About this campground
Escape to two miles of riverfront wilderness in the Monongahela National Forest!
Tucked along the banks of Shavers Fork of the Cheat River in Bowden, West Virginia, Revelle’s River Resort is an action-packed, year-round mountain sanctuary. Imagine waking up to the soothing sounds of cascading water, spending your days trout fishing or tubing downstream, and relaxing in a private riverfront hot tub under the stars. Whether you are backing a 45-foot rig into a full-hookup site along the water, staying in a cozy heated cabin or Pacific yurt, or setting up camp on a shaded tent pad, this family-owned resort offers the perfect blend of rustic outdoor adventure and comfortable mountain living—just minutes from West Virginia's top ski resorts and scenic excursion trains!
