Welcome to Ara

Ara means pathway. We're clearing one to the kind of night outside you remember for years: a fire that crackles low, a sky thick with stars, a morning that smells like the forest.

Bring the people you love and whatever you can carry. We'll have the rest ready.

Almost Heaven

Wild and Wonderful West Virginia.

A few of the mornings and nights waiting for you, from misty pines to a sky full of stars.

Misty mornings in the pines
Lunch by the creek
Evenings that glow
Camp by the water
Wake up to the view
Nights under the stars

The Ara Difference

Comfort and wild, without the trade-off.

Most campgrounds ask you to choose between comfort and nature. We think that's a false choice, so we built a place that gives you both.
