What campers like

The tent sites were small and crammed together," explains Matthew D., noting the differences between state park camping and private rv campgrounds near Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.

Bathroom facilities: Amenities differ widely across locations. "The bathrooms are also filthy and on the weekends kids run in and out of them to play," reports Becky C. about RV Resort Village, contrasting with better-maintained facilities elsewhere.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: Prepare for varying terrain when positioning larger rigs. "All kinds of sites. Reserve early for Holiday Weekends as it fills up. Lots of seasonals. Is a little pricy but not as bad as other places like it I have been to," advises Mathew H. about Austin Lake RV Park.

Golf cart traffic: Some rv campgrounds near Beaver Falls feature heavy internal vehicle use. "They also have an abundance of golf carts here. Which is fine until you're trying to take a walk and you have to walk into someone else's camp to get out of their way," notes Becky C. about RV Resort Village.

Hookup variations: Check specific utility connections before booking. "Dump connections too high," notes HD J. about RV Resort Village, while other Pennsylvania camping facilities offer more standardized connections.
