MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The KOA Holiday Campground at Mylan Park near Morgantown is open for business.
General Manager Frank Witt said KOA has three levels of campgrounds- Journey, Holiday and Resort.
The Journey sites are located near highways providing a place for travelers to rest before continuing their trips. The Holiday offers camping along with a wide range of activities and the Resort is the premiere level with deluxe cabins with linen service, patio RV sites, a recreation staff, activities and group meeting space.
“The Holiday campground which we’re currently noted as with destinations, activities, and much more to do,” Witt said on WAJR’s “Talk of the Town.” “Then there is the resort which we’re not far from and continuing to push for people to come enjoy the area and the services that are offered.”
Labor Day weekend, the final weekend of summer also included the WVU home opening football game against Robert Morris and Witt said they were more than half full.
“The people coming in for Labor Day and the Mountaineer game we had over 33 campers (RVs) check in on Friday,” Witt said.” We had more than 70, so we had more than half of the campsites full.”
The campground sits on 37 of the 400 acres in Mylan Park and includes 137 RV sites, 22 Amish-built cabins, and 10 tent camping sites. The park offers utilities including WiFi, laundry, trails, and each campsite comes with a park pass allowing access to activities in the park.
“Twenty-seven of them are back-in sites and then we have pull through sites,” Witt said. “A lot of people like the pull through sites because they are easy in and easy out.”
The 22 Amish-built cabins come in a variety of styles and there two specifically dedicated to the disabled. The cabins have running water, linens, a kitchen, a fire ring/grill, and patio furniture.
“Different styles from one room efficiency, the Ozark accommodates 6 to 8 and they have a loft and a nice front porch, and then we a couple of ADA Ranchers.”
Witt said Mylan Park offers great views and a family atmosphere with an abundance of activities. Campers are also within minutes of many major attractions in the Morgantown area.
“When the baseball and girls softball is going on at night when all the lights are lit and you can hear the ting of the bat, then when the lights go out at night it’s like the “Field of Dreams’ when the lights go out one by one and the whole thing quiets down,” Witt said. ” It’s a pretty neat experience out there.”
