Tucked along the Meadow River in Nallen, West Virginia, the Meadow River Glamping Tent offers a pared-down, riverside retreat: a cozy double bed for two inside a canvas tent that opens onto an outdoor deck and picnic area. The site’s design emphasizes simple comforts — a charcoal grill, outdoor sink, small refrigerator and coffee pot — and private toilet and shower facilities, while the Meadow River Rail Trail sits just outside the tent, making short hikes and bike rides an easy extension of the stay.

What the day feels like

What Staying Here Feels Like

The stay is deliberately simple: arrive at Meadow River Campground, step into a tent set up for two, and spill out onto a small deck that becomes your outdoor kitchen and living room. Mornings can be slow, with coffee on the deck and river views; days are easily spent exploring the nearby rail-trail on foot or by bike, returning to prepare a quick meal on the charcoal grill before a quiet night in the tent.
