Exhibition Coal Mine Campground

The Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine offers an engaging, well-preserved look at coal mining with an underground tour, museum exhibits, and restored buildings. Tour guides—many of whom are former miners—are consistently described as knowledgeable, personal, and good at connecting with children and adults. Families can expect a hands-on, educational visit that often takes 2–2.5 hours; admission is generally regarded as fair. Practical notes: tours typically begin on the hour, the mine train is narrow (may be tight for those with knee issues), and a light jacket is useful underground. Grounds and the gift shop are well kept.
