I was prompted to write this review because the previous review stated that this campground was not meant for big rigs and that was not my experience! I have a 32.5ft Class C rig and we had many sites that could have worked for us. The site we choose was so big (look at the picture) that I could have parked two rigs in that same spot. We had no problem driving through the campground. The Ranger was very nice to us. The bathrooms were super clean.
It is a smaller campground, but very nice. There is a nice lake for swimming, a playground for the kids and it is located the the heart of Pennsylvania's wild elk herds.

This is not meant for big rigs at all! I rarely leave reviews but after our experience I thought I should let others know. You have a small rig have at it. Anything over 30ft good luck.

This is not meant for big rigs at all! I rarely leave reviews but after our experience I thought I should let others know. You have a small rig have at it. Anything over 30ft good luck. We had a 40ft and we barely fit. The roads in the lower loop are steep and they leave a deep Gulley on the sides. We bottomed out and the turns are difficult and the land terrain is steep. The signs were down from the entrance into the lower loop up through the park. Camp host is a joke! Never seen them once but they had time to talk with park rangers and kayak. We had a nightmare getting in and out. Not like nys parks where someone is there to assist at check in they put your ticket on your post. You won't fit but one big rig in up in the upper loop. Two bigger sites in lower loop. The maintenance guy told us they are redoing it all too. This is meant for 17ft campers all day long. The lake is beautiful the water is clear, fishing is abundance, boat rentals were not available for our stay but we had kayaks. Oh and the kayak rack dragged multiple times that's how up and down the loops are. If your an atv enthusiast this is def for u 43 miles of atv trails. They own the road so if your into biking be ready to constantly move off the road or trail to accommodate. Again beautiful lake great time juat not for big rigs and be prepared for the atv noise. Otherwise quiet. No cell service at all. You can travel about half a mile to get some but in the loops and lake you got none! Verizon was our carrier.

Stayed here thru a weekend close to Cherry Springs which was packed with an annual star party. Turned out to be a great choice and we "commuted" to Cherry Springs. Was very clean, with hot showers, a few vacant sites, no Verizon service, mostly quiet with occasional loud ATV traffic up on the hill, and with helpful staff and regular rounds by DCNR. We camped with a 35ft class A which was pretty close to the limit although you might squeeze a few more feet in. Just 1 pull thru and a few backins that are long and level enough. We needed 2x4 blocks under the front to get level. We has 50A service, shared water within 150ft (which we couldn't reach without moving), and a dump station at the lower campground about a mile away. Dump station access was adequate but I did drag the tail end (on hard pack and gravel) exiting to return to the upper campground. Better to exit in the other direction and then find a place to turn around. GPS routed 20 extra minutes north from Galeton and back south via 6 miles of narrow dirt and gravel. Better to turn west in Galeton since the 10 ton limit bridge is actually on a side street and so we returned to Galeton by that shorter paved road. Approaching Lyman Run from Cherry Springs is much more challenging with a steep, narrow, road and lots of guardrail.

Super clean facilities, a dish washing station, beautiful lake with a sand beach, some spots have open views of the sky. Cherry springs state park is nearby and has a viewing area for the night sky. Supposed to be one of the top areas in the country for least amount of light pollution for star viewing. Would definitely return!

Deep woods State Park. There is a beautiful lake and a beach that we didn't get to try. Way down in the valley. Pretty nice facilities. Cool Ranger Station with some interesting things. It was forecast to rain for days and there was no phone service at all so we bugged out.
