The wildlife center located at Sinnemahoning State Park is amazing. There is a really nice…read moreinteractive exhibit about the nature and history of the area, with some excellent kid-friendly features like a cave to crawl through to find animal displays. It also features a nice large classroom space with activities and short films - on the day we visited, it was alternating between videos on elk and eagles. The restrooms were exceptionally clean and in good condition. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The park has a lot of things to explore - and keep your eyes peeled for elk as you go! There was a sighting of a large bull while we were there. There is a reservoir created by a dam that offers opportunities for boating and fishing, and the dam is a great place to get a good overlook of the area. They offer pontoon boat tours on Sundays during parts of the year, but unfortunately, ours got cancelled due to the boat needing a repair. Camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing areas are also available in the park. We really enjoyed our visit here!

Fortunately, I didn't! I stopped at the wild center- a gorgeous looking and clean facility with a very friendly staff. They rent out kayaks, canoes, life jackets, and bikes for a donation of "any amount". Later I spent 2 hours photographing all the verdant beauty of spring. Such a gorgeous park. Couldn't catch sighting of an elk or eagle, but saw lots of frogs in the creek. By the way, they lend out FREE skis if you want to cross country ski there. They have a long and beautiful path that any beginner can do!

This place is awesome! This is exactly what I want when I go camping, or "glamping". The location…read moreis isolated and picturesque. The cabins are extremely nice, well-stocked, and well kept. The location is amazing - you're in a somewhat small area of woods, next to a river, and at the foot of a mountain (well, very large hill). We stayed in Cabin 1 which is at the end and faced away from the other cabins so we felt very secluded which is perfect. The cabins themselves are excellent. The furniture is really nice, there is a great fire pit (with plenty of wood provided!), a jacuzzi tub, a wood burning stove, a shower, and a full kitchen which has all the cooking utensils you might need. Everything is very clean and in great condition. There is a central building on the grounds which I think is either a store or has games and stuff in it, but it was closed due to covid. There is also a path you can walk down which takes you through the woods and close to the river. We didn't see any wildlife on the grounds, but I have no doubt that elks and stuff come through here and you have a good chance of seeing them. Definitely a solid choice if you want a really nice place to stay in Elk County. A few things to note about this place: - The owner doesn't like credit card payments and charges an expensive fee if you pay with one. He prefers you send him a check instead. I sent a check and everything was fine. - You can't drive up to the cabins, there is a parking lot and then you have to walk. The cabins are in reverse order, so the closest one is 10 and the furthest from the lot is 1. There are big carts you use to transport your stuff. I thought this was cool, but something to think about if you're elderly or have issues transporting your stuff. - There is no cellphone reception here, nor in the closest town Benezette. However the cabins have WiFi which works well. - The floor of the cabins looks really nice (stones), but it's super cold and...rock-like, so you'll probably want to wear some kind of slippers or shoes. - The closest town is Benezette which is 5-10 min down the road, but it literally only has like 4 businesses and twice as many houses. There is a WalMart about 25 min away if you need supplies.

Cons: 1) the road in was long 2) we didn't stay longer will definitely go back

The stargazing was spectacular and our stay at the campground was absolutely PERFECT! It began and ended with the AMAZING customer service we received. The campground's new owner, Doug, was clearly a perfect choice to oversee this peaceful haven in the middle of the breathtaking scenery of southwestern Potter County. The campground was beautifully maintained and our lodgings were cozy, comfortable and immaculate. A sincere thank you to Doug and his daughter who couldn't have been more welcoming. It made our time with our granddaughter what we had hoped it would be - a treasure. I highly recommend this place.

So much enjoyed our stay at HOLIDAY PINES CAMPGROUND…read more Arrived 8-30-18 this campground is rustic, clean and beautiful! We had a 31 ft. Trailer, pull through, full hookup. It was nice to sit outside with the leaves falling. This was special to me as I live in Florida and do not have the privileges of seeing falling leaves. Jamie the owner was very pleasant, informative. I tried calling for two days to make reservations, left messages she did return my call. Jamie is running the campground during the week by herself, said she was working outside and apologized for not answering the phone. Don't let this deter you, I am sure you would be very please!! Just another little note very much into recycling. Cans, plastic bags etc. they have big bins for them. KEEP AMERICA CLEAN

The setting was serene. A few families and individuals were fishing nearby during our stay (the water is well stocked), and everyone was very polite. We actually enjoyed chatting with some of them. It added a nice social touch without ever feeling crowded. Most of the time, our site still felt very private and tucked away. The campground staff and owners were genuinely hospitable and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for a quiet, scenic spot with good people and great fishing, I highly recommend this place.

Absolutely beautiful campground, Rudy was super nice and helpful and the cabin was quite a bit bigger than we had expected based on the pictures. The cabin itself was very basic, and firewood was provided for the wood burner. We were actually HOT one night and cracked the window, no worries about not being warm enough. The shower could use a little updating and there was a note that said sometimes the pilot light goes out and there might not be hot water and if that happened to find the owner and they would help. Luckily it worked, but it could use something other than a pallet to stand on ;) Look, it's not the holiday inn, but I would prefer a rustic cabin on beautiful land over a boring sterile hotel room any day!!

(They were calling for a possible tornado and we left early in order to get to the park before the bad wether.) We got there an hour early before check in and our cabin wasn't ready. Fine! We drove around and explored the park. There were booked pavilions with kids birthdays and a couple of graduations. We saw one park ranger with a tactical vest on and couldnt figure out why. We've NEVER seen rangers with those types of vests on especially since he was only walking around checking in with the kids birthday parties and graduations. Seemed totally excessive for the tactile gear. We came back 15 minutes before check in to the office thinking they would give us the key since the horrible weather started and they still told us to come back at 3. It was a torrential downpour and calling for a tornado we were forced to wait in our car for the 15 minutes. Went back in at 3 and they finally gave us our keys. We stayed at a cabin and the bathrooms definitely need a HUGE remodel. Once the rain stopped the ranger in the tacticle gear made it a point to come by our cabin and creep around. We thought that was weird. We stayed 4 nights and every single night the cabin beside our played very loud church music. It started at 6pm and went on until about 10 pm. Every. Single. Night. The whole cabin colony heard it. Quiet hours were to start at 9 pm. No one from the park office ever told them to stop playing their church music. We had no peace and were forced to listen to it for our entire trip every night we were at our cabin. We will not be back to this park. There are plenty of other state parks that are WAY more welcoming than this one.

The beach area is finally smoke free for those of us who are allergic to cigarettes, it's a true relief. We can enjoy the day without worrying about our eyes swelling shut because the people next to use wont stop smoking and just throwing the butts on the sand. There are designated smoking areas for those who must smoke. Pets are welcome.
