Several glamping accommodations around Meyersdale give visitors access to scenic Pennsylvania landscapes with resort-style comforts. Hickory Hollow Campground and Pioneer Lakes RV Park both feature glamping tents with elevated amenities, while state parks in the region house yurts and specialty accommodations. One guest shared, "We stayed in the covered wagon, which was pretty cool. The covered wagon sites are isolated in their own clearing within the trees next to the lake." Ohiopyle State Park and Rocky Gap State Park maintain yurt rentals with electricity, comfortable bedding, and climate control features. Many glamping options include picnic tables, fire rings, and proximity to hiking trails while maintaining a more luxurious experience than traditional camping with amenities like Wi-Fi access, furnished interiors, and private outdoor spaces.
The region's glamping sites capitalize on the natural surroundings with panoramic views and outdoor recreation opportunities. Nearby Laurel Hill State Park provides access to a swimming beach, boat rentals, and hiking trails through old-growth forests. According to a camper, "It's a beautiful park with hundreds of campsites and amazing lake and huge swimming beach area, bike rentals, boat rentals, hiking trails." Canvas accommodations at Hickory Hollow offer proximity to a stocked fishing pond and walking trails around the lake. Pioneer Lakes features ice cream on site and a large dog park for pet owners. Most glamping locations operate seasonally from April through October, with some sites requiring advance reservations due to limited availability of specialty accommodations. The Laurel Highlands region surrounding Meyersdale provides additional attractions including whitewater rafting, mountain biking, and historical sites within driving distance.

ScoutThis was a great place to camp. Lovely. The price was affordable. We stayed in the cabin. Electricity. Air conditioning. Running water. The property owner manager is very accommodating and pleasant to talk with.
Highly recommended.

ScoutI grew up camping with my family at Rocky Gap every summer. The best feature of Rocky Gap is the versatility of the campgrounds. There are options for RV camping with electric, tent spots, small cabins, and the resort if you would rather have a more comfortable resort experience. Pets are allowed in a select few loops.
They have a range of activities available including a large lake to swim, fish or paddle. There are a few trails for hiking, at least 2 small “beach” areas off the lake with play grounds and a camp store. You can also go over to the casino resort for entertainment and food.
Alcohol is not permitted outside of the resort which is partly why I say this camping experience is better for families. Rangers routinely monitor the site loops and there is a quiet hours period, I believe starting at 10pm and you will have a ranger pull up on you if you do not adhere.
CAMPSITES BREAKDOWN:
Type: Gravel Vehicle Accessible: Yes Size: ~ 1 large tent or 2 compact tents. Most are the same size, fairly small spots. Bathroom: Communal bathhouses in the middle of each loop with toilets, sinks and showers. Fire pit: Yes, with grill grate. Firewood: Must buy firewood at camp store. Water access: Some, depending which part of the loop your site is located on. Electric: No unless RV camping. Alcohol Policy: Not permitted unless drinking in the Resort or a motor home. Other Features: Picnic table, small wood post counter / hook to hang a lantern on and place a camp stove on.
GuideStayed 3 nights because I wanted to be centrally located to the he Flight 93 Memorial and Falling Water (about 30 miles to each). The non pet section is heavily wooded and very shady. The pet section is more of a loop set up with some trees. The no pet section had no, zero, zilch cell service so my stay was super quiet. Site 173 was easy to back into and had a large picnic area with a fire ring next to the brook. There is a lake with a small beach and a boat launch and numerous hiking trails. The park will s very nice pretty and during the week fairly empty. I would recommend
GuideTub Run Road is a rough (but pretty) ride to the campground. Once you hit the property, everything is well-maintained. Roads are easy to navigate and equipment all works well. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Bathhouses are kept clean. Ice and firewood are available on site. Lots of seasonal campers fill their space to the brim with tent garages, so the Creekside loop, at least, feels a little like a suburban street, but still quiet. Creekside sites felt smaller and more crowded than lakeside sites, which open onto the beach and lake. Guests were very friendly and considerate of quiet hours. A number of families were joining across generations and campsites, which was nice. Easy access to local attractions.
GuideWe chose this campground for its proximity to home with the chance to swim in the lake.
