Best RV Parks & Resorts near Latrobe, PA

Several RV parks surround Latrobe, Pennsylvania, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Fox Den Acres Campground in New Stanton provides big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, operating from May through October. Pine Cove Beach Club RV Resort in Charleroi stands out as a year-round option exclusively for RVs with level gravel sites and complete hookups. Kooser State Park Campground near Somerset features electric sites with 30/50-amp service and can accommodate larger rigs despite its more rustic setting. Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground in Farmington offers 120 sites with full hookups and operates mid-April through mid-October. "Sites are very large. Water pressure was good. The grounds were very clean and well kept," noted one RV camper about their experience at a nearby park.

Navigation to some RV parks in the Laurel Highlands region requires careful planning due to narrow mountain roads and occasional steep grades. Most campgrounds provide sanitary dump stations, though not all sites have sewer hookups at the pad. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with stronger coverage at RV parks closer to towns and limited reception in more remote locations. Pet-friendly policies are common across most RV campgrounds, though specific restrictions may apply. Seasonal availability differs substantially - while Pine Cove Beach Club remains open year-round, many parks like Fox Den Acres and Mirror Lake RV Camping operate only from spring through fall. Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends and fall foliage season when occupancy rates peak.

    New Germany State Park Campground

    Gorgeous park; truly "unplugged" experience

    Site was very large and private, surrounded by beautiful forest. Plenty of room for our pup, TV, pop-up gazebo, and gear. Each site had a fire ring with grill grate, and a nice, large, composite picnic table. We were right in front of the bath house, which was convenient, but the light was pretty bright at night. We were also the closest site to the loop entrance, so we could hear some traffic along the main park road. Didn’t bother us too much, but I imagine it would have been pretty noisy if we’d been there during peak summer season. Camping loop overall was nice and quiet, though; we had two neighbors while we were there, and barely saw nor heard anything from either of them.

    Simply put, this park is absolutely gorgeous. Easily the most beautiful MD State Park we’ve visited. Everything, from the forest, to trails, to lake, to Meadow Mountain, is a camper/outdoor enthusiast’s dream. The fall foliage made everything even more beautiful. Apparently, the park is very popular amongst cross-country skiers in the winter, especially since they have full-service cabins and a warming hut by the lake. I’m not into cold weather at all, but I imagine I would love to spend a day by the lake in the summer time. Said lake area also has a concession stand, boat rentals, swimming beach, rec hall, and nature center, but these were all closed since we were there out of season.

    Bath house in our loop was old and small, but kept very clean. I never used the shower, as it was too cold, but it looked adequate. LOTS of spiders, which don’t really bother me, but definitely a nightmare for arachnophobes.

    We drove through the two other, non-pet-friendly loops, which were also beautiful. Sites were spacious and private, just like in our loop, but with the addition of tall pines. Saw mostly tent campers, and a few small TTs. The roads were very narrow, with a decent incline, so not big-rig friendly.

    Note that there is very little to no cell phone reception in the park, so combined with the lack of hookups, this is definitely an unplugged, “connect with nature” type of camping experience.

    Overall, I absolutely loved this park, and can definitely see why it’s referred to as Maryland’s “hidden gem.” The only negative was the lack of hookups, as it got pretty cold at night, and our battery was unable to sustain the needs of our heater. It would have been fine if it had been just me and my husband, but I think it was just too cold for our small kids, especially with the wind and rain we encountered. I would love to return in the summer though, especially since the area doesn’t experience the same type of extreme humidity as the more central and eastern parts of Maryland. Highly recommended!

    Glade Farms Campground

    Quiet place to rest

    We headed to ride the trails at big bear lake camplands and booked here considering a recent outbreak of covid at the lake. The on call staff met us at the gated community and helped us get situated on a shaded lot. Very nice and quiet with mostly seasonal or permanent snowbirds. Small pond/lake on the property and plenty of shade. The lot was a challenge to be centered and level which led to us exiting our camper downhill. The water access was in ground and I cant imagine a camping couple that's well beyond retirement finding that convenient but it didn't impact us. Pet friendly and large lots. Bathhouse was closed due to covid. No firewood at this campground to purchase but fire ring provided and picnic tables.

