Battle Run

Large number ofLake sides spots, great and helpful staff. If coming in from the West do not take 60 at night. Take the extra 10 minutes and use I-64.

We stayed overnight at Battle Run Campground in G loop site 99 which is a long pull through. We were in a 36’ 5th wheel. This was during first come first serve season and there were plenty of sites available. We arrived around 1 pm but off-season the check in gate doesn’t open until 5 pm. Once the office opened registration was easy. There are “no pets allowed” signs at the gate but unfortunately some people ignore them and bring their dogs. The campground is easily accessible from Hwy 19 and there are signs on the highway. I didn’t see any low limbs that would cause a problem for a tall rig on the way in or in the campground. Our site had a long gravel pad with plenty of room for our camper and truck once we unhooked. The site was level and had a fire ring w/grill, picnic table and lantern pole. There are no water spigots at the sites and I didn’t see any in the campground. The only water I saw to fill your tanks was at the dump station which I find less than desirable. There is 50-amp service at the sites. Our Southwire Surge Guard power protection device tripped 3 times that I know of shutting off power momentarily the night we were there. I received 1 bar of AT&T cell signal. With an antenna my channel scan showed 4 OTA TV channels but none came in clear. There were pay phones located with the vending machines outside at the bath house. There was a laundry room in the bath house too. The bath house was very clean and more modern than many I’ve used in other COE campgrounds. We saw several sheriff patrols in the campground during our one night stay. We were able to get cheaper diesel fuel at the Sheetz next to the Wal-Mart in Summersville but it’s about 12 miles away. We enjoyed our overnight stay at Battle Run Campground.

Park was Buddy when we camped in September. Lake a bit low, sites fairly small, but cleverly angled so we had a “lakeview “. Site. Restrooms clean.

Staff very accommodating and friendly. Beautiful lake front sites. Clean and well kept campground. We will return

The campgrounds are very nice the surroundings are beautiful. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful and friendly. Clean and well maintained, My only suggestion is that you increase the dryer time by 15 minutes, I known you can always add more quarters but another full time is too much.

Rangers were very helpful in extending our reservations for two more days.

Great location. Nice campground. Too bad quiet hours aren't enforced.

Battle Run is a beautiful campground with views of Summersville Lake from many of the spots. There are places to boat, swim, fish, hike and bike while at the Lake. If you have children with you, there is a centrally located playground. This campground is close to Summersville and New River Gorge, not to mention Babcock State Park and Hawks Nest State Park. Lots of nature to enjoy in the area and at this campground.

The staff is very nice and cares about your safety. I was there during a tornado warning and the staff were very caring and helped me to ensure my boat and camper were safe. It is a beautiful lake and lots of history (Carnifax Ferry civil war museum) is nearby.
