My wife and I stayed at this campground for 3 nights. This KOA was a good size with a good mix of seasonal and reservation sites. This KOA had everything. Good, fairly level sites. Great internet. Cable TV for those rainy days. Two pools. Fully stocked gift shop with a good mix of merchandise. Onsite ice cream shop and a good menu of food items reasonably priced keeping in mind this is a campground. Some newer patio sites lining overlooking a river view. Cabins, tent camping, RV camping, and a rent home on the property make this a location everyone could like. The Allegheny Bike Trail running right through the campground gives walkers, runners, and bikers easy access to a beautiful and safe area to exercise. There is also an opportunity to rent kayaks to use on the river. It was a bit pricy, but with all the available stuff it made it worth it. They also had loads of exceptional staff onsite. The only thing I did not realize was the train that past back and forth on the other side of the river. It took a night to get used to, so it wasn't horrible. All in all, a great campground and experience.

We had a great time staying at the cabin. We had 2 adults, 2 kids, and our dog. The cabin was very nice and we were all comfortable. No complaints. We floated down the river, they had no driver so we did have to leave our vehicle down at Yough Park and go back and get it. Took about 4 hours from Yough Park to the KOA. We used tubes that we brought. The store at KOA does have boats and tubes available to buy or rent. The pool was very nice and clean. We also rented a golf cart and the kids loved that. The campground is very quiet. We used the bike trial, which is always great. The food was great and the ice cream was even better. Our only complaint would be a food order we had that went wrong. I won't go into full detail but it took us 1 hour and 18 minutes to get 1 pizza. I understand mistakes happen but the lady I spoke with was very rude. She didn't even apologize. She grabbed the frozen pizza, said do you still want me to make it or not? At this point we already waited over an hour so yes we wanted the pizza. Even the other guests waiting for their food was a little shocked, but hey we all have bad days, but an apology would've been nice. Back to the review. The bathrooms outside near the pool are clean. Single showers are available. The laundry room is nice and clean. We highly recommend staying here. You can pop a tent, you can bring your camper, and there are many cabins available to rent. The grills at the cabin are already there, they are gas grills and they supply the propane, which is great! Firepits are also at every spot, just don't forget to bring wood. Any other questions feel free to ask. I should also add that sheets, pillows, and blankets were provided in clean totes that you see in the photos.

My favorite campground! The food is great, the employees are upbeat helpful folk and it's right on the GAP bike trail. But beware there is no Verizon reception without a signal booster. Update: we're back and They fixed the wifi!!! Now my boy can watch his favorite shows again. Love it here!
