    Campsite, we had a great site. Very secluded, close to restroom.
    Rebecca M.

    Choooooo chooooooo! Hope you're ready for the train! I've been camping here since I was a child. I love how open most of her campsites are (check map before booking) very close to ohiopyle activities, and even has a trail right from the campground that leads you to all of the action. Staff is super friendly, and the bathhouses are very clean. Again, the train... alllll night. Honestly, it's the best place around. Just bring ear plugs :)

    Despite other reviews, I never heard the train! We stayed on lot 120 on ginkgo rd which was smaller than what the pictures portrayed on the website but there was definitely enough room for two of us and my suv. Had a picnic table and a fire ring with a grill plate for cooking. They sell ice and firewood across the street from the campground, cash only. You can bring a hammer for the tent pegs but we just used a rock because as others have stated, the terrain is a bit rocky/harder ground. Wasn't a problem though. No alcohol permitted but you can get away with it, just don't be an obnoxious rude drunk and you'll be fine. No one came around trying to "get cha" if you had booze but also don't advertise it. Tip for people with kids! -site 126 has a little playground on it! Thought that was neat. Yes it's a bit crowded but wasn't really a problem for us, we were gone most of the day as there is so much to do there for the active outdoorsy type. If you're gonna be at your camp site 24/7 then yea I guess the crowdedness could be a problem. Overall, would camp there again!

    This is your basic camp, but its very rustic. You're in the woods on a mountain. They offer sites with and without electric. They also have select sites for those with pets. Restrooms werent bad and also has showers and a dish washing sink. Camp sold firewood and ice, fyi. There are park rangers who go around the campground. A bad thunderstorm hit and they were driving around. I felt safe knowing they were around. Entire state park prohibits alcohol so no drinking allowed. Our tent site was very rocky but we made it work . luckily we had a tire iron to hammer stakes in ground so be sure to bring a hammer. We camped at site 41. It was large and not on top of close sites. Camp is super close to Cucumber Falls. I intend on heading back but would most likely camp at in a yurt. It rained and just wasn't ideal to tent.

    Camping in F Look Walk In Site 105, October 2014
    Kristen H.

    I don't understand these poor reviews bc we just camped there this weekend and everything was lovely. The difference must be that I camped in the "off season" (weekend of October 10) and in the summer, this campground is almost always fully booked and its hard to keep up with the cleaning. I always camp in the Walk In sites (F Loop) bc they are quiet and secluded. Added bonus: this being the pet area, the presence of so many dogs keeps pets away. Every year for my birthday we camp, and I like to get TWO sites up here, so that our party can kind of spread out. Pictures below are sites 107 & 108, and 105 & 103 look identical. These are the 4 best walk in sites. These sites connect to each other. I also have camped in 104 & 106 and while nice, those sites were not as level and were not as secluded. There is a trail that you can take right behind these sites which is nice, and there are bathrooms nearby. The showers are a small hike, but not bad. If you have never camped in the fall I cannot more highly recommend it. There is ice and firewood on hand for purchase, which is very helpful! It was absolutely beautiful this weekend, I am super depressed today is Monday and my trip is over!

    Site #64
    Wes N.

    Had a great time here. This was my first time camping in the Ohiopyle area. Got here midday, picked up some wood which was reasonably priced at the concession spot located right at the entrance. Check in was easy. We were at site #64 which is a walk-in. Was able to park in the lot and there was a few minute slight uphill walk to the site. The bathroom at the base of the walk was semi-clean. Our site was nice and secluded. There was a picnic table and fire ring. We had an eight person tent and a four person tent that easily fit on the site. There was a little access path that put you out on the Great Gorge Trail. It was about a 30-40 minute hike to the Great Allegheny Passage (including a scenic bridge that overlooked the Youghiogheny River) and then the downtown Ohiopyle area.

    The looooong walk to the parking lot from walk-in site #108.
    Iris H.

    We were at walk-in site #108. It is a LONG walk from the parking lot. Be careful when booking the walk-in sites, they may be secluded, but you don't want to be too secluded from the parking! Hauling your gear up to a quarter mile may not be so desirable! We lucked out on check-out day, and the RV on Hickory behind us was gone, so we could just park in that spot and carry a shorter distance. So, yes. The walk-in sites are otherwise fantastic! It's great to be in Ohiopyle, where even when it rains there's stuff to do. Hiking and access to waterfalls for all levels of ability, an the campground isn't too far from any of it. Site #108 is fairly slanted, but has gravel/dirt pads for two tents and a connecting path to 107. All sites have a fire ring and picnic table, and a pole or two to hang stuff/trash from.

    Had a great time camping here. Grounds were clean and quiet. Was a bit hot and humid when we were there, but there's plenty of shade at our campsite. Loved every minute of it.

