I was not pleased with this campground. To begin with, they do not allow pets, Battle Run does not have full hookup and at times it would take a few hours of waiting in line to dump your tanks. It does have a nice lake, but again, I was not pleased with this campground all in all. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We liked the campground overall but were surprised by some things too. We had a few nights with groups of people playing music late at night, to say the least the quiet hours didn't appear to be enforced. There also seems to be alot of folks that like destroying the mens toilets by either plugging them with TP or defecating on the seats, it was a nightly occurrence. We had a toilet building near our site that was lit real poorly so a flashlight was a must to check things out. Also the amount of garbage left on our site was surprising with a ton of smokers leaving butts on the ground, along with pop tabs or beer caps, etc. This park seems to be used by alot of locals with large groups of folks knowing each other. So we were surprised by the lack of chit chat we experienced in WV on previous trips. The lake was great and we even rented a boat from Summersville Lake Marina which was alot of fun. The swim area was nice, but became deep quite quick. We even swam out from our site, and life vest are a good thing to have in the deeper waters. The staff was nice and the restrooms were cleaned daily. There was a nice playground, along with horseshoes, volleyball and basketball areas. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Good campground. Campground also has 7 "walk-in" campsites that are $14 a night. Golden Age or Golden Access is $9 a night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

It was an ok campground. Mountain Lake Campgrounds, did have a pool or lake to swim in and does allow pets, but however, I was not pleased with the gravel roads. It was dusty on the dry days which made for a lot of cleaning inside the camper. I was to be relaxing, not cleaning. Also, you must travel up a sort of step hill just to get to the main office. I am not sure if I would visit this place again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Overall this is a great campground. The bathhouses are cleaned daily and were nice and roomy. We thoroughly enjoyed the lake access and the beach area. Our site backed up to the woods and we saw plenty of wild life. The primitive sites in one area were simply breathtaking. The general store was well stocked with a good variety of items. The staff in the store was not overly accommodating or particularly knowledgeable about camping but that is probably due to their young age. Our only other complaint was the lack of sewage hookups and the horrible sewage smell at night. We were told they had a cess pool but the smell at night was pretty unbearable. Other than that, a great campsite. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground has interior roads that are gravel, windy and sometimes narrow. The sites we saw were narrow and some were on an incline. The site they assigned us was not suitable for our 39 ft motorhome and we asked to be reassigned. They agreed with no problem and gave us another site but when we went to park there, it was already occupied. In turn, we asked for a full refund and they did give us the refund. We prefer to have nice paved interior roads, sites that are not too close together, and level sites. This campground does not have any of those things. One complaint we have is that most campgrounds employ young people who do not know much about the campgrounds or the difference between a trailer, fifth wheel, or Motorhome. Some don't even know the difference between 30 and 50 amps. All of these things are very important to know so they can correctly assign sites to specific types of RV's. I don't blame the young people, I blame the management for not properly training their staff. We feel we don't ask for much, just a comfortable site that is appropriate for the RV we have. Anyone out there agree with us?? We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were also surprised that it was not on the lake. Once we read their flyer and checked online we realized it was our mistake. Enjoyed our stay and rented a boat for the day. Their rates for campers is good. The lake is three miles from them. The big item is that there is not a dump station in the campground. Lots are grass with gravel roads. Needed three blocks to level trailer. We have used both the W&E and full hookup sites and both were the same. Great area for site-seeing and the lake is great. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

It's important to know that even though the name is Summersville LAKE Retreat, there is no access to the lake from this campground. We found this an acceptable place to park, interior roads are gravel and the sites are spaced a good distance apart. Water and electric (30 amp) sites, only 5 sites have full hookups and look like they have permanent/seasonal trailers on them. There is no dump station on the property -- the helpful staff directed us to the Battle Run COE campground 4 miles away to do that. We had no problems with power supply. There is quite a bit of road noise from US Route 19, which is very close to the park. The clientele was mostly quiet and well-behaved. As mentioned elsewhere, there are NO supplies available on the property except firewood. A truck stop with a well-stocked store is only 2/10 mile away at the intersection with US 19. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very clean and open campground. My only complaint is the absolute lack of any supplies/items sold. This is the first campground I have ever been to that did not sell ice!!!!! No other basic amenities are sold either. No laundry, nothing. It was very inconvenient to have to leave camp for everything. This campground is not conducive to long term stays, anything more than two nights and you will be running errands instead of relaxing. We have all been there when you run out of half and half or milk and you can send the kids to the camp store for the same, not here. Having said that the owners were friendly and the area is beautiful. We would go back to the area but not this campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
