Pittsburgh Parks

You will be camping next door to this state park... Beautiful place and a great place to meet family for a picnic and outdoor activities.. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/findapark/mcconnellsmill/#picnicking

UPDATE

Well, we settled on Rose Point Park Campground in Newcastle. Look like large sites and it's just 35 minutes from Pittsburgh. Thanks, again.

Hey, guys. OP here. Thanks very much for all of these suggestions. My wife is researching them now. Several good possibilities. Of course, there's always the fallback of cbshoestring's grassy area which I understand is ours for a bottle of Kalua and a six pack of Bud. Thanks again to all.

I kinda joked that I could fit a few RV's on the empty lots I own next to the house. I keep reading all these posts about people doing meetings in PGH and I may have to run a water hose and an extension cord to the far side of the lot. Only 9 miles to Pittsbugh...maybe I should take out the garden as well, that would be atleast one more spot.

What is the going rate for a no services---level grassy spot :h

Hey, why not put in a couple of 50 amp pedestals, a water connection and you could get $65 a night as you are so close to Pittsburgh.

Just a thought. :)

I think that both places would be safe. These places are not in crime areas and there is always someone around..

There's a KOA in Washington that's not bad and about 38 miles from the Pitt airport.... KOA

Besides Rose Point, Big Bear camp ground Portersville, Pa Near Moraine State Park, there is Indian Brave Rv Camp ground Zelienople-Harmony. That one would be the closest to Pittsburgh, about 20 mins 79 to 279 and your there.

Rose Point is a nice place. It is right off I-79 and is a 35 minute drive to Pittsburgh.. Here is their website http://rosepointpark.com/rates_reservations.htm Also there is a Yogi Bear campground about 1 hour north of Pittsburgh. I have been to this one and it is a nice clean park out in the country with a lot of ammeneties and quiet camping.. http://pittsburghjellystone.com/

Which place do you think would be best to leave our coach as I have a meeting in Pittsburg and will be staying in a hotel. I just need a safe place to store the coach for about 5 days. Would you chose Rose Point or Jellystone?

Thanks,
MM.
