A 33-unit semi-primitive, wooded campground with paved access roads and parking spurs, located approximately 10 miles from Richwood, WV, adjacent to a popular 43-acre cold water fishing lake.
From Richwood, WV, take US Rt. 39/55 for 6.3 miles to the Summit Lake campground sign. Turn left onto County Rt. 39/5 and go 2.2 miles to campground.
Meh.... it's beautiful but the campsites are lacking. All the sites are cramped together. The only flatish spot suitable for tents are graveled. Good trout fishing.
Beautiful. The water was getting really low though. I'd guess about 3 ft lower than average. It's beautiful if you can at and the cold check out the colors on all the trees
Great little campground. No hookups but paved for campers/RVs and a graveled fire pit area. Secluded, relaxing spot. Through the week it is not too busy. Of course, beautiful Summit Lake is within walking/biking distance.
Nice campground with 2 loops. I don't think any of the sites are actually on the lake but some aren't far from it. There is a nice dock and landing to launch your boat. Camp sites are only $10 a night but I didn't see showers.
The star rating is kind of redundant but the campground is great. There is a water sticker for cool clean water, a sheltered toilet that is actually nice. Not like the ones we used overseas with a million flies, smelled like a sewage plant, and would lose 10 lbs by stepping in. It was clean and very nice. The campground has a picnic table and metal fire/cook ring in every spot. You will want to bring your own firewood though. It's not just laying around within 100 ft of camping spots. They're are walking trails everywhere and a short stroll down to the lake, or a very short drive if your not able to walk through the terrain. This campground is in the national Forrest where there is an abundance of wild critters including bears. Don't call the DNR crying, when Yogi and Smokey attacks your campsite because you left your mama's meatloaf on the table overnight. Seriously if your new to camping do some research, a fed bear is a dead bear. It's a very nice place and I hope it can stay that way.
