Rating: 8 9 10 8 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Very large and well kept park. We stayed at G-300. Large green area as part of campsite. Great for kids or dogs, (On pet friendly loop.) Lots to do at park. - BDP
We love state parks with full hook ups. This RV camping area is very new looking and well kept. It is on a gentle slope with terraced camping sites, which are mostly level. The tent camping areas are a bit more primitive looking. It is a huge park around a lake. There were areas around the lake where you could not walk your dog. The beach was closed to everyone - people or dogs. Our campsite utilities were convenient. We talked to a "regular" who said that the campsite is very full in the summer and on weekends. We can believe it. Mid-week in October it was mostly empty and very pleasant. - ShoreXplorers
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Shawnee State Park »Big rig friendly full hookup 50 amp super long pull through site B309. Sites in B loop are level enough for big rigs. Checkout time 3PM is great for weekenders who want to take advantage of Sunday. Super friendly reservations, you can shorten stay anytime, and they will refund rest of reservation. T-mobile service excellent. From Breezewood, we took 30W all the way to park entrance on the left. Very easy for big rigs too. During off season, dogs can swim at beach, use common sense. - univmd

Rating: 4 6 7 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed here when they just opened for the season. The man who checked us in was very nice and let us pick whatever 30 amp site that we wanted since the park was pretty empty. The park is in need of repairs and updates. The bathrooms were really rusty and smelled like mold so I skipped using the showers. Apparently they were still working on getting the water up and running so while we were there the water came out brown. The man who checked us in told us not to drink the water but it was safe to use in our rig. After seeing very brown water come out of the faucet we decided to use our bottled water for everything in our rig. We only stayed here one night. For the value it was fine for a overnight but I would have to go back to see if anything has improved before raising the score. Our site was level with shade. - RV Path chosen
Stayed here 4 nites to see the area. Enjoyed the town of Buford and the covered bridge tour. The campground is more for an overnight stop. Sites are level and the pool looked clean. There are 2 levels to the grounds. The lower level is large and has shade around the outside sites, weekend is busy but we were the only ones in the park by Sunday nite. There is no cable TV, Wi-Fi or TV ant. reception. There are no planned activities and the park is in need of undating. Bathroms were fairly clean, but in need of repair. Office is open around mid morning and in the afternoon for a while if they don't have something else to do. Might stay again, but only as an overnight stop. - Evorider
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Shawnee Sleepy Hollow Campground »The sites at this park are very spacious and well groomed. The park isn't too far off the PA Turnpike--maybe 15 minutes driving. Quiet at night. Nice looking pool. The bathhouse could use some updating -- the ceiling especially, rusted shower handle, and the half destroyed no smoking sign for examples. But it was obviously cleaned regularly. We would certainly stay here again. - mrsgranett

Rating: 9 6 10 8 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: First time camping at this campground. Sites are well spaced where we were and the staff was great. Did't use the pool - was not open. Campground activities were well organized and well planned - Mother's Day Brunch. Follow directions to the campground as posted on their website. We would camp here again. - dadseven
This CG is very near the highway, great for convenience, but VERY noisy. It sounded like being in the infield at Daytona. It seemed you could hear the LOUD cars coming from miles away and hear them going for miles. Additionally, there was a neighbor who felt the need to empty a whole box of ammo shooting very loudly behinds us. It was better at night. Some of the noise factor could have been from the naked trees, so it may be better in season. We got there late to setup and it was pitch dark. FOrtunately the site was dead-nuts level and that facilitated a quick setup. - deewalttoolguy
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Friendship Village Campground »We stayed here for one night. We got in late but staff left a map on the cork board for us. Spacious sites - kind of close to the interstate but it didn’t bother us. Looks like it would be a fun place during the summer season as there were a lot of activities. - Wesley Roll

