GuideVery large CG. I car camped at site 066 (with electric) in mid-October and CG was 3/4 empty. Nice location on Glendale Lake with a beach and boat activities (for warmer months). Showers had no hot water but facilities were nice. Very little separation between sites. Nearby hunters discharging guns into evening hours.
TravelerStayed the weekend for the first time and it wasn’t bad! There were kids playing at sites nearby but that was all the noise, highway noise at all! I like how they have a spot for your tent with a picnic table and fire ring. I was in my rooftop tent on my truck so I wish the parking spot went back a little deeper for a little more privacy. But it was nice that there was bathrooms and showers within a 1 minute walk from the site! Also it says on here there is no AT&T signal, that’s not true…it’s not great but there is a bar or 2 at times!
TravelerStayed one night. Close to Fallingwater and Fort Necessity. The campsite was terrible; close to water and buggy, steep grade required lots of blocking to level the camper and challenging to hook up to the vehicle. Thick canopy kept Starlink from working. The worst part was the bathrooms. The one closest to our spot had no hot water. So we had to walk about a half a mile to two other restrooms and showers within 100 yards of each other. Makes no sense. Anyway, both bathrooms were filthy, had paint peeling everywhere, lots of black mold growing on the ceilings, growing everywhere. No place to hang clothes while taking a shower. One of the two toilets in each of the men’s room was probably 3 feet off the ground. Made for giants I guess! And good luck finding the visitor center. It’s hidden from view and parking is terrible. You’ll have to walk 150 yards from the nearest point of the parking lot to find it. To walk there from the bus and RV parking, add an additional 1/4 mile each way. Be aware that the visitor center store does not accept credit cards. Cash or check only. Who does that? It’s 2026 Pennsylvania!
RangerThe sites and roads are well maintained. Some sites are on hilly roads but are acceptable for tenters. The bathhouse is older but the showers are hot. August 2026
TravelerWe love it here so much we almost never leave. There is a creek, playground and games for the kids year round. The lake is great for fishing, boating, swimming and more from March-August usually but even longer this year it seems. They are INCREDIBLY strict about 5mph and I LOVE THAT! My 8 year old can run around and be a kid at camp like I was without me being panicked. They even have events once a month. They are constantly adding and upgrading around the campground. Everything from walk to primitive sites to full hook ups and dry cabins.
Highly recommend for a long or short get away.
Scout,
RangerI stayed at two sites at Ohiopyle and I’ll say it again—picking the loop that best fits your equipment is key to enjoying your camping experience here. Not all loops are created equal! My second, and heavy favorite, was my site on Ivy Road. The sites were had more privacy and most importantly, were far more level and easier to access. This loop/road is also more central to the rest of the campground, the dumpsters, and had access to much nicer (still a smidge dingy), larger bathrooms. The cell service here was also decent as this road is in a less hilly area within the campground.
While the park and town are excellent for exploring, I found that the highlight of my trip was Fallingwater—it’s a Frank Lloyd Wright house (personally, I think his best) that offers tours and I was shocked to find that it was less than 10 minutes away. If you need a break from hiking and the river, I cannot recommend it enough!
RangerMy happiness with Ohiopyle SP started off rocky from the start due to two factors, which can also impact your stay:
No matter what Google Maps tells you, try to avoid taking Sugarloaf Rd into the park—it’s a very steep dirt road that is not at all direct, despite popping you out in the middle of town (which was widely surreal as I landed in the middle of some kind of festival), but most importantly there is no cell service which is frustrating when you’re unexpectedly routed down backroads as night approaches
which loop you stay in really matters, more so than many other parks I’ve stayed at. My first few nights were on Hickory road and many were small and wildly unleveled—I saw one individual give up trying to get his small RV backed in due to the site being a basin shape. So you truly need to do your research and find a site that fits your equipment. The bathroom in this leg was also small and dingy, to put it nicely, but serviceable. Personally, I would not stay in Hickory again.
That said, this is a beautiful park with phenomenal hiking and water adventures. The town (which is in the park) was also quaint and lovely, with a variety of food and shopping options.
GuideI don’t know what it is about this place but whenever I’m here all my worries are gone! I can honestly say IM RELAXED!!! I’m relaxed- whether I’m riding the golf cart eating ice cream, playing in the arcades, walking around in the campground store, playing mini golf, fishing from our campsite, watching the doggy’s play in the dog park. I’m honestly happy here!!! My favorite sites are by the lake or river. The bathhouses were clean!! We don’t swim but the pools looked great!! I’m always sad to leave but super excited to come back!! I have a video review on my YouTube channel @UpOnTheRidge304 about this campground - feel free to check it out.

