Roaring Run Resort

Accessible year-round, this membership-based campground operates with gated entry and security patrols throughout the day and night. Located about 30 minutes from Pittsburgh, Roaring Run Resort requires stopping at a security booth for check-in and departure, which reviewers note can involve brief waits but adds a security layer.

The campground accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with 30-amp electrical service, though no 50-amp hookups are available. Sites include water and electrical connections but lack sewer hookups, requiring use of two dump stations located at the exit and in upper loops. One reviewer described sites as "average" with some positioned on hills that can make leveling "a little tricky." Road access involves navigating potentially tight routes, with GPS sometimes directing drivers through areas with weight-restricted bridges.

Amenities include a large pool, playground, camp store, sports courts, horseshoes, volleyball, and mini golf course. "The campground did have nice amenities," notes one visitor, though another mentioned the facility "could use some updates, namely electric service, fresh gravel for the sites." Staff patrol regularly and campers describe them as helpful.

The location provides access to regional attractions including Flight 93 National Memorial and Fallingwater. For campers seeking different options in the area, Mountain Pines Campground offers an alternative nearby.

Summer begins

First time here. Very nice sites. Pool was cold as it was early yet and all the kids loved Gaga ball. Carts and SxSs were all pretty respectful. The worms are killing all the trees tho and camper was covered in green poop from all of them in the trees.

Decent Campground, no 50 amp service

This campground is a nice, quiet campground about 30 minutes from Pittsburgh. It is a membership-based campground, we stayed there using coast to coast. The campground is decent, but not sure it really qualifies as a “resort”. It is an older park that could use some updates, namely electric service, fresh gravel for the sites, and sewer, but overall the park was clean and reasonably well kept.

The park is gated, you have to stop at the security booth to check in, enter, or leave the park, so you might have to wait a few minutes, but that is a nice level of added security. It is pretty easy to navigate the park even with a larger rig, and there is an nice sized overflow parking area to unhook your toad when you first get there. I would recommend getting there before dark. They did have signs directing you to the different site number groups which was helpful.

The road my GPS brought me in was a little tight, but manageable. There was a better route but it did have a very short bridge with a 10 ton weight limit, so be sure to really check your route. Another bonus is that it is only a few minutes from the PA turnpike.

The sites are average, but there are no sewer hookups and no 50 amp service, the whole park is 30 amp. The sites are reasonable level, but the one we had was a little tricky to get into because of it being on a hill, but it was manageable. The picnic table benches were completely rotted out.

There are two dump stations, one located on the way out, and the other located in one of the upper loops.

The campground did have nice amenities, the pool was large and clean, it had a nice playground, a camp store, sports courts, horseshoes, volleyball, and a mini golf course. The staff were all very nice, and they patrolled the park throughout the day and night for security, which is always nice.

The closest town is about 20 minutes away, and there are a bunch of restaurants, a Lowes, and auto parts stores should you need supplies or make a repair.

The campground is about 40 minutes from the Flight 93 National Memorial, about 20 minutes from Fallingwater, and there were a couple of wineries in the area as well.

All in all, our visit was good. I gave three stars because of the lack of 50 amp hookups and the size and quality of the sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amenities and facilities does Roaring Run Resort offer?

Roaring Run Resort features a swimming pool, cable TV, and internet access (though connectivity can be intermittent). The property was formerly a Boy Scout camp and offers a beautiful, natural setting with trees throughout the grounds. Facilities include Gaga ball courts that are popular with children. While the resort has water and electric hookups, it doesn't provide sewer connections at individual sites. The campground has cart and side-by-side (SxS) trails for recreation, though the amenities may not match typical resort expectations as some facilities could benefit from updates.

How much does it cost to stay at Roaring Run Resort in Champion, PA?

Roaring Run Resort operates primarily as a membership-based campground where guests must purchase "ownership" to stay regularly. However, they do offer trial weekends for potential members to experience the facilities before committing. The resort also participates in the Coast to Coast network, allowing members of that program to stay without purchasing ownership directly from Roaring Run. For specific current rates and membership details, contact the resort directly as pricing structures for ownership and trial stays are subject to change.

What do visitors say about their experience at Roaring Run Resort?

Visitors to Roaring Run Resort generally describe it as a quiet, peaceful campground with a beautiful location. The staff receives positive mentions for being helpful and friendly. Many appreciate the natural setting, though some note the campground may not fully live up to its "resort" designation. Families particularly enjoy the Gaga ball courts and swimming pool for kids. The campground layout features hilly terrain with relatively small sites. Some guests mention environmental challenges like caterpillars affecting the trees during certain seasons.

How does Roaring Run Resort compare to other campgrounds in Champion, PA?

Roaring Run Resort distinguishes itself as a membership-based campground in the Champion area, approximately 30 minutes from Pittsburgh. Unlike traditional public campgrounds, Roaring Run requires ownership for regular stays, making it more suitable for those seeking a consistent vacation spot rather than one-time visitors. The facilities are decent but less updated than some newer commercial campgrounds in the region. Its quieter atmosphere and recreational options like Gaga ball and swimming make it family-friendly. The natural setting with abundant trees provides a more rustic experience compared to more developed campgrounds in the area.
