Beautiful lake with excellent fishing and the campground in general is well maintained. However, there is no comparison between the PA state parks bathrooms and shower houses to US Army Corps of Engineers parks. Have been visiting several of the state parks around north central Pa over the years camping with the family and have been very impressed by the updated modern bathrooms in the state parks. I realize the parks probably don't make a lot of money from the campground fees but the federal parks would do much better to follow the example of the state parks and put some money into updating the bathrooms. They are very old, pit toilets suffice but should be updated if they want to complete with the state parks. Loved the park overall though and the lake, I would return but family not so much just do to the outdated bathrooms.

campgrounds were nice but bathroom could be upgraded. Biggest upset was being that there r 3 in that area coming from ny I went to ives run and had to then go to tompkins. I looked up on my email and somehow that happened. Please put addresses on comfirmation page so that doesnt happen again
