What campers say

Battle Run Campground is a well‑kept, family‑friendly lakeside park with many sites that offer water views if you book early. Visitors praise the scenery, beach and easy lake access for kayaking, fishing and swimming, plus playgrounds, sports areas and a clean bathhouse. Staff are generally described as friendly and the grounds are patrolled. Practical tradeoffs: site utility options vary—many sites have electric only and some reviewers say water/sewer hookups aren’t available—so check before you go. A few guests report inconsistent enforcement of the no‑pet rule and occasional unsupervised children or rowdy behavior.

📖 About This Campground

Battle Run Campground is conveniently located just south of Summersville, West Virginia, on the shores of the largest lake in the state. Superb water quality and sheer sandstone cliffs make Summersville Lake a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. This large waterfront campground offers 110 campsites with electric hookups, along with seven primitive walk-to tent sites. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water, laundry facilities and a dump station. An accessible boat ramp and fishing dock are on-site. Younger campers love the park's playground, nature trails, and large shade trees. Scenic Summersville Lake is known for its striking cliffs and quiet coves along 60 beautiful miles of shoreline. Dense forests of maple, oak, hickory, beech and birch trees cover the region. Wildlife, including black bear, deer, grouse and turkey, is abundant in the area. The 2790-acre lake provides excellent boating, water skiing, swimming, and scuba diving. Anglers will find large and smallmouth bass, walleye, panfish, and catfish. Trout are stocked below the dam in spring and fall. Visitors also enjoy the great hiking, biking, hunting, geocaching, and picnicking opportunities on the lands surrounding the lake. For high adventure seekers, whitewater rafting is available year-round on the world class Gauley River. The Summersville Lake area also offers technical rock climbing.
