Mountain terrain affects accessibility at several RV parks in the region. Navigation into campgrounds may require careful driving through winding roads with elevation changes and occasional sharp turns. Cell service varies significantly across the area, with several reviewers noting weak or non-existent coverage at parks farther from major highways. Most RV campgrounds operate seasonally from April through October, though Raystown Lake/Saxton KOA remains open year-round. Dump stations are available at nearly all RV parks, but sewer hookups at individual sites are less common. Pets are permitted at all listed campgrounds, making the region suitable for travelers with animals. Propane fill services and laundry facilities are generally unavailable, requiring travelers to plan for these needs in nearby towns.

Enormous property, but...
We spent a long weekend for walks in the woods, seeing the fall colors, and all around a huge lake.
What We Liked:
- Even though the sites are sloped, they’re huge. I like that a lot.
- This property is enormous. They have a marina on the lake, a wedding facility, conference center, lots of cabins which look pretty good, and tent sites in addition to the RV sites. Go say hi to the goats behind the store. The property is amazing!
- If you’re interested, it’s a 90-minute drive to the Flight 93 Memorial— well worth the trip!
Things to Keep in Mind:
- The roads getting there are like a roller coaster. This isn’t the resort’s fault, but something you need to know if you’re going there.
- The sites are sloped. Took several blocks to get even close to level. I may be spoiled, but I really appreciate a level site.
- No sewer connection. There’s a dump station available, but just know the sites are water and electric only.
Would We Return?
- Probably not. It’s not fun driving in that area and there’s nothing much to do in the area.

GuideCrooked Run Campground — Prince Gallitzin State Park
Very large CG. I car camped at site 066 (with electric) in mid-October and CG was 3/4 empty. Nice location on Glendale Lake with a beach and boat activities (for warmer months). Showers had no hot water but facilities were nice. Very little separation between sites. Nearby hunters discharging guns into evening hours.

Hosack Run
Quiet & Dog friendly - 20minutes from Gettysburg Battfields
This pet friendly campground in Caledonia State Park is .8 miles from the larger Chinquapin campground (no pets), ranger station and swimming pool. Our site #171 was level, paved, full hook ups and next to modern clean bathrooms with flush toilets, warm showers and outside dish washing sinks. Many available sites with and without services on a Sunday in October. There were a good number of friendly, tidy, long term campers with large wall tents. (They allow 21 day stays after Labor Day)

Great primitive camping
Beautiful area. Very primitive, which is great. Roads were fairly decent to the campsite. Didn't stay near the water and no mountain view but still nice. Had a nice trail into the woods.
Jill S.ScoutFifteen Mile Campground — Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park
Safe, clean, and beautiful!
The campground is a nice size with enough space between sites to feel as though you have some privacy.
We reserved site 4 online but someone had set up there when we arrived. Site 6 was open and it had a better view anyway and was farther away from the toilets, so we didn’t mind.
The boat launch is right there which we planned to paddle board in the morning, but got rained out. The river looks really nice and clean though.
Tables and fire pits are a great size. We saw some gorgeous stars as there isn’t any light pollution.
It’s only half hour from Berkeley Springs, so fill up your spring water for free there and then come enjoy the campsite!
Will definitely return.

Green Ridge State Forest
Secluded Site
This was my second time staying at Greenridge in my twenty foot Dodge Ram RV van. This was a convenient first stop on my trip to Yellowstone NP. I arrived mid afternoon on a Saturday in August and there were plenty of sites available.
The sites are spaced apart and while I could see other sites were occupied as I drove to mine, I did not see or hear other people the entire length of my stay.
The dirt road leading to the site was well maintained and in good shape despite recent heavy rain.
The site was just few miles from the highway, making it easy for me to continue my journey the next morning.

Quiet campground with private sites
This quiet campground has plenty of wooded campsites that offer privacy to campers. We were in the electric loop and it can be a bit tight if your rig is larger, and also you need to be prepared to level your rig in several different directions. But all in all, it was a great spot for an overnight day and we even got to check out some of the trails. Very nice park overall.

