Our home is nestled on approximately 200 acres in Clifftop WV. Bordering the back of Babcock State Park, we are just 5 minutes from the park entrance. There are a number of other New River Gorge National Park landmarks within driving distance including the New River Gorge Bridge (18 min), the Kaymore Miner's Trailhead (28min), and the abandoned coal town of Nuttleburg (30 min). We are also centrally located between Fayetteville (21 min) and Summersville (31 min) both of which have a excellent dinning and outdoor recreation. Our land is largely undeveloped with our operational family sawmill business bordering the road. We invite guests to hike around the property which offers trails, ponds, and cliffs. Our vision is to build an agroforesty practice including a chestnut orchard, apiary, livestock, and plant nursery to provide timber and non-timber forest products.

Gentle Climb Trail

This place was a great stay for my first time tent camping! The main road was far enough away that I couldn’t hear cars, only big trucks occasionally. We were the only ones there at the time which made the trip incredible. If you camp at camp 1, there’s wood and a fireplace provided for you which I thought was a nice touch. The camp is pretty close to Babcock state park too. Would definitely come back!

Gravel Pad At Entrance

Almost Heaven

My husband, toddler and I stayed a long weekend at Kat’s place. We wanted to be close to Babcock State Park and the Gorge. Her spot was literally right next door to Babcock and a comfortable drive to the Gorge. We also visited a local ice cream joint and a brewery as well as Sandstone Falls. There are many gas stations in close proximity to Kat’s place. There was also a natural spring right up the road that caught our attention. The spot had great stargazing views and was completely surrounded by trees, making it feel private and secluded. You can hear traffic from the road, but you can’t see it from the gravel pad. What you get is what you see in the photos. We parked our 27 foot camper on the gravel pad and had plenty of room. The pad is not perfectly level, but if you have proper levelers, you’ll be fine. I recommend bringing an all-weather mat to put outside of your door as you’ll be parking on driveway rocks and dirt. We were greeted on our first night there and were given information from Kat and her husband regarding their property and the surrounding areas. They were generous hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. We felt safe and welcome the entirety of our stay. If ever we decide to go back to that area, we will be returning to Kat’s place!

Gravel Pad by Main Road

As advertised- barebones camp site with no water, toilets, or amenities. Camp sites are well spaced so you do not hear your neighbors. Close proximity to NRG. Kathleen was communicative and flexible. As an added bonus of being on a saw mill, the owners provided logs and a pile of scrap wood to burn in our chimenea
