When we got here we had to be put onto a different site than we had reserved. Sites were very close, little room for a fire. Could not open awning due to a tree on site. Many sites are seasonal so campground had many locals with children running around without much adult supervision. Campground is close to Rocky Gap State Park, which is very nice to explore. Would not use as a weekend destination, but would use as a one night stopover on a longer trip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We loved our stay here and look forward to returning since its relatively close (3 hours) to our home. The camp sites are nicely wooded and it was very quiet despite the freeway not being far away. We stayed at one of the rustic sites (no electric sites were available) and would try to reserve in the "A" or Ash electric loop next time. In addition to having the electric convenience, it's closer to the lake. A ranger mentioned that the electric sites might not have power from mid-October through the late Spring of 2009 because of some bathhouse renovations that are slated for that period, but said to call and check with the office to make sure. They were also considering the possibility of keeping one loop open during the winter this year (again, call the office to double check). The lake has a nice, wide beach area. Dogs are not allowed on the sand, but there are cute, shaded, 'love seat' wood swings on the lawn nearby where you can sit and take in the view with your pet (and a beloved human :) The 5 mile loop trail around the lake is lovely. The only downside was that we could not get a strong WiFi signal on our Verizon EVDO card here or at any of the nearby open areas. The town of Cumberland (about 10 minutes away by car and within biking distance for strong cyclists) offers an assortment of dining opportunities and a few art galleries and interesting shops. Lastly, I loved that this state campground doesn't charge extra fees for booking online. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is actually in Pennsylvania along the Maryland-Pennsylvania border. Out in the country which is very beautiful and serene. The sites were roomy and many had trees for shade. Some seasonal sites but they were located in separate area. Pool looked clean and well-kept; pond for fishing was nice. There is a small store, game room and play area for children. People were very friendly although there was a group of folks that didn't abide by the quiet time rules..somewhat noisy for after hours. But,if you want to get away for a few days to relax; this is a place to consider. We would go back to this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I love state parks. They really kept it clean. Not busy at all. We are from Mo. and if it wasn't so far, we'd be back in a flash. Great! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We'd give it a 10 except that quiet hours were not well enforced. We were in the Ash loop - the only electric loop - site 6. Our site was very private, but the loud partying noise from #4 was very audible in the quiet hours. We were close enough to the newly renovated bathrooms, which feature a family room (unfortunately often used by non-handicapped singles . . .) and a nice dish sink. We were within a 10 minute walk of the beach area and camp store. We could easily pull an all-terrain wagon down the paths and onto the beach. There were family activities on this holiday weekend like crafts, ice cream social, musicians performing. Cumberland was a short drive away for the fireworks and restaurants. We'll definitely return to this beautiful, relaxing, family-fun park! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Great State Park sites were shaded and level. We stayed in the Ash section with electric and pets are allowed. Brand new restrooms with showers. We will definitional be back, next time in the fall of the year We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Park and campgrounds are beautiful. We stayed in the electric loop and had a pull-thru site which was very spacious and private. The only negative was that the bathroom and shower house in our loop was not very clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This has got to be one of the best state parks that we have tried. We stayed in the Ash loop, which is the only electric service loop in the campground. Our site (#27) was a tad on the tight side for a 30 foot motor home and the fire pit was very close to our rig. That is the only reason I did not give the park a 10 rating. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed hiking the lake loop trail which is easy and scenic. Also, we noticed a fair amount of patrolling by the park staff (a good thing). We hope to return in the fall. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We loved this park from the moment we drove in. Off season it works on the "honor system"; drive in, pick your site, and please pay for it. We did. Site was very large, surrounded by woods. If you're looking for nature, great place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites are very clean and very private. They are surrounded by woods and woodland plants. We also enjoyed hiking around the lake and stopping at the lodge for a relaxing moment longing and overlooking the lake. Did not play golf, but it looks very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park has a large number of trees and heavy woods to park under. All roads were new blacktop. All sites are gravel and not a lot of sites are level. You have 30 sites in loop "Ash" that have 30 amp power and no water. All other sites are tent sites with no power or water. Ash loop sites are $30.00 with 30 amps. Sr. Citizens get it for $15.00 from Sunday-Thurs only. No discounts Friday-Sat or Holidays. No road noise here. Park is 10 miles east of Cumberland. Large 245 acre lake with a very large white sand beach. Large amount of playground equipment at beach for kids to play on. Boats for rent on lake. We camped here in a Motorhome.
On Lake Habeeb reservoir, off I-68 just east of Cumberland, this large campground is divided into 9 loops, only one having electric hook-ups and two allowing pets. All the sites were nicely wooded, on stone dust pads with gravel drives and with plenty of room between them. Each site had a picnic table, fire ring and lantern post. Each loop had a bathhouse. Ours was well-used, but clean and well-supplied, as well as handicap accessible. A trail runs through the campground (open to hikers and mountain bikers) and goes completely around the lake. Beaches, fishing and boat rentals are available in this scenic park, and there is a golf course and Lodge as well. We had dinner in the restaurant there one evening; it was pricey, but the lakeside dining room had a wall of windows with a wonderful view. The staff in the campground office and our loop’s resident campground host were helpful. The place was practically deserted after Labor Day. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
