    Hickory Hollow Campground

    A new favorite quick getaway for me and the wife

    This campground checks all our boxes. Beautiful scenery, quiet location, spacious campsites, full RV hookups, well-placed fire rings, dog park, nice large bathhouses, polite staff, and Wi-Fi that works. 

    This is located about an hour away from my home, so we plan on making this our go-to for quick camping getaways throughout the year. 

    Highly recommended. Definitely worth checking out.

    Pioneer Lakes RV Park

    This place was not for us

    Preface: if your main objective is activities for children, you have come to the right place. This place is loud and full of kids.

    We booked a site but chose not to pay to select which one. All the pictures looked great! We ended up on a grassy hill in the back. The spot was so unlevel there were 19 inches between my bottom step and the ground. This site was the same price as level ones closer to activities.

    Also bathrooms were outdated. They had older residential toilets that plugged constantly. The day we left 2 of the 3 in our nearest bathroom were out of order.

    Aside from all the above, the Dog Park is awesome. It’s the size of a real, normal dog park. The ice cream on site is also a nice perk.

    Hickory Hollow Campground

    Wow!

    This may be the first campground I give a 10 out of 10! All the amenities your could want, it's clean, sites are leveled, it's maintained beautifully, there are cows in the distance, fully stocked store, friendly staff. Laundry, bathrooms, fairly spacious sites, a pool, dog park. Very, very nice.

    New Germany State Park Campground

    A crowded car camping experience

    New Germany State Park is situated in Garrett County Maryland. The park has a small lake, a few trails, and two camping loops. The Hemlock loop- the only loop that allows pets, is smaller and is mostly made for tent camping, though one site has electricity, but only big enough for a teardrop camper. There is a bathroom with a hot shower. The problems with the Hemlock loop is the proximity to the other campers. Our neighbors were loud, their kids were louder and their dog was ear- splitting loud. The tent pads are varied in size with sites 52, 53 and 57 being just big enough for a large tent and not much else. Every site has a large picnic table ( that is impressively hard to move) and a fire ring. Some sites are not very level, not not as much that your rolling out of bed in your sleep. There is water, but just at the bathroom area. This makes sense since the loop itself is very small. Deer are dense in these parts, and bears frequent the area. Summer temps usually do not get as nice 85max most of the summer. There is also cross country skiing in the winter. Despite the smaller sites, the Hemlock loop is frequently full, as is the non pet loop, which can accommodate larger tents and RV’s., but no pets.

    Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA

    Awesome staff!

    Very conveniently located off the interstate. Follow the signs to the campground NOT the GPS in order to avoid some narrow and sharp turn roads. Staff were super friendly! Front desk staff were knowledgeable and and helpful. We had some issues with our power, and Larry was at our site within minutes to fix it. Big open dog park! There are only a few shaded spots. Spot width was a little narrow where we stayed (on the hill), but perfect for a quick overnight stay. Bathrooms were fairly clean, laundry was nice. The pool looked very well maintained.

    Hickory Hollow Campground

    Soooo spacious!

    I was the only tenter at the time of my stay; had the whole place to myself. The sites are spread far apart and wooded. Table and fire rings are at each site. They have a brand new bath house which was spotless and a well kept dog park for the furs. If desired, there is a group campsite and the use of a pavilion too. The camp store if beautiful and has everything in it should you forget something. I’ll definitely be back.

    Laurel Hill State Park Campground

    Nice state park with a lake

    Stayed 3 nights because I wanted to be centrally located to the he Flight 93 Memorial and Falling Water (about 30 miles to each). The non pet section is heavily wooded and very shady. The pet section is more of a loop set up with some trees. The no pet section had no, zero, zilch cell service so my stay was super quiet. Site 173 was easy to back into and had a large picnic area with a fire ring next to the brook. There is a lake with a small beach and a boat launch and numerous hiking trails. The park will s very nice pretty and during the week fairly empty. I would recommend

    Laurel Hill State Park Campground

    Be Sure to Pick the Right Loop

    There are two main loops in this campground. One that is pet friendly and more of a pitch-your-tent-in-the-yard thing and another that is pet-free and wooded. We didn't realize and stayed in the first one. Dogs were barking at all hours and there's no privacy. We drove through the other one and it looks so much nicer. Campsites more spread out with trees in between and way quieter. Will definitely stay there if we return.

    Swallow Falls State Park Campground

    Beautiful Hike

    The kids had so much fun playing in the water we didn’t have time to hike and see all of it. We spent time in Swallow Falls as well as neighboring Herrington Manor state park where they have a “beach” for swimming and boat and SUP rentals. The prices for rentals were very reasonable and the concession stand was cheap!!! 2.50 for large fries, $1 snow cones, it was nice to splurge on snacks and not drop a small fortune.

    We stayed at the camp ground in swallow falls in a pop up camper. The camp ground was quiet and well maintained though it is more suitable for tents and not trailers or RV’s. The bathrooms were decent for public bathhouses, they were cleaned daily but the were outdated. I would definitely come back but maybe with a tent next time and not the trailer. The camp store had the necessities at fair prices. Firewood is sold for $4 a bundle.

    We did have a pet friendly site reserved but found out after we arrived that dogs are not allowed out of the campground. In order to hike with our dog we had to access the trail just outside the state park. This would have been nice information to have before arriving with our pet. Pets are allowed within the park Labor Day through Memorial Day.


Guide to Brownfield

Around Brownfield, Pennsylvania, campers find diverse terrain where the Laurel Highlands meet the Youghiogheny River valley at elevations between 1,200-2,800 feet. Winter camping opportunities extend beyond summer months with several campgrounds remaining open year-round despite seasonal snowfall averaging 30-40 inches annually. This region offers distinctive camping experiences across primitive tent sites, riverfront spots, and full-amenity RV parks within a 20-mile radius of Brownfield.

