On the smaller side of state parks but makes up for that being a beautiful park with a great small campground. Great rangers, awesome people at an awesome concession stand that offers basic groceries as well as gifts, ice, and wood. They're prepared food is awesome as well. Prices aren't bad. Typical concession food.

This is an awesome place. The beach was clean. The buildings are well maintained. The concession stand was affordable and has something for everyone. Plenty of picnic tables available on a first come first serve basis. Enjoy the water. Enjoy the trails. Enjoy the views.

Super fun! Never crowded! Clean for lake water! Water is always nice! Most of the time the concessions is open and the people are great! This time they had sunscreen dispensers :0 ! That was perfect!

How deep is the lake are there

David Wagner | Dec 4, 2020

They have up to 5 ft marked off to swim. About 2 foot past the 5ft rope it drops off a few more feet deep. Plenty deep enough for small boats, and kayaks, and fishing.

What are the road conditions with rainy weather.

tony mack | Dec 4, 2020

Rain would certainly not improve the gravel road but would keep the dust down. Many very narrow spots so visibility could be an issue.

How much a night

Julie Knarr | Dec 5, 2019
Kyle Haines | Dec 6, 2019

Depends on a few variables such as whether or not the site you want has electric, whether you're staying in a cabin or towing in a camper/tenting, etc. There may be info on the DCNR website but I'm not 100% sure. But you can check out this link I found for reserving a spot. https://www.reserveamerica.com/explore/poe-valley-state-park/PA/880118/campsite-availability
