ScoutPerfect Location
Perfect place to stay. Host are wonderful!!
ScoutMemorial Day weekend
We loved this campground. Very central location to everything. Super dog friendly, clean bathrooms, and everyone who works there were great. We loved our site plenty of space and were not on top of our neighbors.
ScoutBeautiful and clean
Dave and Kim are great people, have a beautiful and well cared for campground very close to the Gauley River.
ScoutThe Best Place to Camp in WV!
I’m 42 yrs old and I’ve been camping at Summersville Lake since shortly after I was given birth too( no joke)! Therefore I’ve been camping at Summersville for my whole life! The camping is perfect, the lake is gorgeous, and the memories we’ve made over all these years can never be forgotten! It’s without a doubt a place to enjoy yourself and the amenities are top notch! Just thinking about it, makes me want to pack up and go!
Scout1st Time at Summersville
First time at Summersville to camp. Great atmosphere and good amenities. Camp sites spread out enough to where campers are not directly on top of each other. However, their guest policy is a little annoying, have to register them in before 8 pm and not able to pay for your guests in the morning if the guests arrive late (my guests were going to come and probably not stay the night, but there was a chance that they could stay).
ScoutOther campgrounds have more to offer
Nice and quiet but no amenities. The bathrooms weren’t in any where close to great shape. The sites are pretty close. The staff is really nice though.
LegendGreat private campground
This place is an awesome private campground with the exception of hills & roots in their camping spots. It's to be expected since you are in the hills. Their bathrooms & showers are cleaned and well maintained. They have an outdoor sink to wash dishes. RV camping as well. A great playground too for the kids. Just bring hammocks or extra padding to sleep. Super friendly and quiet place. Summersville is a pretty lake. Fayetteville is close & a really cute town. Bridge Day happens at a near bye bridge over the New River.
