Southwestern Pennsylvania Rally? - Event Date: 18 Jul 2014 - 20 Jul 2014

Oops! Those electric only sites in the circle are not "pet friendly". To get "pet friendly" sites we will have to reserve sites that are more expensive, and in a different part of the park. Some of the sites have 50 amp service, and some (across the road) do not have electric at all. We are planning to check out the sites tomorrow, but there is about 12" of snow to wade through, as the road is blocked. Does not look promising, more details later.

I would be there but that's in the middle of our next big trip.  I hope you get a good crowd!

Some RV parks give discounts to groups.. It looks like there are quite a few around Uniontown..

Yeah, you're right Furpod, a fifteen percent discount is offered if you take enough sites, the problem is, considering the amenities available, the base fee is just too high to begin with.

For instance, the state campground, with no water, no electric, before discount, (and various "add ons") was $50 for two days, in sites that were, to us, completely unacceptable. Over the phone, we were quoted an "add on" for pets in a designated "pet site"! Only about one half of the campground was open to four footed campers!

The private campgrounds, like River's Edge KOA, were more expensive, ($48-$53 per day, with the discount) and resembled a dirt parking lot with just a few trees randomly scattered throughout. Apparently, in KOA parlance, "wooded sites" means you can SEE trees from it. There were some sites with big trees by the river, but they were full hook-ups in the $60 range and there were only a few.

Some of the nicest sounding private campgrounds in the area are tents only so they didn't have dump stations or electric. Some were simply not acceptable, old, run down, or poorly maintained. One had pit toilets and no showers. Others are just too far away from most of the area's attractions, such as the campgrounds in West Virginia and further north in Somerset county.

We found out most of the drawbacks when we called to inquire about specific sites. Our two days left us frustrated, we would have been embarrassed to have you come to those campgrounds we found. But we'll keep looking, maybe we'll find something acceptable for 2015.