    Kentuck Campground — Ohiopyle State Park

    Nice Pennsylvania State Park

    Very large park with a variety of campsites ranging from tent, 20/30 amp, 50 amp, and yurts. Price is the same for all electric sites, regardless of amperage. There is a 40-foot maximum vehicle length allowed in the campground– not a problem for our 17-foot van but the staffer who checked us in remarked that many people come in with larger rigs trying to squeeze in and are unable to. We had no problem securing a site with no reservation on a Monday evening after Labor Day. Very close to two Frank Lloyd Wright properties– Kentuck Knob and the more widely known Falling Waters. Other things to do in or near the park include whitewater rafting, rail trail biking, hiking, zip-lining and touring Laurel Caverns. The nearby town of Ohiopyle has many outfitters and several restaurants. The sites are all located on roads leading off the main road; we stayed in a 20/30amp site on Cherry Road (Site 49). It was right next to the bathroom which was good and bad. Good for proximity but bad because we could hear the hum quite clearly. Also, the door to the women’s room would hit you in the rear quite forcefully unless you held onto it (it took me three times to remember to do this)! There was a dishwashing sink in the women’s room (and I’m assuming in the men’s room?); it was very clean, but the only downside was having to do the dishes by myself! Alcohol is prohibited. Only certain areas allow pets. Only one garbage/recycling station outside of the campground. Wood and ice are available 24/7 on the honor system– very nice not to have to wait until a host is on duty to get what you need. Quiet hours 9 pm-8 am, a bit longer than most campgrounds but except for some sites with campfires still burning with people talking, it was very quiet in this campground. Surprisingly strong cell signal for being deep in the woods.

    Outflow Camping

    Quiet campground

    This is a lovely army corps of engineers campground. The sites are gravel and level. Most only have 30 amp electric hookup but water can be filled at the “gatehouse” (for lack of better description). There are 3-4 full hookup and a few 50 amp. It is well-maintained— lawns mowed, bathrooms cleaned, sites tidy. Bath house isn’t modern but showers are hot and have great pressure. Campground filled up on the weekend. The sites are a bit close to each other and are mostly sunny but it was quiet anyway. Lots of people fishing on the river—access right from the campground. Great Allegheny Passage trail also accessed from the campground. Boating on the lake too.

Both stocked with fish. -Lots of picnic tables at the lake. -No formal check in. -Nice playground. -Easy access to dump site. -Kinda close to a main road so you do hear some traffic but nothing too bad. We will definitely be back! We love this area!

    Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA

    KOA - Monthly Stay

    Camping in a 33 ft travel trailer with slides. Verizon service is great. Wifi in extended parking doesn’t work well. The staff are helpful and polite. We are in the extended stay part of the campground which is quiet and slightly more secluded than the other spots.

    Roaring Run Resort

    Decent Campground, no 50 amp service

    This campground is a nice, quiet campground about 30 minutes from Pittsburgh. It is a membership-based campground, we stayed there using coast to coast. The campground is decent, but not sure it really qualifies as a “resort”. It is an older park that could use some updates, namely electric service, fresh gravel for the sites, and sewer, but overall the park was clean and reasonably well kept.

    The park is gated, you have to stop at the security booth to check in, enter, or leave the park, so you might have to wait a few minutes, but that is a nice level of added security. It is pretty easy to navigate the park even with a larger rig, and there is an nice sized overflow parking area to unhook your toad when you first get there. I would recommend getting there before dark. They did have signs directing you to the different site number groups which was helpful.

    The road my GPS brought me in was a little tight, but manageable. There was a better route but it did have a very short bridge with a 10 ton weight limit, so be sure to really check your route. Another bonus is that it is only a few minutes from the PA turnpike.

    The sites are average, but there are no sewer hookups and no 50 amp service, the whole park is 30 amp. The sites are reasonable level, but the one we had was a little tricky to get into because of it being on a hill, but it was manageable. The picnic table benches were completely rotted out.

    There are two dump stations, one located on the way out, and the other located in one of the upper loops.

    The campground did have nice amenities, the pool was large and clean, it had a nice playground, a camp store, sports courts, horseshoes, volleyball, and a mini golf course. The staff were all very nice, and they patrolled the park throughout the day and night for security, which is always nice.

    The closest town is about 20 minutes away, and there are a bunch of restaurants, a Lowes, and auto parts stores should you need supplies or make a repair.

    The campground is about 40 minutes from the Flight 93 National Memorial, about 20 minutes from Fallingwater, and there were a couple of wineries in the area as well.