First time I ever left a campsite early , complete waste of money
Trip -week before labor day , temps 93 degrees, nothing on website when booked said about peak and non peak days on booking page. Said there were only 7 sites left(complete lie) campground was empty. First time we ever been to a place where EVERYTHING was closed. Campstore, jump pillow and the final straw was we went to go to the pool and that was closed. It was 545 pm sun still bright in the sky , nowhere near dusk( when its suppose to close) . So much conflicting info from what the paper we got handed vs what internet site said. Charged a resort fee ? for what a place to park? This is no resort. Grass was high enough to be seeding itself. My wife was so upset she was actually crying. This was supposed to be a fun trip for our da6ughter before going back to school. We decided this place over Buttonwood just because it was alittle closer. Did a full tour of the place. Realized there is nothing here. Went to dinner in town. Decided we didnt want to stay where we knew our Daughter would be bored. She's pretty easy to entertain but this was just ridiculous. 12 HOURS OF MY LIFE AND $400 BUCKS i will never get back. (Loading , driving , realizing we got screwed, driving, unloading) yup was pretty bad.
Guide to Fairview
RV campgrounds near Fairview, Pennsylvania offer diverse terrain and seasonal experiences beyond the typical amenities. Located in central Pennsylvania's mountainous region, campers encounter elevation changes ranging from 700 to 1,300 feet, creating varied camping environments. Summer temperatures typically range from 65-85°F, while spring and fall bring significant temperature fluctuations that affect camping comfort and preparation needs.
What to do
Fishing access: Raystown Lake / Saxton KOA at Four Seasons provides proximity to Raystown Lake with multiple access points. "Raystown Lake has multiple access areas that are probably 15-20 minutes away - we fished at Tautman Run and Aitch - both were accessible and had lots of bluegill to steal our worms," notes one camper who enjoyed fishing despite the bait-stealing fish.
Drive-in movies: River's Edge RV Park sits adjacent to a drive-in theater, creating a unique entertainment option. "The campground is literally right next door to a drive-in movie theater!" shares a camper who appreciated this nostalgic entertainment option just steps from their site.
Special events: Friendship Village Campground hosts weekend activities and seasonal celebrations throughout the camping season. One visitor mentioned, "They have fun holiday events, like the Halloween trick or treat, and they provide a shuttle for Bedford's annual Fall Foliage festival, which is a bonus."
What campers like
Large pool facilities: Honey Bear Campground maintains clean swimming areas with extended seasonal access. A regular visitor noted they "can paddle and hike year round and camp in the spring, summer and fall. Amazing camp sites and several have beautiful lookouts over the lake."
Site spacing: Friendship Village Campground offers spacious campsites with level surfaces. "Sites are very spacious and the gravel pad was level upon parking. Good connections and solid cable," reported a satisfied guest who appreciated the easy setup and reliable utilities.
Modern bathrooms: Raystown Lake/Saxton KOA maintains exceptionally clean restroom facilities. As one camper observed, "It looks like they have recently remodeled the bathrooms/showers (3 of the 4 look brand new), and the pool has been crystal clear."
What you should know
Seasonal changes: Many campgrounds in the region have different operating schedules and amenities based on the time of year. At Western Village RV Park, campers should check seasonal events calendar as "We tent camp here on weekends. Usually check to see what bands are playing or fun activity going on."
Highway noise: Some campgrounds experience significant road noise from nearby highways. One Friendship Village visitor noted, "The only thing we didn't like was all of the road noise. This campground is located by 2 major highways and truck traffic and Jake brake are constant all night long."
Site leveling requirements: Mountain terrain creates uneven camping sites at many locations. A camper at Raystown Lake/Saxton KOA mentioned that "The site wasn't hard to level our RV but overall the sites are hilly and in fact the whole park is on a hill."
Tips for camping with families
Entertainment options: Timber Run Campground offers family-focused weekend programming. "We stayed during Bigfoot weekend. It was super fun as our family likes bigfoot fun. We started out Friday night getting the offered $12 bbq plate that included pork burnt ends, beans and potato salad."
Multiple playgrounds: Friendship Village maintains several play areas across their property. "There is 3 play grounds all different and all well kept," reports a visitor who appreciated the variety of options for children of different ages.
Budget-friendly activities: Many campgrounds include free or low-cost entertainment. One Timber Run visitor shared, "On Saturday was rock painting and then bingo and ended the night with a DJ dance party. The pavilion where all those activities happened were right next to our site."
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategies: Greene Hills Family Campground requires careful site selection for optimal stays. When booking, request information about site grades and utility placement to avoid setup challenges.
Local road navigation: Mountain roads require careful driving techniques when towing. A Timber Run camper advised, "If traveling from the Altoona area, go out through Martinsburg over Cove Mountain Rd - it saves you 30 minutes to an hour."
Site amenities variation: Deluxe sites offer significant comfort upgrades at some campgrounds. As one RVer at Timber Run described, "Site 22 is a deluxe patio back in site with a patio, 4 nice Adirondack chairs, a double glider, a weber propane grill and built in fire pit AND a dog fence just for that site."
