This is a beautiful location literally on top of the mountain just north of Pittsburgh.Sites are mostly on the perimeter of a large green meadow with most of the sites having amazing views over the forests. Just beautiful.

Water and electric and gray water hookups at each site. Dump station upon exit. Also has honey wagon service for longer stays. The owners live on site and are delightful and helpful. Water pressure is great, site level, picnic table and fire ring.

Satellite and MiFi worked fine. Small laundry and shower house, plus a couple portable toilets in the meadow.

Follow the directions on the website - not your GPS. The final pull to the top is a bit narrow and rough, but there were no other cars and it wasn't an issue in our large DP pulling a Jeep.

Wish we could have stayed here longer. Nice drive to Pittsburgh, other smaller towns for services even closer.

This park is on the top of the hill, open sky in the middle sites. The road here is terrible and their gravel driveway is not much better. Site had W/E only, found no showers or toilets other than a couple of portable toilets scattered around the campground. No routine camping activities or features on site. 30 minutes drive to Pittsburgh. $45 per night is way too much for this place (weekend, full price; they are Passport America but only during the week). The dump station is a bit tricky to maneuver a big rig to, you may not want to try it with a toad. I took particular issue with the park's website. It displays awesome photos and description of a massive gym newly built on site. There is none. The owner said her website was hacked and the gym info added with a link for the hacker(s) to steal her customers. Why she doesn't discontinue/erase the site & start a new, accurate one is beyond me. I can only guess she still benefits from the bogus gym info as a draw for RV-ers to her park. There are not a lot of options in the area for RV parks. We will not return.

We were there to go to a concert in Pittsburgh. The campground was recommended to us due to the Mountain top location. The regular road in was under construction so we had to detour around which made the trip back down to Pittsburgh or anywhere else 10-15 minutes longer. But there are not a lot of options in the area. We had a long back in gravel site with water and 50 amp and a gray water connection. We had a picnic table and fire ring. There is a dump station for black. We’re 36 feet and had no trouble with the dump station. Verizon worked fine and so did dish. We also got plenty over the air stations. The road in is rough and narrow. Some areas where tree limbs are close. There is a new looking building with two bathroom/showers and one washer and dryer. No other amenities. Owners are very nice. It is beautiful and quiet. I try to be consistent with my ratings so since it’s not FHU, the road in is rough, and there’s no amenities aside from the small bath/laundry I can’t go more than 3 stars. But we enjoyed not being packed in like sardines and there were no children. So no bikes, no crying.

We stayed here in late May 2020 for a couple nights and had a nice experience overall. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and got us set up in a sight on the edge of the hill with a gorgeous view. Although the site is water/electric, there's a dump station and a hose that you can use to dump some grey water from your site if need be. There's a walking trail and bathhouse (closed during covid) here, as well as a stage for events. It's an easy drive from Pittsburgh and if you follow the route on their website, it's a piece of cake to access. I would and will definitely stay again.

I stayed here for about 6 weeks in the process of selling my house. Owners were super nice and the view from the mountain in gorgeous. Some weekends have a bluegrass band that plays. Although they don’t have sites with sewer, they have a company that comes and pumps your tanks every week so you don’t have to leave your site or have a portable waste container. No big frills but a lovely place to camp. Wifi was fantastic and I was able to work from the camper without issue.

Really nice cg. Very well maintained. Electric and water at each site. The water is shared between some sites (one hydrant) so water pressure can at times get a little low. 30 & 50 amp service. Dump station on site. Very nice, modern, private room style bathrooms, with token operated shower. Laundry on-site. The views are really nice from most perimeter sites. The owners/operators (family) are SUPER nice. We ran into a mechanical issue with our truck and had to extend our stay and even though they were full for the weekend, they accommodated us and even offered to drive us to the Ford dealership. The only reason I did not give 5 stars, is that the sites are pretty close together and have no trees or bushes as a buffer. And some sites are grass, without a gravel pad. Would definitely stay here again.

This was mainly a place to sleep while visiting friends in Glenshaw, but it was the closest campground to them. The owner was nice enough to guide me to my site and offer to level my TT with a concrete paver laying nearby.
The park was situated in a big circle. It has a laundry room and one pay shower. I didn't find the dump station on my way out, but that was my fault for not seeking it out prior to my departure.All in all it was a good experience. Easy access to Pittsburg.

We liked this campground.
At first blush, it seemed not so great. Sites seemed close and no privacy
between sites. But we had plenty of room, full hook-ups, clean toilet and (pay) shower and a laundry.
Like I said, very quiet. And we had a lovely view. Gary (owner) was kind and helpful. Near level site.
30 minutes to Pittsburgh. Internet pretty good.

On top of the mountain (thus the name!), sites a little tight but still roomy. The big valley below had a good view of it from the site. Gary was very helpful, even loaning is an extension cord for the electrical pedestal which our 25 foot cord wouldn’t reach the outlet on the camper. They had a drain hose connection for the gray water tank, a dump station for black water. No cable tv but from the top of the mountain we could get about 14 channels just through the tv without an antenna. Shower and toilet facility was new and very nice. Had porta potty very near the site we had as well. Make sure you follow there instructions on getting there if you have a large rv. Roads are rough and one has a low bridge across it (10 feet). Not many other amenities, ice and firewood available, seemed to be a fair amount of seasonal rv’s. Very relaxing campground close to Pittsburgh and oakmont
