Crossing the Buckhannon River, camp goers find themselves enveloped in a rich, green valley surrounded by southern Upshur County woodlands.
Nestled along the right fork of the Buckhannon River, the 76-acre Upshur County Youth Camp is poised to accommodate a wide variety of events for youth and adult groups both large and small.
The picturesque camp houses 5 large dormitory-style residence halls, smaller cabins, a picnic shelter, a community dining room and an all-purpose assembly hall, which are available year-round. In addition, a swimming pool, outdoor cooking station, basketball court, fire ring, gaga pit and wide-open green spaces are available for day use as well as weeklong stays.
The picturesque camp houses 5 large dormitory style residence halls, and a few small cabins. Bunk beds are included in all dorms and cabins.
4 of the 5 larger cabins include central heat and air as well as share two shower houses.
The large cafeteria can hold up to ### people and houses a commercial kitchen. During the summer, the kitchen is staffed with a wonderful staff that makes delicious meals! This building is also air conditioned.
The beautiful wooden floors make the Assembly Hall the center of the camp. With a built in stage and chairs for your audience, the hall can be used for whatever you may need it for. This all-purpose building includes window air conditioners and two restrooms.
The pool backs up to the Buckhannon River and has a great view of the entire camp. The pool house includes changing rooms as well as comfortable (and colorful!) seating while watching those swimming enjoy two diving boards and the warm summer water.
Find yourself under the pavilion enjoying the breeze while socializing with those around you. This area features picnic tables, two restrooms, a volleyball court, basketball court, gaga pit and more! Conveniently located by the river stocked with plenty of fish, a picturesque dam, and wide open green space!
A short walk up the path is a campfire and council circle with plenty of bench seating for your camp. On any given night, you may hear the echo of a "How-How" across the way or witness the twinkling of stars in a clear moonless sky. Memories are made here.
Take the time to enjoy our picturesque setting while enjoying some time in the woods. Several trails take you on a peaceful nature walk to reconnect with the environment around you.

With wide open green space, we are the perfect camp for sport camps, band camps, and so much more! We often have lines painted on our fields for those Friday night light training sessions! We even have a band stand to put you XX feet in the air to see formations from above!
The Upshur County Youth Camp is operated by its own administrative board and director, with the assistance of the Upshur County Commission.
The camp is open to all individuals and groups regardless of race, color, or origin.
