Weekend Trip to Ranger's Retreat

Great and very welcoming hosts! Wonderful property. The fireflies at night were incredible. We would absolutely book here again.

Weekend Trip to Camp Serenity

I loved this place 100% we had an amazing time with no issues. The directions were clear on how to arrive and we brought a camaro so the path was accessible. Our neighbors were so lovely but not intrusive of personal space i loved meeting them. The spot was beautiful with a beautiful view. The lake was about 2-4 feet deep but the current was super strong so floaties and life jackets are needed for young kids. Overall, it was a beautiful experience and a spot I will definitely be returning to.

Weekend Trip to Camp Serenity

Great spot to camp. Family friendly environment. Great camping community.

3 nights at Ranger's Retreat

Beautiful spot with some trails on the property. Super thoughtful and kind hosts. Highly recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Evelyne’s Farm

We had a very lovely and relaxing time. The farm is beautiful and we even had a chicken hang out with us for a while. Christina is a great host and her husband was kind enough to pull our van with his tractor when we got stuck due to the wet morning grass. Highly recommended.

1 night at Camp Serenity

Beautiful place. Peaceful, quiet. Grass trimmed very nice, very short walk to the river. Trees around for a mix of sun and shade.

1 night at Laurel Highlands Cannabis

Stunning views, beautiful property, very accommodating host

4 nights at All Ferns Most of the Time

Had a wonderful time at Jim’s place. 4 nights spent and would certainly come back for more. Feels very private for the most part and has a wonderful stream close by for the dogs to have fun. Also not to jinx it for the future but, we didn’t find a single tick on ourselves or the dogs… however we did find a black bear!

1 night at Ranger's Retreat

Eric and Vicki are exceptional hosts. They met us on arrival and showed us all amenities. The full hookup site is perfectly level, clean and easily accessible. A 50 foot hose works for fresh water. There’s a fire pit. There’s also a picnic table under a roof with a fan and lights. We’ll be back!

Weekend Trip to Ranger's Retreat

Both Vicky and Eric, you’re so welcoming.they checked on us to make sure everything was OK. Perfect spot to just relax and unwind. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Abrams Creek Campground/Retreat

Absolutely perfect sites by the creek. Host was responsive, friendly, and helpful. We were able to get our pop up camper into site 3 for an amazing weekend.

Weekend Trip to Abrams Creek Campground/Retreat

If you are looking for a secluded area, with a nice creek to listen to or have the kids to play in, but still want the luxuries of a toilet/shower, then this is it! Its absolutely beautiful! You can even hear the owls at night time "whoing" back and forth. The kids rode the "whitewater" on their butts from 9am until dinner time. Theres no service, so a great escape from reality to reset! We will definitly be back!

Weekend Trip to Bear Run Farms

Big thanks to Amber, her kids, and especially Larry, who got us taken care of at the site. We camped for 2 nights and had the best time. Truly something special here. The water was fantastic; we loved watching fireflies and frogs. It’s so peaceful and private, but if you need a toilet, it’s a short walk away. You don’t want for anything, but also you are left to camp as you please.

Weekend Trip to WonderWoods at Rocky Gap

Kristen is the sweetest and most gracious host. Her camp sites and amenities are top notch and hard to beat in a location that’s also hard to top! Thank you always for welcoming us and for the terrific service!

Weekend Trip to Apple Blossom Camp

Great host. Very responsive and communicative. Great location near Mt State Brewing and the UY put-in. Port a potty extremely clean. Nice big field with a cool hang out area just above. Highly recommend.

2 nights at Slice of Solitude

What an absolutely beautiful property! Every inch of it was meticulously maintained—especially the bathrooms, which were spotless. There were so many activities to choose from: a shed full of games, corn hole, bocce ball, a sand volleyball court, soccer field with goal posts, playground, huge pavilion, fire pit—you name it, they have it. You truly never need to leave the property. We loved simply exploring the grounds and hiking the peaceful trails with our dog. It was the perfect place to unplug and recharge for a couple of days while soaking in the natural beauty all around us. “Slice of Solitude” truly lived up to its name. Thank you for your warm hospitality and for sharing this little haven with us!

2 nights at WonderWoods at Rocky Gap

The Acorn Palace is simply beautiful, stocked with everything and in a picture perfect place ! Rocky Gap Park with its pristine lake are the cherry on top. We swam in the clear water and the beach is clean and with all the amenities. Kristen is an amazing host! She is kind and attentive and at the same time makes sure to give you plenty of privacy. Would definitely recommend!

1 night at Cheat View Outpost

Very quiet and peaceful (except for the bullfrogs, which I thought sounded very cool). Would definitely stay here again.