What to do

River fishing access: Tub Run Rec Area maintains waterfront sites with direct fishing opportunities. "The lake is beautiful and they offer access to the lake with their boat ramp. Very peaceful and not far from rafting and other activities," reports camper Tracy K.

Kayaking and canoeing: Youghiogheny Lake provides multiple water entry points for paddlers. One camper at Tub Run notes, "We camped here with our RV and boat. Yough lake is small, but fun to explore. Good fishing."

Star gazing platform: A dedicated observation area at Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground offers clear night sky viewing. "Got a nice secluded spot to camp in the wooded area that had a amazing mountain views and the star gazing platform," writes Tom C., highlighting this unique amenity.

Disc golf course: Tall Oaks Campground recently added this activity to their facilities. As Indy A. mentions, "They just added a disc golf course to the campground as well. We are already planning another trip back!"

Biking the Great Allegheny Passage: The GAP trail connects directly to several campgrounds. One reviewer at The Blue Canoe RV Resort explains, "The GAP trail rolls right through the middle of this traditional KOA campground. The seasonal RVers and weekend warriors have long claimed their sites, but for through riders on the trail there is a special place to camp."

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Tall Oaks Campground receives consistent praise for spacious, secluded sites. Camper Tom C. notes, "The nice people gave us a great spot in the woods, very private and room for the kids to explore." Another reviewer adds, "Big spaces to camp, private and spacious."

Clean bathroom facilities: Campers at Yough Lake Campground appreciate well-maintained facilities. "The bathrooms were awesome and kept very clean. Having firewood and ice at the front along with a small store was also a bonus," reports Natalee M.

Firewood delivery service: Several campgrounds offer this convenient option. At Tall Oaks, Tom C. mentions, "For $7 you can get a huge pile of nice dry wood delivered right to your site, no complaints!!"

Family-friendly activities: Planned events keep children engaged at several locations. A reviewer at Benner's Meadow Run writes, "Great place for kids! Family friendly atmosphere, cordial staff, well run campground. Lots of activities. Tree shaded sites!"

Hammock accommodations: The Blue Canoe RV Resort has specific features for hammock campers. "The picnic tables and fire rings are surrounded by hammock poles and there's lots of space for scattered tents," notes Shari G.

What you should know

Primitive vs. full-hookup options: Scarlett Knob Campground offers basic sites at lower prices. "It's very cheap and rustic. The sites are pretty spread out and full of trees. So for tent camping it is fantastic," reports Bradley B., who adds, "Overall it's great if you know you are roughing it with some luxuries."

Seasonal water levels: Lake access can vary throughout the year. One Tub Run camper notes, "In contrast to the other reviews, we didn't enjoy this campground very much... If the water levels had been higher this year, we would have enjoyed this more given the beach/swimming area and dock."

Bathroom maintenance varies: Facilities receive mixed reviews at some campgrounds. At Scarlett Knob, a camper cautions, "Facilities are not kept up so they are dirty and need some love... The pit toilets are actually pretty ok. The showers could use some TLC as well."

Road conditions: Some campgrounds have difficult access routes. A Tub Run reviewer mentions, "Tub Run Road is a rough (but pretty) ride to the campground. Once you hit the property, everything is well-maintained."

Noise considerations: Train tracks and high-traffic areas impact some locations. At The Blue Canoe RV Resort, a camper notes it's "So quiet cept for the occasional train pass by across the river."

Tips for camping with families

Swimming options: Coopers Rock State Forest connects to nearby swimming areas. A visitor to Tub Run reports, "There is a beach in campground but found the drive to Yough lake perfect. Site #5 is where We stayed and it was perfect for the small children to play in the creek behind us."

Playground equipment: Multiple campgrounds offer play areas for children. As one camper at Benner's Meadow Run states, "So much to do for the kids. Clean and well kept."

Field sites for large groups: Tall Oaks accommodates extended family gatherings. "They offer tent sites, van life/electric sites, RV sites, pavilions and even field sites for huge groups (75 people)," notes Indy A.

Creek exploration: Children enjoy wading in shallow waterways at several locations. At Tub Run, a camper shares, "Site #5 is where We stayed and it was perfect for the small children to play in the creek behind us there was the perfect pathway down to the creek."

Pet-friendly hiking trails: Dogs are welcome throughout the region's trail networks. A camper at Coopers Rock mentions, "Many hiking trails of all sizes and kept clear. My dog is mostly weenie dog, and his little legs made it everywhere."

Tips from RVers

Site levelness challenges: Many campgrounds require additional equipment. At Benner's Meadow Run, one RVer notes, "The site was sloped pretty bad side to side and there is a drop off on the one side of the fire ring so we could not sit completely around the fire."

Limited 50-amp service: Check availability before booking. A Coopers Rock State Forest visitor mentions, "A new section will be opening later this season that will have elec and water," while another notes "50amp - No issues."

Water fill stations: Not all sites offer direct hookups. At Coopers Rock, a camper explains, "The sites were well maintained and all the asphalt seems to have been redone recently... no water at the site but there was water near the bathroom area."

Trailer storage options: Extended stays benefit from dedicated parking. At Tub Run, an RVer explains, "The boat ramp, slips and trailer storage made it an easy boating/camping vacation spot."

Road navigation to sites: Some campgrounds have challenging internal roads. A Sand Springs camper advises, "About 3 miles from the interstate, narrow roads. Big rigs probably hard to back in."
