Sites are in great shape. Campgrounds are clean. My only issue was the condition of the showers in the bathhouse. Many shower heads are damaged or broken and need attention from the parks maintenance team.

Great campground with a lot of great sites

Facilities very well maintained. Nice swimming and boating area. Beautiful water. Friendly staff.

The bath houses need improvements, A/C, better water pressure. Hire summer help to gather driftwood from the lake. This could be used for firewood by the camp guest. Build two boat docks around the camping area for the campers to dock their boats. This would help the elders to get on and off the boat. Level up the camp sites. Make it better to level up ones trailer.

For us, it was like returning back home. As child, I often visited a great aunt and uncle in the area of the campground. Our last camp outing brought back so many memories. We meet several new people and was able to share information with them about the area. We have traveled through several states, but none of the places we have seen, can compare to Summersville Lake. The workers at the campground are always so friendly and helpful. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. The lake is beautiful. Surrounded by beautiful rock formation and forests.Our children have always enjoyed camping, and we were able to camp with our older son on this trip. This was his first time out with his own camper. He shared the outing with us and several members of his police and firemen motorcycle club. Everyone enjoyed the outing and the lake.We are planning to visit the site again soon.

We loved the lot we had for the weekend We had shade and a cool breeze a view of the lake and we visited with friends and relatives And went for a boat ride

We love Battlerun and have been coming there for 34+ years. The people at the guard house are very nice. I was a little disappointed in the shower houses. They need some tile replaced and a little tlc. I realize there have been funding cuts, so Im sure that has something to do with it. I was a little confused when I saw someone with a small dog setting outside their camper. I know the no pets rule upset a lot of people, but, its a rule. There was a couple riding around the campground on a side by side holding a dog on her lap.
@Michaela8D139B · Camped on Aug 20, 2025 at Campsite #90
Everything was very good EXCEPT.i would love to bring my 6 lb schnauzer but I follow the rules and get a dog sitter. However, I get really frustrated when dogs are overlooked after its reported that someone brought one in that is not a service dog and it barked quite often. I personally do not understand why pets can not be brought. The whole idea of camping is to bring family and my pet is my family.
@PamelaS2519925 · Camped on Aug 20, 2025 at Campsite #56
We love going to the lake and staying at Battle Run Campground. We have been going there for 6 years and have never had any problems. It is peaceful, clean and fun. My only complaint is not having water hook-up.
@MistyS2233535 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #18
My favorite campground! All the staff are great and we appreciate them!
@JoeB9521197 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #82
Lake is clean, can see the bottom kayaking. Beautiful.

Battle Run Campground is a waterfront campground on the beautiful Summersville Lake. The only way to appreciate this gorgeous lake and magnificent cliffs that surround most of it is to get on the lake and see it. The cliffs are not near the campground so to see them a boat or PWC is necessary if staying here. Otherwise, traveling to a boat ramp closer to the cliffs area would be advised for kayakers, paddleboarders, etc. There is also quite a bit of outdoor recreation available not far from the campground. The campground has spacious sites situated in several loops and three conveniently situated bath houses with showers, flush toilets and laundry facilities. Drinking fountains are available in various locations. There is a very nice playground. There is a very well-maintained beach area across from the campground. No pets are allowed which allows for a peaceful camping experience. What is lacking on-site is firewood and ice. There is a Dollar General down the main road to the campground which is convenient if you have an extra vehicle to hop in and drive there.I highly recommend this campground for an excellent camping experience and access to one of the prettiest lakes at which we have ever camped.
@Celestina82D20 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #18
We love waking up to the beautiful lake. Best Summersville campground with lake access. If you come to WV you must stay at Battle Run.
@AllenF2807865 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #86
If I am camping here, am I allowed visitors that do not stay the night even if their visit puts me over the allowed amount of 8 during their visit? I never had this problem before of all the times I have camped here. Please explain!
@UtoniaTa10197D · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #69
beautiful Lake wish it was closer to home
@MelissaP752470 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #68
The camp ground was nice the bathrooms were nice and clean
@NicolePD40DEEA · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #15
Always a beautiful spot for me and my family!
@DeniseS8638623 · Camped on Jul 30, 2025 at Campsite #48
Check in was not good. After standing in line about 30 minutes or more, the young man said they had not checked out. I said its 6:15 they are required to be out at 5:30. He said sometime they just leave. I asked if he could please check. He said he had no one. The line was long for people checking in. I asked if I could check and I did and it was empty. I was told they left earlier that day. I went back to check in again and instead of allowing me to go before the line I was told to get back in line again and had to wait again. That was so frustrating. Another gentleman had experience the same thing but had to keep waiting as there was no one to check on his spot. Suggestion: At 5:30 have someone drive around to be sure they have checked out and report back to the checkin area.
@RichardN832647 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #85
Great place, we had a spot right up against the lake! Incrediably well maintained and super kid friendly and safe..... We already booked our next trip!
@CarlG8683608 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #101
My family has been camping at Battle Run since it opened when I was a child & it just continues to go downhill. Bathrooms need major updating. Grass is not mowed regularly.
@AnnaC7369977 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #68
Bathrooms always clean, sites are always nice
@ShawnC4338534 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #98
This was my first time to Battle Run in about 10 years and it was beautiful, with the following exceptions my campsite wasnt clean there were cigarettes butts everywhere and the fire pit was full of plastic trash. I picked up 15 cigarette butts. Another observation was that hardly anyone uses the overflow parking and everyone parks in the green space, I even saw someone drive through campsites to get to there site on the other side of the loop. I think the camp host should enforce no parking ion the grass.
@RayH7794737 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #47
The electric scooters regulations should be looked at a little closer. I can understand the rules and regulations for this matter. And the liability. But a lot of your customers or elderly with problems and mobility. Im 65 years old and use an electric scooter for going to the restroom and shower area only at a safe matter. A signed contract that all liability should go to the renter. Also an age limit to your distress/choice. If not an adult supervision at all time.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
