We're going to the New River Gorge in West Virginia for whitewater rafting and would like to know where the best place for tent camping is and what is a "Do Not Miss" sight/to do while we're there? We will not be hiking in as I have my 11 year old going with us. Many thanks to you for helping us.

Are there any websites or guides that rate US campgrounds for tent camping?

Lepke

It seems like a number of websites and guides are aimed at RVs. Does anyone know of any guides or websites that rate campgrounds (state parks AND privately owned) from the perspective of a tent camper. I don't know if it makes any difference but I am especially interested in the Eastern United States. Thanks.

Answer
"The Best in Tent Camping: A Guide for Car Campers Who Hate RVs, Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos" series has editions for several Eastern regions.

Q. I am planning on traveling from texas to virginia with my college friends
I dont think it is good idea to stay at rest area in highway even i am male and all my friends are male.
The airport lobby seems to be the safest place, but I might get ticket from them!

Is there any place to sleep safe and cheap in any states besides hotel or inn?

Answer
Get a tent a sleep in camping grounds. There are many around the country.

What would be some cool things to do for a weekend?

We had planned to do some ATV and dirt-bike riding in West Virginia but turns out 21 isn't old enough to rent one of their dirt-bikes. So we are thinking of other things to do. I wouldn't mind doing some white water rafting again, but only of there isn't anything else appealing enough to do. There's also sky diving, but that's very brief and expensive. Bungee jumping, same thing really. This is a Birthday present for a friend, so board games need not apply. Thanks.
Hey cope, thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, neither one of us are into fishing much. Probably not looking to relax, looking for something on the aggressive or extreme side. Camping or hiking is fun to do with the family, but we need something....dangerous. You know us young folk, think we're bullet proof and like to scare the elderly etc...

Answer
How about a long canoeing weekend? Take a tent, and camp along the river wherever you like. Try to "rough it" and live off the land as much as possible.Surely there are National Forests there that are large enough to do this?

Do they have organized hunts for boar or deer in your state? That might be adventurous, or maybe a remote fishing-lake trip?
