If you want to hike into a mountain paradise that gives you 4 acres to camp and play in, the bottom sites are exactly what you are looking for. The owner is awesome, won't make fun of you too much if he needs to drive you to the camp site since your car has no ground clearance and is an all-round interesting character. I am already itching to go back in two weeks. Wildlife, nature, seclusion, and an hour outside of Pittsburgh. PS - if you want showers and a pool, YOU ARE NOT LOOKING FOR A CAMPGROUND...

5 stars for the great and fun experience with the family, but 4 stars for the cabin we stayed in…read more Cabin - we stayed in Cabin 413. It has two bedrooms and each has two bunk beds. The size of the bunk beds were great! Mattress itself wasn't terrible, but wasn't comfy either (not a big deal at all). Each bedroom has one bathroom and shower. The sink is directly across from the bunk beds but the weird thing is that there used to be towel bar holders there - so no places to hang your wash clothes, hand towels etc. The kitchen is nice and has a gas stove, but this did not come with a stove light and fan. Another thing to note is that the deadbolt to the front door had no deadbolt - there was no bolt hub or bolt extension it was honestly the bolt face plate and thumb turn. Good thing the door knob locked with no issues The water park has 4 slides, a pirate water park, 2 pools(one pool had 2 basketball hoops) and arcade. Honestly I wouldn't waste the money in the arcade, but the water park and pools were great! The pool and water park were open from 1100-1900, we got there right when it opened and managed to have 4 lounge pool chairs. Definitely get there when it opens because as it gets later in the day it fills up quick! There were people laying in the grass because all the seats and tables were taken. The food was excellent! We got 20 wings, cheesesteak, grilled cheese, BLT, fries all around $40. The remainder of the time we spent there we cooked our food in the cabin kitchen and outdoor grill. I would recommend renting a golf cart. It's just easier to get around. We took the golf cart to a tractor ride, the playground right near the gate, mini golf, the ice cream shop, and overall was fun to just drive around and explore the campground. This was honestly the perfect small close getaway before the kids went back to school. Definitely enjoyed our stay here and will be back in the future - was heartbroken to see the damage that jellystone had due to the storm.

My family and I stayed this past weekend on the premium waterfront sites. We stayed in site 269…read morewhich had a nice view of the lake and the fire pit was moved to the back of the site right by the water which was nice as the other sites has them farther back away from the water. I think they should move them all back towards the water so their guests can the best of both worlds with the lake view and a nice fire. The fire pits were really big and I'm concrete rings which made it hard to feel the heat from the fire unless you made the fire really big. My family camped a few sites down and their picnic table was falling apart and notified the maintenance man and he later came and removed it and brought a replacement. It would appear based off other reviews their picnic table maintenance is lacking. The campground was pet friendly and had bags and trash areas throughout the campground. They also have a dog park area to let your dog run if they need to stretch those legs. The playground for the kids was nice by the office. However, the playground closest to the pull thru sites was wooden and falling apart sadly. It needs immediate attention before next season before a child gets hurt. The boards were lifting and screws/nails exposed. However, they had a bounce pillow that our kids loved ! Paddleboats, gem mining, etc for a fee. Our toddlers did enjoy the gem mining though, so if you have a couple it's worth splitting a bigger bucket of gem goodies to mine. The bathhouses were not the best, could def be cleaner and consistently had out of order stalls. I opted to shower in our camper this time due to their condition but to each their own. They had for Oktoberfest a distillery and a band/dj come to the pavilion area which really seemed to draw a good crowd! They have golf carts for rent, which were pretty nice in comparison to others we have rented. However, we noticed a tire on our was noticeably lower than the others and thankfully had an air compressor to fill it up. I would imagine that should be done prior to renting them out to avoid flats.. it all worked out though but something to be mindful of if you rent one! You can fish the lakes and catch/release. We did see several people catch catfish and blue gills, etc so it's worth your time if you like to fish! They do have a lot of seasonal sites but everyone seemed friendly as they were preparing for Halloween events coming up and decorating their sites. The biggest downside to our visit was the beautiful lake view site had a LOT of road noise as just on the other side of the trees was the main road. It is something you will hear all night long. It was a bummer but some may not mind it. We are going to be returning in 3 weeks for trick or treating as we found a last minute reservation .. they look like they really do it up for Halloween.

The kids did some fishing and swimming and lots of walking to and fro from the bathhouse! The staff were terrific, and very helpful and welcoming. A very nice place. As a side note, they did have a bit of bee issue, which is common this time of year.

The owners hide behind their faith and use it as a justification to treat people rudely. From the first point of contact, the woman spoke to us rudely, talking over my husband, and even yelling. They have many strict rules (some of which are extreme, like paying extra if you have over 3 people but can have no more than 6 people). The owner charged us twice for the extra people, then argued that she didn't, until we told her we had bank statements to prove it. The deer pen is really sad. The fence is falling down and in the pen, there are several falling down sheds, the pen itself is small. The pool is not heated (and if you have child that is not potty trained, or a child that wears swimmy diapers, they are prohibited to swim), the playground is subpar, and the grounds are run down. Go somewhere else, where your money is appreciated because you will be paying a lot for nothing.

Overall: A good, casual campground with clean cabins and decent amenities…read more We recently stayed at Benner's Meadow Run Campground for the Labor Day weekend and had a good overall experience. We stayed in Turkey Cabin 1, which was clean and adequate for two adults and two children. The full-size refrigerator was a nice feature and gave us plenty of room for food and drinks. One thing to be aware of is that the cabin photos on the website can be a little misleading. They may give the impression that Turkey Cabin 1 has a separate bedroom, but the main bed is actually in the living area. Our friends stayed in the Grouse House, which did have a small separate bedroom. So, if having a separate bedroom is important to you, make sure you confirm the cabin layout before booking. The stairs leading to the loft are another thing worth mentioning. They have very shallow steps and a fairly aggressive incline and, in my opinion, are not built to normal building-code standards. Thankfully, we had no issues with our two 11-year-olds using them, but I would definitely be more cautious with younger children or anyone who has difficulty with stairs. The campground store was convenient, but I think it could be stocked with more basic necessities such as milk, butter and similar items. It did have many of the typical camping essentials, including items like batteries and other supplies, so it was still useful to have on site. We rented a golf cart, which was definitely worthwhile. The electric cart had surprisingly good power and handled the campground's stone roadways very well. It was a convenient way to get around the grounds. The pool was clean and well maintained. As someone who owns a pool, I pay attention to water quality, and the pool appeared to be fresh and properly maintained from a chemical-balance standpoint. The biggest disappointment for us was the fishing. We were there over Labor Day weekend, and the fishing was very, very slow. The larger lower lake appeared to have more activity and life than some of the other areas, but we saw very few fish being caught aside from a handful of bluegill. If fishing is going to be a major part of your camping trip, I would keep expectations modest. Overall, I would recommend Benner's Meadow Run Campground for people looking for a casual camping experience with clean grounds, decent amenities, golf-cart access and some activities over holiday weekends. It isn't a luxury camping experience, but it provides a comfortable enough setting for a family camping trip, especially if you go in knowing what to expect from the cabins and fishing. Last concern about the cabin was that the hot water lasted maybe 2 minutes. Dreadful. Use the shower houses if you require more time like most do.

It's definitely a place we would return to! Thanks Benners!
