About
North Bend State Park follows the North Bend Rail Trail, a 72-mile former railroad grade with tunnels and trestles through rolling farmland, alongside a small lake. Three campground loops - Cokeley and River Run for electric sites (53 total) and a separate River Run tents-only loop for the park's 23 non-electric sites - sit along the North Fork Hughes River; a lodge and cabins are also on site, not counted in the total above. The campground is open spring through fall, weather permitting.
Fees
Nightly site fees at this campground currently range from $24.99 to $44.99, per the state park reservation system (book.wvstateparks.com); the exact price depends on site type and loop. Dogs and cats are allowed in West Virginia State Parks and Forests campgrounds on a leash and must be kept restrained, per the statewide rules and regulations (wvstateparks.com/rules-and-regulations); no per-pet fee is stated. Reservations canceled 60 or more days before arrival may receive a deposit refund; cancellations made 7-60 days before arrival receive a credit toward a future stay; cancellations within 7 days of arrival are not refundable.
