Camp Rhododendron is a historic Civilian Conservation Corps camp and national historic district at Cooper's Rock State Forest near Morgantown, Monongalia County, West Virginia. Built between 1936 and 1942, the district encompasses seven contributing buildings, one structure, and two objects—including a pumphouse, Robert Fechner Monument, information booth, three pavilions, an overlook with walkway, concession stand, fire warning sign, and trail chalet. Constructed of hewn logs and sandstone, these structures exemplify the Depression-era National Park Service Rustic style characteristic of CCC work. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, and nearby stands the Cooper's Rock State Forest Superintendent's House and Garage, also built by the CCC.
