Tire at the playground
Nikita H.

This was a nice peaceful place they had a pool Which my kids loved playing in that also had a park but you have to be 10 and under they also had a sandbox where my kids where if they weren't in the pool. That also have a decent spot for your dogs to use the restroom and play at they even had a little walking trail for the dogs it was pretty. They people were very nice and friendly. The only real issue I had was the roads getting there but that's not their fault. The roads there are narrow and winding. But we made it just fine and we enjoyed our stay we would definitely stay here again.

Southwest Pittsburgh KOA

We have been traveling across the country from Texas to Utah and then Utah to Pennsylvania and we have stayed at mostly KOA's and this KOA was the worst of the worst, bad bathrooms with only 1 shower curtain and no privacy. This park also wins the award for most unlevel sites. You do have to go down a very narrow winding road through a neighborhood to get to this park, it looks like it's right off the highway but it is not. Also, the road noise will probably keep you up most of the night. We stayed here for one night and then moved to the south east Pittsburgh KOA which is much much better.

Can you see the A-frame office and interstate down the hill :)
Kari W.

We resrved and paid online. Stayed 4-8. The store was closed and our papers with map and site were in the box, yay! The road up was steep and bumpy to turn around and go down to our site. Site was level enough to not unhook. The water standpipe and pump were plugged in and insulated for us. Being MN nice I pulled out the KOA map to direct a local pizza delivery drive to the correct site :) Pet friendly! The store was a steep walk or many steps down. Freeway noise and vibrations I barely noticed.

As you can see all tent sale sites are on a slope. Annoying to sleep on a hill but we managed.
Jon S.

This place was average at best. They put my campsite on a slope which sucked. It's hard to set up your tent on an incline and sleeping on a hill is even worse because my mattress would slide down during the night

Our camping area - next to a pile of fire rings and picnic tables pushed together... behind the pavilion with the lights on all night.

We generally will go the extra few miles for a KOA, but this one wasn't worth it. Nearly impossible to navigate in a motor home.

Free campground! I…read morewas a little skeptical when hearing there was a free campground in this state forest but the reviews seemed really good so we decided to make it a stop on our way to West Virginia. The road to get to the campground was winding and very dark but when we arrived we saw a beautiful campground with paved spots. There are no amenities with only a vault toilet and water pump. Still the sites were nice and large. You pass several shooting ranges on the way to the campground. There is also a trail that loops around the campground.

This site is free! Hidden Hollow, in Fernwood State Forest, is one of three free Ohio campgrounds…read morewithin a half hour drive. Here are trash bins, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site, plus a well-blazed trail edging the campground. There are pit toilets in the center of the ring that do smell like free campground pit toilets, but they are far enough from the campsites that you'll be okay even on a hot summer day, especially if you're a ping with a self-contained unit. Our site had a great mix of field and tree cover with raspberries or other bramble fruits lining the campground. Hummingbirds, cardinals, nuthatches, and a concert of fireflies were fun to watch. The free part is especially good since there are pigeon, rifle, and handgun target ranges outside the camp loop, and you do hear them even on a Monday. And first thing Tuesday morning. This is a dry campground in every way so bring your own water. If you aren't target practicing, use your red cup and don't act like a rookie. About half the sites were in use the Monday night we stayed. Despite the ballistic sounds, the camp loop was quiet, and we had a very restful stay.

The bathrooms are close by the camp sites and clean! Plus they have hot water for showering. The water pump for drinking water is fresh and better than my tap at home. The lake is so nice and the ice cream stand is the best (bring cash). Definitely recommend booking the camp sites closest to the trail that takes you to the beach. It's about a 15 minute hike, but so much nicer than driving 15 minutes to the beach.

The…read moreonly negative I've encountered in this park is an angry, abrasive and unprofessional park ranger. I've been visiting this place for years and had met many kind, friendly and helpful fellow visitors. I cannot say the same for that ranger - I hope y'all never come across her in your effort to find clarity on directions. My favorite areas of Raccoon Creek are the beach and the mineral springs. When the area water levels aren't low, you'll also see a beautiful 10 foot waterfall adjacent to Frankfort Mineral Springs. The beach is lovely in all seasons, but if you can catch it during the peak of Fall foliage. The many colors of the trees reflecting from the lake surface is quite the sight! There's a boat rental and the rates are very reasonable. There's also a very large picnic area with dozens of tables, plenty of parking and restrooms.

