The campsite was clean and lovely! When my car died on camp, the couple who run the site were so kind and helped jumpstart our car in the middle of the night and gave us some tips. So sweet and such lifesavers!

Loleta is a peaceful, idyllic spot. My Upper Loop campsite was quiet and well-spaced from other sites. The camp host and hostess went above and beyond expectations to welcome me and make my stay pleasant, and they make the recreation area inviting with extras, like flower plantings and hanging baskets at the bathhouse. They keep the bathhouse clean and accessible 24 hours a day, and all facilities are well-supplied with necessities, such as paper towels, toilet paper, and hand soap. Loleta makes a great home base for exploring the area. Clear Creek and Cook Forest State Parks and Clear Creek State Forest are nearby, and hiking/birding opportunities are close by in Allegheny National Forest at Buzzard Swamp, Beaver Meadows, and Loleta itself. I would definitely consider camping at Loleta again.
