If you long to indulge in some primitive camping far from the usual crowded campgrounds, this delightfully secluded private campground could be just what you need. The Gauley River Wild and Woolly Primitive Campground is located on the privately owned Tawney Farm and at most times of the year you can set up camp in total solitude. Although the campsite is primitive, the owners supply a portable toilet and even an outdoor hot water shower where you can freshen up after a long day of exploring the beautiful river gorge along a selection of nature trails. Your campsite is equipped with a campfire grill and firewood. To make it even easier, you can just bring your sleeping bags and rent a comfortable large tent with four airbeds on site.
