Fueling Up: Gas & EV Charging Stations Details

Before heading into New River Gorge and Preserve, making sure your vehicle is fueled up is essential. The closest gas stations are in Fayetteville and Oak Hill, where travelers will find options like Exxon, Sheetz, and Shell. If you're coming from farther away, it's best to top off your tank before reaching the park, as gas stations become sparse once you leave town. Since there are no fueling stations within the park, visitors should fill up in advance, especially if planning to explore the more remote areas. Electric vehicle (EV) drivers need to plan their charging stops ahead of time. While the park itself does not have EV charging stations, a few options are available in nearby towns. The Outpost - New River Gorge Campground in Fayetteville has three charging stations, while Opossum Creek Retreat offers an on-site EV charger for its guests. Additionally, Hawks Nest State Park provides EV charging facilities for those exploring multiple scenic locations in the region. Since charging stations are limited, checking availability before your trip is recommended.
