My wife and I had never stayed at the French Creek Campground. We own a 34' Keystone Cougar travel trailer. In looking at the campground details there is one site, #16 listed as tent only, and the other are listed as tent, RV, and travel trailer. The RV/trailer lengths vary from 30' to 45'. I choose #15 because it would accommodate a 45' RV/Trailer. When we arrived the first observation was how tight the spots are. We looked at #15 and decided to give it a shot. I have full confidence backing a trailer, and my approach was good. However, due to the tight turn needed to get the trailer in the spot, the front wheels of the truck had to be on the very edge of the road ... the road gave away and the truck dropped enough that the tongue of the trailer was in the dirt. This could have been a catistigfic situation, and I was extremely lucky I was able to get out of this. I had to back up a bit more, put it in 4 wheel, and creep the front wheels back on the road. A short time later it begin to rain, had it been raining when this happed, I would not have been able to get out of this predicament. In closing, this is a great spot if you are in a tent, or a cabover camper, but anyone hauling a trailer with any length has no business there. Maybe an R-Pod would be okay, but this site should not be listing that it can accommodate travel trailers, especially a 45' trailer. We got lucky and found another campsite at the state park. I canceled the French Creek reservation, and received a partial refund. I believe a full refund would have been appropriate ... had I become stuck and had to call for help, I would be doing more than leaving a review.

Campsites are close together and people were really loud up until midnight/1am every night. Bathrooms are very clean. The dirt road coming to the campsite isn't maintained so it's a bit rough to drive on.
