I'm looking for a central campground to Seneca Rocks, Dolly Sads, Cass Scenie Railroad and Blackwater Falls. Is this too much to ask for? I like Lake Sherwood Rec Area but feel it is too far south to make these day trips worthwhile. I wonder about Sturat Rec area. I should mention that I prefer flsuh toilets and a shower. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I met a wonderful woman from VA. We would like to meet in WV. I have a flat water canoe and we have no experience with white water. I enjoy canoe camping out of sight of civilization and other campers. Could you recommend places?: Near the shortest route between us, I77 and the WV Turnpike from VA to Ravenswood. Trips of varying duration - flat water? - for flexibility. No whitewater we couldn��t handle. Beautiful remote mountains, preferably a protected area. No high traffic. Back country camping. Places to safely stage vehicles unless it��s an all flat water circuit. Nearby access to shopping and a nice restaurant. Really nice, e.g., like the POV in Parkersburg, would be great. I want to surprise her with the perfect trip - with most of these criteria and few hassles so we can concentrate on each other. Are there any romantics there willing to help?
