6 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Valley View Campground in Wampum offers cabin rentals for campers seeking a rustic getaway with modern amenities. The cabins feature standard camping accommodations with electric hookups and nearby toilet facilities. Nearby Breakneck Campground provides additional cabin options with varying levels of privacy, some situated on elevated platforms overlooking wooded gorges. Rose Point Park Cabins & Camping in New Castle, approximately 15 minutes from Wampum, offers cabins with more extensive amenities including access to running water, electric hookups, and shower facilities. According to one visitor, "We stayed in a cabin with a few friends. It was a great area with a lot to do around it!"
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Basic cabins typically feature simple sleeping platforms and minimal furnishings, while upgraded options may include dedicated picnic tables, fire rings, and proximity to shared bathrooms with showers. At Breakneck Campground, visitors can choose from three-sided huts that provide shelter during inclement weather. One camper noted, "We stayed in a 3-sided hut due to rain and it was exactly what we needed!" Most cabins accommodate 4-6 people, with pet policies varying by location—Valley View and Rose Point both allow pets at their cabin sites.
Most cabins require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and cooking equipment. While some cabins provide basic cooking facilities, others rely on exterior fire rings or grills for meal preparation. On-site camp stores at Rose Point Park and Breakneck Campground sell essentials like firewood, ice, and basic provisions. For more substantial grocery needs, the town of New Castle is approximately 15 minutes away. Firewood is available for purchase at most campgrounds, with Breakneck charging $5 per bucket. Cabin availability is limited compared to tent and RV sites, so advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially during summer weekends and holiday periods.
"We wanted a secluded site and close to Pittsburgh. We arrived around 7pm and there was no check in, we drove around for a while trying to find a spot with a fire ring per some helpful campers."
"So close to the McConnells Mill trails, gorgeous deck spot above the gorge and low key vibe to the campground overall. I cannot believe it took us this long to stay here!"

"The nightly RV sites are close to the park entrance and are relatively flat. The campground hosts themed events, game nights and arts& crafts."

"This place is great if you want activities for the kids (Has a pool, arcade, etc) but if you want some privacy in the great outdoors this definitely isn’t the place (campsites are in open area extremely"
"It was one of their deluxe patio sites ,super nice patio with concrete pad and Nice Picnic Table! Site was Super Large And Was Perfect For A larger rig!"

"A few of the RV sites have electric, but no water for their tanks. I suggest the pine sites for any tent or hammock campers. "
"The camp ground was nice except there is no running water. We took advantage of some of the hiking trails around and they were good in some areas, but definitely needed to be kept up on more often."

"There is always primitive space available. With a good bit of full hookups available aswell. Pool, sauna, hot tub, picnic tables, scheduled entertainment throughout the summer. Always a blast"
"Nice walking paths. Pool, hot tub, outdoor showers all very nice."
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.
ScoutWe just bought our first RV and couldn’t ask for a better first time experience!!! Lori and Fred were absolutely awesome. Great clean facilities and pool. Lots of new upgrades and updates. Gorgeous creek and pond and an absolutely amazing set of neighbors! I loved it there and will absolutely be going back!
GuideThis place has so much to offer so I’m just going to list them : -Beautiful lakeside camping -clean, spacious and level spots -Boat launch -sandy beach -friendly camp host and park employees -basketball court, sand volleyball court, kids playground and nature center
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.
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.
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.
ScoutWe love camping here. There are a few things to do, swim in the pool, mine for gem stones, they have an arcade and a playground. It’s in a wooded area near lake Arthur with a boat ramp down the Road.
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.
ScoutA little too close together for my comfort. But very nice and relaxing area. And definitely more spread a part than commercial campgrounds.

Privacy levels: Breakneck Campground offers secluded primitive spots. "Love this small campground. 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," says Ben in his 2021 review.
Authentic experience: The rustic cabin options maintain a genuine outdoor feel. "Breakneck is a private campground on the edge of the McConnell's Mill State Park.

In addition, the group had lights on all night as well, shining directly over into our campsite and tent," reported Sara K. about her experience at Breakneck Campground in June 2019.
Bathroom facilities: Cabins have different bathroom access options. "Probably the nicest pit toilets I have experienced and while we didn't use, it the sun shower building would give anyone privacy if they had packed a portable shower," notes Aaron B. about Beaver Creek State Park.
Weekend preparation: Many cabins require advance planning. "My daughter and I came through here on our way from Michigan to Virginia. I think it was a Thursday night. It was quiet and beautiful. The host did seem to be expecting a crazy weekend, but we didn't stay to find out," reports Jenae R. about her stay at Breakneck Campground.

Navigation caution: Some cabin areas have access restrictions. "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. Totally fine when we left using their instructions," advises Jen O. about her experience at Mercer-Grove City KOA.
Proximity to amenities: Many cabins offer convenient stores and facilities. "The grounds are pretty with tall trees and plenty of amenities for families.
