Camp Creek State Park, State park in Mercer County, West Virginia, United States
Camp Creek State Park is a forest reserve in West Virginia covering 550 acres with hiking trails, two waterfalls, and seven miles of trout streams flowing through the grounds. The land supports a mix of recreational activities in a single location.
The area was established as a public park in 1987 when the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources separated it from a larger forest tract. This action created a dedicated recreation space managed for both visitor use and conservation.
The park contains multiple forest types and streamside habitats that support diverse plant and animal life across the landscape. You can observe how these different zones create distinct environments where you might spot deer, birds, and other wildlife during your visit.
The park is easily reached from Interstate 77 Exit 20, with several campgrounds offering year-round facilities and services. Before visiting, check trail and water conditions as these change with the seasons.
The Pack It In - Pack It Out Campground requires a two-mile trek on Almost Heaven Road and offers the most remote camping experience in the park. This isolated setting appeals to those seeking solitude away from developed areas.
