Town Creek Hiker-Biker Overnight (HBO) Campsite

The Town Creek Hiker-Biker Overnight site offers a peaceful, no-frills retreat for travelers seeking a simple connection with nature. Managed by the USFS, this federal campground is an ideal stopover for those traversing the region who appreciate the quiet solitude of West Virginia’s backcountry. Because it is a free, primitive site, it provides a perfect, low-cost basecamp for those looking to disconnect and enjoy the outdoors under the canopy of the forest.

The site is specifically designed to support tent and car campers, providing essential amenities including picnic tables and grills for evening meals. Each site is equipped with a chemical toilet for convenience. While the area offers a rustic experience, visitors should be well-prepared; potable water is not guaranteed at the site and must be treated with iodine or other purification methods. Please note that water services are turned off seasonally from November 15 to April 15.

This campground is best suited for independent hikers, cyclists, and tent campers who are self-sufficient and comfortable with primitive camping conditions. With a strict one-night stay limit per trip, it is designed to facilitate quick, restful stops for those traveling through the area. Whether you are seeking a brief respite or an overnight wilderness experience, Town Creek provides a reliable, accessible location for your journey.