6 nights at WonderWoods at Rocky Gap

This was our second visit to our absolute favorite camping place. The spots are grassy. The view is fantastic. There's woods all around. We're close to bike trails. Kristen is just a wonderful host and a great person. The watershed with the bathrooms is beautiful and has towels and a little kitchenette! We camp a lot and seriously doesn't it get any better than this.

This property and farm has been in our family for 3 generations. In 1964 my grandfather started the campground due to limited camping at New Germany. My father tells stories of it being filled with guests all summer long! Over the years there was few upgrades and now it's in need of a facelift. Landscaping, electric upgrades and bathhouse remodels were completed Spring 2021. We will continue to renovate in phases it's been a labor of love, but you can still see the beauty of this rural location and enjoy the peace and quiet. Hope you enjoy your stay. Lots of trees, shade and nature. It's located near New Germany State Park, 1.5 miles by car, less than a mile by foot. The state park has a lake and hiking trails. Garrett County has so much to offer, waterfalls, lakes, hiking, skiing, Amish gifts, history, fresh air, beautiful scenery. The campground was first started in 1964 by my grandparents, we are currently completing renovations in phases.

Sycamore Island

1 site · Tent14 acres · Blawnox, PA

Camp on an island only accessible by boat/kayak/canoe or however you want to get across the river! Please read the full description. The island is open to visitors from dawn to dusk to enjoy the trails and wild scenery. Camp reservations secure your overnight visit to stay at the designated campsite area, which has a fire ring for cooking, a picnic table, and room for a tent or hammock. Sycamore Island can only be reached by your own canoe, kayak, or rowboat; watercraft is not provided. You are required to have a permit for an overnight stay: Please sign this form before submitting your stay request. https://alleghenylandtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Camping-at-Sycamore-Island-Rules-and-Regulations-4.5.16-Fillable.pdf Please plan your visit in advance- requests to camp the same day or day before may not receive a timely approval. Sycamore Island and its campsite are managed by Allegheny Land Trust, a 501c3 land conservation nonprofit helping local people save local land in the Pittsburgh region. We are able to review and respond to camping requests Monday - Friday between 9 am - 5 pm. Acquired and protected by Allegheny Land Trust in 2008, Sycamore Island is a floodplain forest with a ranking of “high significance” within the Allegheny River Biological Diversity Area (BDA) Natural Heritage Area. Before the island was protected by ALT, the island had periodic interludes of recognition and appreciation by humans as a natural refuge. In 1936, both Sycamore Island and Nine Mile Island were leased from the Pennsylvania Railroad by the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania, making these islands the first bird sanctuaries in the Pittsburgh region. The Harbor Isle Boat Club was in existence on the island during the late 1960s but was later abandoned leaving behind several significant features; including a barge that remains embedded in the sand at the island’s southern tip, a partially installed swimming pool, docking platform, and a series of offshore pilings in the back channel.

Abrams Creek Campground/Retreat

Abrams Creek is like camping in a nature preserve, rather than in a commercial campground. On our campground, there are no generators, loud electronics, or other things that would distract from appreciating the sights and sounds of this pristine natural environment. And this is always a great place to beat the heat! We have a mountain climate; the peak temperature most days in the summer is in the high 70's or very low 80's, and at night, temperatures go down to about 60. You'll be breathing cool, clean, fresh mountain air all day long! Hot showers are included, and all sanitary facilities are *sterilized* between guests. We have taken every measure to safeguard your health! We are located in the mountainous Potomac Highlands region of West Virginia. Our vision is an environmentally conscious, eco-friendly campground developed in harmony with nature. We are not only a business, but also serve as an anchor for others who want to live more simply and close to the earth. The concept of rural revitalization means reinventing rural life so that it is economically sound, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally satisfying. Ask any of our staff if you would like to learn more about this!

Lazy Acres Campground

1 siteDerry, PA

Welcome to Lazy Acres Campground, a unique destination where the spirit of community and family tradition thrives amidst beautiful natural surroundings. Established by my parents, John and Hazel Truxal, who were dedicated dairy farmers, Lazy Acres has evolved from a simple leased parcel of land into a cherished campground that fosters connections among campers. In 1976, a milk customer of my father's sought to lease a small, unused section of our farmland for his camper. This initial request sparked a chain reaction, as word spread and soon the area was bustling with campers. Recognizing the growing demand, my father began clearing additional land, installing water, electric, and sewage facilities. Campers were encouraged to choose their spots, marking trees or stones to claim their place, which fostered a sense of ownership and camaraderie among our guests. Over the years, Lazy Acres has transformed into a vibrant community where friendships flourish. It was not uncommon to wake up to cows grazing nearby, and children from the campground often helped my father with hay baling and corn picking. This sense of togetherness created a warm, family-like atmosphere that continues to thrive today. Though my parents have passed on, my siblings—John Jr. and Sheree—and I, Gayle, have worked hard to preserve many of the

