What Guests Are Saying
The pavilion at Youghiogheny Recreation Area could benefit from clearer signage indicating reserved use for paying customers. There have been instances of unregistered individuals using the space, suggesting a need for better enforcement. Ensuring proper usage would enhance the experience for those who have paid for the facility.

Had a family come into the pavilion while we were there and they were going to set up and use it. I had to tell them I PAID for the use of the pavilion. They took their stuff and laid it by the fire pit. There needs to be a sign put up that says reserved for the day. Also we were camped at the campground and saw people using the pavilion during the week which I am sure did not pay to use it. Need to patrol it better because it is not fair to the people that pay to use it and others don’t.

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
