Summersville Lake Retreat

Description

Q: Are you right on the lake? A: We are located at the southern end of Summersville Lake, less than 1 mile from Long Point Overlook and the shores of Summersville Lake. Although you may see an occasional speedboat from your front porch or campfire, there is over 100’ feet of vertical sandstone that separates us from the shoreline. The view of Summersville Lake and the mountains beyond are spectacular. We are literally “part of the scenery”, and direct access is limited to those of a sound body and a spirit for adventure. For the less able bodied, continue past our entrance another two miles West on Highway 129 (Summersville Lake Road) to the Summersville Dam, the largest earthen dam East of the Mississippi River, where you will find swimming beach, boat launch –n- such. As you are driving across the Dam, be sure to check out the Gauley River National Recreation Area on your left. Q: Do you allow pets? A: Yes, we love pets . . . but we know pets. We ask that you be considerate of our other guests by keeping your pet on a leash not to exceed 10 feet and please pick up after them. If left unattended, pets shall be securely crated with their needs met . . . or if you love your pet as much as we love ours, we can arrange pick up and delivery service with one of the many well run local boarding kennels in our area. Please refrain from allowing your pet into the showerhouse or non pet friendly cabins. Aggressive animals will not be tolerated, and we ask that all of our guests, human or otherwise, respect our evening quiet hours. Q: Do you have quiet hours in the campground? What about a campground host or night attendant? A: Yes, we live here and encourage people to enjoy the outdoors as much as we do . . . as long as their good times do not encroach on others. For this reason, we ask that all of our guests respect our quiet hours from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am. Our onsite campground hosts are always at your service and pride themselves on meeting your needs. On more than one occasion, one of our night owls has commented on how helpful Ed and Mona, and Nathan have been at procuring that 2:00 am bundle of firewood, or assisting with locked in keys. Q: How many people can we have on our campsite? A: Although our sites are spacious enough to allow for several tents both large and small, we ask that you limit your occupancy to 8 persons or less and no more than two vehicles per site. If you are looking for more elbow room to spread out, we suggest that larger groups consider two adjacent sites or one of our group areas where acres of privacy abound. Q: Do you have a store? What is nearby? A: We do not currently have a store, although one is currently in the works. We do however, have a gift shop at the office/check-in where besides the basics, (firewood and ice), you can also find some camper essentials, sunscreen, bear bells, tee shirts -n- such. You can also find some camper essentials at U Save Travel Plaza, just down the hill from our entrance, and Mabel's Diner does a pretty good breakfast 24/7 and serves a great “truck stop” size Cheeseburger.
