If you like this kind of camping its ok. I like a more rustic setting. I also do not understand why you would pay for camping in the Upper Penn. when there is so much free state land that you can camp for free. Sites are very close together. Its over rated. Nice beach area and showers though.
Good place to camp, nice people good swimming area for kids, shallow waters close to beach edge. Good spaces to camp in
I have never been more disgusted in my life the showers are hardly cleaned and filthy especially when you stay there for four nights and use the same showers and notice long hair and dirt on it from your fist stay. On top of all this the dnr pissed me off because it felt like I couldn't camp due to them driving by every two seconds. I felt like my privacy was invaded I will never camp there again
If your into organized camping good place. They also supervise Craig lake state park. Great rustic spot. Check it out. If your looking for a good hike or a day at the beach they have you covered.
One soap dispenser in the ladies bathroom?? And it's empty.... Shower lights turn off at 1:00am, so after a late arrival and in the shower, it went black with no way of turning them back on. Then, saw on the bulletin board outside that the lights turn off from 1 a.m. until 6 a.m. daily. This would have been nice to laminate and put in the showers. It is near train tracks so the train was loud at 1:30 a.m. but luckily we were still awake. There are A LOT of kids here - maybe a good thing if you have kids however if you're looking for something quieter, this would not be the place. Good points- the lots are very large, however the fire pits are pushed away over on the lot line so it's practically on the neighbors lot which was also right next to our neighbors tent.
