Great classic campground. The upper loop is much more secluded, privacy depends on which site you're at. We were at site 4 which was conveniently near the restrooms + water while still being one of the most private sites because it was down a small hill and had full tree coverage. As of July 2020 the restroom was open but other amenities were closed due to Covid. 9 looked to be the smallest/ least private.

We spent time here for an event happening near by. Our site was nice, the area was neat and clean, though they had to shut the running water down early due to cold weather.
Kudzu Bridge State park is near by, it's a must see as well as many of the surrounding area hiking trails.

The camp sites are far enough apart so there is some privacy. The shower house across the road was cleaner than it’s ever been in past years. Pretty good fishing in the pond and stream. Loleta is a good place to unwind and enjoy beautiful Pennsylvania! No wifi or cell service; you have to drive back towards Marienville to have service.
