Ives Run

This is one of our most favorite camping spots with our camping group ... which includes about 6-8 campers/RV's and about 16 over 50 aged people.
We keep coming back about the same weekend every year since about 2015 and we LOVE it....
It is clean, peaceful, beautiful setting, sites are ample and not too close...the park is layed out very well....
We usually take a day and drive into New York to purchase our wine supply for the holidays, but for the most part, we just like to quietly enjoy the setting, the community, our friends, and the beautiful outdoors!
Did I say we absolutely LOVE it.
Thank you!!

My wife and I always enjoy staying at Ives Run near Tioga, PA. It's truly one of our favorite places to stay. Very clean and well maintained. If all goes well, we will be camping there for the first two weeks next May.

Campground is spacious. Site fit our 40' fifth wheel and barely fit our dually truck, but the views of the lake were amazing. With our Access pass, we paid less than $20/night.

We had a beautiful site near the boat launch. The sunrise on our last day was fabulous and I was able to see a short tailed weasel, something not spotted too often in Pennsylvania. This spot also gave us close proximity to Lake Cowenesque, so we were able to explore both lakes. The maps were a bit sketchy and we had to go to an outside visitor center to help us find our way to the dam and other sites. Another problem we had was what to do with our dishwater. We were told not to dump it in the grass and two different hosts gave us different suggestions until they could get back to us. Noone ever did.

We had a big spacious site with a great view of the lake. Our water and electric hook up was right behind us, where as my parents was shared with another site in front of them . Luckily they had enough cord and hose. Great place to walk dogs, go fishing, playground for kids.

We loved being here at Ives run on the last weekend of the season, Halloween Weekend. Not crowded at all but plenty of sites taken. The Campground had a decorating contest which we did not enter but it gave a festive vibe all around with campers putting out pumpkins and mums and haybales. The grounds here are breathtaking. New trees had been planted here and there and it is obvious that the trees are one of the main attractions. Vibrant color. A few beautiful trails surrounding the recreation area. We had the trails all to ourselves so it was just beautiful. All sites kept neat and clean by the camp hosts and thoughtful campers. Especially the fire rings which is my pet peeve. Plenty of room for big rigs. We certainly will be back!

We had wonderful weather and a very peaceful camping trip.

Nice weekend to camp thanks for being open

Was a great time with great people, and camp hosts were curtious to my family and friends. We will definitely be returning next year.

Perfect final days of camping for 2022! We will come back next year at this time too if the weather holds.
