Low price, decent stay.

Tent Space
Overall it was a nice stay. I would like to say you can not pull right up to where you camp here. There is a short walk, but it becomes substantial when you have to make multiple trips. There was one guest here who abused the outdoor "communal space" and woke me up each morning at 8 am with a loud zoom class that carried on for over 4 to 5 hours. I had no escape from this. Summersville lake is at a minimum 17 minutes away. There were a few things that I would suggest, especially as their first camper. A second or even downstairs bathroom should be a priority. There were multiple times there was a wait or line for the bathroom. A place for trash for the campers is a must. Turning off the many outdoor lights that stayed on 24/7. Outdoor access to water would be nice. I would suggest staying here in one of the rooms, but that was not an option with my dog. The area and house were nice. Having access to the kitchen and fridge/freezer is a bonus for campers. With a few improvements, I think it would be a much nicer space for campers. This was a very cheap option for camping, but it is best to know what you get when you book since there is not much information.
