Where to stay for Ramp Season

Ramp Season is held on the ramp dinners and feeds through April each year.

Demand is modest and spread across small towns rather than concentrated, but it fills the limited rooms in Richwood, Elkins and Marlinton on dinner weekends. April is otherwise a soft month, so rates stay reasonable.

Summersville, Elkins, Marlinton and Lewisburg are the places travelers most often end up staying, rather than simply the nearest points on a map.

Richwood is where the event takes place, so it is the first place to look, and Summersville, Elkins and Marlinton are where visitors generally end up once it is fully booked. Demand is modest and spread across small towns rather than concentrated, but it fills the limited rooms in Richwood, Elkins and Marlinton on dinner weekends.

Rates are typically higher than they are a week or two before or after the event, and minimum stays are common. Booking early is what saves money here rather than waiting for a late deal, because there is rarely any late availability to discount.
