RV Rental Fairmont, WV

The Fairmont area provides a few smaller public parks perfect for a quick outing with children or a stroll to stretch the legs if you’ve been driving your rental RV all day. Most of the parks have large secure playground areas and paved walking and biking paths. Depending on the park, you’ll also be able to find disc golf courses, sports facilities, and mini golf. Fairmont does its best to encourage residents and visitors alike to get outside and play.

If the day(s) you happen to be cruising through the area in your Fairmont camper rental are exceptionally nice, Prickett’s Fort State Park is five miles north of the city. Prickett’s Fort originally served as a refuge during colonial times and the property features a reconstruction of what 18th-century life was like for a Virginian. Visiting the park is free but the attractions onsite do charge admission. If you’re penny-pinching this RV rental trip through here, Prickett’s free activities include hiking and biking trails that take you through the rail-trail system along the river and fishing areas.

While out in this area of West Virginia, you might as well utilize the other nearby state parks that are within a 40-minute drive of the city. Coopers Rock State Forest in Bruceton Mills and Tygart Lark State Park in Grafton offer beautiful scenery and ample motivation to get out there. Coopers Rock is known for its plethora of hiking opportunities through a mostly undisturbed forest as well as biking trails available for all skill levels. And, local outfitters provide guided rafting trips on the Cheat River. Tygart Lake sits at the base of the Allegheny Mountains and is mostly recognized for its access to Tygart Lake. If getting out on the water is most important to you, this might just be the spot to check out when passing through north-central West Virginia with your Fairmont travel trailer rental.

Being that Fairmont is a city area, you won’t be able to find much right in the downtown area. But, just outside the limits and still within Fairmont boundaries, you do have a couple overnight camping spots available to you. Swisher Hill Campground is a great option for those traveling with a Fairmont RV rental since they’re open year round. Each campsite includes full hookups for your RV, free WiFi, and access to the playground, basketball courts, and picnic areas. New to the full hookup offering scene is Sagebrush Round-Up. That’s right; they’re now able to accommodate all RVs. They also host a weekly country music show, if you’re into that sort of thing.

But, if you value a legitimate outdoors camping experience over staying right in Fairmont, Coopers Rock State Forest does have campgrounds available with electrical hookups and WiFi. Additionally, you’ll have admittance to the whole park and the bathhouse. Coopers Rock allows leashed pets too!

Fairmont is a charming city with some funky spots that are sure to draw interest. You’ll find the Telephone Museum discreetly set up in an old brick building. Very enthusiastic guides are happy to take you around the museum and share their knowledge about telephones through the years. And, furthering this antique theme, Sweet Memories Antique Mall is filled with signs, toys, and more from throughout the decades. You could say that Fairmont cherishes history.

For adults looking to casually explore the area over some tasty food and adult beverages, swing by Heston Farms should suit your needs. The 220-acre farm takes its guests through the farm life.
