And we need YOU! 👏

We’re looking for organizations, agencies, nonprofits, community groups and programs that serve the people of Pocahontas County to come set up and show our community what you have to offer!

Set up a table and bring whatever represents your organization best:

🎯 A game or activity
🎁 Giveaways, prizes or swag
📚 Information & community resources
❤️ Health & wellness information
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Resources for kids, teens, adults or families
🏈 Or come up with something fun of your own!

The idea is simple: our families are already coming together for Friday night football, so we’re bringing the resources to them!

✨ There is NO COST for organizations to participate!

While we offer camping at Stillwell Park throughout the summer, we typically see an increase in visitors during the fall for some of the great events happening throughout Pocahontas County.

We’re always excited to welcome Monday Lick Trail users, Greenbrier River Trail users, and event visitors to the park!

Coming up, we’re anticipating an influx of campers for the Roadkill Festival and the Hammons Family Fiddle and Banjo Contest. We’ve received several questions about camping, so we put together a flyer with all the information you need to plan your stay.

We do ask that each camper make a donation toward the park during their stay. Your donations help us with park upkeep, improvements, and future projects so we can continue providing a great place for visitors to enjoy.

Planning to stay with us? Let us know you’ll be camping at Stillwell Park and make your donation at the link below:
