It would be a good campground for tent campers, except for the highway noise. If your rig is not a very short trailer I don't recommend coming here as the roads in are narrow and hilly, the entire campground is VERY steep. It is not for the faint of heart. We used all of our leveling blocks and couldn't get level. The owner must not have much pride as look at the condition of te flags. They need to be properly retired. Please take them down to your local American Legion post where the veterans will take care of them!!!!!!!!!

1. Road to campsites is so rough, needs work. 2. Bathrooms were not cleaned over the days we were there. 3. Sites are so small. We were glad the campground was not full. 4. Road noise is terrible! 5. Bathroom door does not close easily. It was never closed all the way-- so why the code? Lack of security.

Nice KOA with friendly service and a convenient location close to the highway and Pittsburgh area. The sites and amenities were good overall, though a few sites could use some clean up and updating. Great spot for a short stay or passing through, and we’d stay again.

This KOA is hard to get into with a bigger rig. The roads leading into it are narrow, windy and partially gravel. There's a huge hill with a turn to get up to where the campers go. You can also hear a ton of road noise. The dog area was nice though!

Just passing through for one night. Very windy roads getting here and like straight uphill to get to the office! We were greeted with helpful and friendly faces. We were traveling with a 42' fifth wheel and a 36" class A towing a boat. We both fit just fine into our pull thru sites. Utilities were conveniently located, and lots of TV stations. The grass hadn't been cut, but it's been raining for days, so I'm guessing there just hasn't been an opportunity. A really good pizza place delivers directly to your site. I can only review on the amenities I used during my one night stay, no complaints from us!
