Camping options around Masontown, Pennsylvania include several established campgrounds in the surrounding areas of southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. Kentuck Campground in Ohiopyle State Park provides tent, RV, cabin, and yurt accommodations approximately 15 miles southeast of Masontown. Sand Springs Campground near Morgantown, West Virginia offers year-round camping with full hookups about 20 miles west. Chestnut Ridge Regional Park and Coopers Rock State Forest also provide camping areas within a 30-minute drive, with accommodation types ranging from primitive tent sites to modern cabins and RV hookups.

Road access varies significantly between campgrounds in the region, with some sites requiring navigation on narrow, winding mountain roads. Most established campgrounds offer electric hookups, while water and sewer connections are less common at state park facilities. The camping season generally runs from April through October for many sites, though several campgrounds like Sand Springs and Chestnut Ridge remain open year-round. Cell service can be spotty in more remote locations, particularly in the heavily forested areas around Coopers Rock. As one camper noted, "Wake up early and watch the sunrise at the overlook. Overall great weekend despite the bathroom light not working after sunset."

Campers frequently mention the spacious sites and natural surroundings as highlights of the region. Chestnut Ridge Park features a pond for fishing and swimming that receives positive reviews, particularly from families. The McCollum Campground at Coopers Rock State Forest earns praise for its well-spaced sites and clean facilities. A visitor commented that "The sites are nicely spaced apart, the camp staff is helpful, and the showers are very clean." Several reviews note the quality of nearby hiking trails, particularly at Coopers Rock where numerous paths can be accessed directly from the campground. Sites with full hookups tend to book quickly during summer weekends and football season, especially at locations like Sand Springs Campground which offers modern amenities while maintaining a wooded setting.

    Kentuck Campground — Ohiopyle State Park

    Ok for a quick overnight

    Due to a water main break, only one bathroom and showers were available. Bathrooms were quite old and run down. There are over 100 sites. Pets are only allowed on specific loops and cannot be walked on “non pet” loops. We had an electric site which was pretty level for our van. Bike trails were more like hiking trails ( not single track Mtn biking trails). I found this park to be “just ok”.

    Fox Den Acres Campground

    Nice campground, close to home

    Friendly people. Clean. Only downside is only one bathhouse/restroom, hampering g the no #2 in camper. LoL

    Laurel Hill State Park Campground

    Okay campground

    Okay campground. We met nice people staying there. However, the sites are REALLY not level because the RV sites are on a major slope, especially the pull-through sites. Large open grassy area. The camp host saw me walking my pups, and as I walked toward the trash can(near the bathroom) to throw away a pooped that I had picked up, she yelled across the green area from her site“no dogs in the bathrooms!” Kinda rude, but later she was friendly. Some okay hiking trails off the campground in a meadow.

    Whispering Pines Family Campground

    Lake Wateree

    Lovely GEM in the heart of Carolina. Nestled in a quiet area full of smiling faces. And the staff were extremely accommodating.

    Whispering Pines Family Campground

    Nee Meadow Creek campground

    Beautifully set in midst of a 360* view of mountains. Site are nicely spaced and are blessed with constant gentle breeze. Lovely wild flowers surrounded during my brief visit.

    However I was deceived seeing post and electrical hookup. Pretty sure none of them function.

    Sand Springs Campground

    Remote wilderness

    Was a nice campground. Wish I would have picked a better spot. Was tricky backing in. Lots of tress. Was off season so felt like I had the place to myself. Gets some crazy fog but lot of parks and trails close by.

    Rhododendron Camping Area

    Amazing WV getaway

    This is one of my favorite campgrounds! It is quiet and the sites are spacious. There is a bathhouse located closest to site 5 with trails from other sites to get there. The facilities are always clean- no shower available. The campground is in walking distance to the overlook and most of the trails. Absolutely lovely here!
