"I’ve been camping here with my family for close to ten years now and we always have a blast."
"This campground offers a handful of trails easy to moderate. Pretty lake with ducks everywhere, as well as geese. Saw many deer through out our stay, even some beaters."
"Nice pool close by and picnic shelters. They now have a disc golf course and plenty of trails. Camp store needs more options and there is WiFi there. Old orchard is the only camp section with WiFi."
"It’s close to home but still a fun camping experience!"
"In my opinion the best sites are the boat in tent camping sites down the hill by the lake. The sites also run along a gravel rode that can be used to hike in."
"It's been a few years since I've visited Yatesville Lake State Park Campgrounds but it used to be a staple of my summer. The campsites are a LONG distance from each other."

TravelerWe very much enjoyed our stay here. The host was friendly and helpful. The site was level and the fire pit and picnic table were appreciated. It is a very peaceful and relaxing spot. There are some easy trails cleared in the woods that we enjoyed as well We hope to visit again soon.
TravelerWe enjoyed our stay very much. The host was friendly and communicated well. The site was pretty level and the table and fire pit were much appreciated.. It’s a very quiet and peaceful location. If you plan to walk in the woods, bring some tick repellent!
ScoutI love this campground as the nostalgia is strong for me. The family has been camping here for years and years but now it's my turn to take my little family camping and I'm so thankful to give them the same memories I was able to have!
East fork is always clean, polite, well maintained and kid friendly. We are very thankful to live just about an hour away for impromptu camping trips!
TravelerWe were surprised to find the store open when we arrived at 6, but woman inside was a trip. She could not seem to figure out how to do anything and talked to herself the whole time. Check in took about 20-30 minutes! She was very friendly though and explained how to get to our site. Tried to get propane- first she said she didn't know how to do it, then she decided she did, but wound up being clueless. She did let us change our site because it was so far from the bathroom. We had to go down a crazy steep narrow hill to get to the lower area. Thought it might be quiet but wound up on top of a busy road. Ok for an overnight. Huge street lights over us. Sites a little junky looking.
ScoutThe spots are pretty close, but expected from what the map showed when we booked. While they are close there is enough room to make yourself at home. Nice new picnic tables and clean fire pits! It rained while we camped and there was some water pooling in areas.
ScoutThis campground is well suited for groups of 3 RVs or less traveling together. The view is fantastic, WIFI is provided(I did not use) with 50 and 30 amp service available. Water pressure is good and the sites are new. Wildlife may visit you from time to time and the area is quiet and secluded. A community fire pit and gas grill are onsite. Firewood is provided and the site is well maintained. The owners are very friendly and quick to respond. We will use again.
RangerGreat campground close to the lake and golf course. Some unleveled sites but overall a good place. Some of the water hookup can be a bit far as well.
GuideThe sites are tight and we were unlucky to stay when they were fully booked. Lots of noise and talking late into the night. It's all gravel and grass. Probably wouldn't seek this out again, but it was ok for one night.
ScoutYou're parked with rigs on either side of you, but it's clean and friendly with kids playing. It is a neat spot on the river and easy inexpensive stop when traveling through. 50 amp hook up and water. Porta potties.

Swimming options: Huntington / Fox Fire KOA features a swimming pond with added entertainment. "They had so much for kids to do: a swimming pond with inflatables, gem mining, banana bikes, and more. They showed a movie at 9pm on a big inflatable movie screen outside," shares a camper.
Disc golf course: Old Orchard Campground at Beech Fork has added recreational amenities beyond water activities. "They now have a disc golf course and plenty of trails. Camp store needs more options and there is WiFi there. Old orchard is the only camp section with WiFi," reports a camper.

Seasonal decorations: The regional campgrounds embrace seasonal themes. "We spent a week camping at Beech Fork. If you are looking for laid back, kayaking, fire building, kids playing, fishing, camping trip, then this is the place to be. It is very safe for kids. The park ranger makes his rounds quite frequently," notes a visitor.
Kid-friendly environment: Falls Campground prioritizes family experiences. "We avoid many state parks due to the amount of rules and being stacked right on top of others. Once we discovered Falls, we only camp here. Kids can be seen from all spots, all over the campground. Very family friendly," shares a regular visitor.
Escape from crowds: Weekday camping offers a completely different experience. "This campground was recommended by family it is exceeded their wonderful description. We had a large site on the water and it was a fabulous place to relax and do some hiking. An unexpected gem of peaceful relaxation," reports a Four Coves visitor.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly across campgrounds. "The bathrooms are dated but fairly clean. Verizon does not work here but ATT does. There is wifi in the main campground at the boathouse but that is all," explains a visitor to Moxley Branch.
Seasonal rate increases: Moxley Branch Campground and other locations have seen significant price increases. "TENT camping with a simple firepit…… $63 PER NIGHT!!! it used to be $15. Ridiculous for a bare spot to pitch a TENT," notes a frustrated camper.
Highway noise levels: Some campgrounds experience traffic sounds. "The only downside was that the tent sites are close to the interstate, so there was A LOT of road noise all night. Otherwise, it was a great camping experience!" mentions a Huntington/Fox Fire KOA visitor.
Site spacing variations: Campground layouts differ significantly. "The sites are not on top of each other. You won't even hear your neighbors. The sites are also a LONG distance from the parking areas. Be prepared to pack in any gear you bring (and also pack it out)," explains a Yatesville Lake visitor.
Pool access fees: Budget for extra costs at some locations. "There is a pool very close but you still have to pay if you are camping there - at least discount the price to campers. There is beach access but it takes 30-45 minutes to drive to it," notes a Four Coves camper.
Evening entertainment options: Lake View Campground and neighboring facilities offer organized activities. "Our Spring time excursion at Beech Fork was delightful. All of the cherry trees and foliage are full in bloom and lovely. They have a nice Park Head quarters with a general store that has grocery items, firewood, and cool souvenirs. There was even a retro arcade with games, air hockey and claw machines which the kids enjoyed," shares a visitor.
Child safety considerations: Multiple campgrounds prioritize security. "If you want a place for your kids to play and ride bikes, this is it. Campsites are a little close in some areas but when you are here, you are family!" explains a Falls Campground visitor.
Special event camping: Certain seasons feature enhanced programming. "They also have lots of organized activities for families. They also offer a fantastic Halloween themed October. We love the experience each and every year!" notes another Falls Campground regular.
Water hookup availability: Confirm utilities before booking. "We didn't have a water hookup at our site and the bathrooms were older but everything was very nice and clean. Once the weekend rolled around it got pretty packed," shares a Four Coves RVer.
Site leveling requirements: Preparation for uneven terrain helps. "Camping: As far as camping goes there's a little variety. On top of the hill there is camper sites with full hook ups which is actually quite spacious and spaced out from other sites compared to other campgrounds, but some sites are better than others of course," notes a Yatesville Lake visitor.
Weather preparation: The region experiences seasonal fluctuations. "Our site was muddy but it did rain 2 out of 3 days. Site 32. The staff was very pleasant and helpful," reports a Huntington/Fox Fire KOA camper who dealt with wet conditions.
Shared hookup arrangements: Check utility layouts when booking. "The hookups are a little strange. You share pedestals in many of the sites. And the arrangement is a little strange but it works," explains another KOA visitor who adjusted to the setup.
