      Rustic Acres

      This 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.

      Keystone State Park Campground

      Decent place

      Stayed 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!

      Raccoon Creek State Park Campground

      beautifull park BUT!!!!

      The 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.

      Crawford's Camping Park

      Nice little campground.

      This 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.

      White Thorn Lodge - Family Nudist Campground

      Very Nice Visit

      Spent three nights there in August Mid-week.  Was pretty quiet but was clean and nicely taken care  of.  No mosquitos or bugs at night.  Nice walking paths.  Pool, hot tub, outdoor showers all very nice.

      Lazy Acres Campground

      DO NOT BRING KIDS HERE

      Advertised 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 !!!

      Bear Run Campground

      Nice family campground

      We love camping here. There are a few things to do, swim in the pool, mine for gem stones, they have an arcade and a playground. It’s in a wooded area near lake Arthur with a boat ramp down the Road.

    Guide to Cabot

    Mountain and river landscapes define the area around Cabot, Pennsylvania, with many pet-friendly campgrounds positioned between 1,100 and 1,300 feet of elevation. The region sits within the Appalachian Plateau, creating varied terrain for camping and hiking with pets. Several campgrounds remain open year-round, while others operate seasonally from April through October.

    What to Do

    Kayaking at Crooked Creek Lake: The lake provides calm waters for pet-friendly paddling near the shore. "The lake is great for kayaking or small boats. We fish and kayak the creek opposite the lake," notes Jennifer P. at Crooked Creek Lake.

    Hiking wooded trails: Multiple connecting trails span thousands of acres around Cabot's campgrounds, many allowing leashed pets. At Breakneck Campground, "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," shares Britt B.

    Swimming with dogs: Several campgrounds offer water access where pets can cool off. "The creek at the bottom of the hill is a true hidden gem and our kids and dogs love splashing in the water to cool off on a hot day," reports Abby L. about Breakneck Campground.

    What Campers Like

    Mountain views: Elevated campsites provide scenic overlooks while camping with pets. "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," describes Jennifer H. about Mountain Top Campground.

    Creek-side sites: Private camping spots along water create secluded pet-friendly options. "We loved our stay! We definitely lucked out with one of the best campsites; we were right next to the creek, it was super spacious and super private," says Taylor S. about primitive camping at Breakneck Campground.

    Campground layouts: Many sites provide adequate spacing for pets to settle in comfortably. "Campground is very nice. A lot of sites with plenty of room at each site. Bathrooms were very clean as well," notes Tyler R. about Smith Grove.

    What You Should Know

    Grey water disposal systems: Some campgrounds have unique waste management setups. "Since they sit atop the mountain, the grey water hookup is a long hose that has an adapter which hooks up to your black and grey tank outlet and it runs down the hillside of the mountain into the grassy area," explains Dave at Mountain Top Campground.

    Shower facilities: Campground shower amenities vary significantly. "The central bathroom, pay shower, and laundry room had ac, a couch and were quite clean," states john H. about Mountain Top Campground.

    Reservation requirements: Campground booking systems differ by location. At Bear Run Campground, "This campground is deceptively big! The nightly RV sites are close to the park entrance and are relatively flat. The campground hosts themed events, game nights and arts&crafts," explains Britt B.

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Activity schedules: Check campground calendars for family-friendly programs. "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!" notes Bettina A. at Bear Run Campground.

    Tent platform options: Raised tent sites provide unique sleeping arrangements for families. "Breakneck is a private campground on the edge of the McConnell's Mill State Park. 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," explains Britt B.

    Quiet camping spaces: Some locations offer more peaceful environments for families with pets. "We love staying here when we visit family in Butler it's a quiet family run park. It is very affordable and bathrooms are clean," says Deborah P. about Smith Grove.

    Tips from RVers

    RV access routes: Some campgrounds have challenging approach roads requiring careful navigation. "The hardest part is finding it. The roads get narrow so if in an RV call them for the easiest way in. If you are Overlanding like us just follow the map. Great scenic routes and close to the spot you want to see in Pittsburgh," advises Corey L. at Raccoon Creek State Park.

    Hookup limitations: Review campground utility offerings before arriving. "No black sewer hookup (does have dump station and honey wagon)," notes James B. about Mountain Top Campground, adding they have "30 + 50amp services, grey water dump on most sites, water."

    Site dimensions: Campgrounds vary in their ability to accommodate larger rigs. "This campground was perfect for what we needed to accomplish! As first time travel trailer owners, they helped us accomplish our first trip away! 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," shares jon H. at Indian Brave Campground.