    Packed in like sardines. This is view from our fire pit to neighbor's. Not even 20 ft. Ridiculous.

    The 24 hour ice and firewood is a super convenient item, but make sure you have cash.

Motoring in my rented SUV through the gorgeous Laurel Highlands region, I had roughly an hour to drive the seven miles between the two homes right through this park. Right in the heart is a most worthwhile stop, Ohiopyle Falls, a twenty-foot waterfall that spans the wide Youghiogheny River over a couple of dramatic levels. The parking lot was huge and pretty empty, and it was a quick stroll to the broad observation decks that jut out over the river. There was a group of kayakers huddled together as they were preparing to navigate the whitewater torrents. The hamlet of Ohiopyle provides a welcome coffee break.

We explained that the State Park Ranger had assigned the site upon checkin and mentioned nothing about a "No Dog Zone". They indicated that since we were checking out the next morning we would have to move. The officers were very nice however them being so heavily armed was a bit unnerving!! In Pennsylvania state parks, dogs are generally not allowed in swimming areas, inside buildings, or in designated non-pet overnight areas like cabins and group tenting areas. They are also prohibited in any area specifically designated as closed to pets. Responsible pet ownership is expected, meaning dogs must be leashed, attended, and their waste must be cleaned up!!! After a seven hour multi state slough we finally arrived at Ohiopyle State Park in PA. Site 139 was an easy back in however due to an afternoon thunderstorm there's no power to the campground upon our arrival but thankfully it came back on a short while ago! We've decided to enjoy a second day exploring the river, local sites etc. Really enjoyed our stay. While the entry roads are a bit tight the facilities were clean plus the staff was amazingly friendly. Highly recommended.

    5 stars for the great and fun experience with the family, but 4 stars for the cabin we stayed in…read more Cabin - we stayed in Cabin 413. It has two bedrooms and each has two bunk beds. The size of the bunk beds were great! Mattress itself wasn't terrible, but wasn't comfy either (not a big deal at all). Each bedroom has one bathroom and shower. The sink is directly across from the bunk beds but the weird thing is that there used to be towel bar holders there - so no places to hang your wash clothes, hand towels etc. The kitchen is nice and has a gas stove, but this did not come with a stove light and fan. Another thing to note is that the deadbolt to the front door had no deadbolt - there was no bolt hub or bolt extension it was honestly the bolt face plate and thumb turn. Good thing the door knob locked with no issues The water park has 4 slides, a pirate water park, 2 pools(one pool had 2 basketball hoops) and arcade. Honestly I wouldn't waste the money in the arcade, but the water park and pools were great! The pool and water park were open from 1100-1900, we got there right when it opened and managed to have 4 lounge pool chairs. Definitely get there when it opens because as it gets later in the day it fills up quick! There were people laying in the grass because all the seats and tables were taken. The food was excellent! We got 20 wings, cheesesteak, grilled cheese, BLT, fries all around $40. The remainder of the time we spent there we cooked our food in the cabin kitchen and outdoor grill. I would recommend renting a golf cart. It's just easier to get around. We took the golf cart to a tractor ride, the playground right near the gate, mini golf, the ice cream shop, and overall was fun to just drive around and explore the campground. This was honestly the perfect small close getaway before the kids went back to school. Definitely enjoyed our stay here and will be back in the future - was heartbroken to see the damage that jellystone had due to the storm.

They said they wouldn't open the snow tubing because it was gonna rain but there was not a cloud in the sky that day. The spots are nice and so was the staff. The restaurant was apparently only open on weekends and when it was the weekend we ordered a pizza and it was burnt. There was fun Easter activities to do while we went such as, candy bar bingo, cookie decorating, and Easter egg hunt. This place would probably have been a 4.5 if anything was open and the food wasn't burnt. Overall I would say go here during the summer to have the best possible experience.

This place is amazing!! A big thanks to Susan D and her list of hiking places for pointing it out! This is not to be missed if you're looking for some outdoor adventure and some great hiking along miles and miles of trails. We drove out here solely to spend a great fall day in the woods. Armed with trail maps we got online we picked out roughly the miles we wanted to hike and started off. What surprised us was the condition of the trails - amazing! Some were pine covered making for soft comfortable walking. Others were moss or grass covered and a few had some loose rock that you had to be careful with. I know this is Laurel Mountain but I was amazed to be hiking through dense forests of spectacular mountain laurel and rhododendron. What a gorgeous place! We were there after all the leaves were gone but we are sure to come back when the place is in bloom or in full fall color. We didn't run into a single person anywhere during our extensive hike ( we enjoyed it so much we went far beyond our initial hiking plan!). If you enjoy hiking and being outdoors, I highly recommend you give Bear Run a try. It's worth the drive!!
