Nice park. Nice hosts. Pretty area by water. Parkersburg has the basics, grocery store, hardware store, Dollar General, Pizza place, restaurant and bar. Churches in town.
Just a nice place to camp next to a small town.
If you golf…. Beaver Meadows golf course is adjacent
Great lil golf course. Just wish the grounds were kept nicer. **Update** The grounds are now being kept up wonderfully! They have started cutting down dead trees and the greens are fantastic! Just wish the prices hadn’t gone up so much. 😕
Nice campground with lots of shade trees. Located next to a golf course and stream. Restroom has shower. Park has a disc golf course.