Fishing at small lakes and ponds: Mirror Lake RV Camping & Fishing offers access to a fishing lake where success comes quickly. "Kids were fishing and pulling fish out as soon as they put their line in!! So much fun for them," notes a visitor to Fox Den Acres Campground.
Explore hiking trails: Multiple trail systems connect the region's parks and lakes. "We've stayed here multiple times throughout several summers. The lake is great for fishing with plenty of hiking trails. There's plenty to do in surrounding areas from Ft Ligonier to the shops in the town," reports a camper at Keystone State Park Campground.
Visit historical attractions: The area's rich history is accessible from most campgrounds. "The visitors center at Keystone was beautiful and informative of the local history which was very interesting how the park first came about," shares one reviewer about the educational opportunities available.
Paddle on calm waters: Rental options for canoes and paddle boats are available at several lakes. "We rented a pontoon boat for one afternoon and explored the lake, which was awesome," explains a visitor to Yellow Creek Campground.
Private wooded sites: Many campgrounds offer secluded spaces away from crowds. "There are some very secluded sites," notes a visitor about the hillside campground at Keystone State Park, adding that it "doesn't get near the crowds and it set in the woods."
Clean facilities: Bathhouses and amenities receive regular attention at most parks. "The camp site and bathrooms were clean when we arrived and when we left," reports a camper at Laurel Hill State Park Campground, who appreciated the maintenance standards.
Multiple camping loops with different vibes: Campgrounds often separate pet areas from quiet zones. "There are two main loops in this campground. One that is pet friendly and more of a pitch-your-tent-in-the-yard thing and another that is pet-free and wooded," explains a visitor to Laurel Hill State Park, noting the importance of choosing the right loop.
Access to water activities: Glamping near Blairsville provides water recreation options. "Beautiful. Great for families staying together... Right on the water, clean, and private access to the lake," shares a reviewer at Yellow Creek State Park.
Seasonal operation varies: Most glamping accommodations close during winter months. "We've stayed in 3 of the cabins for 4 days at Yellow Creek State Park... It was beautiful. Right on the water, clean, and private access to the lake. Dog friendly cabins were available," notes a camper describing the seasonal options.
Site conditions differ significantly: Within the same campground, site quality can vary. "Site 26 is our favorite. It has a huge back yard and easy access to the creek," advises a visitor to Mirror Lake RV Camping & Fishing, highlighting the importance of researching specific sites.
Bathroom access varies: Shower facilities aren't universal at all parks. "No water sources in the primitive section, and the shower house is quite a hike from the furthest sites," reports a camper at Fox Den Acres, noting infrastructure limitations.
Park fees fluctuate: Price consistency isn't guaranteed at all properties. "If you like to pay a different price each time you get there, then have fun. I had 3 different prices when I went there last," warns a Yellow Creek visitor about unexpected fee variations.
Look for campgrounds with dedicated activity areas: Organized events keep children engaged. "Wonderful campground. They provide activities almost every evening, making sure everything age range is catered to throughout the week," explains a visitor to Fox Den Acres Campground.
Book hillside sites for more privacy: Certain sections offer better experiences for families. "We stayed at site 43 in the Hillside Loop because we brought our 2 large dogs. Site was very private and relatively flat," recommends a visitor to Kentuck Campground at Ohiopyle State Park.
Consider cabin options: Rustic accommodations provide weather protection for family outings. "We stayed in one of the yurts, and it was perfect for the group of 6 I went with. It dumped rain the first night we were there and the yurt kept us perfectly comfortable and dry," reports a Yellow Creek State Park visitor.
Check hookup locations before arrival: Utility placement might require extra equipment. "The electrical hookups are not played out well like an expensive RV park with the shared power post on the entrance side of the camper. You may want to have an extension for your power cable," advises a camper at Crooked Run Campground.
Reserve pull-through sites when available: These sites simplify arrival and departure. "Large open grassy area. The camp host saw me walking my pups, and as I walked toward the trash can she yelled across the green area from her site 'no dogs in the bathrooms!' Kinda rude, but later she was friendly," reports a visitor about site organization at Laurel Hill State Park.
Watch for site leveling issues: Many campgrounds have uneven terrain. "All sites are gravel; most appeared level, but some did not," notes a Laurel Hill State Park visitor, highlighting the importance of bringing leveling equipment.
