The state of Pennsylvania prohibits the movement of all types of firewood into the state from out-of-state sources, unless it has been certified, heat-treated to 160F for 75 minutes and is properly labeled. 

Regardless of the county you are in, Pennsylvania state authorities agree it is best to buy firewood near where you’ll burn it, buy certified heat-treated firewood, or gather firewood on site when permitted. The Pennsylvania Department of Natural Resources has issued a statewide park advisory with the following recommendations:

• Buy and burn locally cut firewood (preferably within 25 miles)
• BURN ALL firewood brought from another area
• Encourage friends and neighbors not to move firewood
• Do NOT remove firewood from a spotted lanternfly quarantine area

If you are arriving to the campground late in the evening, please stop at the Contact Station where you will find an envelope with your name on it with information regarding self-registration. 

A reschedule to different site/dates, or a refund, minus reservation and processing fees, will be issued only if we are notified two weeks (14 days) prior to your arrival date. 

Cancellations within two weeks (14 days) of arrival are non-refundable and non-transferable. There will be NO REFUNDS or RESCHEDULING for late cancellations, no-shows, late arrivals, illness, or inclement weather. Camping is a great outdoor experience; therefore, we do not give refunds due to discomforts of nature, illness, or work schedules. This includes no shows and early check-outs. 

Yough Lake Campground reserves the right to cancel any reservation at anytime. The Youghiogheny River Lake is a flood-control facility maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers (US ACE). All campsites are located within the flood zone. The US ACE maintains the right to flood the campground at any time. A full refund will be issued if Yough Lake Campground has to cancel a reservation due to flooding or weather. 

The US ACE also maintains the right to drop the level of the lake at anytime. This could make the ramp, docks, and/or beach area at Yough Lake Campground unusable. Cancellations due to low water levels follow the same policy as our standard cancellation policy. Notice of cancellation must be given 14 days prior for a refund/reschedule. 

There is a two night stay minimum for weekends. And a three night stay minimum for holiday weekends. 

We offer overnight dock slips to registered campers who have current reservations. Dock slips are $30 per night.
