Campground was very clean. Exceptionally clean restrooms! We have a 36 ft motorhome. It has tipouts on both sides. There is about 30 - 40 ft between campers. Sites wide enough to park two vehicles, side by side. Most campers were freindly. Lots of people fishing and a few kayakers put in at the boat launch. (Middle Yough). Hiking and biking rails-to-trails goes through the park. Hiked up to the lake, behind the dam with the grandkids to swim. Great two day, weekend stay!

So much to see & do in the surrounding area: biking, hiking, trout fishing, etc. The camp sites themselves lack shade & privacy. The current camp hosts are wonderful.

This was our 1st time at OCG and enjoyed ourselves. Trout fishing was good, once you learned the fishing hole, and CG is well maintained. Only downside is that sites are alittle close together, but all neighbors were very nice. We'll be back!
