Where to Stay Near New River Gorge: ACE Family Lodging and Cost Guide
Choosing where to stay near New River Gorge starts with how your family wants to spend its vacation. Would you rather camp under the stars, arrive at a tent that’s already set up, or relax in a cabin after a day of adventure?
At ACE Adventure Resort, you can choose from camping, preset cabin tents, bunkhouses, rustic cabins, and deluxe cabins with one to three or more bedrooms. Each offers a different balance of comfort, convenience, and cost.
If you’re comparing New River Gorge National Park accommodations, this guide will help you find an option that fits your family, with starting rates to make budgeting easier.
1. Camping: Best for Families Bringing Their Own Gear
Starting at $15 per person, per night.
Camping is a great option for families who enjoy sleeping outdoors and already own the equipment they need.
ACE’s mountaintop camping areas have shower houses and restrooms nearby. Campsites include a picnic table, campfire pit, trash can, and parking spot. Primitive sites do not have electricity.
Best for: Families who enjoy traditional camping and want to leave more of their budget for adventures.
What it costs for a family of four: Starting at $60 per night, or $180 for three nights.
Bring your own gear or ask about rental options. Remember to budget for sleeping bags, cooking supplies, ice, and anything else you need for a comfortable stay.
2. Preset Cabin Tents: Best for Camping with Less Setup
Starting at $79 per night.
Want the camping experience without pitching your own tent? ACE’s safari-style cabin tents have your shelter ready when you arrive.
Cabin tents sleep up to six guests. They do not have an indoor bathroom, kitchen, or air conditioning, making them a good fit for families comfortable with a simpler outdoor stay.
Best for: Families who want to sleep outdoors without bringing and setting up their own tent.
Three-night lodging cost: Starting at $237.
Check what bedding you need to bring and where the nearest bathhouse is located. If you don’t own camping equipment, compare a preset tent with the cost of purchasing or renting your own setup.
3. Bunkhouses: Best for Larger Families and Group Trips
Starting at $136 per night for a Ranch House, $160 for a Bath & Bunkhouse, and $200 for a Woodside Bunkhouse.
Bunkhouses are worth considering when you’re bringing extended family, organizing a reunion, or traveling with several households.
Choose from:
- Ranch Houses: Sleep up to 12, with no indoor bathroom.
- Bath & Bunkhouses: Sleep up to 12 and include a bathroom.

Before reserving, review sleeping arrangements, bedding requirements, and bathroom access so everyone knows what to expect.
4. Rustic Cedar Cabins: Best for Simple Comfort
Starting at $179 per night.
Cedar Cabins offer a comfortable middle ground for families who want more amenities than camping.
These cabins sleep up to six guests and include a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a kitchenette with a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.
Best for: Families who want a private bathroom and climate-controlled accommodations while keeping their stay simple.
Three-night lodging cost: Starting at $537.
The kitchenette makes it easier to handle breakfast, snacks, and simple meals. Plan around the equipment provided rather than assuming you’ll have a full kitchen.
5. One-Bedroom Deluxe Cabins: Best for Smaller Families
Family options starting at $209 per night.
One-bedroom deluxe cabins are a good fit for families who want a comfortable place to unwind without booking a larger cabin.
Cozy Park Cabins accommodate up to six guests and include a full kitchen, private bathroom, air conditioning, and an outdoor hot tub. A full kitchen gives you the option to prepare meals instead of eating out for every breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Best for: Smaller families comfortable sharing one bedroom and using additional sleeping spaces.
Three-night lodging cost: Starting at $627.
Check the bed layout when choosing your cabin. A one-bedroom cabin can sleep more than two people, but the arrangement should work for everyone traveling.
6. Two-Bedroom Deluxe Cabins: Best for Separate Sleeping Spaces
Starting at $279 per night.
Two-bedroom cabins give families separate sleeping spaces while keeping everyone together.
ACE offers several options:
- Laurel Cabins: Starting at $279 per night, with a kitchenette, one bathroom, hot tub, and air conditioning.
- Log Cottages: Starting at $309 per night, with a kitchenette, one bathroom, hot tub, and air conditioning.
- Two-Bedroom Chalets: Starting at $419 per night, with a full kitchen, two bathrooms, hot tub, and air conditioning.

Best for: Families who want separate bedrooms for parents and children, or more privacy when traveling together.
Three-night lodging costs: Starting at $837 for a Laurel Cabin, $927 for a Log Cottage, or $1,257 for a Two-Bedroom Chalet.
Choose based on how you’ll use the space. A kitchenette may cover snacks and simple meals, while a full kitchen offers more flexibility for cooking.
7. Three-Bedroom and Larger Deluxe Cabins: Best for More Privacy and Extended Family
Starting at $449 per night.
For families who want more separate bedrooms, explore ACE’s larger cabins and log homes.
Three-bedroom Ridge View Retreats accommodate up to six guests and include a full kitchen, two bathrooms, climate control, and a hot tub. They offer more bedroom privacy without requiring a large traveling party.
Larger log homes offer additional options for extended families and multiple households vacationing together. Compare individual homes to find the right combination of bedrooms, bathrooms, and gathering spaces.
Best for: Families seeking more bedroom privacy, multigenerational vacations, and larger gatherings.
Three-night lodging cost: Starting at $1,347 for a Ridge View Retreat.
If several households are sharing the cost, divide the complete reservation total to see how it fits each family’s budget.
