Lovely State Park
This is a truly lovely state park situated along Kettle Creek. The creek separates the campground into two sections. We stayed in the section closest to the road, but when we go back, we will reserve across the creek because many of the campsites are right next to the creek. There are both sunny and shady sites, and all are pretty level. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring, and gravel pad. While the area is called the Black Forest, the campground itself is pretty open. 19 sites have electricity in Area 1 (across the creek); 24 are electrified in Area 2. The restrooms were very modern, clean, and bright. Though we aren’t fisherpeople, we were told by others at the campground that there is good fishing in the creek. There is a swimming beach above the dam. Ole Bull was a real person, and there is a trail that goes to the remains of his home site. In addition, the 85-mile Susquehannock Trail passes through the park and you can hike parts of that.
We were there in late August, the week before Labor Day. We didn’t reserve ahead and we didn’t have any problems getting a campsite. The campground is open all winter, but the modern restrooms are closed from about late October to April.
