Ohaver Lake

appreciate the hosts who help campers find spots and work hard make the experience a good one for all

Great campground, very clean! Kids enjoyed fishing and paddle boarding. Site 32 is perfect (almost) - close to the lake and secluded at the end of a turn around. It is also close to a day use parking lot. We were woke up before 6 am by people fishing less than 10 yards away from our tent/camper. The day before a family with 5 kids were spread out fishing basically right on top of the campsite. They did not take their son to the restroom but let him use a tree, right in front of the campsite while we’re were sitting there. I would probably choose a different site next time, farther away from the lake so the day use visitors aren’t on top of our site.
Other than that, we loved every minute and even went 4 wheeling a bit.
Thank you!

Ohaver Lake is always amazing. I don't want to say too much because it is so hard to get a reservation. My daughters commented on how clean the bathrooms were...that does not happen very often.

Very crowded campground. Host was not helpful at all in directing me to my site or enforcing leash rules. The lake is super small for the number of visitors. Almost not worth inflating my SUP,hard to avoid the shore fisherman and generally an unpleasant experience. I made the best of a bad situation and headed out of the campground on a cross country hike that afforded a gorgeous sunset view. Beat it out of there at dawn.

We were only able to spend one night this time around, but looking forward to coming back soon. The grounds were well kept and clean, and we were also impressed with how clean the bathroom was. Overall, a great experience for us!

Rained the first night for 3 hours. The lake was so beautiful following the storm. Paddleboarded and fished
The camp hosts are wonderful. Very friendly and helpful

Excellent

Lovely place, very clean and well kept

beautiful

Camp host is great, views are breathtaking, the lake is full of trout - my 7 old daughter caught some even. BUT the place gets very windy, the best spots by the water are the worst. The wind lasts from early afternoon till night time and it’s just not relaxing at all (not to mention tents, canopies, and other things get broken; other stuff not tied down would fly away (my blow up 4-people boat was flopping in the wind tied to a tree). I’m mostly speaking for #20 and the spots around it - went there for two years in a row at different times of the year and it was the same experience (first time - an anchored canopy pulled out of the ground and thrown into a tree - broken and had ti throw it away, second time - the tent was getting pushed down to the ground so much by the wind that it broke the supporting poles, so we ended up dropping the tent flat during daytime). We saw a canopy with a full cooler, jugs of water, table and chairs inside getting flipped and broken. One of my friends said it’s because of the position of the lake to the mountain, etc. so that reinforced the thought that it might just be the norm for that spot. Deeper away from the water on the ends of the campground might be better, but definitely not around #20, which is the best spot otherwise I think.
