Nice campground, very convenient if you are traveling on the GAP trail, or just using the trail for hiking/biking. Quiet, good space for setting up a tent in the hiker/biker area. Only compliant is the restroom which is clean but rather shabby.

beautiful campground, well cared for and quiet. could've been a little more upfront about allowable tent setup areas. As it was we were forced to move our tents from the open grass to the gravel parking pad. Also apparently do not allow clotheslines or anything to be tied to a tree?

Great campground right on the Youghiogheny. Fishing is very good with water temperature at 62°F. This part of the river is pretty calm and the is a nice paddle from the campground to the Ramcat pullout two miles downstream.

Only slept the night but convenient campsite next to river and some sites I was interested in visiting (Fallingwater specifically). There's lots of interesting activities like fishing, cycling, rafting, etc. and very cool towns nearby like Ohiopyle... plus visited the ice-cream shop very nearby and excellent milkshake!
