GuideThis campground checks all our boxes. Beautiful scenery, quiet location, spacious campsites, full RV hookups, well-placed fire rings, dog park, nice large bathhouses, polite staff, and Wi-Fi that works.
This is located about an hour away from my home, so we plan on making this our go-to for quick camping getaways throughout the year.
Highly recommended. Definitely worth checking out.
GuidePreface: if your main objective is activities for children, you have come to the right place. This place is loud and full of kids.
We booked a site but chose not to pay to select which one. All the pictures looked great! We ended up on a grassy hill in the back. 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.
Also bathrooms were outdated. They had older residential toilets that plugged constantly. The day we left 2 of the 3 in our nearest bathroom were out of order.
Aside from all the above, 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.
RangerThis may be the first campground I give a 10 out of 10! All the amenities your could want, it's clean, sites are leveled, it's maintained beautifully, there are cows in the distance, fully stocked store, friendly staff. Laundry, bathrooms, fairly spacious sites, a pool, dog park. Very, very nice.
GuideNew Germany State Park is situated in Garrett County Maryland. The park has a small lake, a few trails, and two camping loops. The Hemlock loop- the only loop that allows pets, is smaller and is mostly made for tent camping, though one site has electricity, but only big enough for a teardrop camper. There is a bathroom with a hot shower. The problems with the Hemlock loop is the proximity to the other campers. Our neighbors were loud, their kids were louder and their dog was ear- splitting loud. The tent pads are varied in size with sites 52, 53 and 57 being just big enough for a large tent and not much else. Every site has a large picnic table ( that is impressively hard to move) and a fire ring. Some sites are not very level, not not as much that your rolling out of bed in your sleep. There is water, but just at the bathroom area. This makes sense since the loop itself is very small. Deer are dense in these parts, and bears frequent the area. Summer temps usually do not get as nice 85max most of the summer. There is also cross country skiing in the winter. Despite the smaller sites, the Hemlock loop is frequently full, as is the non pet loop, which can accommodate larger tents and RV’s., but no pets.
TravelerWhile most of the campgrounds in the park are no pets- there are 2 loops that allow your furry companions! Loop F includes electric spots! Loved seeing the 'neighbors' dogs get excited and curious when I walked my 4-legged best friend around the site. Clean area , close to a modern bathroom (a few stalls & even 2 showers!) Looking forward to going back at the end of the month.
ScoutVery conveniently located off the interstate. Follow the signs to the campground NOT the GPS in order to avoid some narrow and sharp turn roads. Staff were super friendly! Front desk staff were knowledgeable and and helpful. We had some issues with our power, and Larry was at our site within minutes to fix it. Big open dog park! There are only a few shaded spots. Spot width was a little narrow where we stayed (on the hill), but perfect for a quick overnight stay. Bathrooms were fairly clean, laundry was nice. The pool looked very well maintained.
TravelerI was the only tenter at the time of my stay; had the whole place to myself. The sites are spread far apart and wooded. Table and fire rings are at each site. They have a brand new bath house which was spotless and a well kept dog park for the furs. If desired, there is a group campsite and the use of a pavilion too. The camp store if beautiful and has everything in it should you forget something. I’ll definitely be back.

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
The Laurel Highlands region near Perryopolis provides numerous camping options at elevations between 800-2,900 feet, with weather conditions that shift dramatically between seasons. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing while summer brings highs in the 80s with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally from April through October, though several offer year-round camping for those prepared for variable conditions.
Explore historical sites: Within 30 minutes of Fox Den Acres Campground, you can access significant historic landmarks. "This is a large campground with play grounds, well maintained pool and grounds, fishing, party pavilions, and store. The staff is nice and helpful. It's very military positive, even includes a reserved place for the fallen soldiers," notes a reviewer who appreciated the patriotic atmosphere.
Bike the Great Allegheny Passage: This rail-trail provides over 150 miles of riding opportunities with access points near multiple campgrounds. A camper at The Blue Canoe RV Resort noted, "The GAP trail rolls right through the middle of this traditional KOA campground. The seasonal RVers and weekend warriors have long claimed their sites, but for through riders on the trail there is a special place to camp, close to the west-bound entrance."
Water activities: Fishing ponds and river access provide water recreation options throughout the region. At Dravo's Landing Campground, campers enjoy "water access along the Youghiogheny River. Access from the Allegheny Gap trail. There were a few shelters, nice campsite. It's close to an old cemetery which is useful in telling ghosts stories around the campfire."
Convenience to outdoor attractions: Campers value proximity to natural landmarks and outdoor activities. A visitor to Kentuck Campground — Ohiopyle State Park wrote, "Great campground right on the Great Allegheny Passage trail. We loved being able to access the GAP trail right from the campground. We were there in November with plans to visit Fallingwater. This campground was the perfect location for both activities!"
Spacious sites: Campers frequently mention site size and layout as important factors. One reviewer at Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground shared, "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!"
Pet-friendly policies: Many campgrounds in the Perryopolis area accommodate pets with varying amenities. At Benner's Meadow Run, one camper noted, "This was our first big trip with two large dogs and it did not disappoint. It was relaxing and quiet with large spots to space out in."
Train noise: Several campgrounds along the river warn about nearby train tracks. A reviewer at Roundbottom Hiker-Biker Campground advised, "One thing to consider with these campgrounds next to the trail is the number of trains that pass by in the night. It's not the train horn but the number of turns in the track and the squealing breaks that keep you up -- so bring good earplugs!"
Limited amenities at free sites: While budget-friendly, the free camping options have fewer facilities. At Dravo's Landing, campers note the "bathrooms are the typical Forest Service pit toilet, and drinking water is also available."
Distance from grocery stores: Plan food needs before arrival as shopping options are limited. One camper at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Mill Run advised, "Camp store is sparse, they need to bring it up date and offer more. Make sure you grocery shopping before you pull in."
Choose campgrounds with dedicated children's activities: Several area campgrounds offer structured programming. A visitor to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Mill Run shared, "Mill run by far the best yogi bear/campground we have been to. Second time we have been & they have upgraded the water slides, 4 huge slides plus big splash pad with little slide for smaller kids."
Consider proximity to bathhouses: When camping with children, bathroom access matters. At Fox Den Acres, a camper mentioned, "Tent site was nice and conveniently located next to the bathhouse."
Plan for seasonal differences: Family camping experiences vary significantly by season. A winter visitor to Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA reported, "We're staying in the winter for a few nights to visit friends who live outside Pittsburgh. Friendly and cozy spot. They've done a great job in the winter despite the frigid weather by using heat tape on the spigots and leaving lots of information at the office."
Check site leveling: Many campgrounds in the hilly terrain have uneven sites. One RVer at Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA noted, "I couldn't get it level with my Anderson levelers it was pretty slopped. On my way out I heard they were having someone come in to level the sites so I imagine it was just the time of year we visited."
Consider site location for comfort: RV sites vary considerably in desirability. A visitor to The Blue Canoe RV Resort observed, "Located on the Youghiogheny River. Many full hookups, great play ground for the kids. Staff make multiple rounds, picks up your trash and delivers your purchased firewood. The only thing we didn't care for was the fire rings are all in sight of each other."
Verify hookup types: Available connections differ between campgrounds. Pine Cove Beach Club RV Resort receives praise for its "modern hookups," while other campgrounds may offer more limited options for larger rigs.
