A little too close together for my comfort. But very nice and relaxing area. And definitely more spread a part than commercial campgrounds.

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
The camping landscape around Morrisville, Pennsylvania encompasses several established campgrounds with varied accommodation options. Kentuck Campground at Ohiopyle State Park offers tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and yurts approximately 40 miles from the city. Other notable options include Ryerson Station State Park Campground and Coopers Rock State Forest, which provide year-round camping opportunities with tent, RV, and cabin facilities. Most campgrounds in the region feature electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, with many also offering water hookups and sanitary dump stations for RVs.
Road conditions and accessibility vary significantly across the region's campgrounds. Many sites require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when facilities reach capacity quickly. The camping season generally runs from April through October, though some locations like Ryerson Station State Park remain open year-round. Visitors should note that several campgrounds prohibit alcohol consumption, including Coopers Rock State Forest and Ohiopyle State Park. Cell service can be limited in more remote areas, particularly at higher elevations. A camper noted, "This is truly a spectacular campground. Spacious separation between lots, very well kept, the bathrooms are immaculate. The downside is no cell service for Verizon... this spot is quite isolated and if there was ever an emergency, help would be difficult to obtain."
Campers consistently rate waterfront access and proximity to recreational activities as key highlights of the region. Youghiogheny River Lake provides opportunities for swimming, fishing, and boating near several campgrounds. Hikers appreciate the extensive trail networks, particularly at Ohiopyle State Park and Coopers Rock State Forest. Many campgrounds feature wooded sites that offer privacy and shade during summer months. One visitor mentioned, "The campground and surrounding area is hilly and wooded. Very beautiful and friendly. Nearby rafting is amazing! The sites are roomy." While some campgrounds offer spacious sites with good separation, others have more densely arranged facilities. Several reviews note that bathhouse facilities vary widely in quality and maintenance across different campgrounds in the region.

Yough Lake Campground at Tub Run
Awful place
I wish I could give this campground zero stars. Like the reviews below us stated, we were also verbally attacked by the little man on the golf cart. This campground should be embarrassed by the way it treats families. We were supposed to stay Thursday through Sunday with our best friends and our six children. Instead, we packed up and left Saturday after returning from our planned trip to Ohiopyle with our kids. What was supposed to be a fun, relaxing family camping weekend turned into an experience that left us shocked, disappointed, and completely disrespected. We are experienced campers and have spent years creating memories with our children at campgrounds. We are respectful guests, we follow rules, and we have never had an experience like this. Unfortunately, this campground chose poor communication, intimidation, and selective enforcement over basic customer service. During our stay, we had a truck briefly drive down to the swimming area to unload and later reload chairs, coolers, and supplies for our six children. There are no signs stating that vehicles are prohibited on the grass. In fact, there were multiple golf carts in the same area throughout the day, including staff members and seasonal campers, which led us to believe this was permitted. We understand vehicles are heavier than golf carts, but there were zero signage stating no cars allowed. To preface, there was zero damage done to the grass area due to our truck, we took photos prior to leaving the campground to protect ourselves since management is so emotionally unstable. Mind you: this is an army corp engineers campground, by Under federal law(36 CFR§ 327.2), motorized vehicles, including golf carts, UTVs, ATVs, and standard cars, must remain strictly on designated paved or gravel roads and parking lots. We found this rule after we got home and did our research. There were about 5 golf carts AND a gator in and out of the beach area through out the day. If someone had simply approached us and kindly explained that vehicles were not allowed there, we would have apologized. Instead, staff chose to sit back after someone complained, watch my children swim for hours, wait for us to clean up and bring the truck down to reload, then turn a simple misunderstanding into a confrontation. A staff member approached the truck in a golf cart, speeding up and hopping out(this is all on video) while my minor daughter was inside, reached into our vehicle and took our tag then proceeded to yell at us to pack our“shit” and prepare to leave. The way this was handled was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. Our children were present, witnessed this, and were left scared and confused over a situation that could have been resolved in less than a minute with a respectful conversation. We were also told there is a strict 5 mph speed limit and that radar is used because of a serious incident involving a child in the past, He was hit and life flighted. Yet seasonal campers continued driving golf carts around at unsafe speeds while drinking. Rules and safety expectations should apply equally to everyone, not only when management decides to enforce them against certain guests and not their buddies who pay for a seasonal spot. We went to the office in good faith to discuss what happened and believed the situation had been resolved. We stayed another night, only to be told the following morning that we were no longer welcome back. To permanently ban a family over a first time issue involving a rule that was never communicated is absolutely unacceptable. A well run campground understands that communication and respect go both ways. Instead, this campground made paying guests feel unwelcome and disposable. Management needs to take a serious look at how they handle conflicts because this was not customer service, it was an unnecessary escalation. We will never return to this campground, and after this experience, we strongly encourage other families to think twice before booking a stay here. Especially with young children.

Kindra W.GuideCoopers Rock State Forest- McCollum Campground
5 stars! Large lots, beautiful scenery, and nice campers
Coopers Rock State Park is an absolute gem and easily deserves 5 stars. The RV lots are large and easy to navigate, making setup stress-free and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful, which made the whole stay even better. The new washrooms were clean, modern, and well maintained, and the scenery is breathtaking everywhere you look. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and take in the beautiful views.

