We stayed in the Ledges look as we had RV and tent campers. THERE ARE NO RESTROOMS IN THIS LOOP OR IN WALKING DISTANCE TO THESE SITES. Even if it’s built for RV campers there should still be a restroom! The listing says bathroom within 1/4 mile hike….. there’s no way.
The parking pad in site 82 is uneven right to left!! Had to use leveling blocks. Tent campers were using our power box when we arrived and were running up to our site to get their devices. The first night there were fireworks in the tent area between 9-10 pm…so much for quiet hours. And we heard multiple gun shots fired, possibly from hunters. If you come here bring orange for you and your animals. Last night was severe weather and we’re still without power. No offer to help us relocate with temperatures rising to above 90 this afternoon. We’re out of here. Lackawanna we wanted to love you but this is our first and last time at this campground!!! Oh and the restrooms are clean but small. Forget ADA compliant for the showers. I went to all three loops hoping to find something a little larger but no such thing!!! Updated to add a star for Nina at the Office. She was very responsive to our feedback and pleasant to hear from!!
It was good but of you want to go camping in the woods I would not go here because there are some paths through your site and there are paved roads/drive ways
Beautiful campground, helpful and friendly staff
