This is one of our favorite campground that we visit often. We love that the campground has their own beach so it’s not over crowded with the public. Near the beach there is a nice playground near shade for parents to watch. I really like that there are trails from the camp loops to the beach. The bathhouses are always clean and well stocked. The camp sites are tucked into the woods with plenty of room for camping.
We love this park! We have camped and stayed in a camper cabin. We love camping in the trees that provide some privacy. At night time, the owls hoot away. The bathhouses are pretty good, not the best but are always clean. I like that the campground is dog friendly, but didn’t realize the park is not. The waterfall trails are beautiful and a sight to explore. Definitely recommend this park!
Huge campground. Lots of activities. But very run down. Lots of permanent RVs. All parked very close. On the river but totally overgrown so no real view. Safe for one night. Overpriced at $70
We loved the swimming and fishing in this park. Awesome Sandy swim beach and roped off area in the water made it great for keeping an eye on the kids while they swam. We had site 59 and are tent campers. This site was on an incline so the cots we brought were pretty miserable to sleep on. This spot was in its own little wooded cubby hole so it gave us a little more privacy but we thought that a lot of these sites were much too close together. We plan to scope out other sites to find a more level and more private option. Overall we really loved the park itself and will be back!
My wife and I tent camped here for a weekend to go rafting. The whole campground sits in kind of a valley along a creek running into the reservoir. It's kind of spread out but seemed nice. Our tent sites were very nice sitting on raised mounds so you would stay fairly dry if it rained. It looks like it may have been a state park at one time, judging by the layout and bathrooms. Not a bad camp at all.
Campsites are just the right size. Very level and nicely done. Sites have electric hookup a picnic table and a fire ring. Wood is available for purchase at the office when you come In. Bathhouse is located in the center of the campsites
Campground was well maintained. Tent pads were great. It rained on us but tent pads were elevated enough that we stayed dry. It is so peaceful and serene there. Hiked the trails to the waterfalls and had a great time. Firewood was cheap. Bathrooms were good and clean.
First time here with great sights and plenty to do. Vast park and trails galore.
This campground checks all our boxes. Beautiful scenery, quiet location, spacious campsites, full RV hookups, well-placed fire rings, dog park, nice large bathhouses, polite staff, and Wi-Fi that works.
This is located about an hour away from my home, so we plan on making this our go-to for quick camping getaways throughout the year.
Highly recommended. Definitely worth checking out.
Booked for 5 nights to have an opportunity to explore the Bedford, PA area. Great access to Flight 93 Memorial, local covered bridges, Fort Bedford Historic Fort, and many other attractions. Loop D was quiet with ample space between sites that provided privacy. Bathhouse was clean and used for showers. Dump and water fill station easy to access on your way in or out. Verizon signal good enough for streaming.
We do a lot of dispersed camping but we spoiled ourselves with this spot. It was $50 for a tent site but I have never used a cleaner camp shower or seen so many amenities on a campground. They were also very accommodating of our late check-in as we travel across the country.
We liked this campground we stayed an extra night. We are in a camper van so hiking trails accessible by foot from the campground is a plus for us so we don’t have to pack up each time we venture out. The Black Water Falls were also within walking distance and beautiful to see.
This campground is very well maintained. Bathrooms and showers are very clean. Sites are spacious and well placed.
Caters mostly to RVs & people with boats. The walk-to tent sites are mostly in an open grass field with some trees for shade but clear visibility to adjacent sites. Site 9A is a pleasant tent site with a bit more privacy & located along the creek. It is connected to 10A by a short little path & separated from 8A by a small grassy area. Thick vegetation around 9A & 10A with dense poison ivy encroaching on both camp sites. Seemed to be a periodic sewer gas smell, maybe from septic outfall or the RV dump station a little ways off. Camp store & staff were nice. Bathrooms were fine. Easy access to the lake & nearby marina.
We visited here again in June and loved it just as much as past visits. Our site 27 was very tight and narrow, but pretty level as were most of the sites I saw. We had an RV and a tent on it. We could still use the fire pit though. Our relatives were in site 28 which was incredibly large with lots of extra space for corn hole. Our friends were in site 29 which had good space as well. Our favorite site is 15, a pull through, but that’s hard to get. This time we walked the trail around Lake Habib which was 5.3 miles. We stopped at the hotel/casino for a drink about half way around. The beach area there was not too crowded. The campground has their own swim beach with a great playground, nature center, and camp store. Locally, we went into Cumberland which is about a 10-15 min drive and tasted the wines at Charis winery. The Cumberland Railroad museum was open for its last day ever. It’s closing down. There is a brewery and the C&O canal towpath there as well. Weather was perfect with mild temps and a cool breeze.
