Rating: 9 9 6 8 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park is divided into two parts. One part for mostly seasonal and the other for short term transients. You use the facilities of the seasonal such as the pool, laundry, and showers. The park was well maintained and pleasing to the eye. The is very serious speed bumps in this park. Nice they have handicap showers (not often seen by us), The handicap shower has no lip to get into. The other showers worked well and were very clean but small. The sinks would dispense water so long as one pressed on it. Site: They will escort you to the site and were quite helpful. Sites were a little drop off the road and could have been more level. Site are set up a side-by-side and connections at the back of the site, and for us on the wrong side. We needed an extra-long coax for cable TTV, and an extra hose for water. Cable and OTA worked well. You pay a little extra for 50 AMP (we didn't have.) The speed bumps going into the campground need to be taken most slowly. The facilities pool/showers and grounds are very well maintained. The park offers activities and entertainment that we found to be very good. - KevinIrish
Stayed at Buttercup over a long weekend while one of my kids had an event near Cranberry, PA. Conveniently located close to Pittsburgh with only a short drive which is why we even tried this CG. Checkin was a breeze. Staff was very friendly. They had an Xmas is July party where gifts were handed out to children if you supplied the gift. My 6y/o is still confused why Santa was here in July and brought a gift for her. Pool was nice and not over crowded but there was a chill in the air with mild temps during our stay. Campground is primarily seasonal. Nightly spots are separated from seasonal and sort of in a field. There is a large field near nightly for kids or activities with a playground on the other end. Since separated from seasonals no golf carts flying by. It was pretty quiet at night. My only knock on the place is sites are grassy. No carpets so dirt and debris was tracked inside. Sunken ground from repeated use however made our spot almost level. Only needed one lynx leveling block. We were in a corner spot and due to how hookups are set up they informed me they will not fill the spots on either side of us. They told me to park my truck in spot behind us. Was 25 ft from water hookup so I barely made it using 1 water hose but I had more just in case. If they would've filled space behind us our hookups would've been basically under their canopy. Wouldn't have been a problem though if we were with a group. I see why they don't fill those 2 spots and I'm glad they don't force people into them. I credit the CG for that. Spots are big enough and not crammed in. Wife said restrooms near pool and office/store are clean and nice. - Newman252
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Buttercup Woodlands Campground »Is geared towards seasonals. They have over 200 seasonal sites and about 15-20 visitor sites. Owner is very nice and personally escorted us and helped us park. It was reasonably close to Pittsburgh and we were visiting family, that's why we chose it. When we pulled up we stopped at a gate to enter the park, we were told to back up and go up a dirt path to the visitor sites. The seasonal sites are behind a gate and surrounded by a fence. We felt like an afterthought and an outcast. For the weekend it was us and maybe 4 other RV's, but they parked us all close together. The sites are laid out oddly, the electric and water hookups are on the opposite than most other campgrounds and we had to run the hoses across our site. The sewer hookup for the next site was super close to our picnic table and fire pit (like within 6 feet) The sites were very narrow, we could not fit out truck in front of the site, even perpendicular. The neighbors had a fire and they were so close I was afraid of our tanks exploding. We asked permission to receive mail there and they allowed it but didn't notify us that anything arrived and seemed annoyed when we asked. The restrooms were clean, we had to walk quite a ways around a building or else jump the fence and walk through the seasonal side. Lots of options for the area, we probably wont stay here again. Price was comparable to others. - sbrigga315

Rating: 7 4 2 1 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed here for 2+ weeks. We have stayed at this park for the past three years while visiting our family. We basically park our rig, leave the campground, and stay with our family. We usually bring the grands back to the park for several days so they can enjoy the great pool here. We stay in the transient area and these sites are very close to each other. Our awning, when extended, almost touched the rig next to us. When you sit outside, under the awning, your chairs are close to the electric box and sewer hook up of the rig next to us. We were in a pull thru site and it was level. - Twirlybird
We arrived on Saturday afternoon and left on Wednesday morning. They quoted $46 per night over the phone and told us that it would be $50 per night when we arrived. They said that they didn't know we had a large camper. That was not accurate because I always tell campgrounds what I have to ensure they have a site long enough. At $50 per night you would expect a lot more. There is no cable and no wi-fi. When we asked about cable they told us that for $50 we could get a cable box to get cable then when we return the box they would give us our money back. All travel pads are gravel. The campers are right on top of each other and in the double lots (Where they put the big rigs) you walk out your door to look at the door of the camper next to you. When we extended our awnings they were just a few inches away from our neighbors awning. They only allow 2 adults and 2 children under the age of 18 per campsite. All others are considered to be guests and you have to pay $3 for each day and $5 for overnight per person so for large families this could cost a fortune. The showers have the push button 30 second water supply which means hitting the button every 30 seconds. There has to be a better way to prevent excessive water usage. There was a sign on the shower stalls saying that they were going to renovate the showers this summer. I wonder if they put those signs up there each spring, its almost fall and the showers were not renovated. They were a mess and had spider webs in them. There is never anyone in the office. If you need anything you have to call someone and wait for them to go down to the office. They do not allow mats to be used. The owner tried to get me to park so far forward on the lot that the front of the camper was going to be sticking out in the road. I finally parked it back far enough to be out of the road. - buckeyetaz

