5 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds surrounding Russellton offer solid options for motorhome travelers, from year-round parks to seasonal resorts with full hookups. Mountain Top Campground in Tarentum offers year-round camping with water and electric hookups, grey water disposal, and sites suitable for big rigs. "Very nice pull-through sites with full hookups for overnights," noted one camper about the region's RV accommodations. Bear Run Campground in Portersville features 300 RV sites with full hookups including 50-amp service and accommodates large motorhomes on its pull-through sites. The Blue Canoe RV Resort in Connellsville provides full hookup sites along the Youghiogheny River with 50-amp service and big rig access, operating seasonally from May through mid-October.
Navigation to some mountain campgrounds requires careful planning due to narrow, winding roads. At Mountain Top Campground, one visitor mentioned "the roads get narrow so if in an RV call them for the easiest way in." Most parks offer dump stations, though black tank service varies—Mountain Top provides a dump station or Wednesday pump-out service for extended stays. Cell coverage is generally reliable, with Verizon LTE reported at Mountain Top. Many campgrounds welcome pets with designated areas for dogs. Seasonal availability differs significantly between parks, with some operating year-round while others close during winter months. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak fall foliage season when sites fill quickly.

ScoutThis is our second time staying here. Each time in October. We love it. Unlike most RV resorts this place is small and wooded. Has free Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms and an awesome community hub room for work from home or playing games. The weekends are busy but during the week it’s so quiet and peaceful. Close to so many attractions and parks that are part of the PA Wilds. Would definitely recommend.

TravelerStayed the weekend for the first time and it wasn’t bad! There were kids playing at sites nearby but that was all the noise, highway noise at all! I like how they have a spot for your tent with a picnic table and fire ring. I was in my rooftop tent on my truck so I wish the parking spot went back a little deeper for a little more privacy. But it was nice that there was bathrooms and showers within a 1 minute walk from the site! Also it says on here there is no AT&T signal, that’s not true…it’s not great but there is a bar or 2 at times!
ScoutThe park is beautiful, unlevel shade sites; is challenging to get the trailer level. unfortunately, the bathhouses are neglected, dark and full of mildew inside the showers. The park really needs to upgrade the bathhouses. The park itself is very nice and offers a lot of opportunities for outdoor exploration and hiking.
GuideThis is more a campground for RVs then tents or even roof top tents. Place is clean and the sites 90% of them are in the open. Very little shade. Travis runs the place and very nice and accommodating. Fire wood is 20 dollars for a massive amount.
ScoutSpent three nights there in August Mid-week. Was pretty quiet but was clean and nicely taken care of. No mosquitos or bugs at night. Nice walking paths. Pool, hot tub, outdoor showers all very nice.
ScoutAdvertised as a family camp but very far from it. I’ve watched this camp progressively get worse as the years go on, over priced camp with zero efforts to make anything worthwhile, run down play grounds, broken toilet paper roll holders in the bathrooms of the shower house, roads that make you feel like your off road. Owner plans “events” and then wants campers to pay for overpriced food. The owner complains nobody comes to events anymore but barely comes to them herself. The owner is VERY money hungry! And most importantly it’s home to a sex offender who the owner cherishes dearly.
It’s a shame to see how many people realized how terrible this camp was and are selling their camps because of it. The owner should open her eyes and realize she’s the reason people don’t want to be there anymore !!!
ScoutWe are here for a month and it feels like we have the place to ourselves!
ScoutCant have no fun or drink.kids get yelled at all the time..owner sneaks around looking in campers at night..they watch every thing you do. Then they throw you out because your having to much fun. Or your up after 10pm..what a joke....please dont do nothing wrong.because.youll be on the shitlist...they are very very racist ,dont ever take a black child or try to get a place to stay or even put a tent up ,cause if your Black ,they tell you their is no room for u or a tent..STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE,ITS A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES AND THEY DONT WANT NO BLACS IN THEIR CAMP GROOUND AT ALL..GO UP THE ROAD..THEY ARE NICER THERE...
