"Very quiet clean facilities quiet hours are from 9pm-8am our tent site was more like an RV site as we had a hill side but each site has a 30ft concrete pad to park on so I just put our tent on the concrete"

GuideVery 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.
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!
TravelerStayed one night. Close to Fallingwater and Fort Necessity. The campsite was terrible; close to water and buggy, steep grade required lots of blocking to level the camper and challenging to hook up to the vehicle. Thick canopy kept Starlink from working. The worst part was the bathrooms. The one closest to our spot had no hot water. So we had to walk about a half a mile to two other restrooms and showers within 100 yards of each other. Makes no sense. Anyway, both bathrooms were filthy, had paint peeling everywhere, lots of black mold growing on the ceilings, growing everywhere. No place to hang clothes while taking a shower. One of the two toilets in each of the men’s room was probably 3 feet off the ground. Made for giants I guess! And good luck finding the visitor center. It’s hidden from view and parking is terrible. You’ll have to walk 150 yards from the nearest point of the parking lot to find it. To walk there from the bus and RV parking, add an additional 1/4 mile each way. Be aware that the visitor center store does not accept credit cards. Cash or check only. Who does that? It’s 2026 Pennsylvania!
RangerThe sites and roads are well maintained. Some sites are on hilly roads but are acceptable for tenters. The bathhouse is older but the showers are hot. August 2026
TravelerWe love it here so much we almost never leave. There is a creek, playground and games for the kids year round. The lake is great for fishing, boating, swimming and more from March-August usually but even longer this year it seems. They are INCREDIBLY strict about 5mph and I LOVE THAT! My 8 year old can run around and be a kid at camp like I was without me being panicked. They even have events once a month. They are constantly adding and upgrading around the campground. Everything from walk to primitive sites to full hook ups and dry cabins.
Highly recommend for a long or short get away.
Scout,
RangerI stayed at two sites at Ohiopyle and I’ll say it again—picking the loop that best fits your equipment is key to enjoying your camping experience here. Not all loops are created equal! My second, and heavy favorite, was my site on Ivy Road. The sites were had more privacy and most importantly, were far more level and easier to access. This loop/road is also more central to the rest of the campground, the dumpsters, and had access to much nicer (still a smidge dingy), larger bathrooms. The cell service here was also decent as this road is in a less hilly area within the campground.
While the park and town are excellent for exploring, I found that the highlight of my trip was Fallingwater—it’s a Frank Lloyd Wright house (personally, I think his best) that offers tours and I was shocked to find that it was less than 10 minutes away. If you need a break from hiking and the river, I cannot recommend it enough!
RangerMy happiness with Ohiopyle SP started off rocky from the start due to two factors, which can also impact your stay:
No matter what Google Maps tells you, try to avoid taking Sugarloaf Rd into the park—it’s a very steep dirt road that is not at all direct, despite popping you out in the middle of town (which was widely surreal as I landed in the middle of some kind of festival), but most importantly there is no cell service which is frustrating when you’re unexpectedly routed down backroads as night approaches
which loop you stay in really matters, more so than many other parks I’ve stayed at. My first few nights were on Hickory road and many were small and wildly unleveled—I saw one individual give up trying to get his small RV backed in due to the site being a basin shape. So you truly need to do your research and find a site that fits your equipment. The bathroom in this leg was also small and dingy, to put it nicely, but serviceable. Personally, I would not stay in Hickory again.
That said, this is a beautiful park with phenomenal hiking and water adventures. The town (which is in the park) was also quaint and lovely, with a variety of food and shopping options.
GuideI don’t know what it is about this place but whenever I’m here all my worries are gone! I can honestly say IM RELAXED!!! I’m relaxed- whether I’m riding the golf cart eating ice cream, playing in the arcades, walking around in the campground store, playing mini golf, fishing from our campsite, watching the doggy’s play in the dog park. I’m honestly happy here!!! My favorite sites are by the lake or river. The bathhouses were clean!! We don’t swim but the pools looked great!! I’m always sad to leave but super excited to come back!! I have a video review on my YouTube channel @UpOnTheRidge304 about this campground - feel free to check it out.
Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands region surrounds Latrobe with elevations ranging from 1,000 to 2,900 feet, creating diverse camping microclimates. Glamping options near Latrobe provide protection from the region's average 46 inches of annual rainfall, with luxury tent accommodations typically available from April through October. Winter precipitation averages 31 inches of snowfall, making seasonal access considerations important for campers.