The campers are so close, that our awning touched the neighbor. Said there was a fire pit and picnic table for each site. We did not have a picnic table. And be careful when using fire pit. Was afraid of setting something on fire, because everything was so close together. And good luck if you need anything, there is never anyone in office. And when you call they just get annoyed. First and last trip to this campground!!!! - Disappointed camper 2

Rating: 8 4 9 4 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: A well-named campground! It is located on a flat spot on top of a mountain. That gives it great views of the valley. Gravel back-in spots around the edge of the campground with pull-throughs in the center. Sites are gravel surrounded by grass that gets soggy and soft in the rain. The road to the campground is a little bumpy and curvey, but no problem to navigate. You can ignore the warning on their website that says Exit 14 (Bull Creek Road ) is closed. It is open. They provide a hose with a sewer connector to drain gray water down the side of the mountain and provide free honeypot service on Wednesdays. The restrooms/showers were closed for the winter so you have to use the residential bathroom in the basement of the caretaker's house. There is also a single washer and dryer in the basement. Friendly, helpful staff. Convenient location to see the sights in Pittsburgh and close to shopping. - Chuck Shrader
Traveling in a 38 foot coach we stayed 5 nights in a site for big rigs during the rainy season. We were in the back of the park and had a beautiful cliff view, but it was so not worth it! The site was a mud pit (no gravel). We were stressing over our back four tires sinking deeper and deeper. They do have a couple sites that had fresh-gravel (in the center of the park but with no view. I wouldn't recommend staying on the outside-loop if you plan on being there in rainy conditions. Do not stay in the back if it's going to rain until they re-gravel those sites. The park is flat so it looked like most of the sites were level. Our satellite worked great here. The management is very nice and the park is located in a quiet area. If you have a dog there's ample area to walk your pet. On a side note: Today we live in the age of wifi technology and there is nothing to stop this RV park from investing in doing wifi properly. For some users (such as ourselves) wifi is an important feature. - JDC10
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Mountain Top Bluegrass Festival & Campground »I must say that of all the campgrounds we have stayed in over the past 5 years, Mountain Top had the best scenic views, without question. Even though we had some damp weather, sitting at the picnic table in the evenings, watching the sun set over the horizon was the highlight of the day. Now the blueprint. The CG is not convenient to the major highways, but sleeping at night with the windows open and without the constant drone of trucks on an Interstate highway was very peaceful. The local roads are not the best, a little hilly with lots of turns, and the driveway to the CG is mostly gravel, but we had no problems getting there or departing. There is no bathhouse and most of the sites do not have sewer, but there is a dump station which was not an issue getting to or using. In fact, the CG has a sewer hose attached to the dump station so all I needed was my clear sleeve to watch the flow...no fuss, no muss. It appears from signs posted at the office that a bathhouse is planned for the 2019 season, as is Wi-Fi. There are no activities or swimming pool, so the few children we saw were riding their bikes. As the CG is on the top of a flat hill, the sites with trees and shade are the ones they call the rim sites, which are around the outside perimeter, and are gravel and very level. The sites in the middle of the field have no trees or shade, but for those who need satellite reception, they will work. I must admit that the two nights we spent here on our way west were quite nice and if in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to stay here. - Love To Travel 2

Rating: 1 1 9 5 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Pool is clearly not heated and owner said if you don't like it take it or leave it. WiFi doesn't work at all but is supposedly newer. Playground is older, arcade broken, no crafts offered for kids, prices for what is here is laughable. Owners refuse to hear complaint and refuse to upgrade. This place has gone downhill. Electric was shot too, for what they charge with all these campers that are seasonal they can afford to heat the pool. Most of staff are teenagers who really don't care. Tent sites are on hill. This is a campground for people without children at best because management basically only tolerated children. Comparable facilities in area, and this place I would say is not competitive with other campgrounds. Most of the grass is muddy. The power fuse blew twice in a not busy weekend and was nowhere near limit. Owner irritated he had to come fix it. - Jan02243
The pictures on their site are deceiving . We thought that it looked like a wonderful place to stay...Started off bad right from the beginning. We booked early enough to get a better spot.. Were told that there were lots of spots available at the time. When we got there we had only a choice of 3 sites ( none any better ) We were told that others had been booked before us ( not true as we asked 5 campers that had good sites & they said they booked only a day or two early to get theirs, plus they were only staying for the weekend (so their spots were left empty the rest of the week.) We had a whole week to stay in our terrible spot.. So un- level that we had to go in and out of our unit via 3 huge blocks to our step which rocked back and forth making it very dangerous for us at our age. Awful brown water ( no different than their other sites though ) coming from a broken faucet that kept dripping enough to cause a mud hole close to our unit. Bathroom was filthy, paid for shower and it still didn't work. Commodes always filled with poop & paper because they didn't flush right. Pay showers that didn't work ( just dripped ) after you wasted the quarters. Dish washing basin filthy as well and I cleaned it each day. I did more cleaning there than they did just to use the facility . Believe me if we hadn't been there with a pop-up camper that was hard to take down and set up, we would have left after the first day. We told management ( both brothers and employees inside the store) , and they were suppose to come and speak to us...Felt they should have at least reimbursed us for the cleaning supplies I had to purchase at their store. We were told that one of the managers would speak to us the day we were packing up to leave....No where were they to be found! We have camped for 50 years and this was one of the worst places and lots more expensive than most others. Paid a high price to spend a lousy week there. - Linda1221

