Nice wide sites. The “roads” may be problematic for larger campers. Looks like this place caters to seasonal campers.

There’s a lot of junk laying around that should be cleaned up or towed away.

Some of the seasonal campers are showing signs of age. However the renters keep their sites well kept. The area between the site, however, could be better.

We were given both a military discount and a discount for paying in cash. Even without the discounts the rates are very reasonable (around $45 a night)

Great little campsite. All the staff (campground hosts, rangers, and all other) were very friendly and helpful. This campground was one of the quietest places I've ever camped at. All the sites are nice sized. You're not crowding your neighbor. There is a marked off section that allows pets. If you have a pet, make sure you're reserving in the pet friendly side of the campground. Although they are not perfectly level, all the sites are paved. A nice touch at this campground is that your site number is not only carved into a post near your site it's painted on the asphalt at the front of your site! The park is bout half an hour away from Elk Country Visitor Center. About 20 minutes away from Clearfield or Dubois.

The only complaint I might have is our site was a little short for our little 20 foot trailer and truck. I would have liked the site to be a foot or two longer so that I didn't have to park in the grass after unhitching.

Trails around the park were well maintained and well marked. There's a nice lake with swimming area and boat launch. Both of these are public accessible and free.

My wife has informed me that her biggest complaint about this park is that it's too far away to visit regularly.

Things seem to be a little disorganized. There’s new management of the campground and they’re changing policy and procedures. During office hours, instead of checking in at the front gate you have to go down to the office. After office hours you still check in at the gate.

After getting set up we needed to go to a store to get some stuff we forgot. We asked the front gate guy when the store/office closes and he couldn’t tell us. He thought maybe 8pm. We went down to the office/store and found out it closed at 6pm. (The office didn’t tell him that they are closing and he’s supposed to start checking people in? He doesn’t know what time he he’s supposed to take over check in duties?)

On the good side, there is now a water connection at every site. No more running hoses a hundred feet or fishing your hose through a pipe under the road to hook up water.

The road noise is still a problem. Unfortunately there’s nothing that can be done to fix it.

So far, all the staff we’ve met this trip is friendly and helpful.
