Coopers Rock State Forest

Discover the natural wonders of West Virginia in this expansive forest.

Coopers Rock State Forest has amazing overlooks, historical sites, and picnic areas, plus 50 miles of hiking and biking trails. Many visitors love to go biking, fishing, hiking, rock climbing, camping, and ziplining while they are here. You can even go cross-country skiing or ice fishing in the winter. There are several places to camp if you want to extend your stay. The McCollum campground has 25 sites featuring electric hookups, a central bathhouse with showers, a laundry area, and water faucets. RVs, trailers, 5th wheels, tents, and truck or van camping are available. 

The Rhododendron Campground is named after the State's official flower, and it features 25 primitive campsites (ideal for tent or hammock campers), each with its own picnic table and fire pit. This camp area has a central bathroom with flushing toilets and running water for campground guests. Coopers Rock State Forest also has hike-in Tentrr campsites deep into the forest. These come with a pre-set canvas tent on a wooden deck platform. Each tent has a queen-size mattress, tables, a propane tent heater, a picnic table, a fire pit, a grill, and a solar shower. Enjoy an incredible camping trip at this 12,000+ acre forest in West Virginia.
