The federal government purchased the site in 1926, adding it to the
newly formed Allegheny National Forest. In the 1930s, the Forest
Service reconstructed the old Loleta mill pond, using CCC labor,
then added a bathhouse, swimming area, picnic shelters and landscaping. The distinctive quality of CCC workmanship is evident
today in the dam stonework and the log construction of the old
bathhouse. The camping loops were added in the 1960's.
Loleta offers 38 campsites. Campsites in the upper
loop are recommended for tents and small RV’s or trailers. The lower
loop campsites have electric hookups and will accommodate tents,
and RV’s or trailers up to 50'. Each campsite has a tent pad, picnic
table, and fire ring. Many sites in the lower loop are close together
and are suitable for multiple family use. Reservations are available for selected sites.
Two group camping areas are available for groups up to 50 people.
Treated water, vault toilets, picnic tables and fire rings are available
at both sites. Group sites must be reserved.

- Pressurized Water Hydrants
- Vault Toilets within the campground