Rating: 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Breakneck Campground »Breakneck Campground is an oddball place. Tents only - you could get a class B+, tiny trailer, or small class C in. The campground is part of a group of businesses run by the Cheeseman family. The family doesn't have any other staff or seem to be business minded. You come into the campground and there is no registration office or sign on how to register or pay. I figured out that the sites are first-come, first-served. Eventually, the owner may come around to get paid. Maybe. Or just hang around the house waiting for someone to come out. He really needs a sign. You can try to call, you might get an answer or return call. There is a small bath house by the house. One men's and one women's shower. The quality and condition of the bath house is that of a low-end state park facility, but there is hot water. The tent deck sites are really neat! - kanling

Rating: 9 5 7 6 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed here several times. The owner was very accommodating. Although this is an older campground we found seasonals we made acquaintance with, and were very helpful in our travels. It is peaceful and relaxing location. We had a full service site and utilities worked well. We were in a 30 foot motorhome and it was very easy to maneuver within the park. There is no park store for amenities so come prepared. Overall our multiple stays were consistent and was able to relax and enjoy our rest. - Art Goldsmith
We stayed here for several nights while visiting friends in the area, and we needed full hookups after dry camping for a few days before. The campground is mostly populated by seasonal campers, and the owner was quite friendly when he greeted us. But overall the campground can best be described as shabby. The view behind our RV was a field of rubble across the street. The site was gravel, but surrounded with mud. The front view was of well-past-their-prime motorhomes set up for seasonal camping. Tight curves on the interior roads. A good place to stop on the way somewhere else. - Miles and Smiles
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Harts Content Campground »This was an overnight stay for us on an extended trip NW. The site was level but very wet due to much rain. Roads to the campground are rural, narrow, steep hills and sharp curves. Not recommended for larger RV's (ours is 32 foot). Friendly seasonals and staff. Store/office not open during our stay. Watch the signs and LOOK for park entrance sign before pulling into unknown unpaved roadways. - Forest Woods

Rating: 9 6 2 5 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is more of a very popular destination-family park than an overnight. The park is well managed with many seasonals and lots of activities on the weekend. Most sites are tight, level, shaded and short. Good dog park, nice swimming pool, playground, and store. We were there over Labor Day Weekend and the place was packed with happy, well-behaved families. Water pressure and electricity were good in spite of the crowd; WiFi bogged down. No cable. No OTA and our Verizon hot spot didn't work - but the bands on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights were terrific! (Big shout out here to the Manhattan Band: you folks were FABULOUS!) On Sunday there was a marathon bocce ball tournament that lasted for more than 12 hours. This is a "make some memories" park. If ever in the area - and we can get in - we will stay there again. - Mom_of_Two
Sites are tight, but site 20 was ample for our 42'. Trees toward the back of our site still allowed us to use our satellite. The pool was nice, had one foot deep shallow end up to five foot at its deepest. Quite a few seasonals, well taken care of. Decent playground as well. We also rented the deluxe family cabin, site
79, complaints about the comfort of the beds. A/C could be a little better as well. Overall this campground isn't bad, just tight. - User3025View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Rose Point Park Cabins and Camping »We camped with 2 other families and all were disappointed. No shade and sites were very short and small. Could hardly open awning or slideout. Only 30 amp electric and had a very hot weekend afraid we would lose our service. Permanent campers not friendly with weekenders. No chairs available at pool to sit, permanent residents go early and put towels on chairs and some go unused for hours but don't remove a towel or you are yelled at and towel goes back on. Campground has not kept up with the times. Really needs updating especially for pull-in sites. Also bathouse and showers could use a make-over. We have removed Rosepoint from our camping list. Will not be returning. Also fire rings were at backbumper of trailer could not use or trailer would have caught fire. - Winpooh
