Planning the Adventure

This adventure was part of the Coalfield Waterfalls Roadtrip.

This park is within somewhat close proximity to Twin Falls and Itmann Company Store.

However, it’s pretty close to Pipestem. Make the trek up the mountain; it’s right there!

Arriving the Destination

Just off the interstate; Camp Creek may be the easiest accessible State Park around. The road to Camp Creek runs parallel to I-77. Let all those cars zoom past; we’re going somewhere special.

A Quiet Place

This is a super quiet and peaceful park. Other than seeing a few road construction crew on the way in; we didn’t see a soul here. I’d love to spend more time here! Primitive camping spots begin @$25 /night.

Primitive and Peaceful

Some parks are super busy;

• New River Gorge Bridge National Park
• Harper’s Ferry State Park
• Blackwater Falls State Park

I’d place New River Gorge Bridge at the very top of a “WV Busy List”.

Then there’s the quiet serene parks like these. They’re quite a treasure. Camp Creek may top the quiet list!

Mash Fork Falls

As the name suggests Mash Fork may have had a history with early Appalachian Moonshiners.

Mercer County Memories: Bootlegger memories

Due to lack of rain: The waterfall was lacking. Our entire state needs rain.

We enjoyed climbing and meandering  behind the falls. Enjoying the creek.

Is Camp Creek State Park handicap accessible?

You can see the falls from the car!

The spot to get to Mash Fork Falls is very handicap accessible. Wide spots for parking. Pavement leading to the falls. Benches and proper seating.

Is Camp Creek State Park good for kids and dogs?

Of course! Kids and Dogs will enjoy the day on the trails.
