Long Run Meadow

Description

We can offer a relatively flat meadow that is easy to back into. There is plenty of room but our house is up a long driveway not visible from this site. That is why we have no water or power to offer. We are located 3.5 miles off of US Route 50 between West Union, WV and Salem, WV. This is a quiet spot where no one will bother you or your property.

Access Road Conditions

The road into the road our house is on, is paved and wide enough to accommodate tractor trailer vehicles but it is narrow and curvy and requires care. We usually un-hook our tow vehicle at a wide spot just off of US route 50 and Nannette drives the pick-up in front to be sure there are no large vehicle that I will meet. The actual road we live on is very narrow and gravel. That being said, we take our 40 motor home in and out with out a problem, but we are used to it.

Tow Vehicle Parking Details

It would be best to un-hook a tow vehicle before driving up our road. If anyone is interested in staying here, I would give instructions that make coming to this location fairly easy. We have gotten used to turning our 40 foot motor home into our road but I would want to help someone else that has never done it. Alternatively, I would send them further up the road to an easy turn around spot to approach from a better angle.

Our meadow is solid but the upper layer of topsoil can get wet and slippery. When our first guest arrived, it had been raining for at least a month, recording a record wet September. The ground was slippery and we ended up putting their 31 foot class C on a gravel spot. A bonus for them was that it was close enough to power to run an extension cord. The meadow is big enough for a large rig but it is not near power and if it happens to be really wet again, we might have to hunt around a bit to get a 40 footer situated. Finding room for a tow vehicle is easy in comparison!

We will be traveling this winter.

Suggested Local Attractions

North Bend State Park is located about a half hour from here (it has RV camping spots). Honestly, there is not much else around here. This is not a spot to stop for entertainment. Only a quiet place to stay.
