Whatever your interests, West Virginia has an attraction for you. Check out just three of the many places that you can enjoy in your RV rental in WV.
 

Prabhupada's Palace of Gold

Tourists are welcome to visit this attraction, featuring glittery temples and deities that were created by a Hare Krishna community. Perched on a secluded hilltop in West Virginia, the Palace of Gold has the feel of a great, glittery treasure ship that somehow drifted off the set of a Bollywood production. This palace is fit for a Rajah, which showcases crystal chandeliers, marble floors, stained glass windows and mirrored ceilings. It is a completely unexpected but wonderfully incredible place to visit as you make your way around West Virginia. Check this fantastic place in your camper rental in WV.
 

Mummies of the Insane

In 1888, farmer and amateur scientist Graham Hamrick bought two female cadavers to the West Virginia Hospital, and mummified them with his patented embalming potion. Hamrick succeeded in his efforts and the well-dried fruits of his labor are still in Philippi. Two mummies, in glass-topped wooden coffins, are displayed in the Barbour County Historical Museum bathroom.
 

Mothman Statue

The Mothman Statue was created based on the legend, myth and prophecy that abound the town of Point Pleasant during the 60’s. It is located in Mothman Park which used to be known as the Gunn Park. The statue was created by artist and sculptor Bob Roach, and is made of stainless steel. It is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Point Pleasant.
