LegendWe absolutely loved our stay at this park once we changed sites. We have a 35’ TT and there was no way it was going to fit in the site we originally booked. Luckily it was opening weekend and the rangers and super accommodating! We moved over one site and it made all the difference. The sites are spacious with a ton of tree coverage. Easy access to the dump station as you exit. It’s not directly on the lake but there is a ton of parking and easy access points.
LegendThere are no amenities here besides a picnic table and a fire ring, but the sites are so spread out that it’s basically like dispersed camping but on a paved road. Which is like the magic ticket to enjoyable camping!
I reserved site 125 which was right across from the creek. The creek had some pools deep enough to sit in and get fairly wet.
It was very quiet other than fireworks a couple times. We saw no wildlife until we left the site in the morning and saw some deer on the road. Though we did have a spectacular firefly display at night.
A lot of litter left behind by previous campers. No cell service. Beautiful forest. Be prepared for mosquitoes and gnats.
TravelerWe'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. Great place to spend the weekend
GuideTiny, but well maintained primitive campground. A bit loud at weekends due to boaters on slip nearby. NO potable water, clean pit toilet
GuideFirst time here but will be back. Can't believe how much space is between each site. You're close enough to see other campers but far enough away to feel you have you own sections of woods. Site 262 in the Ironwood or I loop of the campground. These sites don't have any hook ups but are suitable for campers and small RVs as well as tents. Bathhouse is in the center of the loop.
A fair amount of gnats and other bugs but no mosquitoes to speak of.
Clean, well run camp store. Nice beach area with volley ball nets. Lots of paddle boards and canoes for rent.
The 5 mile hike around Lake Habeeb is enjoyable. Great way to see all sides of the park. Across the lake from the campground is a casino and resort.
A lot to do here!
TravelerVery quiet clean facilities quiet hours are from 9pm-8am our tent site was more like an RV site as we had a hill side but each site has a 30ft concrete pad to park on so I just put our tent on the concrete pad site 96
GuideRocky Gap is best earlier and later in the year. It's less crowded. The campground beach is fun. There is a 5 mile trail that goes all around the lake. Lots of lake to paddle. Easy to get to from I-70
ScoutVery clean and quiet. The people selling firewood were the best! Site 166 is not flat what so ever. We recommend checking out cucumber falls, which isn’t terribly far away.
ScoutThis is our first stay at this park. We have a wonderful, big electric and water site. Our camper doesn't have a bathroom so we need the bathhouse. There isn't one on every loop, but this one does have a restroom. The restroom and all the bathhouses badly need updating. The paint is peeling, they smell like mildew and the siding is rotting on them. They are clean but the creepy and gross factor are too much. There are also very limited sites that you can have a pet with you. So a nice place but if those two things are important to you just be aware
