New listing
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, and younger campers love the park's playground, nature trails and large shade trees. The 2790-acre lake provides excellent boating, water skiing, swimming and scuba diving. Anglers will find large and smallmouth bass, walleye, panfish and catfish, and 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, and the Summersville Lake area also offers technical rock climbing. 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, and wildlife including black bear, deer, grouse and turkey is abundant in the area. The historic Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park is a 10-minute drive from the campground, offering a museum, three Gauley River overlooks and hiking trails, as well as a Civil War battle reenactment every other year. Summersville Lake Marina and Sarge's Dive Shop are 11 miles away, offering kayak and pontoon boat rentals, and the town of Summersville, another five miles north, has several grocery stores, restaurants and service stations. Mountain Lake Campground is a privately managed campground with lake access, and Summersville Lake Retreat is three miles east on Route 129, offering cabins and lighthouse tours. World-renowned rock climbing at the New River Gorge is just 18 miles south: within its 63,000 acres are over 1,400 established rock climbs on very hard sandstone cliffs ranging from 30 to 120 feet in height.