Preface: if your main objective is activities for children, you have come to the right place. This place is loud and full of kids.
We booked a site but chose not to pay to select which one. All the pictures looked great! We ended up on a grassy hill in the back. The spot was so unlevel there were 19 inches between my bottom step and the ground. This site was the same price as level ones closer to activities.
Also bathrooms were outdated. They had older residential toilets that plugged constantly. The day we left 2 of the 3 in our nearest bathroom were out of order.
Aside from all the above, the Dog Park is awesome. It’s the size of a real, normal dog park. The ice cream on site is also a nice perk.
Great State Park with the perfect little tent camping loop. Only 12 spots. Gravel road/loop.
Decently private and not on top of each other with tons of vegetation all around.
Walk-in sites but not too far and they have carts you can use. Gravel pads perfectly level and very neat and clean fire pits as well as a separate grill at every sight.
The bath house is super clean and they have separate private showers!
Hiking, fishing, breathtaking views, tons to do in the area!
Definitely recommend camping here!
We had site #9, but 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 all looked really awesome! 12 is the smallest. 10 is the furthest from parking lot.
One of the best campgrounds I have stayed at so far the pond is nice and has a 1/2 mile walking path around it with trees and beaches to stop and sit dog park is big and has a place for small or large dogs there is 3 play grounds all different and all well kept
We visited this campsite in mid March. The sites are a little close together, but it was quiet. There is biking and hiking directly from the campsite.  the bathrooms and showers are very clean, and there is a laundry room which we did not use.  this campground is really close to Shenandoah national park. We chose to stay here instead because there are water and electric hook ups and a dump site on premise. 
This is a very well managed and maintained campground. I arrived after the check-in station was closed. But in the rack was an envelope for me that contained my parking pass, a campground map, a state park map, and a flyer giving instructions for avoiding black bear incidents. There was also a placard fixed to the picnic table at my campsite with bear precautions. I did not see any bears!
The bathrooms are very clean and well maintained. My campsite was roomy and level. The views of the river are magnificent.There are numerous hiking trails that vary in difficulty and distance.
There is no Wi-Fi and I had no cell service with Verizon.
We loved our stay at a tent site on the river in June 2022. It was peaceful, and we spent a lot of our stay in the water. Will definitely be coming back! The staff was nice, service good, and bathrooms adequate.
I have stayed at this park many times over the years and it is always clean and well-maintained. This park is suitable for winter camping as well with fully functional bathhouses throughout the wintertime. The park has a lake and store along the beachfront area. This property is also part of the Rocky Gap Resort which has golf and a casino.
We really like this state park campground. It’s right off I-70 (but you wouldn’t know it), it’s located in a big beautiful valley with a lake, and lots to do. The campground is nicer than average, with very large sites that feel very secluded. Some sites have 30amp electric. It was winter when we visited, but the campground has its own swimming beach, which is great because the main beach gets very crowded. It’s just minutes from Cumberland and there is plenty to do. Staff was great!
Booked a cabin for thanksgiving and it was almost entirely empty but for the other couple cabins. Snow on the ground and the Canton Falls hike was super busy. The outdoor sink has been removed (freeze prep I imagine) which was the only trouble we had. Our first cabin experience was otherwise excellent. So many stars were visible on clear nights. Weekend hunting could be heard every morning. If we needed a supply the camp store was open 8-4 with minor provisions but small towns were about 25 minutes away. Not super far from Deep Creek so we may try again in warmer weather.
I stayed here for two nights in October of 2021. Even mid-week the campground was crowded. However, even without reservations, I got a very good campsite. The parking spots are generally level and the sites all have tables and fire rings. I did not use electric or water.
The bathrooms/showers are showing some age but they are well maintained and clean.
One of the things that gave me a lot of fun was watching the white tail deer stroll through the campsites at sunset! And, Blackwater Falls are a short drive or a long walk away.
Staff was very friendly. Loved that site backed right up to forest. Easy walk to falls and other trails.
Virginia has some of the best state parks, including water and electric at sites. This park has some good hiking and river access. No play ground for kids, but plenty of other outdoors.
Also in the time of crowding, I always find a couple sites open here..
