Thorn Spring Park - Franklin, West Virginia

Stephen

Quiet and peaceful campground near a creek that you can hear but don't really have access to. The bathroom and shower are clean. I never did find the office and didn't see anyone else there. They have a few cabins. I tent camped.

We camped here over the weekend for the first time. Unfortunately the ice storm over the winter did a number on all of the hemlocks in the tent camping area and most of the trees have been removed. It is a mess there right now and many of the tent sites aren't really usable at the moment, it's going to be a muddy mess if we get much rain here any time soon.

The owner is super nice and very helpful, he wasn't too thrilled with what the 4-H board had done with the storm clean up. Bathrooms where quite clean. The location was nice, and the river next to the campground would be great during warmer weather.

Once things get situated with the tent sites, we will stay here again. The main reason for the review is to let people know that if they look through the older pics of nice wooded tent sites, that they should not expect that any longer.

Awesome experience. Jeff the property manager was extremely welcoming and helpful throughout the 4 days we were here. The prices are super reasonable. Added bonus for our stay was a Motorcycle/ATV event which gave us a free DJ and free Band Friday and Saturday night. Super friendly people and well maintained property made my first time camping in my life a huge success. Mountains, Motorcycles, Camping, Caving and Rock Climbing. What a weekend!!

This place is great! We stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate a birthday with some of our friends. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the conditions were very comfortable. We had most of the park to ourselves, and the area is very quiet with very few neighbors nearby. And the price can't be beat! We will definitely be staying here again the next time we want a nice vacation in this part of West Virginia.

Super great campground and very affordable. Three of us found this little gem while riding the MABDR on our motorcycles. Definitely will come back. Jeff, who owns the place is super nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend stopping in.

Jeff was great, cabin 1 was my favorite out of 1,4,7. Weekends were busy but the weekdays were super chill. Nice camping spots for tents as well.

2nd year that Thorn Spring Park has allowed us, and assisted us in holding our motorcycle rally. Staff was easy and friendly to work with. Accommodations while basic 4h cabins were perfect for our weekend getaway and the campgrounds were well maintained and user-friendly with the shower house close by.

Terrible stay here. They had loud music playing on huge speakers late into the night. I'm writing this at 11pm, trying to sleep, with all my cabin companions also annoyed by the loud music. I thought my ears were gonna go deaf. We are rock climbers, we have to get up really early in the morning. Not really fair to all the folks staying here.