The camping did not disappoint. We always try to book “outside” loop sites so we don’t have “back neighbors” but none near the lake were available, so we took our chances on an “inside” site in E loop. It was great, smallish, but plenty of vegetation to make it feel private. (Some poison ivy around the edges, though.) The pull-in sites in general seem a bit small (space for our two 4-person tents and that’s it), but are well shaded and separated from neighbors by small patches of woods or bushes. The pull-through sites in our loop were more exposed to the road, but had a bit more space.
There was some noise from the interstate. There were surprisingly few mosquitoes. The bathhouse was clean, but showers were not very warm.
The swimming was unfortunately disappointing. The roped-off swimming area was 3 feet deep at the most. Warm water in August, nice for kids to splash around, but not really good for actual swimming. Bonus for dog people: pets allowed on the beach and in the lake.
During COVID-19, the bathrooms/bathhouses at the beach area are closed; porta-johns only.
We rented paddle boards and a canoe one afternoon and paddled around to one of the lake inlets, which was actually deep and had a good swim. But this is technically not allowed.
If you feel okay about rule-breaking and have water-safe family members (and no pets), I would absolutely choose a site in I loop close to the lake. The sites in E loop closest to the lake are actually up a fairly steep hill from the lake path.
Hiking trails were nice. My kids especially liked the rock scramble-ish up and down the stream gorge on Evitt’s Mountain trail.
TravelerWe had a great stay. Well manicured grounds. Lots of fallen trees from recent weather. Bathrooms could be cleaner. The camp hosts are awesome people. The area is quiet and peaceful. Lots of bike trails. Lake nice with swimming. Not crowded. Very family oriented. Playgrounds scattered around the campground in really good shape.
We stayed at site 173. I loved it. Private. Had a little stream that ran behind it which would have been great for kids to play in. I loved the sound of running water. The fire pit and picnic table were in a little area above the stream surrounded by trees. It was so pretty and felt protected. They sell wood and awesome fire starters on site. Well priced. $5 for big bundle of split wood and $1 for each large fire starter. The Fire starters were so good, I bought extras to take with me. Definitely good quality. Not like the small ones you buy at the store.
All in all, I loved it and will go back. I’ll take the grandkids next time. The lake, stream, biking, playground will keep them busy.
I have TMobile and had no cellphone service at my site. But could get service in other areas.
Site 225 looked like a great site. Up on a hill with a view, full hook up, playground close, and cell service.
GuideStayed here with 10 other people. We had room for ten tents, fire pit, tons of camp chairs. Right next to hiking trail. Flush toilets, running water, easy to find. Parking spot. Well maintained.
GuideThe campground is easily accessible- there are 9 loops and a group site. The best loops for families with pets are Dogwood and Elm. No pets? Go to Ironwood loop and get a site close to the water. Water is readily available. The bathrooms are clean and the showers warm. After October, most of the loops close, the exception being Ash loop, which offers electric hookup for RV. The camp store is stocked well, but dinner may have to come from a local market if you’re planning a cookout at your site. The beach is also pet friendly. There is boat rental and several opportunities for Ranger led activities for all. Recently, the park has been taking part in American Chestnut revitalization. If there is any detractors at all, it’s the casino on the other side of the park. It’s bright and loud ( though and outdoor events are quiet by 10 ish) There is a strict no alcohol policy unless your in an RV or a cabin. Meaning the alcohol must stay inside at all times. Firewood is readily available. The sites can be a bit close, but as a family camper with a load of six people plus two dogs, we never have felt claustrophobic in our site choice. The web site offers limited photos of the sites. This park is our go to place for a weekend with kids and as it’s cheap and nearby, it’s well worth it. As a side note, the food at the casino isn’t bad. Just not a good place for kids. The trails are well maintained. Keep a careful watch for snakes and bears.
ScoutVery nice campground. Beautiful lake and from our lakeside sites we could put our kayaks in right from the campsite, maybe 20 yards away into a sheltered cove. The weather was horrid while we were there but woke up Sunday morning to pack up and the sun was out, the true beauty of this campground was awesome. Paved roads and compacted gravel tent pads. Sites are both spacious and a good distance apart. Bath house was reasonably clean and had two showers each with a lockable door and small changing room attached. Each loop has one bathhouse and it is situated in the center of the loop. You are supposed to walk or bike to it as the only road into it has a do not enter sign and is for employee vehicles only. Maryland has a “can't bring your own firewood” policy that they say is because they don’t want pests brought in from outside but seems to be more of a money grab to me. Firewood is $5 per bundle at the camp store and we easily went through three or four bundles per night. There is a Walmart about 10 miles away in Lavale MD for anything you might need. There is also a no pets policy, at least in the loop we were in, which we loved because nothing spoils a good camping trip like a dog that barks the entire time you are camping. Policy says alcohol is prohibited but we are well behaved and drank beers at the campsite without hassle. Despite the rain, we had a great time and were very happy with our first trip to Rocky Gap. We will definitely be back before the season is over, hopefully with better weather.
