Tomlinson Run State Park is located near the top of West Virginia’s northern panhandle along the Ohio River. The park features a wide array of recreational activities including hiking, fishing, boating and swimming. With unique camping accommodations, this park is one of the best camping spots in the state. In addition to traditional campsites, Tomlinson Run’s campground includes camper cabins and yurts.
Campground:
Tomlinson Run State Park’s campground is open spring through fall, weather permitting, and has a contact station, convenience store, dump station and two bathhouses with showers and laundry facilities. The campground includes 48 traditional campsites, five camper cabins and yurts.
All campsites are suitable for tents and trailers, and include picnic tables and grills fire rings. The park also has a rustic camping area ideal for Scouts.
Camper Cabins:
Tomlinson Run State Park has five camper cabins available to rent between April-October. Four camper cabins have electricity. One camper cabin has electric and water. All camper cabins are furnished and include a picnic table and fire ring.
Yurts:
Though generally classified as a tent, the yurt is much stronger and weather-tight. Our yurts are a circular structure that consist of a durable fabric cover, tension band and a wood frame that includes a lattice wall, radial rafters, central compression ring and a framed door.
Yurt rentals are a unique offering only at Tomlinson Run and are perfect for the novice camper. You may rent a five-person yurt, complete with a cooler, a propane stove, lantern, picnic table and cookware, and one set of bunk beds. Two yurt sites are available at the park.
Shelters:
Need an area for a picnic or family get-together? The park offers four picnic shelters which can be reserved by the day for a modest fee. Otherwise, picnic shelters are available on a first-come, first served basis, so be sure to reserve in advance if you’ve got something special planned!

2 months agoMy favorite place in the world is Tomlinson Run. It got me through some pretty rough times during Covid.

9 months agoDid a little spontaneous road trip here from NE Ohio in search of the West Virginia swings. This was 1 of the 2 we found today, and they are not easy to find! So, I wanted to share where you can find the swing at this state park. If it wasn't for the kind woman at the paddle boat rentals, we may have never found it (no cell phone signal to search). The swing is located a short walk on the Jody Hulka trail. You want to park by the playground and mini golf parking lot. The Jody Hulka trail runs right along the mini golf course. After parking, you want to follow the trail left, right along the mini golf course fence. Follow that trail for probably 1/8 of a mile along the creek. You will see a stone tower, and it will be right next to that. I love that West Virginia has these. Brilliant marketing. I want to find them all now!

a week agoThe people in the office were very nice and the bathroom was very clean and the shower was hot. The pavement on the roads and the gravel or stone dust at the sites was a little rough though. Very quiet location for camping.

a year agoBeautiful campground with lots of wildlife and things to do close by. We had to work at leveling our rig on the gravel pad, but the site is perfect with deer walking through. Enjoyed a walk around the park where we saw the owl. We are looking forward to trying the pool, disc golf course, and taking in a drive-in movie. Worthwhile adventure for sure!

9 months agoA really quiet state park in the northern panhandle of West Virginia~ Was fun to walk all the trails, take a picture by the swing, and have an overall good time.
