In Spring 2026, we invite you to join us for something different - Camp Cheat 1918. We’re hosting a filmed 5 day experience living in the very same 3-story cabin that housed The Vagabonds during their wild and rugged adventures in West Virginia. 

When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the Mountain State Overland team and shown to your room. On your first evening, we’ll enjoy drinks in the lodge living room while our table is set for dinner. Post-dinner we’ll relax by the fire indoors or enjoy the cool mountain temps creekside on the Shaver’s Fork. Each day your meals will be prepped by lodge staff and each day is a new adventure. 

For the first day, we will have a morning breakfast in the lodge dining room. After that, Rick Stowe will be working with guests on bushcraft and foraging skills in the natural environments that surround the property. We will take a mid-day break for a warm lodge lunch followed by more guided activities with Rick. We will end the day with a lodge dinner and more evening socialization.

On the second day, we will have another lodge breakfast before guides from Wesley Hodges Fly Fishing welcome you for a full day of fly fishing on the Shavers’s Fork and the Cheat Mountain Club’s privately owned ponds. There will be a break for river-side lunch (provided) and more fishing before we end our day with drinks and a lodge dinner. 

On your final day, we will have a lodge breakfast before MSO will break the guests into small groups and independently explore the back roads The Vagabonds likely drove as they passed through the area in 1918. We will have time for a road lunch and afternoon exploring before coming back to the lodge for our final dinner together.

When you depart on the final day, we will ensure you are fed with a breakfast to go!
