Autumn Glory at Ricketts Glen

Beautiful waterfalls surrounded by autumn color.

This campground offers full-hookup sites on the small loop section. You may also bring dogs to the small loop section. The Large Loop section is more geared for boondocking smaller trailers and tent campers. No dogs are allowed in that area.

Dogs are allowed on the trail, but are required to be on 6-foot leashes at all times.

The restrooms were clean and convenient. I found the hot water in both the small and large loops to be tepid at best.

Site 135 was perfectly level which made setting up camp easily. The water spigot was hard to operate as it was stiff. So bring along some WD 40 just in case.

The Falls trail is a hard/difficult trail. Although the loop is just 4.1 miles around, there are many stone steps and steep inclines. Bring hiking poles to help with the descent and ascent, along with snacks and water.
