We are thrilled to welcome you to our updated home in the heart of the scenic Allegheny River region. Our campground is open seasonally from April 1st through October 31st, offering a friendly atmosphere and beautiful views for your next getaway. Nestled just off I-80, we serve as the perfect gateway to the charming towns of Emlenton and Foxburg. Whether you're passing through for a night or settling in for an extended stay, you'll find that our Campground is more than just a place to park—it's a community where memories are made.

Choose Your Perfect Way to Stay

We know that every camper has a unique style, which is why we offer diverse camping sites designed for comfort. As a premier RV campground, we've tailored our RV sites to accommodate everyone from weekend explorers to veteran big-rig travelers. You can enjoy:

  • Friendly, accessible pull-thru sites that make setup a breeze.
  • Full hookups that provide all the comforts of home.
  • The peace and quiet of the surrounding forest.

If you're traveling without a rig, we also offer traditional tent camping spots for those who want the classic camping experience of sleeping under the stars and waking up to the sound of birds.

Small Town Charm and Big Adventures

What truly sets us apart is our location. We are just a stone's throw from the Allegheny River, a haven for those who love to kayak, fish, or simply watch the water flow by.
But that's not all! While you're here, be sure to visit:

  • The Emlenton Bridge: The highest road bridge in Pennsylvania.
  • Foxburg Wine Country: Enjoy tastings and dining just a short drive away.
  • North Lake & State Game Lands: Perfect for wildlife viewing and trailblazing.
