Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Mill Run

US Army Corps of Engineers

We had such a relaxing time there. The swimming lake was perfect and they had canoes and kayak rentlas on site. We are avid tent campers and loved that we had a very private and secluded spot. The bathrooms were awesome and kept very clean. Having firewood and ice at the front along with a small store was also a bonus. We will be back! 

Great place!!

Originally we booked a "creekside" campsite. Which was especially disappointing, as it was a tiny gravel lot, hardly big enough for two small tents, a picnic table, and to park our car. Luckily we were able to switch to the tent only area due to some cancellations. 

  

The tent only areas are okay, but the campground overall is meant for RV's and campers. Tent folks are better off elsewhere. There wasn't much to redeem it, except the nice shower houses and the helpful staff.

Eh, at Best

This is a smallish campground and there is nothing at all nice about it except for its proximity to Ohiopyle and surrounding area. Unfortunately the lake was dried up- which the folx at the reservations site warned us about - so the campground was pretty meh without that. Of all the campgrounds we’ve been to, people here were the least friendly outside of 1-2 people. This is typical mountain folk with beer bellies trying to out-man themselves sort of place. My guess is that most of them live within a 30 mile radius and have never been anywhere else in the world. Lots of cigarette smoke and my boat is bigger than your boat sort of element here. 🙄🙄🙄. And it’s a fairly small campground but loads of folx have golf carts. And they use them at all hours of the night. At least 3 drove past our site between 4:30 and 6:00 am so every time you fell back to sleep from them driving by another one would come. Presumably to fish in a lake with little water. There are way more attractive and friendly places in this area. If you appreciate all the Laurel Mountains have to offer (e.g., hiking, rafting, biking, natural living) and don’t want to deal with sub average sites, you should look for another spot.
