We were a multi generational family camping for the weekend. We chose a non-electric site that provided direct access to the lake. Very easy to launch our kayak right behind the site. The inlets and islands made for interesting kayaking. The site was very shady and level. Because it was deep from the road to the lake the site had plenty of room. Firewood at the campground store was reasonably pric... We were a multi generational family camping for the weekend. We chose a non-electric site that provided direct access to the lake. Very easy to launch our kayak right behind the site. The inlets and islands made for interesting kayaking. The site was very shady and level. Because it was deep from the road to the lake the site had plenty of room. Firewood at the campground store was reasonably priced. Some really lovely shady hiking. If you like moss you will appreciate the moss "lawns". We all had a good time. Be sure to visit the spillway! Really interesting! Now for some negatives. Lots of poison ivy so be aware. Campsites are very narrow and our next door neighbor had set up multiple shelters on our site. We shifted down a site and then the folks who had reserved that site called in the rangers. Ranger Dan Hogan showed up and solved the problem tactfully and creatively without forcing anyone to break down their camp. He was great. BUT had the park been more proactive about enforcing rules this would not have happened. The electric sites were in the center of the loop and seemed very tightly packed in and less shady. The swimming beach is some distance from our loop so we drove. A big beach - bring some shade. Very gravely. The facilities looked like they once included showers but now only toilets. Sort of dodgy. We chose a dogs-allowed loop to get the lake access. If barking bothers you and you don't have your own dog, maybe choose a no-dog loop.

The campground is awesome and has beautiful views. It has its own beach access, boat launch, fishing dock, and playground. There are bathrooms located around the park. The bathrooms & showers are private rooms which is nice IMO. We stayed at a tenting site that was waterfront and the view was beautiful. We fished right from our campsite. Would definitely camp here again!

Some of these sites have all hookups. Others do not. Many bathrooms in different locations. Some non-powered sites are close to the water. You can dock your boat overnight for $8 resident and $11 non-resident of pennsylvania.

Fabulous location for my father 70th birthday party! We had two cabins one pet friendly, clean fully stacked with amenities we went in end of August and the temperatures were very nice. No heat or AC needed nearby. Boat rental was $100 per hour which was a great experience. Very peaceful, calm, quiet clear night skies visible stars very visible, safe environment, pet friendly.
