Great for family getaways. Close to activities in the Laurel Highlands, Ohiopyle, and more. Great little ice cream and pizza shop right next to the campground. The amenities are great and the grounds are very clean.

Nice campground and great to have showers at the end of a day of bike riding. Campground was packed and a little disappointed that we had to place our tents in gravel rather than the grass. The town shut down early and difficult to find food. We resorted to a bag of chips for dinner

This park is designed for RVs only. Tent campers should be able to use the grass and not set up on the gravel. Our group had a very disappointing experience here. Additionally, the camp host was rude to me and I wasn't in the mood for it.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to relax and enjoy the country. Such a nice place. Very clean and well maintained. Everyone that I have met there had been so friendly. And the last time I was there I saw a bald eagle fly over the water sitting at my campsite. What a beautiful site.

The sites were too close and our neighbors were up making noise and talking around the campfire at 4:30am! They continued to make noise and talk until they went fishing around 5:15 am, which was all during quiet hours.
