This is a "dude ranch" experience, with full immersion in the Appalachian mountain lifestyle.
Stay at the beautiful Pegasus Farm in Elkins, West Virginia. This private campground offers plenty of choices: from renting an eclectic 1960s painted camper bus to bringing your own RV, pop-up, or tents. Each campsite is fully equipped with full hookups for RVs (if needed), a fire ring, and a picnic table. A new, beautiful, and full-service bathhouse with hot showers and quaint Hospitality Barn for family get-togethers add a touch of the convenient to the country atmosphere accented by views of the surrounding Appalachian Mountains, a freshwater stream, and swaying sunflower and organic vegetable gardens.
Our program includes something for everyone, with a full roster of activities and classes to choose from each day. Activities range from hiking in the nearby Stuarts and Dolly Sods National Recreation Areas to rock climbing at world-famous Seneca Rocks, as well as canoeing clean mountain rivers and caving.
In collaboration with the Augusta Heritage Cultural Arts Center in Elkins, the camp offers choices in cultural immersion activities such as bluegrass and swing music, swing dancing, felting, traditional weaving, drawing, Appalachian natural history, and even cowboy yodeling.
Environmental awareness and outdoor appreciation classes are also offered with time to do some stream surveying and fishing, Appalachian botany studies, outdoor cooking classes, and nature art.
Pegasus Farm Family Camp offers activities for the entire family, just the kids, or just the parents. You choose. We provide the fun; you provide the relaxation.
Come enjoy this uniquely remote and diverse area and learn all about our Appalachian heritage.
