What to do:

  • Hiking: Explore the beautiful trails in the area. Campers have noted that the hiking nearby is fantastic, with one reviewer mentioning, "There is a lot of hiking nearby, most of which you need to drive to within the state park" at Kentuck Campground — Ohiopyle State Park.
  • Rafting: If you’re feeling adventurous, consider rafting down the Ohio Pyle river. A visitor shared, "Stayed here one weekend and rafted down the Ohio Pyle river. Very convenient to the river and town" at the same campground.
  • Fishing and Boating: Many campgrounds, like Raccoon Creek State Park Campground, offer access to lakes for fishing and kayaking. One camper mentioned, "The lake is lovely! The only downside is that the airport is pretty close so at times you can hear planes taking off."

What campers like:

  • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained bathrooms and showers. A review from Laurel Hill State Park Campground states, "Bathrooms were cleaned daily, but could use some updating."
  • Privacy: Many sites provide a sense of seclusion. One camper at Kooser State Park Campground noted, "Their tent camping sites are a very good distance from other sites, so you feel much more secluded."
  • Family-Friendly Activities: Campgrounds like Bear Run Campground offer fun activities for kids. A parent shared, "He especially enjoyed the 'rock mining.' He keeps wanting to go back to get the motherload bag to mine!"

What you should know:

  • Noise Levels: Some campgrounds can get noisy, especially during peak seasons. A visitor at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Mill Run mentioned, "The people next to us had a gathering of 20 or so people that went on well past midnight."
  • Site Size: Be mindful of site sizes, especially for larger RVs. A camper at Keystone State Park Campground remarked, "Sites are a little tight if you have a larger camper, but we fit perfect with our 24’er."
  • Limited Amenities: Some campgrounds may lack certain amenities. A review for Tomlinson Run State Park Campground noted, "Facilities are older but well kept."

Tips for camping with families:

  • Choose Family-Friendly Campgrounds: Look for places with activities for kids. One reviewer at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Mill Run said, "Your kids will love it here: two pools, splashgrounds, fire truck rides, arcades."
  • Plan for Quiet Hours: Be prepared for noise and remind your family about quiet hours. A camper at Breakneck Campground mentioned, "If you like peace and quiet this is not the place."
  • Pack Snacks and Drinks: Having snacks on hand can keep everyone happy. A visitor at Bear Run Campground appreciated the "great little general store, in case you forget anything."

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Levels: Make sure to pick a site that suits your RV. A review from Raccoon Creek State Park Campground noted, "The spots are very sloped so bring your Lego blocks."
  • Be Prepared for Tight Spaces: Some campgrounds have close quarters. A camper at Keystone State Park Campground said, "A little too close to the other campsite for my liking."
  • Bring Extra Cords: If you’re using electric hookups, having an extension cord can be helpful. A visitor at Laurel Hill State Park Campground mentioned, "You may want to have an extension for your power cable."
