Great park and campground. Whitewater rafting, great bike trail, and great hiking trails a very short drive away. Staff is friendly. Campground is peaceful and very scenic. Bathrooms were a bit buggy, but overall they were average for a state park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Much better access signage is desperately needed. Following the GPS can take you up a mile long 10% grade. We did it, twice because of lack of signs, dragging a 15,000# 5er. The tranny was NOT happy. A tough trip even for a mountain goat. The park itself is large. Plenty of space between sites. A few sites for larger rigs if you are up to the parking challenge on narrow but good access roads. We were there on a week night. The park was virtually empty. Nothing to listen to except wildlife & occasional train in the valley below. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here after Labor day and had the place all to ourselves and the racoons. There are a lot of things to see in the area as the last post said. Also there is Fort Nessisity and not far away is the 911 site outside Somerset. Can't wait to come back again. We camped here in a Tent.
Great park to take the family. Although our site wasn't very big there were some larger. The bathrooms were kept clean. It is your typical state park which I am partial to because of the "plenty of trees." It was quiet and had PLENTY of hiking trails that were fun to hike. Some more hilly then others so the weak at heart beware. We went into the small town which was really neat. There were places to soak your feet or swim on a hot day in the river. We also went white water rafting which was amazing. We had such a blast. BEWARE when trying to get to this campground. Go to the web site and follow those directions. DO NOT try any other route as the road up from the other direction is extremely steep and isn't advisable if you are towing anything. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice campground with limited number with electric hookups. They do have a dump station. Sites level side to side but not fore and aft. Lot to do in surronding 10 miles. Fallingwater (Frank Lloyd Wright house), white water rapids, very nice bike trails on river, hiking, etc. Very hilly area and could present a problem for large rigs. Go to web site and follow directions/warnings to get to campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is my second stay and it was a horrible experience. Paying $190 for 1 site for 2 nights, you expect it to be in good shape, but the campground was littered with broken glass and garbage. One port-o-john to accommodate up to 80 campers. When we checked out an hour past the 11AM departure time, they wanted to charge us $90 for the extra hour. When I said I wouldn't pay they said "I wasn't man enough to pay" and "Don't come back" Needless to say that isn't an issue. Don't stay here...you'll regret it. We camped here in a Tent.
Ridiculous fees for what was available ... no recreation center ... no swimming pool ... seriously overcharged at "store" (for lack of a better word) ... restrooms (except toilets at office) were horrible ... they were stainless toilets with no running water and stunk so bad that there was a guy throwing up from the smell when he tried to use it ... the showers (which were attached to the smelly restrooms) were filthy and spider infested ... plus, after paying $130 to stay in a tent for 2 nights, we had to pay for showers ... I will never return to this campsite ... if it wasn't required that we had to pay ahead and there were no refunds, we would have NOT stayed the second night We camped here in a Tent.
We had a large group of people tent camping together for a weekend. The campsites were very nice. They were large, wooded and sufficiently secluded. Overall, they were great! We especially liked that they have two designated camping areas, the Family Area and the Group Area. Ohiopyle had plenty of outdoor activities too. We camped here in a Tent.