Meyersdale sits in Pennsylvania's Allegheny Mountains at approximately 2,063 feet elevation, making it a gateway to outdoor recreation in the Laurel Highlands region. The area experiences four distinct seasons, with warm summers ideal for glamping adventures and colorful falls that attract visitors to the surrounding state parks. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing, so most luxury camping options operate seasonally from spring through fall.
Hike around Lake Habeeb: At Rocky Gap State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy a moderate 5-mile trail circling the lake. "The 5 mile hike around Lake Habeeb is enjoyable. Great way to see all sides of the park. Across the lake from the campground is a casino and resort," notes Jeff H.
Explore natural water features: The region contains numerous waterfalls and swimming areas. "Cucumber Falls is on the right. Again, get there early for one of the few parking spaces to walk down to the falls," advises Dave V. from Kentuck Campground — Ohiopyle State Park.
Visit historical sites: The area contains significant landmarks including the Flight 93 Memorial. "I spent a night here on my way to Pittsburgh one weekend, and I couldn't be more impressed. If you stay here, make sure to travel down the road to see the Flight 93 Memorial," recommends Rachel L. from Shawnee State Park.
Private luxury accommodations: Some glamping options in Meyersdale offer secluded sites. "The covered wagon sites (there are 2) are isolated in their own clearing within the trees next to the lake. The other wagon wasn't booked so we had a huge double site to ourselves," describes Jessica D. from Hickory Hollow Campground.
Water recreation opportunities: Lakes and rivers provide various activities. "The lake is absolutely beautiful and perfect for all types of water sports. It's great for all ages as well, with things to do to keep everybody entertained," says Sam D. about Deep Creek Lake State Park Campground.
Natural beauty after peak season: Visiting when crowds thin offers a different experience. "We were surprised that just a few days before Memorial Day, only a handful of sites were occupied. We've been very impressed by the pristine conditions of many Pennsylvania state parks," observes Lee D. about Laurel Hill State Park.
Site selection matters: Not all glamping sites are created equal. "The campsite and bathrooms were clean when we arrived and when we left. The site numbering is a bit wonky on the dog loop so make sure you look at your map before you start driving the loops," advises Erik E. from Laurel Hill State Park Campground.
Road access can be challenging: Some locations have difficult approaches. "Tub Run Road is a rough (but pretty) ride to the campground. Once you hit the property, everything is well-maintained," notes Laurel K. from Yough Lake Campground.
Wildlife encounters: Bear sightings are common in some areas. "We were told there were regular bear sightings and there were bear boxes at each site; we saw many deer but not a single bear, keeping our zero bear sightings record intact," reports Lee D. about Deep Creek Lake.
Water-focused activities: Several parks offer family-friendly water features. "We went canoeing on the lake. And had fun just hiking around a bit. Note: sites can be a bit small or awkward for campers," shares Kate D. about Laurel Hill State Park.
Themed weekend experiences: Specialty glamping in Meyersdale offers unique entertainment. "We try to come every year for trick or treat! We've loved this one the most ever since we found it! Can't wait to be there in the fall!" exclaims Payton R. about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Mill Run.
Kid-friendly hiking trails: The region features accessible nature walks. "The trail between Swallow Falls and Herrington Manor is nice, but the much shorter main trail within SFSP itself is awesome. Muddy Creek Falls - the main attraction of the state park and the highest waterfall in Maryland - is the main reason to do the hike," explains Danielle V.
Electric hookup locations: Power connections might require planning. "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," advises Erik E. about Laurel Hill State Park.
Site levelness varies: Check reviews for specific site information. "We were on the outside edge of the pet loop so there was some nice shade there. Note: sites can be a bit small or awkward for campers. Our neighbor had a bit of a rough time accessing our shared electric box," explains Kate D. about Laurel Hill.
Seasonal facility limitations: Different amenities are available throughout the year. "The lake is open Memorial Day through Labor Day so I imagine this campground would yield a very different experience in the height of summer!" notes Lee D. regarding Deep Creek Lake.
