The Blue Canoe RV Resort

6 ReviewsAdd Review

The Blue Canoe RV Resort accommodates RVs up to 70 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Located along the Youghiogheny River in Connellsville, this private resort operates seasonally from May through mid-October with reservations available and pets welcome. The property provides both drive-in and boat-in access, though reviewers note the boat launch area can become muddy during wet conditions.

The campground features multiple pools, playgrounds, and river access for kayaking and other water activities. Fire rings line up parallel to sites, creating limited privacy between camping spots according to visitor feedback. Staff members make regular rounds to collect trash and deliver firewood, personally escorting guests to their assigned sites. Rob S. notes the location "on the Youghiogheny River" with "many full hookups, great play ground for the kids."

The Great Allegheny Passage trail runs directly through the middle of the resort, making it popular with cyclists and trail users. Modern restroom and shower facilities serve both overnight guests and trail riders, with laundry services and ice cream available on-site. The campground tends to stay busy with seasonal RV sites and weekend visitors, creating a more active atmosphere than remote camping areas.

For additional camping options in the region, consider campgrounds near Vanderbilt. Book early during peak season as sites fill quickly with regular visitors.

Good and bad

This is a former KOA campground, but still has the same management. The good: pretty campground, clean and nice amenities. Bad: the management is rude and unfriendly. Also, the seasonal campers are also salty. We were driving a golf cart, going less than the speed limit and the seasonal guests shook their fingers at us to slow down… Unfortunately we won’t come back bc of the people. The site itself is great.

A Trail Runs Through It: The GAP Trail KOA

The GAP trail rolls right through the middle of this traditional KOA campground. The seasonal RVers and weekend warriors have long claimed their sites, but for through riders on the trail there is a special place to camp, close to the west-bound entrance. The picnic tables and fire rings are surrounded by hammock poles and there’s lots of space for scattered tents. The bathroom and shower facilities are modern and well maintained. And, of course, they have ice cream and laundry available! They also have cabins if you need to get out of the weather. We didn’t check those out, but saw them on the property. 

If you are an RVer and seeking a place to park and ride along this trail, this is a perfect place to have the best of both worlds. This is a very busy campground, nothing like the serenity of the less easy to access sites along the GAP trail, but offers some nice services for those in need of them.

The closest town is Connellsville where you can get everything you might need.  Great restaurants as well!  Check out the Kickstand Kitchen for an ahhhmazing meal!!  Best restaurant along the trail, by far.

RV Sites On the River

Located on the Youghiogheny River. Many full hookups, great play ground for the kids. New pool, but not open when we stayed. Staff make multiple rounds, picks up your trash and delivers your purchased firewood. Personally takes you to you site and helps you back in/pull in. 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. I don’t know if the River was just low, but the ramp for entering/exiting with your kayak stopped before river getting to the river’s edge. It was very muddy after the ramp, so it was slick getting to the river and we sunk into the mud several inches; had been raining and rained on/off that weekend.

All in all a thumbs up and we will likely be returning.
