Enormous property, but...
We spent a long weekend for walks in the woods, seeing the fall colors, and all around a huge lake.
What We Liked:
- Even though the sites are sloped, they’re huge. I like that a lot.
- This property is enormous. They have a marina on the lake, a wedding facility, conference center, lots of cabins which look pretty good, and tent sites in addition to the RV sites. Go say hi to the goats behind the store. The property is amazing!
- If you’re interested, it’s a 90-minute drive to the Flight 93 Memorial— well worth the trip!
Things to Keep in Mind:
- The roads getting there are like a roller coaster. This isn’t the resort’s fault, but something you need to know if you’re going there.
- The sites are sloped. Took several blocks to get even close to level. I may be spoiled, but I really appreciate a level site.
- No sewer connection. There’s a dump station available, but just know the sites are water and electric only.
Would We Return?
- Probably not. It’s not fun driving in that area and there’s nothing much to do in the area.

I would not recommend to anyone
This campground is nothing as stated in the reviews. And now I know why. The one review on here besides mine is from the owner. The bathrooms are not clean. I was told for Labor Day weekend I could stay for two nights had reserved and all. They then abruptly cancelled my reservation and took three days to respond and say I could have a different cabin and tent sight but would need to stay three nights because of the holiday. They also charged a cleaning for a service pet which is not legal. We then showed up and were the only people staying that weren’t seasonal site people and very not welcomed. The first comment made was here come the weekend warriors. We look at the cabin which was ironically filthy and covered in mouse poop yet we got charged a cleaning fee. The grass was not mowed the porter potty’s so gross bugs are crawling in the bottom. The camp store was closed during the car show they had and when we asked when it will be open they stated it will not. It was 1 pm on a Saturday. The reservation process was unorganized. The playground was not mowed or weed whacked and a slide is ratchet strapped together. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

GuideWestern Village RV Park
Pretty campground, friendly staff, but RVs are packed in like sardines
We used to camp here 30+ years ago. Nice that it hasn't changed much. Still has a game room with pool table, driving games, skeet ball, etc. No more pinball games like in the past. Apparently in the 1930 there was a working train around the campground, a restaurant and horse shoes - none of which are at present.
Sites are quite small. I thought our neighbor's awning was going to hit our RV, and that ours might hit the next neighbor's RV. In some parts the campers are also back to back, luckily ours is not.
They have wi-fi but you must pay for it, no free service. No cable TV (which is the norm these days). Good cell reception so you will need that or a Starlink to stream shows.
Staff are friendly. Sites are pretty level. The campground itself is rather pretty with trees, grassy areas, playgrounds for kids, etc. Lots of lightning bugs at night, and birds during the day.
At night it's interesting to walk around as so many seasonal and permanent campers have lights around their campers, trees, etc. Almost like walking around one of those light up parks they do around Christmas.

Loved it
Its was great, we stayed in new area, sites had ample room, not many trees at our spot so summer there wouldnt be much shade but we were next to a retention pond/drainage. We brought our dig whole loved running through there.
Not much to say besides it was clean, not crowded (in November) and decent spacing between sites

Easy
It was overall good, Nice amenities, pool was clean (3ft-5ft) Splash pad, air pillow, playground, pond, etc
It has nice wooded areas but very compact, if you have a large camper id be concerned with trying to make some turns on the upper area

Disgusting
Where do I start?
We came to this campground to connect with family who was hiking the AT. We left after one miserable night. Here are some reasons:
A giant confederate flag near the entrance
Highway noise and not one but two train tracks
One Filthy “bathroom”
No shade at our campsite- despite other available sites with some shade
A trail of poison ivy on the narrow path to the river
Cigarette butts everywhere
And a creepy man on a bike who declared he was a local and wouldn’t leave our site while I was alone and insisted on talking to me about the strip club down the street, where to buy condoms and how my tent’s mesh shelf is perfect for drying out my wet panties.

