We would’ve given this campground a 10/10….until night hit. I am not exaggerating, or kidding by ANY means whatsoever. I heard something skulking behind me as I relaxed in my hammock, getting closer and closer when I turned around there was a raccoon as large as a preschooler wobbling towards me. I attempted to yell at it, but it gave NO sh%^s. I stood up and tried to throw a piece of wood near it. This thing didn’t even flinch. Basically had to run into my tent (as my kids are screaming), to get away from IT. We had put away all food items except for our extremely sealed/tight cooler, which was placed almost totally opposite of us in our site. My husband ended up running straight at it and it went back into the forest. Its familiarity was a bit freaky, but you’re in nature- we weren’t that worried about it. That is, until about midnight, when we were woken up by raccoons literally, LITERALLY surrounding our tent. My husband had to get out of the tent, armed with rocks, and keep throwing them at them over and over from midnight until my kids and I got up at 7 am. They had gotten into our cooler (my kids can barely open it), and inside our screened in canopy and had gone through anything we left out (not much, and nothing with food in it, just camping supplies). My husband estimates there were between 20 and 30 SEPARATE raccoons that kept coming in waves. He said he felt like he was in a world war. So now that I’ve shared what absolutely ruined a beautiful camping night, I’ll share the positives. Because there were many. Right before the sun went down, and the raccoons went on the offensive, we had just agreed it was probably the best State Park we’d ever been to. The shower and toilet facilities were clean, albeit older, but we don’t have an issue with older. The water pressure was fantastic (short shower head), and heat lasted the whole time we used them. Our walk in site was amazing. It’s the closest to the parking (in that area of walk ins), site 110, which was important because we had a 4 & 6 year old who were already tired from the natural waterslides and a long car ride. Even though it was very close to the parking lot it was SO private. You could not see any other walk in site, nor could you hear anything my (granted the campground wasn’t that full). The gal who checked us in was SO nice. I wish I could remember her name. We had originally booked site 057, but that had a straight up hill walk in, and we had to drive back and see if we could switch/she could recommend an easier walk in. She told us a few and said ‘go drive and check them out! Take your time, then come back and let me know which one you want!’ Hopefully she sees this- thank you!! So- I just cannot recommend this campground. We won’t return, it was the most bizarre experience I’ve ever had camping and made me feel extremely anxious the whole night. If you can’t hang around your campfire in the dark because you’re afraid of a huge gaggle of raccoons descending on you it’s not a good camping experience. So disappointing.

What a lovely park! Despite being early in the season, the park was in good shape. We had a spot close to the shower house but screened by a small stand of trees. Showers had GREAT water pressure, plenty of hot water and heat.
The gravel pad was easy to maneuver onto and power hook up was right there. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring on which you can cook. Spaces are roomy and quite private.
We will definitely stay here again.

I’m rating the campground 2/5 and the park 5/5. Sites were too close and could be much better maintained. Surface was mixed gravel/dirt or mud and not level. Bath houses could use a full upgrade. Only one operational dump site for a large campground. Wish PA would allocate more dollars towards State Park campground maintenance and improvements. The park itself was magnificent, with numerous trails and access to the Allegheny biking trail. Also, two of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural wonders are very close to the campsite.

Great state park and close to trails, water, biking and historic sites. We concentrated more on Fort Necessity National Battlefield, Jumonville Glen and Braddock's Grave. 30/50 amp sites, Site #190 would be perfect for larger rig; site 195 if camping with friends who need cabin. Pay close attention when booking, only 2 dog loops. Sites fairly level, large and private. Self contained so did not use any shower/rest rooms. Firewood and ice easy accessible. Dump station and potable water near entrance (website does not mention water, but it is available). Note: Pay attention to directions with reservation, some roads in are very steep and not recommended for RV. Plenty of room for adding a tent or clam shell to site.

GPS took us a kind of rough way. Should have used Mill Run Rd (like if you were going to Falling Water). Check in was ok, site ok. Nicely spaced. Toilets and showers were a little disappointing. Good supply of wood.

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

Very wooded and beautiful. Be careful of site size, because many are very small. Best tip…for GPS use Kentuck Campground. If you use the Ohiopyle State Park it takes you to the river ramp, way far from the campground. And it is difficult to find. Enjoy!

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.
