a great warm-water fishing stream!), and thousands of acres of cornfields on the other.
Although it is only two miles from downtown Elkins and just over a mile from Wal-Mart and the local laundromat, it is completely isolated and very, very quiet. You can see every star in the sky on a clear night.
Facilities include: 10 roomy full hook-up sites (with 50 amp electric) 7 partial hook-up sites and twenty acres for rustic tent camping
The large and very clean Bath House is one of the best in the state! We have received rave reviews about it.
The Pegasus Farm is a working farm. We offer fields of Sunflowers, vegetable gardens, a grass maze to walk and birdwatch. There is also a pond for fishing. Our two horses, Gracie and her son, Pegasus, graze the fields daily.
