ScoutI struggled making a reservation online, you need an account and it wouldn’t let me make one but i was able to call in and reserve a spot same day. I’m traveling to the east coast and just needed a place to pitch a tent for the night. worked perfect.
GuideWe were passing through on a weeknight in mid September. Many open sites. Sites are paved and many are sloped. Most are shaded. Our site #41 was fairly level with electricity. Close to huge bathhouse with flush toilets, showers and laundry. High above the lake with views through the trees. Appeared there were many long term campers but just as good for our short overnight stay. Online registration. $45 for electric only site.
TravelerStayed here right after Labor Day - very few other campers. Campsites were large and gave privacy - easy to park. Plenty of activities - hiking, frisbee golf, swimming, horseshoes, basketball, maze and a playground. Clean sites - they do a great job of keeping up on the property. AT&T cell phone service was weak - one bar most of the time. Close to bike trails along Oil Creek. A lot of great history to explore in both Titusville and Oil City. Shopping for food just 10 minutes down the road. Great customer service on arrival - gave us options for sites and let us explore before choosing even after we arrived about 15 minutes until the office was supposed to close.
GuideMosquito Lake gets a bad rap because of its name. We had such a great time launching our kayak from our campsite! I’ve attached a highlighted map marked with the sights on or very close to the water to launch a kayak. Additional kayak launch sites available around the park if you can’t get one of these. It’s great campground if you have kids or a dog. Plenty of great playgrounds and a dog park/dog beach. The camp host was very nice and welcoming. The wash house has laundry and showers. Everything was clean.
TravelerNice campground! They hold lots of random activities for kids like tie dying, tractor ride, etc. We stayed in spot 24, which is very spacious, but I did not like the fact that it’s right next to the road where cars are speeding by. I do not think this spot in particular would be good if you have small children
GuideMany sites on the lake. Old facilities. It eas humid and had rained (thunder storm). Quiet. Typical eastern usa camping with thick canopy of trees, mosquitoes. Site 80 was more open, and on a cul de sac. Gravel pad with a 2-3 degree slant. Lots of critters about.
GuideI've heard there are campgrounds that discriminate against car camping, first time experiencing it. There are many sites where people have a LARGE camper, a car, and multiple tents spread out over a large area. We have 2 SUV's with tents that attach to the backs. We followed all the rules and are taking up about HALF of our site. We were told that is not allowed. When asked for reasoning and comparing to what we've seen around the park, we get no clear answer that makes sense. We are here with a group that rented about 20 sites. After spending 4 hours setting everything up, she says one may have to leave; she's waiting to hear from her boss. I will definitely never return here!
GuideStayed one night while visiting friends. The campground was nice but could use some updating. It was definitely geared more towards families with small children. The showers were interesting. In the men’s they had a pull cord and a button in the women’s. Hot water was more of a mild suggestion rather than an actual thing you got. Luke warm was a generous way of describing it. Not a bad campground if you have a reason to be in the area for a night, but I would recommend it for long stayed unless your camper is very self contained.
ScoutWhen we arrived, we checked in at the camp office. The ladies there were very kind. The roads through the campground are wide enough for two-way traffic and nicely paved.
This is a beautiful, heavily treed campground. Even on Memorial Day weekend with lots of people, the park was very peaceful. The sounds of birds permeate the air round the clock. Chipmunks run amok. They’re just so cute.
We booked site 56 for our 39’ fifth wheel. As soon as we pulled up, we knew there was no way we’d fit even though the reservation site said it would accommodate a 40’ rig. The camp hosts happened to be passing by as we were surveying the site. They were very helpful redirecting us to a nearby site that would be more suitable. FYI, sites 55 and 56 have deep culverts on either side. One wrong turn and you’re going to have a problem. The majority of sites along our road were just wide enough to keep the tires out of the dirt, but not wide enough for the stairs to land on asphalt. If you have a motorhome or other wide-bodied rig, like an Alliance Paradigm, I would recommend choosing one of the sites on the loop around the playground. Those are better suited for newer big rigs.
