Very clean and well maintained campground. Mix of RV, pull behind and tent campers. My son and I tent camped on spot 12, very close to the Ohio River. Excellent spot. A little bit of grade to that area so just set your camp head up and it will be great. Nice restroom/shower facilities. Extremely polite on-site campground attendant. T-Mobile cell service was decent at the site. Scenery of the river and boats and wildlife are fantastic. Would definitely recommend. 4.5 stars!

There was a group of four families that came for my daughter's birthday and had an amazing time. We only live 20 minutes away and it was our first time there and we will definitely be back! Camp host was so helpful beforehand and during our stay.

A quaint campground where you are not on top of one another along the Ohio River. Relax and enjoy hiking. fishing, and watching barges that pass up and down the river in the Wayne forest area. A quick car ride takes you to St Mary's WV to get supplies and grocery's. For a couple of years the showers were offline because of a flood but the Forest Service has repaired the facilities this spring and though primitive are very accommodating. The larger towns of Marrietta OH and Parkersburg WV are rich in history and worth a few days of exploring.

We have been coming to Leith Run for 16 years now. The camp host was the best ever in many ways. She kept the restrooms in tip top shape! something that has been lacking for many years. She was also friendly and helpful with any thing we needed. The flooding has taken a toll on the lawn tho and some reseeding would be helpful. The beautiful view tho is unbeatable!

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
