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?

Hop on (HUH?), rev up (WHAT?!), and take a trip (I can't HEAR YOU!) deep into the hillbilly heart of West Virginia, where gas-huffin' ATV motorheads churn through the Hatfield-McCoy Recreation Area—a private preserve devoted to the joys and sorrows of four-wheeling. (ARRRRGHHH!)
West on the National Road

It's only 128 miles from Cumberland, Maryland, to Wheeling, West Virginia, but this route along the country's first Interstate traverses a surprising cross-section of American history.
