Could have marked where the campground was a little better, but it was gorgeous! Map was very helpful! I called and had a question and the lady who helped me was very kind!

Description of site did not say how steep it was. Bathroom was disgusting and cleaned by other campers who also donated toilet paper. Unfriendly host who also locked the family bathroom and turned it into his private bath. Doubt we will be back.
PA has the nastiest bathrooms of all the states we traveled this summer. Some had signs stating they would not be cleaned daily, others looked like they hadn’t been cleaned he whole season, fecal matter present, mold and filth. You have camphosts that get free sites for duties, if they don’t want the job then they should be replaced. Many were beyond gross and completely unsanitary.

Smaller campground which means less noise easier access to washrooms areas and some good birdwatching. Close to area hike trails.
