1 campground with availability next weekend
Bear Run Campground accommodates pets throughout its extensive grounds spanning from RV sites near the entrance to cottages further up the hill. The campground maintains a fenced dog run area where dogs can exercise off-leash while owners supervise. All pet-friendly sites include fire rings and access to the campground's amenities like the swimming pool, playground, and small café. Camping options range from tent sites to RV hookups to cabins, with the primitive camping area offering more privacy for those camping with dogs. The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, though tent campers note the primitive area only offers porta-potties rather than full restroom facilities. Visitors praise the family-friendly atmosphere that extends to four-legged family members.
Moraine State Park, located just minutes from Bear Run, prohibits standard camping but does offer limited options for overnight stays with pets. The park maintains two rustic shelters along the North Country Trail that must be reserved through the park office for backpackers with dogs. For groups, the Five Points Group Camping Area provides access to the bike trail and lake where dogs can enjoy water activities. The surrounding private campgrounds like Buttercup Woodlands, Breakneck Campground, and Indian Brave Campground all permit pets with varying amenities. Local campers recommend bringing extra water for dogs during summer months as some primitive areas lack nearby water sources. When planning longer stays, Smith Grove receives positive reviews for its quiet atmosphere and clean facilities for campers with pets.

ScoutThis 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.

RangerUnique place! Boondocking only. Really suited for smaller setups. My 30ft TT fit fine but was limited. Host was great. Partially shaded spot in the woods. Great trails. Ticks galore. Sadly had a very wet trip but was otherwise nice.
TravelerStayed 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!
ScoutThe 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.
GuideThis 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.
ScoutSpent 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.
TravelerStayed here right after Labor Day - very few other campers. Campsites were large and gave privacy - easy to park. Plenty of activities - hiking, frisbee golf, swimming, horseshoes, basketball, maze and a playground. Clean sites - they do a great job of keeping up on the property. AT&T cell phone service was weak - one bar most of the time. Close to bike trails along Oil Creek. A lot of great history to explore in both Titusville and Oil City. Shopping for food just 10 minutes down the road. Great customer service on arrival - gave us options for sites and let us explore before choosing even after we arrived about 15 minutes until the office was supposed to close.
ScoutAdvertised 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 !!!
The Butler area, located in western Pennsylvania's Appalachian plateau region, offers diverse terrain for camping with elevations ranging from 980 to 1,300 feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-85°F with moderate humidity, while fall brings vibrant foliage and temperatures between 40-70°F. Most campgrounds near Homeacre-Lyndora maintain shower facilities with coin-operated options averaging 25-50 cents for 5-7 minutes of hot water.
Hiking access to McConnells Mill State Park: Breakneck Campground sits directly adjacent to the state park trails. "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," notes Britt B. of Breakneck Campground.
Fish at multiple locations: The region offers several fishing spots with different settings. "There is a fenced dog run area and a beautiful lake. All sites have fire rings," reports Britt B. about Bear Run Campground. For those seeking a quieter experience, other campgrounds provide different fishing environments.
Winter camping options: Unlike many seasonal campgrounds in the region, some facilities remain open year-round. "Open year round" with "amazing views at this mountain top campsite" is highlighted by James B. at Mountain Top Campground, which maintains winter accessibility for campers with appropriate gear.
Spacious sites with privacy: Campers appreciate the less congested areas. "I always camp near the horses as i like a bit more privacy. The front of the campground is a bit too packed for my liking. They also have a primative area that is quite nice," shares Joan K. about Moraine State Park.
Creek-side primitive camping: Lower sites near water are popular for their seclusion. "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," describes Britt B.
Clean facilities for extended stays: "We loved camping at Bear Run so much we bought an old trailer and we now park it there year around. Every weekend there are activities, there is a heated pool and Friday night Bingo. The restrooms are clean and the general store carries most things you would need," explains Amy S.
Limited camping at Moraine State Park: Despite its popularity, overnight options are restricted. "Moraine State Park doesn't allow camping within the park and there is no campground affiliated with park. The one exception is along the North Country Trail, there are 2 rustic shelters that must be reserved through the park office," clarifies Greg K. of Group Camping and Cabins — Moraine State Park.
Site terrain varies significantly: Some campgrounds feature challenging topography. "Nice campground but too hilly for kids to ride bikes. Very close to Lake Arthur for fishing and kayaking," notes Pam O. about Bear Run Campground, highlighting an important consideration for families with young children.
Portable toilet limitations: Facilities differ between camping areas. "We were tent car-camping. We felt as if Bear Run really catered to RVers. The tent sites were small and crammed together. There was no bathroom (only a porta-potty)," shares Matthew D., pointing out important facility differences between camping sections.
Dog exercise areas: For pet-friendly campgrounds near Homeacre-Lyndora, look for dedicated spaces. "There is a fenced dog run area where dogs can exercise off-leash while owners supervise," mentions a visitor to one of the dog-friendly camping options, making it easier for families traveling with pets.
Activities for different ages: "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. There is a swimming pool and playground for the kids," explains Britt B.
Seasonal events for families: "We always have an amazing time at Rose Point Park Cabins & Camping! Very family friendly place and pets are welcome too! My son loves the horse rides on Sundays," shares Jeani B., highlighting specific weekend activities for children.
Grey water disposal options: Mountain Top Campground offers a unique solution. "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 from Mountain Top Campground.
Site selection for larger RVs: "Bear Run offers pull through sites for larger RV's. The pool is smaller but still enjoyable. Tons of activities always planned on the weekend," notes Terra B., providing practical information for those with bigger rigs.
Cellular coverage considerations: Reception varies across campgrounds. "Full verizon coverage lte" but only "moderate wi-fi (to be expected)" reports James B., offering useful information for RVers who need to stay connected while camping.
