I don't know about "currently popular" but one of the larger "camps" at WVA has their own Carp Camp website. If you click on "homework" over at the lower left of the page you can see what's being "assigned for learing" currently within this group. I understand that they apply "discipline" to those who come to sessions without doing the homework.
Most "collecting" sites just have too many songs to sort out what's "current." While the selection here is pretty specific to the small group of a few hundred subjects of "King Dave" the idea of a site for local groups, with appropriate (if not dearly loved) music lists, does have some appeal.
For Reference Only: Don Shorock's Virtual Winfield site offers a map of the campground for the WVA annual Acoustic Music festival. Click a colored patch to go to a detail map showing some groups who usually camp there. Many have websites with varied kinds of info – some of it even musically realted.
(The above "Carp Camp" is in the "green" patch top center.)
Don's Audio Winfield has some sound samples from a few years back, made during a "camp-hopping" walkthrough of the campgrounds.
