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.

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.
