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.

Park appears maintained. Sites a bit close for comfort. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

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.
