Nice place to stay near Ohiopyle

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.

Primarily RV camping

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.

Great place!!

We had such a relaxing time there. The swimming lake was perfect and they had canoes and kayak rentlas on site. We are avid tent campers and loved that we had a very private and secluded spot. The bathrooms were awesome and kept very clean. Having firewood and ice at the front along with a small store was also a bonus. We will be back!

Eh, at Best

Originally we booked a "creekside" campsite. Which was especially disappointing, as it was a tiny gravel lot, hardly big enough for two small tents, a picnic table, and to park our car. Luckily we were able to switch to the tent only area due to some cancellations.

The tent only areas are okay, but the campground overall is meant for RV's and campers. Tent folks are better off elsewhere. There wasn't much to redeem it, except the nice shower houses and the helpful staff.

No, but thanks

This is a smallish campground and there is nothing at all nice about it except for its proximity to Ohiopyle and surrounding area. Unfortunately the lake was dried up- which the folx at the reservations site warned us about - so the campground was pretty meh without that. Of all the campgrounds we’ve been to, people here were the least friendly outside of 1-2 people. This is typical mountain folk with beer bellies trying to out-man themselves sort of place. My guess is that most of them live within a 30 mile radius and have never been anywhere else in the world. Lots of cigarette smoke and my boat is bigger than your boat sort of element here. 🙄🙄🙄. And it’s a fairly small campground but loads of folx have golf carts. And they use them at all hours of the night. At least 3 drove past our site between 4:30 and 6:00 am so every time you fell back to sleep from them driving by another one would come. Presumably to fish in a lake with little water. There are way more attractive and friendly places in this area. If you appreciate all the Laurel Mountains have to offer (e.g., hiking, rafting, biking, natural living) and don’t want to deal with sub average sites, you should look for another spot.

Busy and crowded

In contrast to the other reviews, we didn’t enjoy this campground very much. We reserved a lakefront site (60) on the end of the loop but there was no view whatsoever; golf carts rode to and from the loop to the lake access area right by our site at all hours of the night; and our neighbors ran their generator a lot. If the water levels had been higher this year, we would have enjoyed this more given the beach/swimming area and dock. If you go and are ok with a rustic site, I would suggest the lakefront sites overlooking the field and beach.

A little crowded, but well-maintained and very comfortable.

Tub Run Road is a rough (but pretty) ride to the campground. Once you hit the property, everything is well-maintained. Roads are easy to navigate and equipment all works well. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Bathhouses are kept clean. Ice and firewood are available on site. Lots of seasonal campers fill their space to the brim with tent garages, so the Creekside loop, at least, feels a little like a suburban street, but still quiet. Creekside sites felt smaller and more crowded than lakeside sites, which open onto the beach and lake. Guests were very friendly and considerate of quiet hours. A number of families were joining across generations and campsites, which was nice. Easy access to local attractions.

Lovely campground for boating and lake life!

We camped here with our RV and boat. We stayed creekside to take advantage of the sewer connections. Had a great time. The seasonal campers are super friendly and fun as are the campground hosts. The boat ramp, slips and trailer storage made it an easy boating/camping vacation spot. Yough lake is small, but fun to explore. Good fishing. The campground is very clean and well maintained. The sites are well sized and provide a picnic table and fire ring. Lots of places for kids to run around and explore. The swimming area is lovely as is the playground. This is one place that we would definitely go back to visit the incredible friends that we made. A visit to Ohiopyle state park is a MUST to see the natural water slide, waterfalls and take some fantastic hikes.

Our first trip in the new camper

Incredibly clean & close To everything. Located right beside Ohiopyle and Yough Lake dam. There is a beach in campground but found the drive to Yough lake perfect. Site #5 is where We stayed and it was perfect for the small children to play in the creek behind us there was the perfect pathway down to the creek. Very quiet and family oriented.

Creekside Loop

Even on Memorial Day weekend it was very peaceful. Can’t say enough on how friendly and helpful the staff are. Other campers are exceptionally friendly. Very clean and well maintained campground. Wonderful lake access and swimming area.
