We stayed here because we needed easy access to the lake and the Outflow campground on the PA side of Yough lake was fully booked on the weekend. By contrast, only the lower loops closer to the lake and stream were booked at this campground. The upper loop was essentially empty. We chose site 11 because it was the farthest back and only potentially had a neighboring site on one side due to a hill on the other side.
The site itself was nice and level. It was long enough for our 22' trailer and our tow vehicle, but it was pretty narrow. We could not put the picnic table beside the trailer and the fire pit was a little close to the car for comfort. Many of the sites were irregular shaped and small. Many would not accommodate a trailer. It looked like they all had a concrete border around the site that didn't leave much room for error when back in. The road around the campground is a single lane dirt road with trees right next to the road, so backing in had it's challenges. Our site was quiet and we could not hear any noise at all coming from the lower loop that was pretty full. It looked pretty congested down there. Sites were very close together and not a lot of room to maneuver.
All the sites have pretty heavy tree cover. We did not get any charge from our solar panel despite it being a clear day. I only saw one fresh water spigot that was in the grassy area between several sites. There are clean bathrooms, but no showers. There is also a dump station near the bathroom.
Getting to the campground was ok for us, but as others have mentioned, you need to watch your route. Do not attempt to coming from Route 40 down Braddock's Run Rd to Leach Road. Leach Rd is a single lane dirt road that is very steep and rough. We drove out that way without the trailer and it was still questionable. Coming in the other way down Mill Run Rd is also pretty tight. It is 1-1.5 lanes for about 1.5 miles, so good luck if there is traffic coming the other way.

This was so beautiful, small and quiet. Access to boat launch, nice bathrooms and large level spots.
Best part was we were able to book online, the same day late at night when we were getting tired and ready to find a spot. I wish more places allowed for that option!

One mile dirt road (one lane) to enter GG. I had no trouble, however an RV/TT May have problem longer than 30 ft. Most campsites are pretty level. Would avoid sites 16,21 and 22, they are right on main road. Most campsites are very close to water ( and boat ramp). I had Maryland Golden Pass so it was very inexpensive.

Bullfrogs were so loud!! We were here pre-Memorial Day weekend and it was nearly empty. Water was warm with sandy swimming area and easy paddle board entry.

Stayed the weekend during off season (FREE during off season - no reservations required). We had the entire campground to ourselves. Lots of trees, sounds of water. Picnic tables and fire rings at every spot. Very level, gravel parking. Dumping closed during off season.
Grounds have plenty to explore (bring mud boots). Kids will enjoy the play yard and horse shoe pit. Motor bike, 4-wheeler, razor friendly.
Loved it. Will be back.

Sites are level, everything is clean, host was friendly and laid back. No hookups or showers, but basic camping at its best.
As a note, google maps routed us in from the north- this road isn’t really passable. The normal access road is a bit tight and rough.
