Saint Clairsville camping overview
Saint Clairsville sits in Belmont County along Interstate 70 in eastern Ohio, roughly ten miles west of Wheeling, West Virginia. The town serves as a practical base for RV travelers exploring the Appalachian foothills, the Ohio River Valley, and the Muskingum Watershed lakes to the west.
Campground options within a short drive span state parks, watershed-district lakeshore parks, and privately owned RV parks. Barkcamp State Park occupies a scenic setting in Ohio's Appalachian Plateau region, where rolling sandstone hills surround the 117-acre Belmont Lake, and the 1,005-acre park offers 150 electrified campsites across sunny and shaded loops, with options ranging from basic electric sites to full-service sites with water and sewer hookups. Piedmont Marina CG - MWCD sits on a lake with 2,270 acres of water and 4,416 acres of land, offering full hook-up campsites, seasonal docking, and lakeside amenities.
Across the river in West Virginia, Grand Vue Park is a resort-style campground in Moundsville with sweeping views of the Ohio Valley from its elevated position in Marshall County. Smaller private options include Big Gs RV Campground and Zion Retreat and RV Park.
Things to do near Saint Clairsville
Lake activities anchor most trips in the region. Muskie, bass and saugeye are plentiful at Piedmont Lake, and a 10-horsepower limit on boats makes for a quiet, angler-friendly experience. At Barkcamp State Park, a 700-foot beach provides swimming and sunbathing, and boats with electric motors only are permitted on Belmont Lake.
On land, families gravitate to Grand Vue Park for its ziplines, disc golf, mini golf, and heated pool, plus the on-site Vue Bar and Grill. Zion Retreat and RV Park offers lake and pond access for kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing alongside RV hookups and primitive tent sites.
Day trips include the Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex and the West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville, the historic National Road corridor along US-40, and segments of the statewide Buckeye Trail that pass through several MWCD lakes.

Steve4 trips - Joined May 2024
RV was awesome. Great set up and delivery service for us. First class all the way around. Thank you.
Eric W. - Jul 2026
In a word - excellent. That’s how I would describe the experience with Steve and his RV. Well-appointed, very clean, and a comprehensive manual for renters. Steve (and his wife and son) were such great collaborators in general, particularly for a festival drop off that was anything but straightforward! Next May, I will be renting from Steve again if the RV is available.
JOHN W. - May 2026
The host was very responsive and the camper was just what my wife and I were looking for. Everything was included and all we needed was food and cloths. The coffee service was appreciated too! Will rent from again.
