Battle Run Campground is conveniently located south of Summersville, WV, on the shore of the largest lake in West Virginia. Superb water quality and sheer sandstone cliffs make Summersville Lake a unique place to visit. Boating, water-skiing, swimming, fishing for large- and smallmouth bass, walleye, panfish, and catfish, (trout are stocked below the dam in the spring and fall) scuba diving, picnicking, hunting, and biking are the favorite activities enjoyed by nearly one million visitors annually. Technical rock climbing and whitewater rafting are available year round nearby, with whitewater releases below the dam on the world class Gauley River in September and October. A marina and dive shop are located on the lake with grocery stores, restaurants, and service stations located nearby in Summersville. The campground offers 117 sites, 110 with electric hookups. The day-use picnic shelters are listed as a separate facility, Summersville Lake Shelters.
