Ohiopyle State Park

We had quite the terrible drive to this campground. The inclines on the approach to the area were tough enough, and the directions to the campground given in the confirmation email were very confusing. None of the road names/numbers mentioned matched our GPS or paper maps. RV's should avoid SR 2019 - it's very steep. I would recommend putting Maywood Grill into your GPS first and then navigate to Kentuck Campground from there to avoid steep grades. Also be aware that there are not an abundance of gas stations in the area. That added to the headache of our drive. We nearly ran out of gas after taking the longer detour to avoid steep grades. This campground really isn't great for RV's or travel trailers in our opinion just due to access. Vans and smaller trailers should be fine.

- Closest grocery decent store is 30 minutes away
- Showers were clean, but outdated
- Electric hookups only, no water. Fill up at the bathroom on the bathroom on the way in.
- The park itself is nice and offers a decent amount of hiking and activities
- Great Verizon & AT&T cell service

This park is great for swimming in a little cascade (they call it a natural waterslide), bike paths, walking trails, and easy rafting. Waterfalls and cascades are nice, and very close by you can visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater (don't miss this) as well as Kentuck Knob.
The campground is nice, however not easily accessible for big rigs - the road to get there is very steep.
We stayed in site 41 (Cherry loop) which was shady and fairly private, not too far from restrooms and drinking water.
Note that the water spigot is located at the restrooms, the other ones in the campground didn't work. Also, you needed to take your garbage pretty far from campsites (not a walkable distance), which we didn't appreciate.

We enjoyed this State Park very much. We were there mid week and it was very quiet with a few campers here and there. Our campsite #225, was very private and we had no one around us. The bathrooms and showers were close by. After scoping out the trail from the campground down to the main Gap bike trail we decided to drive to the town of Ohiopyle and start a bike ride from there. The trail from the park to the Gap trail is VERY steep and would have been hard pushing a bike back up to the campground; however it certainly is doable for a hearty type of person. The bike ride on the Gap trail has gorgeous scenery as well as a walking hike on the Great Gorge trail.
Two downsides; one, the dumpster was emptied at 5:30am and was very noisy, two, because site # 225 was a designated pet site we had to pay an extra fee for the site even though we did not have a pet!

It's a nice wooded park with asphalt roads. The sites are some what close to each other but the wooded areas between the site give you a level privacy. Our site, as well as a number of others, wasn't particularly level. I parked our trailer halfway in because if I had gone all the way back I would have never gotten level. The bath houses were spotless. There are a number of water fill stations throughout the park and 1 dump station. Do follow others as well as the parks warning about coming in on Chalkhill-Ohioplye Road. Do not follow your GPS blindly. There are number of hike in the area which is why we were there.

While our site (190 on Ivy Road) for our 32 foot Class A was not incredibly level, we were able to manage to level with chocks and pads and centering the rig in the middle and rear of the pad. RV sites that we observed that WERE level were 191-195 (50amp) and sites 49 &50 (30 amp). Highly recommend this campground for TENT camping. Very few good RV sites. Nice hike to the charming, but touristy borough of OhioPyle.300 foot elevation change to town, no ubers to drive you back! Very clean restrooms - can fill fresh water tanks at the multiple bathhouses. No Cell (AT&T) and no TV. Bring a book.

I can confirm what other reviews mentioned about potable water. The only potable water is at the bathhouses, so filling your RV is tricky. Luckily for us the park was near empty, but I can imagine it's difficult when the campground is busy in the summer. We weren't able to pick up any local TV. Also we noticed no heat in the bathhouses. Many sites were not level and wouldn't recommend a long RV or trailer. Plenty of trails for hiking and things to see and do. RV Access from Route40 is a must!

We had a cozy site with electricity, close to the bathroom with showers. Nice hiking within the Park, close access to the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail if you like 30 degree grades on a half-mile of gravel with bike shoes. (wish this could be improved). They are strict about pet only loops and you cannot even walk your dog on a loop not designated for pets. Rangers patrol frequently. Clean, wooded, close to two Frank Lloyd Wright designed houses.

We enjoyed four nights at Ohiopyle SP in early July. Close to town of Ohiopyle with whitewater rafting, the Great Allegheny Passage bike/hike trail, Fallingwater, etc. The sites we all well spaced and well maintained. Bathrooms were clean. Honor-system concession right at entrance was consistently stocked with firewood and ice — very convenient. Staff was friendly and welcoming at check-in. Our site was on Cherry Rd, a mix of electric sites and several Yurts. Other roads were all tents or all electric. Two areas designed with walk-in tent sites. All were consistently maintained and looked popular as we walked the campground. Highly recommend staying here. Be sure to look at directions on website to take alternative road into the site from Rt 40, rather than from Ohiopyle — very steep hill from Ohiopyle, worth the small loop out of the way to have a steadier grade into the campground if pulling a trailer or in a large camper or motor home.

We stayed two nights and loved it! The campground is beautiful (huge, shady trees everywhere) and has good infrastructure (bathrooms, showers - clean but dated). The campground has trails going right thru it so you can hike to Cucumber Falls or the Great Allegheny trail.

Ohiopyle is an awesome park for hiking, rafting, biking, or riding the waterslides. The town is so-so and definitely bring your groceries! Don't expect to find a good selection in Ohiopyle, altho you'll find plenty of ice cream.
