Babcock is one of my favorite places to visit in WV. I love the Midland Trail drive, the trees, rocks, river, overlooks. Everything! I was there on 11/5/17 and was very disappointed. The overlook when u first go in was closed for the season. The road to the pond/lake, closed for the season. And the road across from the snack shop, closed for the season. Even the bathrooms were locked up. It's fall! People were everywhere taking pictures. Temp was in the 60's. What's going on? Not exactly tourist friendly.
We had a great time. Babcock State Park is one of WV best state parks to go to. Even better, if you're going to be in the area around Bridge Day near the New River Gorge (Which my grandfather was very fond of mentioning it's status as the longest single arch bridge in the world at 1700 ft for many years, it's now the fourth) you'll find plenty to do and lots of activities and places for your children to play.
I absolutely love this place! It's so beautiful! There's also a many things that you can do me here for the family and would recommend going to enjoy some nice quality time with your family while having the best views.
Very nice! They had handicap camping spots that were level and close to the showers/bathrooms/laundry, which us great for my disabled mom. Very quiet, peaceful. Bug fire pits with grill for cooking. Just wish the shower stalls had doors instead of curtains.
My family and I met here the weekend of October 14. We stayed to nights in efficiency cabins 24 & 28. Complimentary bundled of firewood and cabin had everything you'll need. Has good WiFi. Not luxurious but absolutely perfect for us. The cabins have enough room for cooking, sleeping and a nice size bathroom. Cabin 24 had two queen size bunk beds and a great 'back yard' just right for the kids. Cabin 28 had 4 twin size bunk beds and a hill out the back that was fine for adults but not little kids. Also each cabin had a screened in porch which is great for lunch and hanging out. These cabins are also very close to the playground area. The grist Mill is beautiful and lots of hiking trails. Bring all you need b/c the closest store or restaurant is about 30 min one-way. The park has larger and more luxurious cabins but we didn't stay so we'll have to report on those next time because we will definitely be back. We visited to do the sticks and stones 9 Mile trail run..whew... That was a hard one!
