Tentrr Campsites
If you enjoy the experience of tent camping but don’t want the added work of setting up a tent — or perhaps you just want something a little more upscale, discover Tentrr campsites at Blackwater Falls State Park, Cacapon Resort State Park, Coopers Rock State Forest, Hawks Nest State Park and Lost River State Park. Each site includes a pre-set canvas tent on its own wooden deck platform, a queen-size memory foam mattress, solar shower, and more. When on the reservation page, click ‘Camping’ and the date you would like to reserve a Tentrr campsite. If a site is available on your dates you’ll see the park name and Tentrr, then click View Sites for details. Tentrr options, like other overnight accommodation options, are only visible if a site(s) are available for reservation.
[Note: If the reservation page happens to default to another park, find ‘Change Destination’ at the top of the page, and then click the park name and the tab titled ‘Camping’. If a Tentree site is available to rent, it will show; if all sites are rented or not available on the dates you select, try another date. Sites only are listed if there is a site available to rent.]
