Rate paid reflects Good Sam discount. Camped here with a group. Most of this campground is occupied by seasonal units, but they all seem neat and well maintained. Saw some seasonal guests raking their sites. The area for short term guests is on a hill. Sites at the top of the hill are more level, but in any case you will need leveling equipment. There is a mix of sun and shade. Did not use the restrooms or showers as the building is not heated and temps were in the low 40s in the morning. We ran into some low voltage trying to make a group breakfast, so on a hot day with lots of air conditioners running, it could be an issue. They charge $3 a day if you want to use your AC. Would stay here again if in the area. Only about 30 minutes from I-80. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The children love the modern playground, and it's in sand which really keeps the crud off of the kids. Just dust them off. The pool is great, plenty of room for everybody. And it's heated. The camp store is top rate with friendly staff. We frequent this campground every year.The temporary sites are on a slope, leveling gear is a must. Lost water pressure down to nothing one Sunday morning due to everyone getting ready to leave. So fill your fresh water tank there on Saturday and you will have no problems when running off of your pump. Plenty to do, and the Trail's End bar/restaurant just across the street has excellent food/drinks/service. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Overall a good experience, prices at the store were high, as are most ... restrooms were clean and showers were free ... tent sites were nice ... card to enter and exit thru gate ... close to a lot of things ... friendly people ... will probably camp there again. We camped here in a Tent.

This is a slightly better than typical Pennsylvania State Park campground. Most of the the sites are at least partly shaded and many are full shade in beautiful surroundings. Sites are gravel or grass spurs and reasonably level. The roads going in to and within the campground are not in the best condition and some are roughly graded gravel/rock -- go slowly! Restrooms and showers are not the most modern but were clean enough and staff was there to clean them even in the off season on a weekday. We made this an overnight stop on our way to the Erie area. We didn't have a lot of time to explore the park, but would definitely make this a destination for a longer stay. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We camp here every year, and they are updating sites to accomodate bigger rigs. They fill up quickly, and reservations are almost always necessary. The road into the park is very rough. Park personnel are always very friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Ridge camp is the state park campground in Cook Forest. The campground is right in the state park and some parts have a 'Yellowstone' look to them. Access roads inside the campground were either gravel or broken up asphalt. There is a check in post at the front that was staffed. The only thing I didn't like was you could drive right in and not even be given a wave. Poor security but at least the rangers drove through often in the daylight. Never saw one past dark though. We brought our dog and were limited to a certain area for pets. The pet rules are strict. You are not allowed on any trails except one for pets. You cannot walk your pet outside of the pet area. You are charged $2.00 a day if you bring a pet to cover "added maintenance and program costs" whatever that is. The sites are large and include a picnic table and fire ring. The park has 50 and 30 amp electric sites, a dump station, drinking water spigots throughout, and shower houses. Out of the 230 some sites, 60 of the sites have electric hookups, the remainder are primitive. The site we had was primitive. I have a battery so that didn't bother my much. The bathrooms are OK but not real clean. My wife overheard a lady telling her child "it was only a mouse, don't cry". I choose to shower and use the toilet in my popup this trip! There are a few canoe liveries and gift shops in the area. Lots of trails but like I said above we couldn't really do any hiking since we had a dog. It rained quite heavily all weekend which didn't make out stay enjoyable. We may try this park again sans the dog. There are a few other modern campgrounds in the area that look better though. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