My Veteran husband is an above the knee amputee and we also have a non-verbal adult child and I am the sole caregiver to both. I booked on the premise that the cabin was fully handicapped accessible given the description , ramp, lowered counters, accessible shower with bench and grab bars. I also rented a golf cart for the stay to accommodate my husbands disability. First when we arrived , we didn't take the golf cart to our cabin the wheelchair was extremely hard to push through the gravel (parking spot) to even get onto the sidewalk , his wheelchair was sinking into and pushing the rocks, once we made it onto the porch ,my husband opened the door but could not get inside because their wasn't enough space between the counter and the futon so he was suck in the doorway so I had to push the futon up to where the arm was pushed up against the loft latter ,thankfully my son didn't want to sleep in the loft. The lowered countertops wasn't accessible because he could not get his wheelchair under the counters to use the sink or eat at the counter table area and my husband has a custom wheelchair that it's sole purpose is to make it even more accessible like lower armrest and back ,slim design for his 130 lb frame at 5ft 6" tall , I mention his size so anyone reading this know it wasn't his size that made things difficult. A standard wheelchair or someone taller or a bit larger would be impossible to maneuver in this space. The bathroom has a bench with grab bars but has a 3"and a 6" shower threshold, I am assuming 6" but I didn't measure so a conservative 3". 3" to 6" inches on a shower threshold is impossible for most people with physical disabilities but might be ok if the shower was larger where someone could use a walker to get inside. So he was 2 nights un-showered because it was useless for him. The cabin area is mostly gravel. The picnic tables, fire pit ,grill and driveway is completely graveled making the use of his wheelchair, and walker useless to a point. My husband tried to make it anyway even though he struggled tremendously with both assisted device ,the walker was the most risky because a fall for an amputee means more surgeries and loss of life in some situation. My husband is an above knee amputee because of fall. He mostly used the wheelchair outside and just fought with it to minimize the risk of injury. He was forced into his walker indoors because he couldn't use any of the accommodations that Austin lake advertised as handicap accessible. We did get the golf cart and he rarely used it because it was very hard for my husband to maneuver inside the cabin and cabin area and he prioritized spending time with his family and any activities would have worn him out since he had to expend so much energy just at the cabin. Just a further note , we did absolutely no activities that were offered ,we stayed at the cabin and only went out to get my son ice cream or wood daily because my husband could only be left alone for a short time because of the not so accommodating accommodations. Like I said we checked out 2 days early ,I didn't ask for a refund but told the front desk that it was because of it not being accessible which I also said it wasn't her fault. My expectation was to have a conversation about handicap accessibility with someone. Here is the kicker!!! The front desk had to call someone I think she said Marcy ,Marsha or someone similar to that name because the computer wanted to issue a full refund ,I figured that's great I was going to get that conversation I wanted and a refund on my 2 days. The front desk called and walked away so I couldn't hear what was being said and she gets off the phone and says your checked out. I still didn't think much about her walking away out of earshot at the time and just figured someone would call, e-mail or something but instead I got an e-mail saying I checked out. I didn't inform my husband about the front desk situation mosty because my husband is a honorable man and it's never been about money for him , it's always about the people/disabled effected by accommodations that wasn't received and he was dismissed as if he didn't matter. If a simple conversation happened even without a refund on our 2 days ,I would have never wrote this. I will be posting this review on several sites so the handicap community is aware. Thank you

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.

They said they wouldn't open the snow tubing because it was gonna rain but there was not a cloud in the sky that day. The spots are nice and so was the staff. The restaurant was apparently only open on weekends and when it was the weekend we ordered a pizza and it was burnt. There was fun Easter activities to do while we went such as, candy bar bingo, cookie decorating, and Easter egg hunt. This place would probably have been a 4.5 if anything was open and the food wasn't burnt. Overall I would say go here during the summer to have the best possible experience.
