We stayed here while attending The Ten Miles 4 Two Mile (TM4TM) at Two Mile Run County Park July 13 and 14 2024 Did not really explore the campground... but it was quiet, and our site (19) was clean and roomy.... easy to back in and flat...
Great Campground with full hookups. Depending on the site, you may have some trees for hammocks. All sites seems to be very shaded. Bathrooms are clean. I have not seen the showers (not sure they have). Majority of the campsites are close to each other.
Some wonderful campsites, easy access, not to close. Friendly people. Lots to do disc golf, fishing, biking, hiking, swimming, kayaking, great for for some rc fun. Good times. Will return again.
I struggled a little with this review .. was between a 3 and 4.. but we had a good time so I had to give it a 4 even with some of the issues... Lol First . The signage to get to it if your aren't familiar with the area leaves alot to be desired.. lol.. we ended up at the boat ramp area.. first.. but go where we needed eventually.. luckily we had a popup and not a huge 5th wheel or something 😬 There is no limit to the amount of dogs you can have.. I am not anti dog.. but.. I'm pretty sure no one wants to hear barking from a bazillion dogs .. lol . That being said I was impressed with how well most of the dogs behaved for the most part, generally only a few issues with the dogs going nuts whenever new dogs walked by.. also was surprised most dogs didn't appear leashed at the sites . They were when walking . I would have been more concerned had I had young children. There is one shower house (2 other flush toilet areas)and it was pretty clean even tho it was older.. my issue was with the silly push button water .. I would be ok if it was timed at say.. 2min.. then you had to push again.. but mine.. and I didn't try them all but my husband did say his was the same .. was about 30 seconds.. 😬🫤 pain in the butt to just wash my hair . I assume this may be because all sites are full hookups they assume you really aren't using the shower🤷♀️ There was no enforcing of quiet time that I could see.. our neighbors the first night we're up talking loudly till after 1 am .. I generally am not concerned till about midnight but found it odd no ranger of any kind even stopped by.. again not a huge deal but when your packed in so close a little courtesy goes a long way. Plus always pack ear plugs . Lol Wish they sold firewood and ice on the premises but there is a small general store about 5 min up the road so not too bad . The site we were at was very well taken care of .. we were along the water.. in section 3 .the site as I said is full hookups very convenient. In general a nice place .. access to the water for tubing and fishing .. wish sites were further apart and prefer less dogs .. I would have given in 3.5 if I could ..
It's a typical COE Park. Nice well marked trails🥾🚶 Great fishing 🚣♂️and the beautiful boating area. Well maintained. Lots of history. The first time I've ever seen wheelchair accessible picnic tables!
