Campground Boulders is a bouldering area in Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits within the forest's network of climbing and hiking routes, so it works well as a stop in a day of exploring the surrounding trails and boulders. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes spread across the V0 to V6 range. The easiest is Trailside Overhang at V0, and the hardest is Ironclad at V6. The median grade is V4, so climbers can expect a mix of easier and more challenging problems on a single outing. Fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Morgantown run to highs around 77°F in September and 66°F in October, with fewer wet days than the rest of the year. That station sits well below the forest, so temperatures on the boulders run cooler. The closest trails are McCollum Trail and Nature Loop Trail, each about 0.2 miles away. Bowsprit Boulders is about 0.3 miles off, and Coopers Rock State Forest is about 0.5 miles away.
