We gravitate toward state and county parks but this is a real gem. Quiet and lovely landscaping—I am writing this beneath a large silver maple just over our picnic table. Almost every spot has one. It is a great location for all our rockhounding and outdoor exploring but close to groceries and all that stuff. Staff and the locals that live here couldn’t be nicer.

Pros: 15 min ride off I 81 so it worked for our quick overbite stop while on the move. And pretty creek.

Cons: We stayed in the electric and water only sites. Everything was old run down. The electric and water hookup was on the wrong side. And the electric box had no circuit breaker or any on/off switch, which was unfortunate because the water hook up was only one inch away from the receptacle (see pic). There was no dumpster and the view out our kitchen window was piles of trash (see pic). There supposedly is WiFi but no one was around to give us the password. Maybe the place seems like creepy in season.? And certainly not worth 30 bucks.

A small and delicately laid out park just off the main drag but full of trees and quiet. John and Barbara were super friendly and I loved the laundry rooM for all its space. Try your best to get Site 12, which backs right up against the addl 5 acres that they own. Even has stone steps that go right into it and that was great for impromptu hiking and dog walking. Five min into town! There was WiFi but it really didn’t work at our site but our Verizon hotspot did the trick.

Like others have said, the location is great and the office staff is lovely. Lots of pretty features in the campground but we just felt completely jammed in, especially since most other sites had huge motor homes or fifth wheels. We pulled up stakes after two nights of not sleeping because of our neighbor’s heater going on/off all night and it was worth going elsewhere, even though we lost the $$ for the last night.

Our site had no picnic table although others did. Seems to cater to seasonal or full time customers.

Make sure to ask for site 34–it is an end site with a great path through the forest on the other side. Kim was lovely and I can’t say enough about how peaceful it was just to sit in the quiet and watch those barges along the Ohio.

We don’t usually stay in FHU RV parks but needed to recalibrate after some time boondocking in Wyoming dust. We had a gorgeous site that overlooked the town, had great camp WiFi (streamed a whole movie!), did laundry right onsite on sparkling clean washer/dryers and took a long shower in a beautiful bathroom while the laundry dried. Sites are very close together but everyone was quiet so we hardly noticed. The owners are wonderful and so appreciative of guests. Also, just a short drive or even a walk into town. Can’t beat it!

We only needed a one-night stay but I would have loved to stay longer. Arrived on a Sat night and there were lots of people, but it was still quiet and beautiful. We booked at Little Axe and unfortunately, we did not look at a map when entering the Park address on the GPS. That is for the office, which was 30+ min away from that particular campground on the other side of the lake. Since there are multiple campgrounds there, be sure to look at a map before booking online. And that is the only downside—the website is prehistoric and it takes forever and you HAVE to use it, either ahead of time to reserve a spot or once you get there.

We just needed a place for one night while we strolled the town and you probably couldn’t do better than this place for the price. We called for same day reservation and the owner said that while they were closing for the season, we could just come in, pick a site, and no, don’t bother with a credit card now, we will just meet up later. That is a long-lost America!! It was small but cozy and I am sure in season (and in a world without COVID), it is very nice. Look for the back in sites around the perimeter, they are very, very green and shaded. I did love the batch of black eyed Susans growing at our site.

We stayed here in our 23 ft Airstream while visiting with our kids. It is largely a permanent RV park, with two sections reserved for travelling RVs and tents. That didn't bother us. Site 43 was wooded and secluded and really easy to back into on our maiden voyage. We needed to level a bit but even that was minor. Despite all the grandkids around who came to visit grandparents on the first post-lockdown weekend in the county, all was quiet.

The people in the office could not be friendlier--the woman who registered us even chased us down as we were headed to our site to tell us she found a better site for us!! Yes, they do have this wacky policy of adding 5 bucks per night for AC but they didn't charge us even when I said I was going to use it. They also have a nice policy of crediting a cancellation--we had to cancel our first night as we delayed our trip by one day and they told us we had a year to use the $$.

We stayed again one night on our way back from the Adirondacks and this time went to "Safari B," which is basically a huge field for travelling RVs. It wasn't beautiful but was quiet and served our purposes as a quickie overnighter. The sites in the main campground are definitely more attractive.

Finally, this is a super location if you are travelling from the PA./NJ/NY area up to western MA and into New England. It is just minutes off I-90.

We needed a one-nighter while traveling and couldn’t believe we scored a lakefront site w elec+water for this low fee. The park gets day use boaters and fisherfolk, who were all pulling out when we got there late Sunday afternoon. Probably busy in season but even then, there is plenty of room for even large rigs. PLUS working free WiFi.
