Property was owned by my great grandfather , He lost 150 acres in the early 1900's due to a bad debt from neighboring landowner. Was so happy to be able to repurchase the 150 acres back in 2016,now own the original land tract and added more. 250 acres in total. Portions were strip mined around 1978-1982 creating some flat fields and access to all property. I might add that strip mining if done properly can and does enhance the property. Ponds were built to catch runoff and several new animal species moved in waterfowl ,muskrats, and beavers. The beavers have constructed large dams on property further adding to the beauty. Have seen several bald eagles on and around the property. Mountainous area close to national forests,whitewater,trout fishing, Has 6 large ponds in campground ,plenty of spectacular views and wildlife. enjoy sharing the land I love so much. Just minutes away from Cranberry back country ,Cranberry glades, Hillscreek falls and the highland scenic highway. 8 miles off of route 19 where you can enjoy Summersville Lake and Gauley River Whitewater. Just a few miles on down the road to the New River Gorge, where on an October day guests from around the world come to jump off a perfectly good bridge, with parachutes attached of course. To many mountain streams to list all, where I myself enjoy fishing for our state fish Native brook trout. Cell service is sketchy in places, which I consider a plus if you want to enjoy all the beauty. My friend Rick Greene will take you and your family via mules and wagon to trout fish the Cranberry River, where no motor vehicles are permitted. Access only on foot, bike or horse. By appointment at cranberryadventures.com . Numerous walking trails and ATV trails. The Williams, Elk and Cranberry rivers are some of the best trout streams in the eastern U.S.

One night in Calvin
The site itself was nice. Fairly level gravel spot, easy to back into, power and water readily available. Quiet, no frills. Was great for what I needed.

We found fall and relaxation
We went searching for fall and found a gem of a man lace to stay! If you blink you will miss the sign and entrance IMMEDIATELY after it before the small post office. It is find your own site but we were given a great recommendation for where to go so our pup could have his own space. Amazing views, full hookups, super easy to navigate with our 21 foot RV. It is definitely off the beaten track a bit, the driveway alone will make you question if you are in the right spot initially (drive to the left of the water when heading in, but it ended up being exactly our kind of spot. 45 mins to the gorge, roughly the same to Babcock (you really must do both). We will absolutely stay again if/when we decide to visit WV. John was a great host!

Nice place to spend a night. Communication via app wasn’t the greatest, but in person communication was great. John was very friendly.
