Renting a trailer in Parsons
Parsons became the Tucker County seat in 1893 and sits at the head of the Cheat River, where U.S. 219 meets Route 72. Its Tucker County Courthouse, built between 1898 and 1900, still anchors downtown, and the local economy has shifted from natural resources toward tourism. Visitors arrive for a bluegrass festival on the Shavers Fork, a county fair at Camp Kidd and a spring river triathlon at Mill Race Park, and each of those draws more people than a small riverside city's permanent restrooms were built for.
Ask the Tucker County Floodplain Administration whether the exact parcel is within or near a Special Flood Hazard Area, and confirm festival or fair dates with the organizers, since 2026 dates for Pickin' in Parsons were not confirmed.
Who to ask about permits in Parsons
The Tucker County Commission's floodplain page is the clearest published guide for Parsons. It says development within a town, Parsons included, is permitted through that town, while sites outside a municipality go through the County Planner Office. Where a site is within or near a Special Flood Hazard Area, the county floodplain ordinance applies on top of that. A Parsons rule written specifically for temporary restroom or shower trailers could not be found, so the city and the county floodplain office are the places to confirm.
- Tucker County Floodplain Administration is based in Parsons and posts a development permit application online.
- Sites outside any town, including the Canaan Valley Zoning District, go to the County Planner Office.

Lessons from the November 1985 crest
On November 5, 1985 the Cheat River crested at 24.3 feet, more than eight feet above flood stage. The West Virginia Encyclopedia reports that over 90 percent of local businesses and hundreds of homes were damaged or destroyed, and the federal government later bought and demolished about 40 floodplain houses. That history is why the county's floodplain ordinance matters to anyone staging equipment near the water. For a rental that will sit for weeks, ask the Floodplain Administration about the specific parcel, keep the unit on the highest ground the site allows, and agree on a plan for moving it if heavy rain is forecast upstream.
Mill Race Park on triathlon day
The Parsons VFD Cheat River Triathlon, listed for Saturday, May 16 in 2026, starts and finishes at Mill Race Park. Solo and relay teams run 3.9 miles to Hendricks Park, bike 7 miles out and back, and paddle at least 3 miles back to the park, with life jackets, helmets and whistles required. A 2K walk uses the park's walking track and the same finish line. Because everyone converges on one finish area, organizers planning restroom or rinse-off capacity should settle the spot with the race committee and the city before race week.
Corridor H and long-term site needs
The Parsons to Davis section of Corridor H has no final route yet. A 2025 report said the choice between the revised original preferred alternative and the Go North route was expected in 2026, with construction starting in 2027. Nothing is built or staged yet, so no crew sites can be named. If work does begin, long-duration jobs of this kind are where leasing a restroom trailer, rather than short-term rental, tends to make sense. Contractors would still need permits through the county or the state highway process.
What Parsons sites rent trailers for
Fair week at Camp Kidd
The fair opens on a Monday and finishes the following Saturday, with livestock shows, nightly carnival rides, a mud bog on the upper field and a livestock sale. Exhibitors and 4-H families spend full days on the grounds, so showers matter.
Race day at Mill Race Park
Paddlers finishing the Cheat River Triathlon return to the park, where a restroom and rinse-off option helps. The same park and its walking track also host a 2K walk and summer community events.

Questions people ask before renting in Parsons
Which office do I ask about a trailer at Camp Kidd, which is outside Parsons proper?
The county commission page sends development outside a municipality to the County Planner Office, while development inside Parsons goes through the city. Camp Kidd is described as just outside Parsons, so confirm with the county first, and get the fair organizers' approval for the exact spot on the grounds.
Does flood risk affect where a trailer can go along the Shavers Fork or Cheat River?
It can. The county says its floodplain ordinance applies to development within or near a Special Flood Hazard Area, so ask the Floodplain Administration whether a riverside spot is mapped. A site on higher ground avoids the question entirely.
Can a rented trailer cover a multi-day festival like Pickin' in Parsons?
Pickin' in Parsons ran about five days in 2025, so a combination shower and restroom trailer, or two units, is a practical way to add capacity. Five River Campground and the festival promoters decide what goes on the grounds, so clear placement with them before booking.
