The State Park system is currently considering proposals that will bring mega RV parks and private club facilities to Cacapon Resort State Park. These plans will bring 50 to 350 RV slots to mountainsides in the Park; and will create high end amenities not accessible to regular park visitors. You can read the proposals in full here. 

These plans will result in substantial earth disturbance with the permanent clearing of substantial tracks of steeply sloped, heavily forested parts of the Park; exceed the wastewater capacity of the Park; clog the narrow roads of the Park with hundreds of RVs and their noise and pollution; and negatively impact Indian Run in the Park and the Sleepy Creek watershed generally. The proposed amenities take recreation areas away from park users; and include proposals to place synthetic materials over a substantial part of a mountainside to permit year-round 'snow flex' activities.

This massive RV park and these types of private amenities are not compatible with the unique conditions of Cacapon and what we expect at WV State Parks.

Take a moment and let Charleston officials know you oppose these proposals for Cacapon. Let them know you like Cacapon the way it is - with forested, undeveloped slopes and mountain ridges.

Fill out this form to let the decision makers know that the proposals are bad for Cacapon Park – let them know that any new camping plans for Cacapon should be logistically and financial feasible!
