Cheat Canyon Campground

10/09/2025

Hello friends! Rare post alert. First, all of us from the campground want to thank everyone who came out to camp with us. From the bumping times at Cheat Fest to the quiet times in the Fall, this campground is a special place, and we are fortunate to be able to share it with you all.
On another note, we are going to be closed for the rest of October for a little bit of rest and to complete some projects getting us ready for the Winter. As always, you can call us at (304)329-7385 or message us on here with any questions.
Thanks again for another great year. See you next time!

Attention all whitewater enthusiasts: The Cheat Canyon is at 4.5' and will be good all weekend!. Why drive back and forth when you can camp at the put in of the canyon? The famous Cheat River Narrows is only a short drive away as well.

Even if you're not into going down the river the weather will be perfect for camping. Sites are first come first serve, bath houses are open, and it is $10 per person per night.
