    Whispering Pines Family Campground

    Lake Wateree

    Lovely GEM in the heart of Carolina. Nestled in a quiet area full of smiling faces. And the staff were extremely accommodating.

    Bear Run Campground

    Options.

    This is an amazing campground with reasonable prices, an array of camping options to suit different camping needs as well as budget range. I am unsure if I just happen to have gotten lucky and decided to go camping during a special weekend, but it’s Labor Day weekend and I am loving that there is a calendar of events for campers to participate in if they choose to. Activities include wagon rides to the lake, talent show, karaoke…etc, as well as church! This was an unexpected gem as we are from Florida and were blessed enough to stumble upon the right person in a parking lot when my husband asked if they knew of any places that we could possibly camp at nearby and that gentleman told us about Moraine Park. Upon making our way out to here, we found Bear Run and have loved our experience so far. Love it!

    Whispering Pines Family Campground

    Nee Meadow Creek campground

    Beautifully set in midst of a 360* view of mountains. Site are nicely spaced and are blessed with constant gentle breeze. Lovely wild flowers surrounded during my brief visit.

    However I was deceived seeing post and electrical hookup. Pretty sure none of them function.

    Mountain Top Campground

    Solitude peace and quiet

    You come up a winding road and emerge atop the mountain. It’s cute. Wide open grass land with sites around the perimeter. Half a dozen of them (premium) are at the edge and have a nice view to the hills beyond. Basic amenities. Some ice and fire wood that are self serve. We’re just here for the night and are hoping to catch an uber into the city for a pirates game. Place is full - ish but is super quiet. If you’re looking for a place to hang a hammock and read a book. This is it. Nice fire holes with a view.

    Chestnut Ridge Park and Campground

    Great community

    When I first got here the 2 owners went above and beyond in so many ways. Unfortunately they didn’t have a 50 amp site available so the owner gave me 30 amp converter at no cost and also helped me hook up my gray water and black water connections. They keep the area pristine and welcome everyone as if they are family.

    Great Outdoor Spot in Beaver County

    This campground is great for a little getaway. Most sites are spacious! Only downside is you can hear the airport. Not a huge deal though! We loved it

Guide to Beaver Falls

Camping near Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania ranges from secluded creek-side sites to mountain settings at elevations between 900-1,200 feet. The region experiences four distinct seasons with camping typically best from late April through mid-October when average temperatures range between 60-85°F. Winter camping options are limited as most facilities close seasonally.

What to do

Hiking opportunities: At Raccoon Creek State Park Campground, trails are maintained throughout the year. "The hiking trails are in excellent condition and the park keeps them clear of fallen debris," notes Jim L. During winter months, the park remains accessible for snow activities with one visitor sharing, "Got out for a couple hours hiking in the snow. It was great. Just what we needed to stretch the legs and enjoy some family time. We did the Palomino Loop."

Water recreation: Fishing and boating are popular at Moraine State Park. While camping is limited here, the park offers "Kayaking/Canoeing, Motor boating 15hp or less, Sailboats" according to Mitchel R. The park features "a beautiful, meandering lake with lots of coves and estuaries" making it suitable for various water activities.

Stream exploration: Creek access provides unique camping experiences at several sites. At Breakneck Campground, visitors can enjoy hiking along water features. "From our campsite we walked along the creek into McConnells Mill State Park and joined the covered bridge trail. Approx. 30min walk along the creek down into McConnells Mill State Park," reports Britt B.

What campers like

Secluded sites: Campers consistently rate privacy as a priority in this region. At Breakneck Campground, one visitor shared, "Love this small campground. We chose one of two primitive sites next to a small creek. Apart from the campers above us on top of the hill, we were a few hundred feet from the other primitive sites. Despite being just a minutes walk from our truck, we felt incredibly secluded."

Tent platforms: Unique camping structures enhance the experience at certain campgrounds. According to one camper at Breakneck Campground, "They offer RV sites, tent camping and cabins. The tent camping is either grassy, flat sites or on an elevated timber platform overlooking a gorge." Another visitor described their experience: "What a special stay we had! So close to the McConnells Mill trails, gorgeous deck spot above the gorge and low key vibe to the campground overall."

Proximity to attractions: Many campgrounds serve as bases for regional exploration. Bear Run Campground is noted for its accessibility to nearby attractions. "Very close to Lake Arthur for fishing and kayaking," mentions Pam O. Another camper highlighted, "Moraine state park is 3 minutes away with lake Aurther for sailing, canoeing, power boating, bike trails, frisbee golf coarse and swimming."

What you should know

Noise levels: Weekend activity can vary significantly between campgrounds. One camper at Beaver Creek State Park Campground observed, "The campground wasn't busy and we had a lot of privacy. The sky was dark enough to see far more stars than you'd see near any larger towns or cities." However, at other locations, noise can be an issue with one visitor reporting, "I got about 2 hours of sleep Saturday night total, and the last time I was woken up my watch said 3:48 am. Clearly there is absolutely no enforcement of the quiet hours whatsoever."

Terrain considerations: Campsite topography varies throughout the region. At Bear Run Campground, one camper noted it was "Nice campground but too hilly for kids to ride bikes." At Tomlinson Run State Park, a visitor shared, "Most of the camp sites have electricity, but most aren't level. It's the kind of place that has some really great sits and some not so great."

Water availability: Access to potable water differs between campgrounds. At Beaver Creek State Park, one camper mentioned, "They are on a well so there is limited water and they don't allow you to fill up your on board tank. Make sure you fill up before you go!" This is particularly important for RV campers planning extended stays.

Tips for camping with families

Pool facilities: Several campgrounds offer swimming options for children. Rose Point Park Cabins & Camping provides "a swimming pool, arcade, fishing, and playground" according to one visitor. Another camper noted, "This campground is great for a little getaway. There is a pool and playground for the kids."

Wildlife viewing: Nature observation opportunities abound for young campers. At Raccoon Creek State Park, one visitor shared their experience: "I had the most wonderful time on my first tent camping at Racoon Creek. We made a fire, hiked by the moonlight and swam at the warm lake at night." Another mentioned encountering "raccoons raccoons and deer" during their stay.

Overnight alternatives: For families new to camping, cabins provide an entry-level option. At Indian Brave Campground, accommodation flexibility helps first-timers: "Upon calling to book a site, we mentioned this was our first trip, they made the utmost effort to accommodate us with all of our needs. They escorted us to our campsite (which was larger than most) and made sure we had plenty of help getting backed in and set up!"

Tips from RVers

Site dimensions: RV campers should research spot sizes before booking. At Harts Content Campground, one visitor noted the "overnight spots or large and clean" making them suitable for bigger rigs. However, at other locations like Breakneck Campground, a camper cautioned they are "NO big-rig-friendly" according to their amenities list.

Hookup availability: Electric and water connections vary significantly. Rose Point Park offers comprehensive services with one camper noting, "Sites are super big and is a great family owned campground! Super close to a local ice cream shop and has a great dog park and is fully paved." This makes it particularly suitable for RVers needing full hookups.

Access roads: Navigation challenges exist for larger vehicles. One Beaver Creek State Park camper advised, "There is a road in the park (Echo Dell Road) that RV's/Trailers can't go on so make sure you approach this campground from Leslie Road!" This type of specific routing information is crucial for RVers to avoid difficult maneuvering situations.
