Brandywine Campground

Nestled in the beautiful landscape of Southeast West Virginia at an elevation of 1,917 feet, Brandywine Campground offers a rugged, back-to-basics escape for those looking to disconnect. Managed by the US Forest Service, this federal campground provides a tranquil, year-round destination for travelers seeking a quiet retreat in the heart of the mountains. Its remote setting ensures a peaceful atmosphere, making it a true hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts.

As a primitive, first-come, first-served site, Brandywine is best suited for self-sufficient campers who enjoy a more rustic experience. There are no hookups or specific amenities listed, so visitors should arrive fully prepared with all necessary supplies for their stay. The site is accessible for RV camping, though guests should be mindful of the natural terrain and the requirement to arrive in person to claim and pay for a site.

To manage your stay, the campground utilizes the Recreation.gov Scan and Pay feature. It is highly recommended to download the mobile app before your arrival, as cellular service can be limited in this remote area. Whether you are passing through or looking for a long-term mountain getaway, Brandywine provides a simple, accessible, and cost-free basecamp for your West Virginia adventures.