Rating: 1 8 8 7 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: I think this park with it's out of level sites, which are hard to get to, was very disappointing. When we were there, the host and PA park central both told us of a boil water notice. Bugs were released overhead to control the Gypsy moth infestation. Billions of them mistook my wife and I for their target. The roads surrounding blue knob are tough to maneuver, but we escaped after our stay was up. Never to return. Oh, and the electric kept popping on and off. I can only assume that was bug overload. Imagine a hilly field with power poles. - joemama
This state park encompasses a 6,128 acre wilderness with 12 miles of hiking trails. The campground is located at an elevation of 2,400 feet, so expect temperatures to be several degrees cooler than at lower elevations in the area. The sites on the interior of the loop are different than I’ve experienced at other campgrounds. While the pads are gravel, there is no obvious driveway leading to them. With some trepidation, I backed into my site across the grass. Fortunately, even on a rainy spring day, there was no rutting caused by my motorhome which weighs over 30,000 pounds. 50-amp power service is available, but there is no water at each site. Rather, there are a few stanchions scattered about from which a pail of water can be drawn, but not connected to with a hose. Make sure your water tank is full before arriving here – its capacity will determine your length of stay. - GreenMtn08
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Blue Knob State Park »As stated, this is at the top of Blue Knob Mountain, the second highest mountain in PA. Size of the sites were nice, but most are out in the open, like a field. The sites in the perimeter are nice shaded. It's a quiet campground with lots of hiking trails. The Park has a swimming pool, but it is a couple miles away from the campground at the southern entrance to the Park. We had a nice time, but would try for a perimeter site next time. - DaGrinch

Rating: 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The park manager was very personable and accommodating! He actually took us right to our spot and moved around the picnic table to best suit the setup. The swim area was great -water was reasonably warm for beginning of June. The dam is very pretty! They do not allow gas engine boats -- which was perfect for us. We have kayaks so it was nice and peaceful for my husband to be able to take our 2 year old to fish. I would highly recommend this campground. Relatively small place with minimal store essentials. Also, electric is the only available hookup. No sewage or garbage disposal at campground. - ashleymcdavidson
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Quemahoning Family Recreation Area »Google maps tells you to turn on Woodstown Hwy which leads you to Lemons Road. Avoid that. Stay on Penn Ave (601). Make a right onto Plank Road (4019) and then an immediate right onto Quemahoning Dam Road. This is because Lemons Road is very narrow and winding and not suitable for RVs.
It's situated on a nice lake where you can go swimming. There is a large section with pavilions. It's a pretty small park but pleasant enough. Convenient to Johnstown. You can rent kayaks, paddleboards and canoes. We noticed a wash station outside the bathhouse for tent campers who wanted to wash up some dishes. There is no water at your site. We enjoyed our stay and would return. - Ceil-54 -

Rating: 5 7 7 6 1 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This would be an ideal campground EXCEPT for the risk posed by an avoidable hazard. They know bears (plural) get into their dumpsters, but make no effort to enclose or lock them, and don't warn campers to avoid those areas at night. In fact, she chuckled and responded nonchalantly when told about our encounter. Other than that, it's a lovely, quiet campground with clean facilities, nice gravel roads and pads, and spacious sites. Just keep your kids and pets inside after dusk. And feel sorry for the bears, which will probably have to be destroyed after they become too habituated or, heaven forbid, hurt someone.
Follow directions on website, because GPS may lead you to Rice Rd. which is completely inappropriate for RVs. - Keeping up with the JonesesStayed overnight due to heavy rain in the area. Site was long,level of compacted gravel. New owners are making nice improvement. Would stay again - maineman
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Hidden Springs Campground »We stay here every year for a family reunion. It's secluded but close enough to Rocky Cap Casino and the city of Cumberland, MD. New owners have taken over this year and we already noticed improvements as soon as we drove in. They are campers themselves and are living onsite. I am looking forward to our next visit to see the changes. - jltreadwell

