This is a beautiful campground nestled high atop mountains, away from the hustle bustle. It's a slice of heaven perfect for a few days of rest and rejuvenation. The campground is well maintained and the bathrooms were always clean and well stocked with paper towels and toilet paper. Park attendants Shawn and Brittani are wonderful, friendly and helpful. They made me feel very welcomed from the mom... This is a beautiful campground nestled high atop mountains, away from the hustle bustle. It's a slice of heaven perfect for a few days of rest and rejuvenation. The campground is well maintained and the bathrooms were always clean and well stocked with paper towels and toilet paper. Park attendants Shawn and Brittani are wonderful, friendly and helpful. They made me feel very welcomed from the moment I arrived until the moment I left. Ranger Francesca is a wealth of knowledge about the history of the reservoir, dam, and park. The camp hosts at this park really do a great job keeping up with everything. The pond is stocked with fish and is a nice place to relax. The camp store has the essentials and firewood, but Mon. - Thurs. closes too early at 1:00 pm. Most campers start rolling in around 3:00 pm and the store is already closed when they arrive. Site 32 is best for a small pull behind trailer or teardrop as it's unlevel except for the very end of the driveway. It's across from a restroom and a dumpster. Site 19 is shady, with a beautiful back yard and the driveway is mostly level, but it's under a walnut tree and the walnuts are very loud when they fall on the camper. Site 14 is a nice site, a mostly level driveway, but next to a dumpster. These sites have 50/30/20 electric. The drinking water is city water. The dump station is big rig friendly. Verizon 👎 AT&T 👍 NOTE: DO NOT GO UP THE MOUNTAIN THROUGH MCCOOL. TOO STEEP, NARROW, AND A WINDING ROAD WITH NO SHOULDERS, NO GUARD RAILS. TAKE HWY. 50, RT. 220 INSTEAD. (Unless you want to have a heart attack.) 😱

Had a great experience at the campground. This park is well maintained. The Glotfeltys are outstanding camp hosts. Looking forward to returning for a longer stay.

I visited Robert Craig Campground in May '23. I had a great experience. The reason for the 4/5 stars is because they only have electric sites. If they had full-hookup I would give them 5/5. The staff is real nice, very well maintained. The store has weird hours but if you need something, a camp host will open the store on off hours. Restrooms and showers are kept clean. If you plan on doing work w... I visited Robert Craig Campground in May '23. I had a great experience. The reason for the 4/5 stars is because they only have electric sites.

Restrooms and showers are kept clean. If you plan on doing work while visiting, there is very poor cell signal so consider yourself unplugged. The best cell signal was1-2 bars of LTE, no G. I plan on going back myself but without full-hookup I'll be leaving the family at home.

Nice ACE campground. Most of the sites are very nice all are paved. Some have addition of gravel to extend the length. Some are short and some are far from level even though they’re paved. There is one shower house so if you’re in the higher numbered loop you need to walk through the wooded path or around the road. Bath house and shower house maybe a 6/10. Mostly clean but pretty dated an... Nice ACE campground. Most of the sites are very nice all are paved. Some have addition of gravel to extend the length.

Bath house and shower house maybe a 6/10. Mostly clean but pretty dated and lack of upkeep in terms of painting etc. the roads getting from Keyser, WV or Westernport MD are narrow, winding and have steep switchbacks. Not big rig friendly but big rigs can manage them at a low speed. I would NOT take the road to or from Keyser with a camper. We did it getting there and then did 46 to amd from Westernport. There are a couple of nice hiking trails. There’s no path, that we found, from the campground to the lake. The lake is beautiful and clear and has a swimming beach, picnic area and overlook with Waffle rock (an interesting 300 million year old unique geological pattern, and lake construction history.

Had a great stay. It has showers and a few playgrounds. There are trails to hike and a pond to explore. Plus it's super close to the lake. Each spot has a fire pit with grill insert and a picnic table
