    Krodel Park Campground - Reserved camp spot and spent $20 to use free public restroom. Restroom not clean and door behind me does not close or latch.

    Save your $20 and set up after the office closes…read more This campground is disappointing and not ideal for tent campers. My husband and I reserved and paid cash for our tent site and were denied the same privileges (water, waste, sewage) as the RV campers.We were told we couldn't use the clean bathrooms due to our tent status. Instead, we were directed to use the free public bathrooms that are not maintained. (Picture of the paid tent camper (public) bathroom below)

    Sunday, June 23rd, Tony and I was taking a Sunday drive to Huntington, WV from Cottageville, WV. We…read morepassed this lovely lake Called KRODEL LAKE...so we decided to turned into the parking lot. Free to Enjoy!!!. The far back part of the lake there is this Old Historical (re-enactment ) fort called Fort Randolph. This is pre Colonial time frame in the 1730's when the land was being newly discovered and the likes of Daniel and Squire Boone was running around the woods chasing and running from Indians. The fort is pretty good size and it is opened during re-enactment times only for tourist. We walked around the fort and I was able to get some really nice shots. There is also a homestead log cabin and behind the cabin there is a Indian Village with oval shaped wigwams and other items re-enacting a Indian Encampment. There was a lot of Canadian Tourist waddling around and flapping their wings aka arms around. Very noisy honking tourist voicing their opinions on the park. This is also a campground also where people not only camp during peak season but off season too, by the looks of some of the lots I think they live there year round. At Lake Krodel there is paddle boats, docks and you can fish, picnic and bring your own canoes and kayaks to enjoy the day with the kids. Picnic tables with shelters and playground equipment. It's a very lovely Free park to enjoy with the kids and family!!!

    For my short trip to Point Pleasant, West Virginia at the beginning of April in 2023, I had…read moreactually booked another campground who called me while I was in route to West Virginia to tell me that their bathrooms had been vandalized and there were absolutely no facilities available not even a porta potty leaving me no choice but to scramble to find another campground while on the road. Enter Blue Heron Landing to the rescue! Blue Heron is open all year round however their tent camping is sectioned off by the small river and they had not yet moved a potta potty to the river for the late night convenience of hardcore tent campers like me. The owner was so sweet to voice her concerns for me due to April's still chilly temperatures but she felt much better after I let her know I pitch tents in Wisconsin in October. Still worried about a lengthy hike to the bathroom facilities, she gave me an excellent spot with direct access to the cleanest bathrooms/showers I have ever seen! And for reference, I camp all over as a traveling festival performer. The owner also let me set up late after closing which I really appreciated as my travel time had been set back when I had to pull off the road to research a replacement facility last minute. The owner's son came up to my campsite to collect the fee. He politely introduced himself and kept a respectful distance so not to scare me as I set up. I really appreciated that small gesture to make me feel safe. I had gone to West Virginia to scope out Point Pleasant to see if the September Mothman Festival might be a good fit for me. If I decide to add it to my festival circuit the only place I'll stay is Blue Heron Landing. While it certainly wasn't the other campground's fault that they couldn't accommodate me, Blue Heron Landing went above and beyond.

    Super beautiful and well maintained site. There was a portapotty that was seriously the cleanest…read moreI've ever seen. The lady who runs it was so nice too! My friend lost his wallet and they drove it down to us when they found it.

    A very peaceful and quiet campground with a few critters to watch while you are relaxing. The…read morerestrooms are in need of upgrading. Lots of spots to go fishing on the two large ponds. Sites are a decent size. Ours was very wet right outside our camper door well after it rained. Most of the best sites are used by seasonal campers and a good portion of those campers are in rough shape. No maintained hiking trails through the vast property. This place has tons of potential if someone took the time and money to improve it They do accept Passport America members at a discounted price. If you you do stay here, drive down the road a bit and eat at the TopSpot restaurant. Get the open faced roast beef sandwich.

    We stayed one night in a 50 amp full hookup pull-thru site that was long and level. Fresh gravel…read morehad just been spread out on our site. Campground has lots of seasonal and permanent residents that had most of the shaded sites. Our site was open to the sky. Utilities are in the middle and water pressure was strong. No dog park but there were plenty of places to walk the dogs. It's dark and quiet at night so we had a great night's sleep. Owners were very helpful and accommodating. Campground is 4 miles off the interstate on narrow, winding country roads, especially when you get on Middle Fork Road, where there are about 3-4 switchbacks with blind curves. Also if you have a big and tall rig, some of the trees have low branches. They're a PA park and also give discounts to military and veterans.
