West Virginia’s many rustic camping spots all provide primitive getaways far from the reaches of our everyday woes. But there’s at least one rustic campground that goes a step further. Nestled just off scenic Route 50 approximately 25 miles northeast of Davis, lies a heavily forested campground with nearly a full mile of waterfront access on a picturesque valley stream.

If you've never heard of Abrams Creek Campground and Retreat Center, then you're not alone. It's the sort of secret people like to keep all to themselves, if you know what we mean.
Abrams Creek
The campground is located along Abrams Creek, where you can camp, rent a primitive cabin — or spend the night in an authentic tipi.
