Beautiful and well maintained campground. Hosts were excellent. Sites were cleaned between reservations....I even saw the host raking the gravel on the sites to make sure everything was perfect for the next guest. Restrooms were cleaned twice daily. Will definitely visit again!

We loved being so close to the Great Allegheny Trail (remember to bring your bikes) and minutes away from Ohiopyle State Parks with full-hookups. We plan on coming back!

Host greeted us when we arrived, and asked us if we needed any orientation .
Restrooms very clean, campsites also well maintained.
Main attraction is the Ohiopyle bike trail which is accessible just few feet from campground entrance.
Also, fishing area below dam water outlet is popular.

Brought a small scouting group here (10 boys, 5 adults). Site 2A was excellent for our needs, as it gave us space to spread out (the 2 patrols of boys had plenty of space to themselves as did the leaders). Plenty of extra room to play games and work on scout skills on this site. A bit of a hike to get good water (at the shower house) but otherwise great facilities and privacy. A good base for activities in Ohiopyle (rafting, paintball). The beach on the other side of the dam was a short hike away and welcome on a hot day! Will return!

Very nice campground but dumpster area in constant use from people outside campground causing every dumpster to overflow.

If you are okay with dogs off leash at multiple sites and the barking you will enjoy your stay. Reception is marginal on Verizon and over the air television is nonexistent. television is nonexistent.
