Ives Run

Nice long weekend at Ives Run COE. We were there after season so no swimming. Saw bald eagles, took nice walks and enjoyed riding bikes. We stayed in the Hickory loop and thankfully followed notice on reservation page stating we may need a long hose & an extension cord. Depending on the site the power/water connection could be a LONG ways away so be prepared. Our only complaint was the acorns falling onto our motorhome day & night. ;-)
I'm certain we will camp there again.

Ives Run is one of our favorite campgrounds. Great location, large sites and very peaceful. Huge shoutout to the maintenance worker named Alan who helped us out with an electrical issue on the pedestal at our site as we were setting up our 5th wheel camper. He identified the issue quickly and then proceeded to fix the issue very efficiently and thoroughly on a Sunday evening. Saved us from having to move to another site! Thank you!

It was a super experience specially the lake made it beautiful. The place was clean, no insects perfect conditions. The fire grate was very good. The place was quiet and great neighbours made it a very pleasant experience.

We love this campground and make an annual fall trip. The sites are large and well spaced apart.

Campers need to know that there is no camp store or firewood. This year we also found the laundry facilities closed which was disappointing if you are staying for an extended period. The town of Wellsboro is a short drive away and a lovely place to visit. The Welcome Center on the way to Mansfield is a must stop as it has a wealth of information about all areas of Pennsylvania.

Good

Ives Run is a stunning campground, and I was thrilled to visit. As a full-time traveler, I’m used to briefly touring a campground to choose the best site for my truck and camper, as online maps and photos don’t always capture the view or site conditions. However, my experience was marred within minutes of arrival. A volunteer host confronted me while I was reserving an empty spot online, speaking to me in a condescending and disrespectful manner. I understand the need to manage the grounds, but a touch of compassion and understanding would have gone a long way. It felt like the host let their authority go to their head. I’ve visited countless campgrounds across the U.S. and have never been treated this way. Despite this, the campground itself is beautiful, and the ranger was friendly. Just be sure to reserve your site online before driving in to avoid any issues.

Restrooms need to be cleaned on a regular basis. They were cleaned once on our 2 week stay.

Very nice clean campground. Host very friendly and helpful. Site 67 had a beautiful view of the lake between the trees.

Why do so many sites sit empty day after day while you're website shows them as reserved. These sites don't ever have tags on their posts showing someone has reserved them but not shown up. It doesn't appear your website has an accurate depiction of what actually available.