    All in all, our visit was good. I gave three stars because of the lack of 50 amp hookups and the size and quality of the sites.


Guide to Latrobe

Campgrounds near Latrobe, Pennsylvania offer varied experiences for outdoor enthusiasts throughout the Laurel Highlands region. Situated between 1,000-3,000 feet of elevation, the area experiences cooler temperatures than surrounding lowlands, with summer highs typically 5-10 degrees lower than Pittsburgh. Camping options range from state parks with rustic amenities to private campgrounds with extensive recreational facilities, with most locations situated within a 30-mile radius of Latrobe.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: At Pioneer Lakes RV Park, campers can fish in stocked ponds without a license. "The Dog Park is awesome. It's the size of a real, normal dog park. The ice cream on site is also a nice perk," notes a visitor who appreciated the amenities beyond fishing.

Local attractions: The Mirror Lake RV Camping & Fishing offers proximity to notable destinations. "Close by is Ligonier, Idlewild, and St. Vincent (where the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp takes place). Check it out you won't be disappointed!" shares one camper about the convenient location for exploring the region.

Water activities: Bush Recreation Area provides access to Loyalhanna Creek with boat launch facilities. "This is a nice, quiet small campground with a small lake. Our grandchildren loved it. The boat launch is a nice size to fit 2 boats at a time," reports a visitor who enjoyed the water recreation options.

What campers like

Quality facilities: At Fox Den Acres Campground, guests appreciate the well-maintained grounds. "Although the campground is close to several large cities, it is very relaxed, wooded, and quiet. Operator of the park was very pleasant as he passed by our site several times doing maintenance work, being sure to wave and chat," notes one reviewer about their experience.

Family programming: Friendship Village Campground & RV Park receives praise for its organized activities. "Went camping here for the first time this weekend. Although it was the off season there was still tons to do. The kids played mini golf, jumped on the pillow, played on multiple playgrounds, enjoyed ice cream and went fishing," shares a satisfied family.

Privacy options: Some campgrounds offer more secluded sites for those seeking quiet. "We stayed in one of the cabins while friends were in their campers. The cabin was great, very clean and cozy. The campgrounds are very nice they have a pool as well as a community building and camp store," reports a visitor at Mirror Lake RV Camping.

What you should know

Seasonal availability: Most campgrounds operate from spring through fall with limited winter options. "We stayed 6-12-23 (When It Was A KOA). It is your typical campground. It was noisy and loud throughout our whole stay," notes a camper at The Blue Canoe RV Resort, highlighting the importance of timing your visit.

Site conditions: Terrain varies significantly across campgrounds in the Laurel Highlands. "The spot was so unlevel there were 19 inches between my bottom step and the ground. This site was the same price as level ones closer to activities," warns a visitor about Pioneer Lakes RV Park.

Noise considerations: Donegal Campground and several others sit near highways. "The campground is situated right off of the main road so the road noise can be an issue if it bothers you. We personally, didn't sleep well because of the road noise," reports one tent camper.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: When booking, request sites near play areas. "We rented space 16 late August 2020 and our friends (and their kids) rented #17 on the inner circle, right next to us with the playground right behind us. Great spots! Our kids were within easy eye and earshot of the playground," shares a happy parent at Bush Recreation Area.

Water features: Children particularly enjoy campgrounds with swimming options. "The kids had a blast playing on the playground, floating down the creek, swimming in the pool, riding bicycles etc. All in all we will definitely be returning," notes a family who stayed at Mirror Lake RV Camping.

Activity planning: Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground receives high marks for youth programming. "Got a nice secluded spot to camp in the wooded area that had amazing mountain views and the star gazing platform. Kids had a great time and lots of activities for them to do!" reports a satisfied parent.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: RV sites near Latrobe, Pennsylvania vary in quality and levelness. "Sites are very spacious and the gravel pad was level upon parking. Good connections and solid cable," reports a camper at Friendship Village Campground about their experience finding a suitable spot.

Hookup availability: Pine Cove Beach Club RV Resort stands out for its comprehensive services. "Wonderful hosts, well maintained, large sites, close to the highway but no road noise. Giant pool opened in the summer. Highly recommended," shares an RVer about the year-round facility.

Access considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging terrain. "Most sites are not level, but very grassy. Firewood is available at the entrance for $5 bundle supporting a local club," notes a camper at Kooser State Park Campground, adding useful details about navigating the mountainous setting.