Coopers Rock State Forest- McCollum Campground
Beautiful and lush campground
This place is gorgeous and very quiet. The shower house and bathrooms were well maintained, and even had a laundry room and large sink around the back for dishes. Laundry costs $2 in quarters per load, 4 quarters for the washer and 4 quarters for the dryer. They are quick as well, took maybe an hour and 15 minutes all together. Campsites are spaced apart so you're not directly on top of eachother, but you can still see most of the other campers. Lots of trails in the area. We had electrical hook up and a lantern pole, and the is a dump and water station on the way in/out. Highly recommend this site.

OK place to stay, work in progress
We've stayed here annually for 7 years. Getting into the RV sites is a steep climb, then you head down from the top of the hill to the RV sites.
The older portion has back in and pull through sites. They are medium to small in size, and due to their height and proximity to Interstates you hear trucks engine breaking. The newer section is lower (and quieter) and the sites are larger, but the gravel is not compacted so it sinks in when you drive, park or try to level your RV on it.
There were dog walking trails in the woods but they are so overgrown you need a machete to use them. The pool is nice and is clean. The camp store is not small but carries a very limited amount of supplies.
The staff are friendly. We've had RV issues and birds nesting under our slide room covers that they have helped us deal with.

We are here a couple days . Staff and facilities are great. Lots of hiking trails of various types and lengths. June 9 and only 2 other RVs on our loop. The “new” loop has great single occupancy bath facilities.
Guide to Morrisville
Camping areas near Morrisville, Pennsylvania extend beyond the established sites along the Youghiogheny River to include several state forests and parks within a 1-2 hour drive. Most campgrounds in this region sit at elevations between 1,200-2,500 feet, creating moderate temperature fluctuations between day and night even during summer months. Cell service varies significantly across campgrounds, with several sites in higher elevations experiencing complete dead zones for certain carriers.
What to do
Hiking trails year-round: At Ryerson Station State Park Campground, trails remain accessible during winter months when other parks close. A camper noted, "I mainly take advantage of the mushrooming and hiking!" while another mentioned that "many of the mushrooms didn't even require us to leave the path!"
Mountain biking access: Trails at Coopers Rock State Forest provide multiple difficulty levels with recently maintained surfaces. "The RV lots were well maintained and all the asphalt seems to have been redone recently," reports one visitor who appreciated the improved access roads leading to trailheads.
Rock climbing opportunities: Several sites within Coopers Rock offer climbing routes suitable for beginners to intermediates. A regular visitor mentions, "I have been going here for years and I always love to climb this area. The pitches aren't too high (50ft) but great just to get out there and enjoy life!"
What campers like
Private wooded sites: Many campsites near Morrisville offer good separation between camping spots. At Kentuck Campground — Ohiopyle State Park, campers appreciate the natural spacing. One camper observed, "Very clean and quiet. The people selling firewood were the best! Site 166 is not flat what so ever."
Modern bathroom facilities: Some campgrounds have updated their facilities recently. According to a visitor at Ryerson Station, "There are brand new bathrooms and a shower house, water hook-ups, big sites that are mostly shaded. (They reduced the numbers of sites from around 50 to 35.)"
Swimming options: While natural lakes are limited, several campgrounds offer alternatives. At Pine Cove Beach Club RV Resort, visitors praise "The pool & concession stand, beautifully maintained lawns and gravel campsites, modern hookups, good shower/laundry facilities, nice fire rings with built in grills, trash pickup service."
What you should know
Terrain challenges: Many campgrounds feature significant elevation changes that can impact site selection. One camper at Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA warned, "The hills were terrible getting there, then another hill to get to the KOA. Then ANOTHER hill to get to our site."
Cell service limitations: Coverage varies dramatically across the region. A Ryerson Station visitor reported, "There is NO Verizon service at the campground. We walked up to the amphitheater and were able to get out a few texts but no looking at the radar. One person in our party had AT&T and was able to text from the campground but still a very weak signal."
Reservation systems: Most campgrounds don't offer online booking. A Pine Cove camper mentioned appreciating most aspects of their stay but noted "Room for improvement: No online reservations, bathrooms weren't cleaned daily."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Look for campgrounds with dedicated play areas for different age groups. A camper visiting Mylan Park reported, "Fields & Grassy area adjacent. Good for kids biking & running around," making it suitable for active children.
Loop roads for biking: Smaller campgrounds with closed loops work well for younger cyclists. As one Ryerson Station visitor noted, "Small camp loop is great for little kids to bike around. There is no playground at the campground which would have been nice."
Check noise levels: Some campgrounds host events that can disrupt sleep. A Mylan Park visitor warned, "Check the schedule before you book... There was a rave. Hundreds of people listening to Electronic Dance Music (EDM) that went on til 2am... The bass was shaking the RVs."
Tips from RVers
Hookup locations: Pay attention to utility placement when booking. A Coopers Rock visitor advised, "The sites were nicely spaced out, the camp staff is helpful, and the showers are very clean. The camp Wi-Fi isn't the best but we did have cell service with Consumer Cellular (AT&T Towers) and were able to work while we camped."
Access road considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging approach roads. A Ryerson Station camper cautioned, "In addition, we have a 26 foot motor home. To get to the campground, you have to drive several miles on a two lane winding road. Hard to navigate a vehicle in those road conditions."
Leveling requirements: Prepare for uneven sites at many locations. A Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA visitor mentioned, "A dozen or so of the sites are not level, not only that but they are narrow and where you sit is a slope making it very uncomfortable."
