Large Well-Run COE

We arrived at this very nice COE with no issues, easy to find. The check in office was not manned but had a sign stating to go directly to your site. As we arrived at back-in site 67(Beech Loop) with FHUs, one of the camp hosts put a tag and campground(CG) info on our site post. The cement pads are pretty much 90 degrees so we had to maneuver a few times to get onto the pad the way we wanted. The road was fairly wide with no obstacles in the way when we swung our 39’ fifth wheel and F450 truck around. There were no issues with utilities as they were pretty much at the middle of the pad. As with most COEs, the water pressure was good(used a reducer) and we had no problems with the 50 AMP service. There is no WiFi in this CG but we got 4 bars on Verizon. We also received 4 OTA channels with one being a major network. There are a lot of mature trees in the park so satellite could be iffy depending on your site. Site 67 has plenty of yard in the front but that’s shared with the bath house so there’s lots of foot traffic back and forth. Also this site has no shade from the afternoon sun. We noted that sites sit so you're facing the next loop's sites and you’re basically staring at each other. A lot of folks tended to sit around outside their site all day“watching.” Not sure if its a tendency in this area or just how the sites are laid out. The Hawthorn Loop bathhouse had 2 washers and dryers but only 1 washer was in service during our 6 day stay. Camp hosts and regulars go into Wellsboro to do their laundry. The park’s huge boat ramp is at the end of Beech loop, which is convenient for launching large or small boats plus kayaks. The main CG is a mix of FHU and electric with water only sites. A mile farther down the lake is the Pine Camp loop, which is dry camping. There is no bathhouse in Pine Camp, just vaulted toilets and a water spigot. We noticed that Pine Camp does have sites that will take large rigs but the larger sites right on the lake have some slope to them. There’s a camp store near the main CG loops that has a pretty good menu including burgers and ice cream though we did not try anything. The store also sold ice, wood, sodas and chips plus a few sundries such as duck tape, bug spray, and fishing worms but no milk, bread, etc. Suggest you tour Wellsboro, PA about 20 minutes away. Cool little historic town with a nice park, shops, and restaurants. If you want major amenities such as Walmart or Lowes, go to Mansfield, PA or Corning, NY both about 30 minutes away. Pag-Omar Farmers Market at the Wellsboro junction is a great place to get fresh fruits/vegetables and they have great sandwiches for lunch. Just don't order with double meat because they put plenty on for a regular order. We really liked this CG and would definitely come back again, but we would not stay in site 67 due to its location near the bathhouse and afternoon sun.
