Cranberry Campground

A popular semi-primitive campground adjacent to the Cranberry River, comprised of 30 campsites in an open setting near the water. This campground receives very high use during trout stocking from the beginning of spring through the end of June, and again in the fall from September through October. During these high use times there are usually more campers waiting than there are sites available; the centrally located Bishop Knob Campground can usually accommodate campers when no sites are available along the Cranberry or Williams River corridors. There are vault toilets, trash receptacles and a hand pump for water. At each campsite you will find a gravel parking spur, picnic table, lantern post and fire ring. Trout fishing in the adjacent Cranberry River is the main draw. A valid West Virginia State Fishing License is required, along with a National Forest stamp, a Conservation stamp and a trout stamp, and there are special Cranberry River Fishing Areas covered by the state fishing regulations. The Cranberry River is within walking distance, as is the Cranberry Wilderness, and the Cranberry Mountain Nature Center is nearby.
