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Also bathrooms were outdated.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.
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
TravelerIn the past 5 years, I've made 13 trips to Raccoon Creek State Park and spent 16 nights in a tent there. It is my local state park and I can tell you lots about it.
The D loop is really great tent camping at Raccoon Creek State Park. It's tents only, no RVs. So it gets a really fun, party vibe on Saturday nights during the summer. There's a trail right to the beach near the D loop, so it's a great place for families to go with pets. The sites are big, wooded, and all close to the bathroom.
The C loop, however, doesn't take pets (which stinks). When we have our dogs with us, we gravitate towards the C loop. It's fine, but it's not as fun as the D loop.
When we don't make a reservation and we have our dog, we end up in the F loop. It's not our preference (but--let's be clear--even the worst site in the F loop is better than NO trip!).
Pet-friendly campground options around Sutersville offer direct access to the Youghiogheny River valley and Allegheny Mountains. Located at elevations between 800-1,200 feet, the region features mixed hardwood forests and river corridors with well-maintained trail systems. Most campgrounds remain open April through October with limited winter camping available at select locations.
River activities: The Youghiogheny River provides water access at Dravo's Landing Campground where campers can enjoy fishing and swimming. "Free bike-in camp site with water access along the Youghiogheny River. Access from the Allegheny Gap trail. There were a few shelters, nice campsite," notes Lauren C.
Bike the GAP Trail: The Great Allegheny Passage trail connects multiple campgrounds in the region. As Shari G. observed at Roundbottom Hiker-Biker Campground, "This is one of the only free hiker-biker campgrounds along the GAP trail (mile 99.6)... The river is very easy to access for a quick dip after a long day on the trail."
Morning wildlife viewing: Dawn provides optimal wildlife viewing opportunities, especially for bird watchers. "Morning walks reveal abundant wildlife, including birds that create a natural soundtrack at dawn," according to campers who visit the area. Secure food containers are necessary as raccoons frequently visit campsites after dark.
Large industrial laundry facilities: Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA offers exceptionally large laundry machines. "Laundry facilities are the best we have encountered. Big machines and dryers making life easier and less time spent doing laundry," writes Mary Elisabeth D., who appreciates this practical amenity.
Off-season quiet: Many campgrounds offer year-round access with fewer crowds during winter months. "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," notes Zachary H.
Spacious tent sites: Fox Den Acres Campground provides well-sized tent camping areas. "Each site was very spacious and well shaded. Fire ring and table at each sight. Restroom were a short walk away," explains Dena L., highlighting the comfortable accommodations for tent campers.
Uneven terrain at some sites: Many campgrounds in the Sutersville area feature sloped sites that can challenge RV leveling. As Patience W. mentions, "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."
Limited grocery options: Stock up on supplies before arrival as rural locations have minimal shopping. "Make sure you grocery shopping before you pull in," advises a KOA visitor, noting the limited options at camp stores.
Train noise proximity: Several dog-friendly campgrounds near Sutersville are positioned alongside active rail lines. Shari G. warns at The Blue Canoe RV Resort: "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."
Swimming options: Keystone State Park Campground offers family-friendly swimming in a designated lake area. "Small lake where you can fish, paddle boat, and swim. Quiet hours and parking are strictly enforced," notes Joseph S.
Multiple playgrounds: Several campgrounds feature playground equipment for different age groups. Evelyn T. describes, "They have a pool, fishing pond and a cloud pillow with the playground next to it along with two small dog play areas."
Child-friendly fishing spots: Stocked ponds at multiple locations provide easy fishing access for beginners. "We did watch kids fishing and pulling fish out as soon as they put their line in!! So much fun for them," writes Patience W. about her experience at Fox Den Acres Campground.
Steep access roads: Several campgrounds require navigating significant hills. At Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA, Cynthia K. cautions, "The hills were terrible getting there, then another hill to get to the KOA. The ANOTHER hill to get to our site."
Limited level sites: Reserve early for the most level options at dog-friendly campgrounds near Sutersville. Kevin D. notes, "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."
Fire ring positioning: Some campgrounds arrange fire rings in uniform rows rather than at individual sites. "The only thing we didn't care for was the fire rings are all in sight of each other. Like a row parallel to the sites all the way down the line; not much privacy while cooking or enjoying your fire," explains Rob S.
