July 4th @ Laurel Hill

Awesome park. Fantastic beach/lake, short rail trail, many great gravel cycling routes and hiking. Lots of other great parks and forests to explore near the park, too. Outpost shop by campground has great CCC history . Site 173 is along a small stream, good shade, would book this site again.

Sinnemahoning SP and Elk SF

Visited early June. Very quiet and clean campground. Check out Park Office/ Wildlife Center, Elk Country in Benezette (Elk Life coffee shop is great). Amazing vistas off Ridge road; great hiking all over. Make your first stop the park office and grab a bunch of maps to see what’s around. The SP itself doesn’t offer a ton of hikes, but lots to explore in the nearby state forests. No cell service at all - a blessing!!!

Pioneer Park

Great family friendly campground. Site 202 is right on a pond , a nice shady spot with lots of space. Next to sewer tank pump station, though. Not a problem but a few truck visits throughout the day so some people might not like that. Lots to do for kids. Very close to several state parks for great hiking and biking. Check out Moo Echo on rt 31 for awesome food!!