Camping in Ohiopyle State Park guide

Overview

About

With 20,500 acres of rugged woodlands, waterfalls, and rambling rivers on the southern cusp of the Laurel Highlands—Ohiopyle State Park is bursting with outdoor adventures. The Youghiogheny River Gorge has some of the busiest whitewater rafting runs east of the Mississippi with class III and IV rapids. Hiking trails total 79 miles, including the 27-mile multi-use Youghiogheny River Trail, shared by bikers and cross-country skiers. Need more options? How about rock climbing, horseback riding, sledding, or snowmobiling? Seasonal camping is available at the Kentuck Campground, which also has camping cottages, yurts, and 27 walk-in, tent-only sites.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Campsite reservations open 11 months in advance; cottages and yurts must be reserved a minimum of three days in advance.
Campsites can book up fast, especially if visiting during peak season (June to September) or on holiday weekends. Aim to book at least three months in advance; more for cottages and yurts.

When to go

Millions of visitors come to Ohiopyle State Park each year, and crowds are inevitable at popular trails and viewpoints—avoid summer and holiday weekends if you want to dodge the masses. Camping is seasonal at Ohiopyle, and Kentuck Campground opens from April through mid-December. The main whitewater rafting season is April to October, but the falls are only open when the area is staffed, so check dates in advance.

Kentuck Campground

We are at the end of a 10 week, 16 State trip in our small 22' truck camper. This is hands down the worst CG we have stayed at, and it is $55/night! Bathrooms are atrocious, sites unlevel and no water at sites. Arrived at 2:30pm, with a reservation. No one to check you in. No "Reserved" tag at site or any other info at deserted check-in office. Host was ignorant and uninformed. Horrible CG.

Kentuck Campground

Spent a Monday night here at Site Elm 67. I usually like PA state parks because they are clean, well maintained, and the rules are enforced. In this case, the site was clean and maintained but the restrooms were dirty and in disrepair, quiet hours were not enforced and we did not see a ranger or camp host our entire time there. Several sites were competing to see who could play their music the loudest until well after midnight. They were asked several times to obey the quiet hours but were drinking (also not usually allowed) and were less than accommodating. With no ranger or host, there was little else we could do. I would not return to this campground.

The walk in sites particularly didn't seem very level, and was quite a walk to some of them. Some of the walk in sites seem a little more private than the drive in sites. Bathrooms were convenient and remained clean throughout the stay. Rangers were friendly. Didn't seem to be too much of a party atmosphere, but I was staying during the week.

Spent Memorial Day weekend here. And it rained almost the entire weekend but site 008 on Aspen had lots of trees to hang tarps which provided good coverage. Sites are spacious enough and the walk to the showers and bathrooms are not too far. Aspen is near the front of the camground so it was easy to get out and take advantage of all that the area has to offer. One note: this was one of the most highly patrolled campgrounds we've been to and were questioned over drinking a bottle of root beer. Might have been due to the holiday weekend but I've never seen more rangers before so don't forget koozies or red Solo cups.

Limited cellphone coverage on the mountain, plan accordingly. Also, lots and lots of adorable chipmunks. Fall is beautiful!

Stayed here with in the summer with my co-leader and 4 campers, and we had a great time despite the rain. We stayed in the group camping area, and were closer to the bathhouses than we had been at other campgrounds. The staff was nice and helpful, and the campground is close to Ohiopyle.

Tent camped July 2016, site 069 Elm rd. Very quiet during the week, but the weekends are very different. Packed on weekend- surrounded by families. The walk-in sites are truly far off the road, and some are very private, but many are actually visible to other campers (many walk-ins are really a long long walk- better not be carrying a lot). Pretty typical state campground type sites mostly, fairly convenient to bathrooms and water. Ice and firewood available at camp entrance. Not too many showers. Bikers can get to the GAP trail via a very steep hillside- not good if your bike is loaded. The main road is very windy, steep and dangerous for bikes. Literally across the road leading to Kentuck Knob Frank Lloyd Wright house.

Both the hike-in and drive-in camping at Kentuck are great. They have the perfect combo of festive & chill vibes - you've got campers enjoying nature with a drink and a smile, but from my experience, nobody who's just there for a place to party. Love the respectful community here. Plus, great hiking & biking networks all around!

I have stayed here every time I've been to Ohiopyle. Fun campsite, with nice hosts and group friendly. I have never had a problem staying here yet.
