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.
ScoutPLEASE DONT GO HERE ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE KIDS AND IF YOUR NOT WHITE..THE OWNER IS A RACIST HYPOCRITE AND SO ARE ALL OF HER CREW AT THIS LOWLIFE CAMPGROUND.

ScoutThere’s no electricity and no where in walking distance and the internet isn’t great, and at night u hear raccoons in the trash cans. If you come here bring a portable phone charger. There’s really nothing here, and the bathrooms are disgusting
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 !!!
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...
The Valencia area offers relatively flat camping terrain within the glaciated regions of western Pennsylvania. Elevations range from 1,100-1,300 feet with moderately humid summers averaging 80°F and cool spring and fall nights typically in the 40s. Most campgrounds remain open from mid-April through mid-October due to the region's seasonal weather patterns.
Lake activities at Moraine State Park: Located 20 minutes from Valencia, Moraine State Park features Lake Arthur with swimming beaches, boat rentals, and fishing. "Moraine is a really large state park with a huge lake, nice beaches, and tons of trails. The north country trail runs for over a dozen miles from end to end," notes Matt R. While camping within the park is limited, nearby options provide easy access to these amenities.
Hiking at McConnells Mill: The terrain around Breakneck Campground provides access to state park trails with varying difficulty levels. "From our campsite we walked along the creek into McConnells Mill State Park and joined the covered bridge trail. Approx. 30min walk along the creek down into McConnells Mill State Park," shares Britt B. The area features rock formations, water features, and densely wooded trails.
Bike riding on paved trails: The bike trails throughout the region connect multiple recreation areas. As Mitchel R. explains about Moraine State Park, "It offers many camping styles including Group Tenting, Adirondack shelters for backpacking, and Cabins," with a "Bike Trail" that runs through much of the area, allowing cyclists to explore extensive routes.
Secluded creek sites: Hidden spots near moving water offer peaceful camping experiences. "We were lucky enough to be able to camp down by the stream. There are designated fireplaces. It is quite a walk up the hill to the campground amenities, but worth it to feel secluded down by the creek," writes Britt B. about her stay at Breakneck Campground.
Panoramic viewing platforms: The region's rolling hills create natural observation points. Taylor S. shares her experience at Breakneck: "We definitely lucked out with one of the best campsites; we were right next to the creek, it was super spacious and super private," highlighting the unique terrain features of the area.
Small-town accessibility: Indian Brave Campground offers proximity to local communities. "This place is great. Friendly office staff. Every spot has a fire pit. Love the option to have rent electric," notes Jessica Z. Another camper, James, adds it's "walking distance to harmony and all the live music and nightlife that Harmony and Zelienople have to offer."
Seasonal weather considerations: The region experiences significant seasonal variations. At Raccoon Creek State Park Campground, Jay R. describes winter opportunities: "Got out for a couple hours hiking in the snow. It was great. Just what we needed to stretch the legs and enjoy some family time. We did the Palomino Loop. It also was quite interesting getting to the trail. Some nice snow covered back roads."
Campground terrain: Many campgrounds feature significant elevation changes. One camper at Raccoon Creek noted, "There is a trail that leads down from the tent loop to the beach which is cool but very very steep (not for too young or old)." Others mention "winding roads" leading to campgrounds.
