Krodel Park Campground

7 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Krodel Park Campground sits within Krodel Park, a city-managed recreation area in Point Pleasant operated by Point Pleasant Parks and Recreation. The campground runs April through October and functions primarily as an RV facility, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. A small tent camping area near the entrance has no assigned site numbers. Campers simply pull onto the grass and set up where space allows.

The park's centerpiece is a lake, likely a former gravel quarry, with a paved one-mile path along the shore and picnic shelters nearby. Kayak rentals are available, and the lake is stocked for fishing. Sites are close together with no shade trees or shrubs for privacy, and the day-use area around the lake draws visitors well into the evening. Expect noise from both park traffic and a nearby road and railroad. Cell service runs one to three bars for some carriers.

Bathrooms are a consistent concern in reviews. Tent campers may find access to flush toilets limited, with porta-potties as the primary option. The fixed restrooms have been described as dim, poorly maintained, and in need of renovation. Alex M. notes the terrain around the lake is "nicely landscaped," which contrasts with the rougher condition of the facilities. Payment is cash or check only, accepted on arrival.

The campground's location makes it a functional base for visiting downtown Point Pleasant and nearby historical sites. Campers exploring camping near Point Pleasant will find few alternatives this close to town. Book early for summer weekends, as the park draws day visitors and overnight guests simultaneously.

Very hard time finding site

Pulled in late at night around 9pm, map was slightly confusing and our site number was facing the opposite direction of what you would think. The sites are very tight and hard to pull into, but thankfully someone came out and noticed us having trouble and helped us pull in.

There also was a wasp nest inside the electric box. Cash only or check is also a bit inconvenient and archaic in 2025.

But in the morning after the rain, it was a much prettier and the campground and lake really was beautiful.

Solid place if you’re not tent camping

If you tent camp they don’t allow access to the bathrooms other than a porta potty open to the public and no showers either. Kinda messed up. The fish were not biting for anyone. It’s part of a public park. The staff were excellent thought, and the price of $20 a night unbeatable. Cheapest to visit the Mothman

Overall pleasant stay

Before making reservations here, I wasn’t sure if this campground was operating because of information I found online. While making the reservation, I talked to a woman on the phone (the owner) and she said it was $25 a night for a full hookup. They only accept cash or check and you pay when you get there. I wasn’t assigned a reservation number but the owner said assured me I had a spot booked and it’s just her and her husband that work there. When I got there, I was assigned site 29. Overall, I was looking for something close to downtown Point Pleasant and this was a good fit. There is no wifi and cell service was a little spotty (I had 1-3 bars at times for cell service). There’s a park with a trail that you can walk or bike around. There’s also a fort nearby that you can check out. Even though this campground didn’t have all the bells and whistles like some of the other once’s I’ve stayed at, you can’t beat the price.

Nice park, awful bathrooms

This is a strange campground, but not a bad one. It is minutes away from downtown Point Pleasant. I had spent the afternoon exploring the town and didn't feel like driving further. There aren't many campgrounds nearby, so this place came to the rescue.

The park's main feature is a lake that looks to be artificial. Maybe an old gravel quarry? The terrain around the lake is nicely landscaped. There is a paved path along the shore, along with picnic tables and shelters. Kayak rentals are available and the lake is stocked with fish.

Most of the campground is RV focused, but I stayed at a primitive tent site. These are located closer to the entrance. There are no site numbers. Just pull your car up onto the grass and set up wherever. A few picnic tables and electrical outlets are spaced out along the road. There were a few other campers here when I visited, but there was enough room for us to maintain good separation. No shade trees or shrubs for privacy, though.

This is not a particularly quiet or restful campground. The day use area around the lake was hopping, with people coming and going well into the night. No closing time, or just not enforced? Not sure. Having so much traffic was a little uncomfortable from a safety standpoint, but nothing untoward happened while I was there. There was also quite a bit of noise from the nearby road and railroad.

The biggest problem with this campground was the bathroom. It was one of the worst I've seen. It may very well have been cleaned recently, but it was so dark and dingy that I couldn't tell. No windows and just a single bare incandescent bulb for illumination. Reminded me of a gas station toilet. The sink barely drained, the toilet barely flushed, and the urinal looked like it was about to fall off the wall. I have used vault toilets that were much, much nicer than this. I found myself wishing for one of those. Gross.

There is only one other bathroom located closer to the RV area, and this looked to be just as bad. To be clear, there are only two single occupancy men's rooms for the ENTIRE campground. Yes, there are a few porta potties scattered around as well, but this is ridiculous. This place needs to invest in better facilities.

Krondel campground

There seem to be many long term RVs here. Sites are very close together but have power, water and sewer. It was quiet the night we stayed. Nice lake and splash pool for the kids. Paved 1 mile path around the lake. Older showers/toilets could use some updating. Decent Mexican restaurant in nearby town.

Rv spots reserved and Camp tents

The coordinator / grounds guy of the park also works with the police dept. We called and spoke to him about reservations for a week for a tent spot and he was very friendly and helped us with any questions and concerns! Would recommend this spot to anyone! Fishing, camping , hiking. Beautiful Point Pleasant WV
