Beautiful and well maintained park. Campsite is nice. Pool near the main entrance is open most days and extremely well maintained, max depth is a little under 6ft. Bathrooms available at the pool, and up at the campsite. Definitely not near any towns or stores though; it's nice and quiet.

Blue Knob lacks boating and is a disjointed park. It is well maintained but more vistas need to be opened. The roads leading to the park have wonderful views but too much growth hides them at the park. I found the best view at the top of the ski lifts at Blue Knob Resort. In the distance, several gaps in the mountains make them look like they weave in and out among each other. I did not include a picture, as the fires in our western states made the air too milky to get a good picture. Also, the swimming pool is a great distance from the camping. (and not open this summer 2021). So what's good. About 50 tent and trailer sites. However some are very much in the sun. There are three cabins and a house to rent. There is also a remote group camping area with it's own pool (currently not filled). There's 23 miles of hiking on 9 trails. Mountain bike on 19 miles of trails, house ride on 7 miles of trails, and 7 picnic pavilions including the ones right off route 869 to the west of the main park. In winter enjoy cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and of course the 1050 foot downhill skiing at Blue Knob Lodge.

From what I saw of the trails, they are not friendly to wheelchairs. But there is a wheelchair accessible pool in the park.

You absolutely can keep the limit of trout and yes the fishing is very good! I'm the Park Ranger and the prices are the same!

The cabins and unique house have everything you need except towels and toiletries. Activities are limited in the winter. Its a secluded place but beautiful.
