Ives Run

Well kept, nice views courteous park personal

Except for the rainy weather, which can't be helped, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The campsite was clean and the full hookups were great - although a little far away, but we were prepared for that as we have camped at Ives Run for many years. We both loved the proximity to the Pine Creek Trail and went on rides the days it didn't rain...so much fun. My husband had a great time fishing in the lake. We've now stayed in every loop and can't really pick a favorite. We'll be back in July!

The bathroom situation was horrible. We are currently unsure if we will ever return. The primitive area went from 1 men's toilet and a urinal and women's was 3 stalls to 1 one toilet for the number of sights it was unexceptionable

Very disappointing to see a federal campground has no recycle bins for campers to use. The lawn crew should be more respectful whey they are flying around campers throwing grass everywhere and mowing very close to vehicles and items at our site. It is sad that the government does not seem to be supporting parks like these so that they can be maintained properly. Despite these issues, this park remains one of our favorites and we will be back for many years to come. The sites are large, the campground is peaceful and offers many great opportunities for star gazing, biking, kayaking, fishing, boating, and hiking.

The electric and water hookups were at least 50 ft. away from camper. We were first time campers and did not have extension cord to go that far. Luckily we had nice neighbors the lent us an extension cord.

Always enjoy our time at Ives Run. Nice sights, good fishing and close access to bike trails.

We were in a travel trailer on site 90 with full hookups. Site was spacious and had a partial view of the lake. Kayaking on the lake was awesome, also plenty of places to hike and bike.

The grass had not been mowed in a while and was very tall. My brother in law ended up with a tick on him just from setting up the camper in the tall grass, has to be on antibiotics from the bite. The camp store was not open, very unkempt around it, weeds in the flower beds, bags of ice were left to melt in the ice freezer and it was full of empty bags, the store was locked, but you could look in the door, it was filthy. No weed eating has been done and weeds were high around all the sites. Very disappointed in how it is being taken care of.

High voltage concerns on site 50 were disregarded. Ranger said it was usually camper's equipment. But we are at our summer campground now, and there is no issue whatsoever. We were told a maintenance guy would come over, but all we saw was one who just kept going by. The camp host and ranger together listened to me within 30 minutes of arrival. The host suggested trying a dog bone, but we had faith in our EMS. I sure hope they get it fixed. I just tried to use the contact form on the Army COE website, but naturally it's not working for me today. Both legs should not add up to more than 240, at least I didn't think they could, but they did. Happy we didn't fry.

Great place
