Our site was level as was the ones around us. Some separation between sites but little vegetation. Full hook ups and no cell service. Great hiking and access to water activities.

We had a full hook up site on a Memorial Day weekend that was very spacious with a small stream on the edge of the site. Very quiet site that was level. Even know if was a holiday weekend, the park was quiet and did not seem crowded at all.

We had to change sites to stay two nights but it was workable. Site 48 was ok but very open and not very level. The bath house for this loop was newer and had a laundry that was nice. Site 25 was on the lake side in trees so shady. We liked the town of Wellsboro and we loved the bike trail Pine Creek rail trail. We started at the north point just outside of Wellsboro. The nort section of the trail has had some wash out areas that were manageable. With e bikes we did 33 miles 16 out and back to Wellsboro. Would like to see the south part from Jersey Shore. We visited the Flight 93 Memorial after we left this park. Very worthwhile experience.

Stopped here for an overnight before heading north.
Dirt roads leading up to the park made for a dirty camper.
Stayed in C loop, site 55. Electric hookup only. Site had a weird lot size and was not level, but backed up to trees. Some sites had crushed gravel, but ours did not. If I came back, I'd choose a different site.
We had cell service (so we were able to work remotely) but in areas close to park, we had no cell service and had a dead zone.
We were happy to be only 10 minutes to Mansfield where we grabbed dinner at the local brewery.

typical of the great job that PA does with its state parks. we cut short our stay at nearby Leonard Harrison because we needed some cell phone signal to work. LH was nice, but Hills Creek is just beautiful. just enough little hills to make it interesting. lots of trees and well groomed grassy areas. many of the sites are separated from others. we stayed during third week of April 2021 just after the park opened, so only loops A and B were open. we walked through C and D and they are similarly scenic. our site (50) was listed as 50A, but it had 20A, 30A, and 50A. other nearby sites were the same. we also had water and sewer at our site. there is also a dump station. some lakefront sites that are close together and only fit small RVs. there was a warning about cyanobacteria in the lake, so check before you go if you or your pets plan on getting in the water.
the roads getting there are typical twisting turning narrow PA back roads. scary fun with an SUV pulling a 24' trailer. we really enjoyed the hiking trails and imagine our grandchildren would have loved riding their bikes around the campground and exploring the trails. deer walked through in the morning and evening. saw a big red-headed woodpecker across from our site.
nearby Wellsboro is a gem of a small city with several cool places to eat and shop.
Pine Creek Gorge is about 30 minutes drive.
T-Mobile signal was sometimes ok for messages and short calls, AT&T was a little better, Verizon was good for our hotspot for emails and low speed upload/downloads. we did not try streaming. because of the hills, signal varied around the park.

We wanted to visit the Grand Canyon of PA and looked at several choices in the area. Given the heat, we chose this state park because we were able to get a full hookup site. The campground was nice, well taken care of. We loved the location of our site (47), but it was frustratingly not level. Didn’t use the bathrooms or showers. We did drive thru the other state parks nearby (Colton Point and Leonard Harrison). CP was beautiful but rustic and probably would be best for small RVs or tents. LH had some nice sites with electric, but it wasn’t as woodsy and private it seems as where we were. Would stay again for sure. The hike around the lake was a nice 3 mile walk too. Overall, really glad we chose this park.

Large campground with variety of site types. I was able to get a shady site that was fairly level. Me and my cat were happy with it. Had electricity but not water. Quiet. Moderate walk to restroom. Only issue was that it was a long way down twisty roads to get there.

Our Garmin 660 LMT RV got us here off Route 6, although we were on a one lane road at some point, perhaps it wasn't the best route. The campground roads are narrow with sharp turns and may be more suited for smaller rigs like our 26 ft. Class C. We were in the A loop and our site was called on the reserve website a "modern electric" site, no other hookups. We have a pull through site that was very level for us but might not be for a big rig. There was 20, 30 and 50 amp receptacles at our site. There was an additional $6 transaction fee to reserve. The shower rooms on our loop were very clean and had either been recently remodeled or were new and functioned very well. There was a laundry room in loop B we used, $2.25 to wash and $.25 per 8 minutes to dry, only one washer and one dryer. We parked our RV in a nearby vacant site while we did laundry, there are 2 small parking spots at the laundry, one is for handicap, you might get a small RV in one if you backed it in over the curb. The machines worked well and the room was clean. There are nice trails here and large well kept lawns in the day use areas. The ranger where we checked in was very friendly and helpful. It is about a 30 minute drive from here to Leonard Harrison State Park where there are viewpoints and trails along the rim of Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon. We chose to camp here instead because of the availability of cell service for our mobile internet hotpot and making calls. Verizon service was 2 bars and increased to 4 bars 4g LTE with our Weboost cellular booster. There is an available dump station and potable water. It was quiet while we were here. Would definitely stay here again.
