Devil's Backbone Adventure Resort

Devil’s Backbone Adventure Resort sits in the Red Jacket/Matewan area and is positioned directly on Hatfield‑McCoy Trail 59, offering ride‑in/ride‑out access for ATVs, SxS and dirt bikes. The property includes cabins, deluxe tents, RV pads, pools, a tavern, company store and an on‑site gas station.

Expect a trail-focused basecamp: the resort sells trail permits, provides ATV washes and supplies, and connects to nearby Buffalo Mountain and Rock House trail systems. Seasonal amenities (pools, Tipple Tavern) vary, so check the resort site or PDFs for current opening schedules and rules.

This is a working trail resort built for off‑road riders and groups, with lodging types from one‑bedroom cabins to a large Heliport Lodge, plus RV hookups and primitive camping.

Look out for:

• Direct access to Hatfield‑McCoy Trail System — Devil Anse Trail 59 (ride‑in/ride‑out).

• On‑site trail permit sales and a Backbone Company Store for gear and supplies.

• Two inground pools (typically open Memorial Day–Labor Day) and poolside Trail 59 Grill.

• On‑site gas station (card only), ATV wash station, bathhouses and laundry.

Best way to experience it: arrive with required trail permits and fuel plans, book lodging suitable for your party size (many cabins have hot tubs), and use the resort as a base for multiple trail loops and evening meals at Tipple Tavern or Trail 59 Grill.

• The resort is an authorized Hatfield‑McCoy Trail permit dealer; riders and passengers must have permits.

• Pools and some dining facilities are seasonal; Tipple Tavern may close in the off‑season.

• On‑site gas is card‑only and offers non‑ethanol and premium grades.

• Check the resort's driving directions PDF and rules before arrival for gate/entrance details.