Rating: 3 1 5 4 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Umm...Keep driving!
Very small, unlevel sites on soft ground (mostly grass with a little gravel), 30 amp electric (no 50 amp). Utilities are at the very back of the sites, so you may need extensions. Most of the trailers look like long-term low income housing. Several trailers were empty, rusty and abandoned. Campground is run by a sweet very old lady. It has a small pool that looked clean. We did not use the pool or public restrooms. At $38 a night, we wish we had looked into some of the nearby state parks and campgrounds. Since we were only staying for one night we went ahead and "bit the bullet" and stayed. - lauraslytleThis is an old run down park with mostly seasonal campers. We made the mistake of paying before seeing the shower house. Previous reviews are a little on the "kind" side for sure. Washrooms and showers were filthy and disgusting. Luckily the elderly woman who runs the place gave us our $30.00 back and we found another campground. - shlemon
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Woodland Campsites »Very basic, no frills little campgrounds. 95% seasonal. The seasonals are friendly enough. A very sweet older lady runs the place by herself. Not the place to go if you want activities, games, etc. Lots of shopping and other things to do in the general area. - blondieemtp

Rating: 10 10 10 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We used the Golden Age pass to get 1/2 price camping Sunday - Thur. We stopped at the main gate to check in, but since it was off season there were no rangers on duty, but they did have a sign in sheet with a confirmation of our reservation. Even though no rangers were on regular duty, they did patrol the campground numerous times throughout the day. We booked site 23 in the Ash loop which is the only electric loop. The site backed into the wooded area, very roomy and very private with a nice path to the restroom and shower facilities. There was plenty of room in the pad area for our 15' teardrop and a 12 x 12 pop up canopy with additional seating around. The site was pretty level, only needed a thin strip of wood to level up under one side. Electric worked great, and the water spigot is very close if you need to get more water. The campground was not busy, mainly there were a lot of overnight campers. We had a regular family of 10 wild turkeys visiting our campsite and the neighboring sites throughout the park every morning and evening. Restrooms and showers were cleaned daily and were in good working order. We did walk around the campground and again scouted out different sites to stay in the future. We picked out site #14 for a future stay which is heavily wooded, backed into the woods and very roomy. The driveway is one of the few that are paved. The fire ring is outside of the camping pad which will give you even more room around your camping unit. See my comments October 2017 for additional reviews of the park and surrounding area. Looking forward to staying at Rocky Gap again, as I mention again that this is my favorite Md State Park. - Teardrop TAB320S owner
We stayed here in a 28' travel trailer at site #A19. This was a very long site with plenty of room for us and well shaded (appreciated during this hot spell). We had verizon service with 4G and 4 bars. There were 5 channels of OTA TV. This site is right next to a water spigot, so if you had a long hose (100') you could fill from the site. All of the sites were spacious with good separation between sites. I think there were only 3 sites (out of 30 in the electric loop - Aspen) that weren't great and even those would be perfectly acceptable. The sites are within walking distance of the lake and the trail that circles it (about 5 miles if you complete the whole loop). There is a golf course and casino on the property for those who enjoy that sort of thing. The restaurants at the casino looked good, but we didn't try them out. The facility is only 8 miles from Cumberland, MD, so plenty of places to pick up things you may have forgotten and places to eat. This has been our favorite campground this year and we will try to make it back one more time before winter. - Capt Gerry
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Rocky Gap State Park »Sites were well spaced. Our site was on the outside loop which had lots of trees and low brush between most sites. A lot of the sites on the inside of the loop went back further into the trees and were very private, not at all visible to the bath house, which will be my choice on my next visit. The drive thru sites 11 and 13 were excellent. This is the only electric loop, which also allows pets, but I noticed a lot of owners did not follow the rules of pets on a leash at all times. Lots of wooded paths leading to the bath house from the inside sites. We could hear road noise, because our site was backed up to the woods and main entrance for incoming and outgoing vehicles to the camping loops, but the noise was not that bad. Rocky Gap seems to be more wooded than a lot of the other Md State Parks. Rocky Gap is a nice state park, rangers patrol on a regular basis. We will be going again next year. - Teardrop TAB320S owner
