Amenities near Cooper's Rock

Cooper's Rock is near the bustling city of Morgantown, WV. With West Virginia University, being the catalyst. The big 10 school creates a diverse culture and a wide range of activities. Shopping can be found throughout the area, downtown has an assortment of specialty, from hand crafted art to tacky university gear.

Food:
Since Morgantown is home to West Virginia University, there is an abundance of resources to fill your every need, Food, Drink, Equipment, Other? There is a wide variety of dining choices, everything from Middle-Eastern to the local brew pub. There are also plenty of grocery stores for supplies for campers. Are you lazy and cheap? (like me), well let the cornucopia of fast foods fill your belly (mostly in Sabraton of highway 7). All these resources are only 15 minutes from the rocks.
