Cozy and Adventurous!
Stayed 2 nights (accidentally paid for 3 nights online so be careful). Campsites are roomy on the electric sites, non electric are not too bad. Stick with the outer ring for more room as the interiors have more tree canopy coverage BUT tend to be close to your neighbors. Some sites accommodate more than 2 vehicles but the routine officer patrols quickly remind you of the rules and that they dont make them but they need to enforce them. Ample vistor parking close just around the bend so no worries there.
LOVED the hiking; HATED the trail markers. Most of the trails had some form of signage but at least 10 times I had to gps my location to find out which fork to take. I would also take a path and then stumble across a sign board with the map. Had difficult time finding a trail map online or on the property but no problem finding a trail out here. "It's made by moutain bikers, but the trail is for everyone"...perhaps it should be marked a bit so it gets less confusing for those less adventurous who would mostly turn back fearing getting lost. I don't think you can ever get lost on a hike, just find somewhere new or forgotten ;-).
Playgrounds for the kids, ponds for fishing, very nice veterans...
Read moreMy family has been coming here for nearly 40+ years, and have camped in a variety of sites. We've camped on the top and bottom. The bottom sites are electric, and half the top sites are electric (no water hookup). The staff mainly keep to themselves but the ones I've encountered have been very kind.
There are multiple playgrounds and 3 ponds to fish in. There are tennis courts, basketball courts, picnic shelters, and multiple hiking trails. One of our favorite things to do is go down to the creek, and build rock dams to redirect the water through the large culvert pipes.
Quiet time is 11pm which people abide by most of the time. It's hit or miss but the park rangers and sheriff drive through almost nightly.
The bathrooms are relatively clean but the shower water pressure is lacking in some buildings.
Overall, it's a great place to spend time with family and relax on a...
Read moreWhat an awesome hidden gem right here in Erie County! We were looking for just a close-by place to camp with the kids, but we found a beautiful forest and a really nice campground. The forest is really diverse, with mixed hardwood stands (including some of the largest black cherry trees I've ever seen) alongside shady hemlock groves and pine stands. The deeply incised canyon around the creek is a nice bit of topography. We saw lots of cool mushrooms (tho no edibles) and wildlife too. The campground is really nice and spacious and they don't allow generators, which is a huge pet peeve or mine. I'm docking one star for the obnoxious person in the RV blasting Grateful Dead tapes until 2am, audible from a half mile away. (Jerry was hot in '77, no argument, but my kids were woken up repeatedly...