TIP…the line at the dump station is long on the holiday weekends. Plan accordingly.

The area sits at elevations ranging from 900 to 1,200 feet in the Appalachian foothills with rich forest cover and numerous watersheds.

Hiking near McConnells Mill: Breakneck Campground sits adjacent to McConnells Mill State Park with easy access to multiple trails. "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," notes a camper at Breakneck Campground.
Fishing opportunities: Berlin Lake Wildlife Area provides abundant fishing spots with direct water access. "Nice boat dock! Love the lake front sites! And excellent price!" reports a visitor at Mill Creek Camping. Many sites offer shoreline access where you can fish directly from your campsite.
Outdoor recreation variety: For those seeking upscale outdoor lodging near Volant, multiple options exist beyond the standard tent site. "We chose one of two primitive sites next to a small creek. Apart from the campers above us on top of the hill, we were a few hundred feet from the other primitive sites. Despite being just a minutes walk from our truck, we felt incredibly secluded," shares a visitor describing the less-developed camping areas.
Clean facilities: The region's campgrounds maintain good standards for bathrooms and shower facilities. A visitor at Mercer-Grove City KOA noted, "Beautiful facilities. Clean bathrooms. Lots of activities. Great play area for the kids!" Many campgrounds offer full-service restrooms with hot showers rather than just basic vault toilets.
Scenic waterfront sites: Lakeside camping options abound within driving distance of Volant. "We were lucky enough to be able to 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," explains a camper at Breakneck Campground.
Family-friendly amenities: Beyond the premium glamping near Volant, Pennsylvania, there are numerous family-oriented campgrounds. "Large open campground with plenty of stuff to do for everyone and plenty of activities throughout the summer months as well," reports a visitor at Kozy Rest Kampground, which offers organized recreation options beyond just camping.
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds fill quickly, especially during summer and fall color season. "Make reservations! (6 months in advance). Waterside sites fill up quickly!" advises a camper at West Branch State Park.
Site conditions vary: Many campgrounds have uneven terrain that can challenge setup. "We were only off 2 inches side to side but front to back we had to lower the front 15 inches. The jack was down as low as it would go and we were still off by 1.5 inches," reports a visitor describing their experience at a sloped site.
Noise levels fluctuate: Weekend crowds can change the camping experience significantly. "Friday night was peaceful... When we got back from a full day of climbing Saturday, a group of at least a dozen had set up camp across the road from us. They were drinking heavily all night," reports one camper, highlighting how weekday versus weekend timing affects atmosphere.
Look for dedicated kid amenities: Several campgrounds offer specific children's recreation areas. At Rose Point Park Cabins & Camping, a visitor mentions, "Good location for outdoor and city experiences, along with a relaxing getaway. Workers and permanent campers are very friendly with all the amenities necessary on site, including nice dog park."
Consider themed weekend events: Seasonal programming enhances family camping experiences. "We stayed for their Halloween weekend. Everything was perfect. They called us the day before to make sure that we were still coming and offered us a FREE site upgrade!" shares an enthusiastic visitor describing fall activities that included pumpkin carving contests.
Evaluate bathhouse proximity: When camping with children, convenient facilities matter. "The campground is flat and great for bike riding. Nice playground for kids. Dog park nearby," notes a visitor, highlighting features that make managing family needs easier when camping with children.
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the region have uneven sites requiring preparation. "Not all sites are level. The site was not level, but we were able to get the tent trailer level without too much effort," advises an RVer describing their setup process at a typical site in the area.
Call for routing advice: Some campgrounds have access limitations for larger vehicles. "We use both the RV Garmin 890 & RV Trip Wizard and both had us doing some crazy side roads to get into the KOA. Be sure to use the park's directions for an easier drive in," recommends an RVer with a 40-foot class A motorhome.
Dump station availability: Services for RVs vary significantly between campgrounds. "They permit non guests to utilize the dump site at a small fee $20 (during non peak times). Convenient location off of route 80," notes a visitor describing accessible services even for those not staying overnight.
