Although this is a KOA Holiday, we used it as a KOA Journey on our way to the Catskills. Not too far from the Interstate & there was no highway noise at the campground.
We arrived right at 5pm, which is when they close up, but Victoria went above & beyond & took us right to our site. Good thing, since we were at the back of a confusing layout.
There are sites in this section that have a partial view of the lake, but they looked like seasonal sites. All the sites looked well cared for. We had a pull through on Chestnut Drive. Y1
If you have kids, most of the activities they would be interested in are at the front entrance. If you don't have a golf cart, you may have to drive to the front for the pool, mini golf, basketball court & jumping pillow.
It doesn't look like they have many cabins.
There's another playground in the back that was getting used. There was supposed to be a splash pad, but I didn't see an evidence of that.
The bathroom/shower house are duel toilet/showers. Not my favorite, but we didn't have any trouble getting in.
We used the back exit on our way out, which was convenient. At least we didn't have to go back to the front entrance!
BTW, Victoria is a treasure! She's friendly & goes above& beyond for customer service. We really appreciated the time she took with us.

There really aren’t words! Everything is clean, quiet and serene! The people that work there we super friendly! Can’t wait to go back!

Quiet park. Some road noise from campsite J100 but US route 322 is lightly traveled. Typical tent site with fire ring and picnic table. Across street from bath house with shower and toilet which was clean.
ScoutWe will definitely be back. The sites are very level, so setup is a breeze. There's plenty of spots to go fishing and hang out by the lake, plus different things to do in the area.
ScoutCampground was clean and well maintained. Only issue we ran into was that the fire pit was not cleaned out after the last folks. It wasn’t a huge deal but there we had quite a bit of debris and wet ash to deal with. The wash houses scattered throughout are new and very clean. The one across from our site had 4 private bathrooms with a toilet and shower. Very well patrolled and tons of stuff to do within biking/running/driving distance.

We stayed in site C6 one of the reservable sites. Every site has plenty of room. Campground overall is quiet. And most if not all of the full hookups are pull throughs. But seems many of the tent sites are on grades. Couple beautiful walk in tent sites right on the water. Plenty of nice hiking trails. Great beach for kids.
TravelerStayed here two separate times summer of '23. Each time we look loved it! The sites are HUGE, plenty of space for our 30' TT, truck, and screen house. Nice large parks, mini-golf, and jump pad. Only complaint I had was the pool was undersized for the number of sites they have and it is in need of some repairs to fix tiles that are falling off. Some great views of the lake and surrounding area. Night sky was perfect for viewing stars!

My family stayed over Memorial Day weekend. It was so much fun. They have a lot of activities. My favorite was the disc golf. Their course is really nice!
Guide
Lots of RVs, not many tents. Small section in the back of the campground for tents. Also the worst part is being so close to the gas station/truck stop. Very bright lights on all night. Also close to the highway so there is constant noise! Most likely won't return.
LegendNothing special. Sites are not level and are close to each other. They do have a pool but that’s it.
ScoutVery nice,quite and relaxing. Bring your family friends and animals and have a nice time
TravelerHubby and I rented an RV and stayed one night at oil creek campground. We really liked it and wish we could’ve stayed longer. Would definitely go back if we’re back in the area. The owner was such a sweetheart too, very friendly and informative. Two Thumbs up👍🏻
TravelerAffordable, lots of things to do like fishing, hiking trails,, canoeing kayaking, clean shower house, good signal for Verizon,
RangerOn our way to Cape Cod, we stayed for one night here. We arrived just before sunset on a rainy evening. Our site was a pull-through by request, and the beautiful surroundings of greenery and dew with shimmering sunshine had us wishing we could stay longer. Our site was large and simple, but just what we had wanted. Very kind folks all around.
TravelerGreat campground! Woodsy and private with great views. Clean bathrooms with hot showers and fast WiFi. Staff was very nice.
RangerWe booked a waterfront site and were disappointed to learn that was not actually the case. There was a little bit of a swampy area behind us but the lake was further away. We could walk to it through the woods from our site on a trail that went behind some other sides. They need to label them truthfully. The actual site wasn't bad. Bathrooms were nice and clean.
ScoutShen staying at two mile you will find the sites are separated by trees and offer you your own little private area. The prices are good and you truly are in nature.
TravelerClean facilities, friendly, wooded, and many rentals including 2 yurts.

Our site was not level. Bathrooms were not lockable and therefore felt unsafe.
ScoutA decent state campground. Extremely nice during weekdays, but overly crowded on weekends.
Highly recommend full hookup, unless you like waiting in line for bathroom / shower.
TravelerFriendly , helpful staff, beautiful and spacious sites. A lot to do in the area.
Guide
The camp ground is not bad. Nice place over all. The pool is very nice, playgrounds for the kids and activities to do. Very friendly staff. However the seasonal campers seem to have some sort of entitlement. That is very annoying. Very loud and obnoxious which unfortunately has ruined our stay. I’m not one to complain and can tolerate a lot but this really is a problem. Hope they change it around since the in and out camper brings more money to the campground than a seasonal.
TravelerView of Lake Erie was great. Upper sites very unlevel. Zero cell service. Zero WiFi. Zero internet. Very low water pressure. Entry road was filled with LOTS of holes & ruts which were filled with mud mud & more mud.
GuideThis campground is very well taken care of, and huge! We did not take advantage of all of the amenities available, but the bathroom was great. It was a single room with toilet and shower - and it was incredibly clean.
We opted for a premium pull-thru site, which included furniture and a concrete patio. This is not our typical type of camping, but I knew that the views would be beautiful, so we splurged. Our old, vintage Scotty camper was probably a bit out of place in this section of the campground, be we enjoyed being there regardless.
ScoutMy family has visited Pymatuning park many times now and try have used a variety of spots at Jamestown campground. It is large, offering multiple options for campsite types. It’s a standard PA state park campground offering bathrooms (bathrooms are older, but are being renovated July-August 2021) showers, fire ring, picnic table, etc. Campsites J-106 thru J-116 are well shaded, but are alongside route 322 which maintains consistent traffic at all hours. If the noise is not an issue, this run of tent sites are well spaced, and offer easy access to the facilities. To be away from the road (and nearer to the lake) sites J-120 thru J-128 are closer together but can be quieter (depending on your neighbors…)
The beach area is clean, and raked often. It has a playground and volleyball court. On Friday’s they have a family movie night at the amphitheater. Most Saturdays in the summer they offer crafts and activities for kids at the beach.
The surrounding area also has plenty of activities to offer: Local restaurants, ice cream, hiking, kayaking/boating, fishing, etc.
TravelerThe owner, male portion, is very crabby and annoying. Got poison ivy off of their firewood, the store is very understocked, and the place is pricey. We stayed 1 night out of 3, family emergency.
Example: as we are eating outside, my fork literally in my mouth, the owner yelled from his golf cart full of drinking buddies, that I needed to move my truck behind my trailer, other people would enjoy the view. Please bear in mind, that my truck and trailer combined are shorter than the two monster class A's next to me. As I put my fork down and went to move said truck, he and his drunk buddies pull up behind me to chat with someone for several minutes stopping me from moving like he wanted me to.
TravelerOverall a comfortable One night stay. Sites were tight. Three bath houses available. Depending on where you’re at - it’s a very fast run if u need it quickly.
Staff was very accommodating to our requests and needs. Professional. Employees were friendly and helpful.
Grounds were kept nicely.
