Mountain Top RV Campground — Local services in Fawn Township

This was more of an experiment staying at Mountain Top as we live ten minutes away. We have two very young golden retrievers and this was their first camping trip. I would say it went "alright" but one of them was bladder shy and both of them barked at other dogs. We also discovered that you simply cannot travel comfortably with two larger dogs and two children in a truck. Luckily, again, this was a ten minute ride to and from home. Ok, on to the campground. The road in is a little treacherous, thin at times and a slightly stew winding incline on the way in. There are signs, so it was easy to find. Once there, drive slow as they seem to apply new limestone often on the driveway...quite dusty. The staff (who presumably live on site) are all very friendly and helpful. Greg helped me back into my spot and then explained the entire site and park to us. We had a "rim" site with a view, 30A electric, water (shared via a splitter with the neighbor), and a gray water dump hose. Have to empty your black tanks at the dump station (also tricky to traverse with a longer rig). It's not a very large campground by any means and there really isn't anything to do but the view from the back of the site was breathtaking for western PA. There is a fire ring and picnic table at the site with about 20' between sites. Gravel parking pad with grass picnic area. Our site was level but we did see some others that had more stabilizer blocks on one side than the other. Almost everyone there had dogs and they were all on leashes from what I could see. There is a free bathroom, pay shower and pay laundry, fire wood and ice for sale as well. Large field with music stage and disc golf area but that is the extent of "activities." This is a great spot for people in need of a place to "sleep" for a couple of nights either on their way through Pittsburgh or with plans for things to do in or around Pittsburgh. Great spot for quiet and peaceful bird-watching. Would recommend. We camped at Mountain Top Bluegrass Festival & Campground in a Travel Trailer.

(UPDATE): As of April, 2022, they've added sewage to a few of their sites. This was a welcome add as we didn't have to use the dump station that was quite treacherous to approach. It's possible, but tight between trees around a corner. Service was top notch, yet again! Stayed for two nights in April in our 40'...

My wife and I were slated to spend four days at Mountaintop RV Campsite, Tarentum PA in late April 2022. On the second day we were there, we received word from Boston MA that my sister was in distress. She had an elective heart procedure that went wrong, resulting in emergency open heart surgery; at the time of the call, we weren’t sure if she would live or die. This was on a Wednesday. I contacted the owners to feel out our options. They were SO GREAT! We arranged to leave our motor home with them in a vacant lot and drive to Boston in our tow-behind car on Thursday. We thought we’d be back on Sunday or Monday after spending the weekend. How wrong we were! We drove all day (12 hours) Thursday and got to see my sister on Friday. She was alive, thankfully no funeral this trip. As the days passed, we realized that she was going to need more care than we originally thought or that our other sisters in Boston could provide, at least initially… not that we had any idea what we were all in for. She left the hospital and went to my sister’s house on Monday, where my wife and I were staying. I called back to the campsite and told them of our situation, asked if it were possible for us to stay through the end of that week. Again, they were so great, said we could. As the week passed, we were able to take care of her while my other sisters and her daughter worked. We formulated our plan, called the campsite again, and asked if we could stay through the weekend. They immediately said yes. We finally headed back to the campsite on Sunday, calling them along the way. We used Monday to unwind a bit, and repack things, and then left on Tuesday. Our 4 night stay turned into a 15 night stay (mostly by our motor home!). Gary, Cathy, and Greg were all so WONDERFUL! We highly recommend them and the Mountaintop RV Campsite. We will surely stay with them the next time we are in the...

I’ve been full-timing in an RV for the last three months (out of New York originally). I came to this area because my daughter was moving into Pittsburgh University and this was the closest place I could find (40 minutes) since I was here to help settle her in. Originally I spoke to Gary, who was incredible. He was so nice and informative and I went with it right away and booked it because of his customer service. When I came here, Gary helped me find my site, helped me back in, etc. It was just a really nice experience with him. As far as the actual park, again, I haven’t full-timed in my RV for long as of yet, but I can say this is the absolute quietest, cleanest, and well-maintained RV park I have been to thus far. They have a laundromat and sell wood and ice as a convenience. Even more importantly, they have GREAT WiFi. Super fast for streaming day or night. This I know for a fact is rare, but they did it. The grounds are very open and free from tree cover. I have StarLink and intended to use that, however I kept it packed away cause it’s not needed…the WiFi is awesome here and free. As I write this review, I’m sitting outside around dinner time, and all I hear is crickets. Although there are many RVs here, it’s so quiet that it’s mind boggling. I highly recommend this RV park…very nice park with very nice...
