Cabins near Homeacre-Lyndora, Pennsylvania offer camping options within a hilly region containing numerous streams and wooded areas at elevations between 900-1,300 feet. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures typically ranging from 75-85°F during peak camping months. Winter cabin rentals remain available at select locations despite seasonal closures at many campgrounds from late October through mid-April.
What to do
Water activities at Lake Arthur: Moraine State Park provides access to a 3,225-acre lake where visitors can swim, fish, and boat during the summer months. The park offers hiking trails and lake access within minutes of nearby cabin accommodations. "Moraine State Park is close by for canoeing and fishing," notes a camper from Bear Run Campground.
Hiking opportunities: Multiple trail systems run throughout the area including the North Country National Scenic Trail. "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," reports a visitor at Breakneck Campground.
Local attractions: The small historic towns of Harmony and Zelienople offer shopping and dining options within walking distance of some campgrounds. "Walking distance to harmony and all the live music and nightlife that Harmony and Zelienople have to offer," states a reviewer from Indian Brave Campground.
What campers like
Scenic views: Several campgrounds feature elevated sites with valley vistas. "We luckily got a spot on looking over a very dense tree-d valley with a beautiful sunset. Sites 41-48 are the best view at sunset," shares a camper from Mountain Top Campground.
Stream access: Some cabin and tent sites sit directly beside water features. "We were lucky enough to be able to camp down by the stream. There are designated fireplaces. It is quite a walk up the hill to the campground amenities, but worth it to feel secluded down by the creek," explains a reviewer about Breakneck Campground.
Weekend activities: Many campgrounds organize regular events for guests. "Tons of activities always planned on the weekend. Family Friendly Friendly!" notes a Bear Run visitor. Another adds, "Activities include wagon rides to the lake, talent show, karaoke…etc, as well as church!"
What you should know
Site selection matters: Campgrounds often have distinct areas with different experiences. "The front of the campground is a bit too packed for my liking. They also have a primitive area that is quite nice," explains one camper at Bear Run. Another visitor at Rose Point Park Cabins & Camping notes, "This place is great if you want activities for the kids but if you want some privacy in the great outdoors this definitely isn't the place."
Shower facilities vary: Some campgrounds charge for showers while others include them. "Bathhouse was clean. Only disappointment was that the showers were coin operated, so you not only needed cash on hand but then had to turn those into special coins for the shower," reports a Mountain Top Campground visitor.
Seasonal operation: Most cabin rentals are available from mid-April through October. "This is a great place with reasonable prices, an array of camping options to suit different camping needs as well as budget range," explains a Bear Run Campground visitor who stayed during Labor Day weekend.
Tips for camping with families
Entertainment options: Choose campgrounds with dedicated children's activities and facilities. "This campground is deceptively big! The campground hosts themed events, game nights and arts & crafts. There is a swimming pool and playground for the kids," shares a Bear Run visitor.
Kid-friendly terrain: Consider the topography when planning activities. A visitor to Peaceful Valley Campground says, "Lots for the kids to do. Good sized fishing lake, swimming pool, inflatable slide, playgrounds, jumping pillow." However, another camper notes about a different location: "Nice campground but too hilly for kids to ride bikes."
Halloween weekends: Several campgrounds offer special fall events. "Halloween weekends are a great time to visit!" advises a Jellystone Park at Kozy Rest visitor. Another camper shares details about Rose Point Park: "Pumpkin Carving Contest, Voting On Pumpkins (Carved), Campstore Sales, T-Shirts And Apparel (Halloween Versions), Dance Party."
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Many campgrounds offer varied site sizes. "Bear Run offers pull through sites for larger RV's," explains one reviewer. Another visitor shares about their experience at Indian Brave Campground: "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. They escorted us to our campsite (which was larger than most) and made sure we had plenty of help getting backed in and set up!"
Water and waste management: Check hookup availability before arrival. "Full hookup site. Spacing between spots was not cramped at all," reports a Mountain Top visitor. Another notes, "45 per night for me ymmv, level gravel lots with wood boarders, lots of grass on each site as well, 30 + 50amp services, grey water dump on most sites."
Navigational challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult access routes. "The hardest part is finding it. The roads get narrow so if in an RV call them for the easiest way in," advises a Mountain Top Campground visitor who stayed for a month.
