Social Distancing & Mask Signs are displayed, but only Rangers WORE MASKS. No campers did & everyone enjoyed breathing πŸ‘ƒ the FRESH AIR 🌞 Small rustic 25 site campground. Cell phone service. All non electric. All pet friendly. All have tent or camper space on every site. Many back to the woods. No Shepard hooks. Older picnic tables, but some were getting replaced while there. Clean older bathrooms with flush toilets & hot/cold sinks, but no showers. Several pavilions on premises for camper use. Dumpster & dump station. Several fresh water pumps in campground. Firewood bundles for $5.00, but plenty of downed limbs to scavenge for your own firewood. No formal activities and no non-denominational church service on Sunday mornings during summer like bigger campgrounds. Easy hiking trail right from campground. Needs some updating and historic buildings in park not in useπŸ˜”. Much potential though. If you want quiet (meaning less people as you do hear Highway 80 day & night) & low key camping, this is the place. Plenty of room to throw a ball or bring or do other outdoor games with your family as Day Use area right across the street. Also road has little traffic, but easy access off 80. We transferred from Parker Dam up the road because sites were too small, not tent friendly as advertised, & way too overcrowded for our liking. Best decision we made for our camping style. Enjoy if you decide to stay here🌲🌲🌲 2022 Update: New showers & bathrooms ONLY for cabin rentals. Found an old horseshoe pit by where firewood is sold.

This place is absolutely amazing! And at a price that anyone can afford, the cabin was beautiful inside and out it was like stepping back in time but with the modern essentials if needed. Had the greatest time and there are so many backroads to explore and with the snow it was quite the experience. We will be going back as soon as possible here.

A nice, quiet, little park that offers a camping area and plenty of trails. A few of the trails could be blazed better which made some more difficult to follow at certain points. Definitely grab a park map before hiking. I-80 could be heard faintly in parts of the park

Made s quick stop to see what it was like, it was somewhat well maintained, but the pavilion seemed to be full of wind blowing leaves. There is a small campground there that is very quiet. There was only 2 spots occupied on the Sunday morning I stopped. There was no hookup sites except for the campground host. But there was a dump station and water available for filling you tank. It is really close to I-80 so if you were traveling and needed a cheap stop for the night, it would work well. The campground is on a nice wooded setting with a blacktop access road. There's no showers, but there's a restroom with running warm water.

How much is it to rent cabins out at Elliot Park and Parker Dam per month

Can't stay for a month. Max stay is usually 2 weeks. Go to https://pennsylvaniastateparks.reserveamerica.com/welcome.do. There you can look up prices and make reservations up to 11 months in advance for most all PA state parks facilities