Trashy
We called ahead of time to reserve two sites for two nights for a bunch of people from out of state and some hikers from the AT. They said it was $35 per site per night. When we arrived we were told that we had to pay for three nights because it was a holiday weekend AND that the price was per tent. The porta potties were gross and hadn’t been serviced in a while. It was difficult to use them. During a heat wave we were given a site with little shade when several sites further along with plenty of trees were empty. The plumbed bathroom was dirty and had no soap. The shop did not in fact sell love bait, which cramped our fishing style. There is a loud rail road with constant trains on one side and a very busy highway with loud trucks on the other. The river front was lovely, but with detritus from previous campers on the rocks. We left after one night.
Guide to Milroy
The Milroy region sits at an elevation of approximately 650 feet in central Pennsylvania's Mifflin County, situated within the Ridge and Valley physiographic province. Camping options near Milroy feature sites along the Juniata River as well as mountain terrain with significant elevation changes. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing from November through March, with summer highs typically reaching the mid-80s.
What to do
River activities: River's Edge RV Park & Campground offers direct access to the Juniata River. "The campground offers direct access to the river for afternoon floats on tubes or kayaks and they're building a large dock for fishing," notes Jenn D. Visitors can bring their own equipment or inquire about rental options.
Cave exploration: 30-minute drive. The Milroy area provides access to multiple cave systems. Woodward Cave Campground features its own cave. As reviewer Jen R. explains: "Best part was it had its own cave! This place is also about 20 to 30 minutes from Penn's Cave which is the only cave in Pa that you tour by boat. It was amazing!"
Outdoor recreation: seasonal activities. Several camping facilities near Milroy maintain family-friendly outdoor recreation areas. Splash Magic RV Resort offers numerous activities during summer months. "The pool was great, the kids loved the water slides," mentions Traci F., adding "They always have a lot going on and no one should get bored there."
What campers like
Riverside sites: premium locations. Waterfront camping spots rank highly among visitors to rv parks near Milroy. "Absolutely beautiful if you are riverside. Staff was friendly and helpful. Stay on the waterside! Sites 48-53," recommends Matthew S. about Waterside Campground and RV Park.
Fishing opportunities: morning and evening peak times. Many campers appreciate the fishing access available at several campgrounds. "The campground is building a large dock for fishing. Beautiful sunsets on the river!" notes Jenn D. about River's Edge RV Park.
Entertainment options: varied by season. Some RV facilities provide entertainment beyond typical camping activities. "The campground is literally right next door to a drive-in movie theater!" reports a River's Edge visitor. At Splash Magic RV Resort, "Activities were cute and entertainment was fun. Playground was huge and well maintained," according to Debbie W.
What you should know
Site spacing varies significantly: Some campgrounds offer more privacy than others. At Splash Magic RV Resort, a camper reports: "Sites were SUPER tight. We were packed in like sardines." Another visitor noted, "No privacy, behind some sort of industrial factory."
Seasonal services: Many facilities adjust services based on time of year. Seven Mountains Campground maintains available staff and reasonable prices year-round. A visitor notes: "Nice, clean, friendly/accommodating staff and the prices were reasonable for the accommodations."
Additional fees: Some campgrounds charge for activities beyond basic camping. At Splash Magic, "Charging extra for certain activities (bumper boats, mini golf, & jump pillow) was strange to me," reports one camper, while noting "Golf cart rental was very reasonable ($139 for the entire holiday weekend)."
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: pool access. Several Milroy-area RV parks feature pools and water activities. "The pool was great, the kids loved the water slides," reports Traci F. about Splash Magic. "There is a great water park as well as adults only pool for those wanting a break from the little ones," adds Tom H.
Playground facilities: structured play areas. Multiple campgrounds maintain playground equipment. According to Traci F., "The playground was really nice," at Splash Magic RV Resort, making it suitable for families with young children.
Entertainment planning: additional costs. For family camping trips, budget for extra activities. "We should have looked into a pass to do more because the extras can get expensive. But everything is right there and you never have to leave so it's worth it in my opinion," explains a Splash Magic visitor.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: bring blocks. Some RV sites in the Milroy region require equipment for proper leveling. At The Bellefonte Campground, "Sites are sloped a bit as most are in the mountains. We were able to decently level our motorhome with blocks," reports Clean Slate D.
Electrical service considerations: Evaluate your power needs before booking. Some RV parks experience electrical fluctuations during peak usage. "Electric ran below 110 volts the entire weekend," noted a Splash Magic visitor during a particularly hot weekend.
Water quality varies: Depending on the campground and seasonal conditions, water quality can differ. One Splash Magic visitor reported, "the water had a brownish tint to it," while other RV parks near Milroy maintain consistent water quality standards throughout the year.
