Very nice COE campground

Great staff at gate. Sites are very well spaced. Half full at best in mid September. Nice bike and walking trail, and view of the dam. Interesting history. We had electric. Clean restrooms and showers. I loved the space around us and it was really quiet. Agree with another reviewer that it would be a great dark sky park. That is the reason for four instead of five stars.

Terrible

We camped here two nights to visit the park. It was awful. Too close together. Couldn’t even relax outside. I have to say it was the worst campground of our two month trip. Wished we would have stayed at Cottonwood. You can use the showers here. The town itself was mostly closed up, tacky gift shops. Blah. The National park was wonderful. Do not stay here.

Poorly maintained

We camped here three nights. Sites are very close together, not cleaned up, and rules are not enforced. Even though we managed to get a site on the lake, we had zero privacy. People parked any way they wanted, making for a total lack of space. I would not stay here. Again.

Nice state park

We had a nice site on the lake. We had a great view. Space was OK and they had planted privacy screens around the site. Nice touch! Quiet neighbors. Great sunset view where campers gather near creek. Rangers were responsive when one camper decided to blast music. They quickly asked them to turn it down. Very nice! We went to Niagara Falls. Use your park pass to park at Niagara state park. Beautiful ride to falls along the parkway. We had a nice campfire every night. Firewood was seasoned. Washrooms were clean and adequate.

Needs attention

This campground suffers from a lack of TLC. Not much attention to facilities, trash… noise from highway terrible. We managed a lake site but no privacy. People parked any which way and it was annoying. Too close together. Only one wash house for entire campground. Very undersized. Luckily our neighbors were on the quiet side. We did enjoy walks along the shore. We loved our hike in Pictured Rocks. Location was nice for that. Not much in town. Grocery store if you need anything.

Crowded and tons of dogs

I have 3 stars because we reserved a spot on the lake. Great view. All the sites are jammed together with little privacy. One wash house with 4 showers(shared by both sexes) for entire campground. Crowded with tons of dogs, that seem to bark non stop. Off leash along rocks barking at people. Wish people would be a bit more respectful with their dogs. Understand this is one of the few campgrounds in the Porkies with electric hookup. We did a lot of day trips so that made up for the crowded camp sites.

Close to rails to trails, quiet and peaceful

We go here every year. Electric hook up, and very nice tent sites along creek. Does get crowded on nice weekends but mostly families. A short drive down to pine creek rails to trails. Beautiful ride through creek canyon. Nice little store at entrance, and several hikes from park.

Beautiful

Very quiet park, well spaced sites. We really enjoyed this park. We took the ferry to Cumberland Island from St. Mary’s for the day and hiked. Highly recommend doing this trip. Also nice nature trials within park, not well maintained but we enjoyed them.

Beautiful but noisy

We stayed here for three nights in March. Beautiful private sites, moss covered trees and great hiking trails in park with nice nature center and little store. The sites along the outer road near road back to a golf course. Avoid if you don’t want to wake up at 6am to power tools, very loud power tools. being used for at least an hour or two, every morning. You can’t see them but can hear them! We loved our site, so private and large, but the noise drowned out the birds and disturbed our nature time. Too bad. We drove to Savannah, very close, and rode our bikes around. Visited Wormslee, gorgeous alley of live oak.

Beach and nice hiking trail

We stayed here for 3 nights. Our site, 19, backed to picnic shelter so avoid it. One large group had a party in there one night and pick up trucks were literally in our fire ring area. But there are great hiking trails from the campground that go near tidal ponds and good birding. We were here in mid March. Well spaced sites. Lots of noisy dogs. I might add but that seems the case everywhere now. Not sure why dog owners feel entitled to have barking dogs all day but that is why I bring ear plugs. Beach access is great, can walk for a mile or two with no condos!

Beautiful hiking

No hook ups and bathrooms can get dirty. Sites are fairly private. Lake is great for kayaks and the falls hiking trail is amazing.

Great state park

Bring your bikes and kayaks. Camped here numerous times. Some sites full hook up, and some more private than others. Nice bike loop around lake, many hiking trails, beach to swim and watch sunset. Does get crowded because it is popular. Lower lake campground is less crowded but sites close together and not as nice a view.

Kayak and bird heaven

On the Bay, a few electric sites. Clean restrooms. Nice dock for boats and great kayak trails. Biking is fun around the old towns nearby.

Beautiful

Bathrooms are undersized and not cleaned regularly, but otherwise, gorgeous trees campground with hiking and bike trial nearby. Electric hookup only in some sites. Crowded on summer weekends but not unbearable. Hike to the falls, see the boulder filed and bring bikes! Lehigh gorge rails to trails is a short drive.

best place ever

biking, kayaking, hiking. some full hook up sites. one of my favorite places. old CCC museum and ranger programs. great place for a long weekend.

Beautiful area, quiet and nice spacious sites

Close to Pine Creek bike trail. Nice bar at entrance with live music we enjoyed. Peaceful and quiet
