Kanopolis Lake Venango
User Reviews

This is a beautiful Corp of Engineers campground with several loops of campsites of various sizes, clean bathhouses with hot showers, trails, and amazing lake views. The host are very nice and welcoming. Some sites have electric and some others include a water connection. Sanitary dumps as well. There are many different campgrounds on lake Kanopolis, but this is the best choice. (Some reviews here seem to be for other campgrounds).

The park rangers were not helpful, nosey and buggy. I've been to a lot of lakes and have never experienced such ignorance anywhere else. The wildlife, rocks, crystals, fossils and water is by far better here than anywhere else. The best time ever just exploring. If you can get passes the rump rangers you will be back time and time again.

Had a very good weekend. Not very crowded. Got a real good campsite close to the water. Good spot to park the boat.

This beach is alright but it has no readily accessible restrooms or trees to provide shade, nor tables to set up at. If you want to use the restroom, or play at the playground you have to hike up a steep sand slope first…..(and pack all your stuff up if you don’t have someone to stay with it). Additionally, dogs are not allowed.

We live out here on south side of lake. Cousin lives in vanango side. It was nice. Very concerned about the dead fish floating in the water. What's killing them?? Farm chemicals??? Illegal dumping?? Scary!!

Great park! Freshly mowed for the holiday weekend. Even though the lake was too high for much play in the water, we had a great time. Walked most of the Loder point trail, which put us over four miles (our best guess) of hiking. Very nice.

Location is relatively far from town. This could be good for you. A lot of campsites were still closed due to the recent flooding. Boat ramp nearby for boating and fishing. Very windy every day we were here, but that did help temper the heat.

This is a really wonderful campground. Clean, new shower houses, well maintained green spaces, lots of space between most campsites. Beautiful scenery and the hiking trails are great, too. Verizon signal good, and 17 over the air TV stations. Not all sites have utilities but there are many 50 amp W/E sites.
