Ohiopyle State Park

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.

Awesome campground right on the Great Allegheny Passage trail. We loved being able to access the GAP trail right from the campground. We were there in November with plans to visit Fallingwater. This campground was the perfect location for both activities! Our Sprint hotspot didn’t work well (unboosted), but our Verizon did. The water hookups weren’t working at the time, but we were able to connect in Cherry Loop and fill our tank. The campground was really nice and really empty in November when we were there. In the summer I bet this place is packed. We would love to visit again in peak season! We also really enjoyed nearby Falls City Pub.

Make sure you have the campground and not the town of Ohiopyle on your maps for directions! They are two very different places and the town is at the bottom of a very, very steep ravine. Use the Chalk Hill-Ohiopyle road out of the town of Chalk Hill if you are pulling a trailer. The campground is at the top of a very large hill. Others have said the sites were level, but ours was definitely not, sloping well to the back. Also, as others have said, we could notg find water to fill our tank and had to use our 6 gallon jug to do so from the bathroom spigot. We were here on a very quiet day and the only noise at night were the distant trains, which was nice. Cell service was good. Bathrooms were old but clean,
