I prefer to reserve camping spots that offer showers and restrooms. Leith run offered both. However, when we arrived, the restroom and shower house was closed for over a year! The website doesn't say that they are and have been closed and apparently are not in any hurry to get them back up and running. The vault/pit restrooms were full of flies. Pretty awful. The other thing, I reserved in advance the spot that I wanted, but when we arrived, our spot was occupied. We let him stay and we chose another spot that was very nice. No view of the river like the original spot, but nice.

This is a favorite campground for us. We love being on the Ohio River, hearing and seeing the barges and trains across the river. Very small, quiet, beautiful. Close to Marietta, which is a fun town to visit. We also enjoy taking the Sisterville ferry across the river.

Park is nice. Pit toilet was clean. The men's toilet paper dispenser wasn't locked. Causing it to flop open when getting toilet paper. Grass and stick debris on all of the pads. Hope the shower house gets fixed soon.

This is a nice quiet place to relax and enjoy the river. The level terrain and paved walking /biking trails are nice. There is very limited cellular service available.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.

  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
