Nice campgrounds, sizable lots and mellow folks. Walk a few yards to the Youghegeny river and fish, drive around, up and across the damn for swimming or stop in at the icecream shop just around the corner from everything from a sundae to chicken fingers or burgers. Don't forget to drive over to Ohiopyle to see the cascading water or book a rafting trip then make sure to see fallingwaters.org, a Frank Lloyd Wright designed house. I you can handle it make sure to spend some time at the flight 83 memorial. Take tissues!
Never knew PA was so beautiful!

Nice park but camping sites are close together and to tight. No water on site so if you stay long enough you have to move your rig to get water or to dump. Overall it was ok, there is bike riding and fishing. The little town is very interesting with lots of history.

This is a very pleasant, well maintained campground. Most of the tent sites are large enough to accommodate two vehicles and two tents. It usually is occupied to capacity on Friday and Saturday evenings, with fewer users on Sunday through Thursday. Campers generally are considerate.

Comfortable and clean campground, and if you have kids it is close Ohiopyle State Park well known for its natural water slide!

The entire park was closed because of the lack of potable water. The restrooms are very dated and the number of toilets is too small for the number of tent campers.I don't know if we need to go back. That being said, the camp host was great, the site for our trailer was neat and tidy, and its a convenient location for visiting the Borough of Confluence and Fort Necessity or walking/biking the trail. In addition, close to the campground are lots of access points to the river and dam area.

Electrical service on site 55 has been screwed up for several years. This year the service was downsized to a 20 amp breaker. Can't run a air conditioner and make a pot of coffee without tripping the breaker. Needs attention!!!!!

Great place to sit back and relax. The boat ramp is a short drive from the campsites and fishing is a short walk. The grandkids enjoyed riding bikes on the bike trail. Confluence is a short bike ride where you can get anything that you might have forgotten!
