What Guests Are Saying

Gatewood Group offers a fantastic campground with ample space for groups, well-maintained areas, and excellent amenities like grills and fire pits. The scenery is beautiful, making it a great spot for stargazing. While the campground is quiet and restful, some visitors noted a high presence of chiggers.

Absolutely the best camp site in all of the parks I have visited. Camp manager Mike was amazing and far more helpful than I could have ever asked for or expected. I cannot wait for the opportunity to visit Monongahela NP and stay at Gatewood again.
