My wife and I were slated to spend four days at Mountaintop RV Campsite, Tarentum PA in late April 2022. On the second day we were there, we received word from Boston MA that my sister was in distress. She had an elective heart procedure that went wrong, resulting in emergency open heart surgery; at the time of the call, we weren’t sure if she would live or die. This was on a Wednesday. I contacted the owners to feel out our options. They were SO GREAT! We arranged to leave our motor home with them in a vacant lot and drive to Boston in our tow-behind car on Thursday. We thought we’d be back on Sunday or Monday after spending the weekend. How wrong we were! We drove all day (12 hours) Thursday and got to see my sister on Friday. She was alive, thankfully no funeral this trip. As the days passed, we realized that she was going to need more care than we originally thought or that our other sisters in Boston could provide, at least initially… not that we had any idea what we were all in for. She left the hospital and went to my sister’s house on Monday, where my wife and I were staying. I called back to the campsite and told them of our situation, asked if it were possible for us to stay through the end of that week. Again, they were so great, said we could. As the week passed, we were able to take care of her while my other sisters and her daughter worked. We formulated our plan, called the campsite again, and asked if we could stay through the weekend. They immediately said yes. We finally headed back to the campsite on Sunday, calling them along the way. We used Monday to unwind a bit, and repack things, and then left on Tuesday. Our 4 night stay turned into a 15 night stay (mostly by our motor home!). Gary, Cathy, and Greg were all so WONDERFUL! We highly recommend them and the Mountaintop RV Campsite. We will surely stay with them the next time we are in the western PA area.

Very clean. Very nice people too. Very quiet, great views. Has 3 washers, 1 dryer, 1 bathroom with shower. Shower and washer/dryer are run by tokens. Has water, electric, sewage hookups, included. Has wifi, free guest level or premium level for an extra fee. Can buy firewood too. Has an empty field that you can play in. Each lot has a picnic table and fire ring. Only 4 miles away from shopping. About 30 minutes north of Pittsburgh, very convenient. We're truckers with a 40 ft. straight truck with an 8ft. RV sleeper, and we were so happy to find a place that would accomadate a "big rig." If you're a big rig, be sure to tell them your weight too, so they can see if the lot is hard enough/if it's rained recently, so you don't sink in mud. The lots are gravel atop raw ground. Also. if you're a big rig, you need to have shoreline electric hookup, since it needs to be quiet. Would recommend highly, and will return again!

This place was great. The views on the loop were magnificent. There will be a full video of the campground and other things to do on Dark Nest Travels YouTube. If you plan on camping here do not use Google maps or regular gps. We use a truckers gps. Follow the email instructions from the park. There are low wires and low clearance tunnels north of the park. Customer Service here was good. This is not a resort with mini golf, go-karts, or a playground. It's a scenic place to relax and enjoy the area near and around Pittsburgh.

Great campground, easy set up, every site is level and there are some amazing views once you are set up. Very nice and accommodating owners. I definitely will return next season.

good place to camp for the week or weekends. the views are great if you get along the side of the top. downside is their wifi will constantly kick you out. so if you come for a long term best just have your own wifi.

This campground is beautiful and very well maintained. The owners are very friendly and courteous. We had tire trouble on the way to the campground and they gave us recommendations and directions on where to get new tires in the area. They were very accommodating so we could spend an extra night there. Would definitely stay there again.

Extremely well-kept facilities. Beautiful location fulfilling its name with many campsites having views of the valley. Fields attract dozens of Killdeer. Lots of mourning doves goldfinches and other birds as well. The family running the campground is friendly and helpful. It is close to a great rail trail and has easy access to downtown Pittsburgh.

My family stayed here for two nights and loved it. The owners-Gary and Greg very very helpful and attentive during our stay. Very pretty location

Definitely for self-contained RVs! One (very nice) bathroom for any/everyonewithout a bathroom in your RV, coin operated shower ($2 for 7 minutes) to cover septic service, which makes sense, but be prepared with singles for tokens! We weren't, so we had to get creative with showering (wish we had known to bring more....) 🙂 Gorgeous scenery, and well maintained grounds. Very nice campground

We loved Mountain Top Campground. Getting to see the sunrise on one side of the campground and then the sunset on the other, this campground offers the quiet tranquil scenery. It did not get overly crowded with ample room from any other campers. The view from the outer sites will please many. What is also nice is how they have the seasonal campers on one side as those who stay for shorter time stay on the opposite side. The owners of the campground were great and hard working as they were making improvements for future campers. We highly recommend this campground and plan on returning there next year bringing along more people with us to experience the wondrous scenery that it has to offer.

Also The family that own and run the camp ground are very nice and friendly. I met Gary & Gregg very friendly and nice people. I would recommend and come back here.
