CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia State Parks officials announced that members of the public are invited to attend an open house to celebrate the opening of Slabtown Campground at Cass Scenic Railroad State Park. The open house celebrating the milestone is scheduled for Sept. 16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Located close to the Greenbrier River and Greenbrier River Trail, the new campground has 100 campsites, a camp store, bathhouses and a laundry facility. The campground offers select sites for equestrian campers. These sites are conveniently located and come equipped with corrals and plenty of space for camping.
