We stayed 7 nights at Leigh Run Campground. The second night there was a rain storm that flooded the grounds, but not enough to reach any of the campers at their sites. We were in site 2, in a 34’ Motorhome. Site 2 is in the inner circle, away from the Ohio river. The site is almost level, except for a sunken area one of the front wheels was in. Clean restrooms and hot shower.

Beautiful views of the Ohio River and West Virginia across from it and no pressure when checking in or out. However, complaints I do have is that photos on the website are quite misleading, showing images of fully-stacked firewood at a campsite that looks like it could last for days, yet I showed up to my site and there was no "Reserved" sign as I had reserved it online and no firewood, just some sticks left in the area probably by the last campers. I went to the camp manager, who just seemed grouchy and unhelpful, telling me to go get my own firewood out by the dumpster... "if there's even any left"...
Now, it had been raining in the days before I showed up, so I basically could huge logs of firewood, damp if not wet, that can't even fit into the confined grills/firepits let alone burn when wet (or perhaps even when dry in such a small space). The grouch in the RV (camp manager) made sure to punctuate "don't drive up to the campsite". With no available carts and with quite a walk, you have to haul as many sticks in your car as you can, making a mess, and then losing a ton trying to haul them to the site. If they're wet and wont burn and you need almost constant refueling to dry others while other burn, you're going to spend your evening going back and forth to this dumpster mess pile trying to bring it to the fire as fast as you can to basically cook a hotdog... bring lanterns here, come prepared, and ideally bring a camp stove grill of your own; firewood is left to the elements here and the grouch in the RV who apparently runs the place never even gave suggestions of where to go buy real firewood.
I felt like I was being watched too by some of the camper crowd (you probably can't go wrong if you show up in one of those). Luckily, I tore down camp and left basically when I wanted/needed to with no hassle. You get beautiful views, showers, a good bathroom, even water pumps, but you also get wet firewood and no real assistance or welcome from the manager.

Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
- Reservations must be made at least 4 days in advance; late campsites are first-come, first-served.
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- 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.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- 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.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
