New listing
Gerald Freeman Camp is nestled in the headwaters of Sutton Lake in central West Virginia, 70 miles north of Charleston. The area provides a wide variety of recreation, including boating, swimming, fishing and hiking. Anglers find plentiful bass, crappie, catfish and sunfish in the lake. The Elk River below Sutton Dam is well-known for its muskie and walleye fishing, and trout are stocked in the Downstream area. Fire roads and hunting trails in the surrounding lands provide great hiking and biking around Sutton Lake and at the nearby Elk River Wildlife Management Area. A variety of campground activities are scheduled throughout the summer for children of all ages. This large campground offers 156 campsites: 113 with electric hookups and 37 with full hookups. Boat ramps and a marina with a snack bar are located on-site. Younger visitors love the campground's playgrounds and basketball courts. Other facilities include hot showers, flush toilets, water fountains, and two trailer water / dump stations. Sutton Lake covers 1440 acres as it winds 14 miles up the Elk River, and many quiet coves can be found along its 40 miles of shoreline. The lake is surrounded by rolling hills wooded with mixed stands of oak, hickory, poplar and cherry trees, and deer, turkeys, squirrels, ruffed grouse, Canada geese and other waterfowl are abundant. The Elk River Wildlife Management Area contains nearly 18,000 acres of public hunting lands: the Elk River section consists primarily of steep hills, ridges and benches, while the Holly River section on the north side of the lake consists of forested hills and open farmlands. Additional camping is available first come, first served at Bakers Run Campground and Bee Run Primitive Campground.