Hike nearby trails: Linn Run State Park contains several moderate hiking paths alongside Adams Falls, where rustic cabins provide shelter after outdoor activities. "My family has been camping here for generations. There are charming rustic cabins, toilets and showers nearby. They're all right next to a shady crick, near a sliding rock, and some nice hikes," notes visitor Rachael K.
Enjoy water recreation: Laurel Hill State Park Campground features a lake with rental options for kayaks at reasonable rates. "Kayak rental of $15 for an hour was the cheapest we have seen and allowed us to explore more of the lake," reports Erik E. The lake trail offers additional fishing spots for those willing to walk beyond crowded areas.
Steelers training camp access: Mirror Lake RV Camping & Fishing provides proximity to St. Vincent College where Pittsburgh Steelers hold their training camp. "Close by is Ligonier, Idlewild, and St. Vincent (where the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp takes place)," mentions Mathew H. The campground allows families to combine sports fandom with outdoor activities.
Creek-side camping spots: Mirror Lake RV Camping & Fishing features sites along a small creek popular with families. "A lot of their sites are along a small creek which the kids play in and can float down. Site 26 is our favorite. It has a huge back yard and easy access to the creek," says Mathew H. The stream provides natural water play areas without needing pool facilities.
Private woodland sites: Fox Den Acres Campground offers spacious tent sites set back from RV areas. "Hickory Hollow's campsites were nicely spaced out, perched on a hillside, but with nice flat pads. The lake and farm country provided a welcoming and relaxing setting," shares Brandy Q. Sites feature level tent pads despite hillside locations.
Clean bathhouses: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathroom facilities at several Latrobe-area campgrounds. "Bathrooms were a short walk away. They have a brand new bath house which was spotless and a well kept dog park for the furs," notes Anne B. about Hickory Hollow. This practical consideration ranks high in positive reviews across multiple locations.
Hillside vs. lakeside camping: Keystone State Park Campground contains two distinct camping areas with different experiences. "There are 2 campgrounds in the park, the hillside one and the one on the lake. The lakeside one is a glorified trailer park and is packed during the summer with no privacy. The hillside one doesn't get near the crowds and it set in the woods," explains Matt R. The park attracts substantial crowds during summer months.
Reservation timing considerations: Popular sites fill quickly, particularly on weekends. "We decided to go here for our first RV trip as it is close to home for us. Great first experience! We stayed at site 43 in the Hillside Loop because we brought our 2 large dogs. Site was very private and relatively flat," reports Kevin E.
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require equipment for leveling RVs. "On my way out I heard they were having someone come in to level the sites so I imagine it was just the time of year we visited," mentions Patience W. about Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA. Campers should pack appropriate leveling gear for most area campgrounds.
Water activities for children: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Mill Run features multiple water attractions for different age groups. "Mill run by far the best yogi bear/campground we have been to. Second time we have been & they have upgraded the water slides 4 huge slides plus big splash pad with little slide for smaller kids & the original 2 big water slides in woods," shares Erik W. The water park components operate seasonally.
Bring quarters for showers: Some campgrounds require coins for shower operation. "Bring a quarter for a 10 minute shower! There's one 1950's bathhouse with a few stalls for hundreds of RV sites but they figure you're self-contained I suppose," advises Kathryn about Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA. Families should prepare with adequate change for longer stays.
Dog-friendly camping loops: Several parks designate specific sections for pets. "There are two main loops in this campground. One that is pet friendly and more of a pitch-your-tent-in-the-yard thing and another that is pet-free and wooded," explains Casey L. about Laurel Hill State Park. Pet owners should research site-specific pet policies before booking.
Check site dimensions: The Blue Canoe RV Resort offers riverfront sites with variable sizes. "I stayed in a tent site, but had friends that brought their 5th wheel camper. I had my son and nephew with and we all had a great time at both sites," shares Dale O. Advance planning helps ensure adequate space for larger rigs.
Extension cord requirements: Power hookups at some sites require additional equipment. "The electrical hookups are not played out well like an expensive RV park with the shared power post on the entrance side of the camper. You may want to have an extension for your power cable," warns Erik E. about Laurel Hill State Park. RVers should pack extra-length power cords.
Cell reception variables: Connectivity differs significantly between campgrounds. "Fleeting cell at best on Verizon," notes Lee D. about Laurel Hill State Park. RVers relying on mobile connectivity should research signal strength before booking at more remote locations.
