We held our family reunion here in August. It was a great location! There was a large field and playground for children to lay on and plenty of parking. The site was also handicap accessible. My only complaint is there was no power t the shelter.

The grass needed cut, the shelter was very dirty with leaves and debris. When someone pays $90 for a shelter with no electric they expect cleanliness

We rented shelter 2 for our family reunion, parking was great and near the shelter as was the playground. The sidewalks make it great for handicapped individuals. The bathroom is a bit away for the disabled since they have one central bathroom for the 3 shelters and other picnic tables throughout the park. The shelter has a grill but no water or electricity. It works but adding electricity and water would make it great.

We have annual reunions at Summersville Lake and Dam, we have always had a good experience. This year the grass was so long that our smaller children and elders had trouble in playing and playing in the beautiful scenic area surrounding the shelter.

We had a great time at the shelter even though it rained. Please make sure you contact the reservation office by phine to ensure you are getting the shelter you want. They are not numbered.

Shelter 3 is beautiful with a view of the lake. The shelter was clean and ready for us with a grill and trash cans on site. A couple negatives are there is no electricity at shelter and no sidewalk from the parking lot to the shelter. This makes it challenging for people in wheelchairs or walkers. They would need to park at the restrooms and take the sidewalk from the bathrooms to the shelter which is a long walk for someone that is handicapped.
