Known as the “Gateway to the Laurel Highlands,” Pennsylvania’s Ohiopyle State Park consists of approximately 20,500 acres of the state’s finest and most rugged natural beauty. A quick drive from Pittsburgh and Morgantown, WV, this park can get you back to nature conveniently. The million annual visitors the park gets act as proof of just how convenient this state park is.
Camping at Ohiopyle State Park offers campers 200 campsites at the Kentuck campground, with flush toilets, warm showers, picnic tables, fire rings, and some electric hook-ups. Yurts and cottages are available as well for those looking for a more comfortable stay in the great Allegheny passage.
When visiting this state park, campers and adventurers will both notice the mighty Youghiogheny [yawki-gay-nee] River flowing through the center of the park. Capitalizing on this, the park offers whitewater boating opportunities for all experience levels. For those looking to stay on dry land, however, hiking, biking, horseback riding, hunting and rock climbing are all available in the summer months. In the colder months, cross-country skiing and snowmobile riding are available across the park.
Loved staying here! The bath houses are close, and clean. The campground is beautiful, and the cabins are nice! If you’re staying in the cabins bring a fan with you as some of the windows don’t have screens in them! Perfect location to all things/activities Ohiopyle
Really good place for camping. The cottages are good size. There is heater and somewhat hard mattress. Bringing mattress topper or something would be good idea. Handicap ones has driveway. The other ones, park and walk to the cottage. Lots of hiking trails around this area.
Really a great campground. The sites are not on top of each other like some campgrounds. Rangers give educational lectures many of the nights. Pretty good facilities. With a little bit of a steep hike you can access the Great Allegheny Passage trail for miles of beauty. Also, within easy driving distance to most of the major natural wonders of the Ohiopyle area.
This place was amazing for hosting events! We had stayed 3 days for a boy scout troop camping trip. This campground has playgrounds, accessible showers, and great views. The river is just down the mountain and allows rafting.
