7 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks surround Apollo, Pennsylvania, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Mountain Top Campground in Tarentum operates year-round with big-rig friendly sites featuring 50-amp electrical service, water hookups, and sewer connections. Just 30 miles southwest, Fox Den Acres Campground provides full hookup RV sites with 30/50 amp service on level gravel pads from May through October. Pine Cove Beach Club RV Resort in Charleroi exclusively serves RV campers with year-round access to full hookup sites. "The sites are pretty spread out and spacious, so you have pretty decent privacy," notes one RV camper about Mountain Top Campground, where the pull-through sites accommodate larger rigs with ample room for slides.
Seasonal availability varies across the region's RV parks. Bush Recreation Area near Saltsburg offers electric and water hookups but no sewer connections at individual sites, though a dump station is available. Most campgrounds maintain clean shower facilities, with Mountain Top featuring a central bathroom building with air conditioning and laundry services. Cell service strength fluctuates throughout the area - Verizon users report strong LTE coverage at Mountain Top Campground but limited connectivity at more remote parks. Navigation to some RV parks requires careful planning, as one reviewer mentioned: "The road my GPS brought me in was a little tight, but manageable. There was a better route but it did have a very short bridge with a 10 ton weight limit, so be sure to really check your route."
"The GAP trail rolls right through the middle of this traditional KOA campground."
"Located on the Youghiogheny River. Many full hookups, great play ground for the kids. New pool, but not open when we stayed."

"In addition to 7,000+ acres of woods, Raccoon has pretty much anything a camper could want: good scenery; a nice little lake with a beach and concession stand (in summer); more than 20 miles of trails;"
"The Sioux sites at Raccoon are open year round. No electricity but there is a water pump and the pit toilets are clean and well (solar) lit 24 hrs."

ScoutThis is our second time staying here. Each time in October. We love it. Unlike most RV resorts this place is small and wooded. Has free Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms and an awesome community hub room for work from home or playing games. The weekends are busy but during the week it’s so quiet and peaceful. Close to so many attractions and parks that are part of the PA Wilds. Would definitely recommend.

TravelerStayed the weekend for the first time and it wasn’t bad! There were kids playing at sites nearby but that was all the noise, highway noise at all! I like how they have a spot for your tent with a picnic table and fire ring. I was in my rooftop tent on my truck so I wish the parking spot went back a little deeper for a little more privacy. But it was nice that there was bathrooms and showers within a 1 minute walk from the site! Also it says on here there is no AT&T signal, that’s not true…it’s not great but there is a bar or 2 at times!
ScoutThe park is beautiful, unlevel shade sites; is challenging to get the trailer level. unfortunately, the bathhouses are neglected, dark and full of mildew inside the showers. The park really needs to upgrade the bathhouses. The park itself is very nice and offers a lot of opportunities for outdoor exploration and hiking.
GuideThis is more a campground for RVs then tents or even roof top tents. Place is clean and the sites 90% of them are in the open. Very little shade. Travis runs the place and very nice and accommodating. Fire wood is 20 dollars for a massive amount.
TravelerStayed one night. Close to Fallingwater and Fort Necessity. The campsite was terrible; close to water and buggy, steep grade required lots of blocking to level the camper and challenging to hook up to the vehicle. Thick canopy kept Starlink from working. The worst part was the bathrooms. The one closest to our spot had no hot water. So we had to walk about a half a mile to two other restrooms and showers within 100 yards of each other. Makes no sense. Anyway, both bathrooms were filthy, had paint peeling everywhere, lots of black mold growing on the ceilings, growing everywhere. No place to hang clothes while taking a shower. One of the two toilets in each of the men’s room was probably 3 feet off the ground. Made for giants I guess! And good luck finding the visitor center. It’s hidden from view and parking is terrible. You’ll have to walk 150 yards from the nearest point of the parking lot to find it. To walk there from the bus and RV parking, add an additional 1/4 mile each way. Be aware that the visitor center store does not accept credit cards. Cash or check only. Who does that? It’s 2026 Pennsylvania!
ScoutAdvertised as a family camp but very far from it. I’ve watched this camp progressively get worse as the years go on, over priced camp with zero efforts to make anything worthwhile, run down play grounds, broken toilet paper roll holders in the bathrooms of the shower house, roads that make you feel like your off road. Owner plans “events” and then wants campers to pay for overpriced food. The owner complains nobody comes to events anymore but barely comes to them herself. The owner is VERY money hungry! And most importantly it’s home to a sex offender who the owner cherishes dearly.
It’s a shame to see how many people realized how terrible this camp was and are selling their camps because of it. The owner should open her eyes and realize she’s the reason people don’t want to be there anymore !!!
ScoutWe are here for a month and it feels like we have the place to ourselves!
ScoutCant have no fun or drink.kids get yelled at all the time..owner sneaks around looking in campers at night..they watch every thing you do. Then they throw you out because your having to much fun. Or your up after 10pm..what a joke....please dont do nothing wrong.because.youll be on the shitlist...they are very very racist ,dont ever take a black child or try to get a place to stay or even put a tent up ,cause if your Black ,they tell you their is no room for u or a tent..STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE,ITS A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES AND THEY DONT WANT NO BLACS IN THEIR CAMP GROOUND AT ALL..GO UP THE ROAD..THEY ARE NICER THERE...

Creek exploration: Mirror Lake RV Camping & Fishing offers creek play opportunities popular with families. "Alot of their sites are along a small creek which the kids play in and can float down.

Great Allegheny Passage trail access: Cyclists can directly access the GAP trail from some rv campgrounds near Apollo, Pennsylvania. "The GAP trail rolls right through the middle of this traditional KOA campground... for through riders on the trail there is a special place to camp, close to the west-bound entrance," explains a visitor at The Blue Canoe RV Resort.
Spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer well-spaced sites that provide privacy. At Rustic Acres, one camper noted, "The RV sites are large and the spacing is not crowded. The camp ground was quiet and extremely peaceful."

Pool facilities: Several campgrounds feature swimming pools for summer recreation. At Pine Cove Beach Club RV Resort, a camper mentioned, "Great: The pool & concession stand, beautifully maintained lawns and gravel campsites, modern hookups, good shower/laundry facilities, nice fire rings with built in grills, trash pickup service."
Shower facilities vary: Some campgrounds charge for shower use or have limited facilities. "Bring a quarter for a 10 minute shower! There's one 1950's bathhouse with a few stalls for hundreds of RV sites but they figure you're self-contained I suppose," notes a visitor at Fox Den Acres Campground.
Route planning considerations: Access roads to some locations can be challenging for larger vehicles. One camper at Mountain Top Campground shared, "The hardest part is finding it. The roads get narrow so if in an RV call them for the easiest way in."
Grey water disposal options: Some campgrounds offer partial hookups with innovative solutions.

A family at Bush Recreation Area shared, "We rented space 16 late August 2020 and our friends (and their kids) rented #17 on the inner circle, right next to us with the playground right behind us. Great spots! Our kids were within easy eye and earshot of the playground."
Swimming options: Pools provide reliable swimming when lake conditions aren't ideal. "The only problem is the beach is not that great. However we stayed out in the boat on the lake most of the time. It's a great place to fish and swim and just relax," notes a visitor about Bush Recreation Area.

Utility provisions: Full hookup availability varies between campgrounds. At Mirror Lake RV Camping & Fishing, a reviewer noted, "My only negative would be extra costs," referring to additional fees for certain utilities.
