The Massive Family Campground Near Pittsburgh That’s The Size Of A Small Town

Who’s ready to just get away for a few days? We all need some time to unwind, right? But, for most of us, relaxing at home is often interrupted by real life – chores, phone calls, and unexpected emergencies. Indulge in a night or a few nights or more of relaxation, while enjoying the sheer beauty of nature, with a visit to this family campground near Pittsburgh that’s open all year around.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

Start planning your next camping adventure at Hickory Hollow Campground, tucked in the picturesque Laurel Highlands.

But, first you have to decide what kind of camping experience you want. Are you in the mood for an old-fashioned, rustic experience? Then, pitch a tent or reserve one of the rustic cabins.

If you want a little more comfort during your date with nature, opt for a full service cabin, which comes with a higher price tag, but you get all of the modern amenities.

Or, pull your RV up to one of the RV sites. Each RV site features water, sewer, electric, *and* cable TV hookup.

Need a shower after a long, hot day? Hickory Hollow features bathrooms and showers (pictured below).

All settled in? Now, we get to all of the fun things you can do at Hickory Hollow Campground. Go fishing in the catch and release lake or rent a paddle boat for a leisurely tour. Swimming in the lake is prohibited. But...

Who needs to swim in a lake when you've got a gorgeous pool to cool you down? Sunbathe next to the pool then slip into the cool water.

Enjoy a picnic at one of the picnic tables as the kids play at the playground. Or, explore the campground on one of its hiking and biking trails.

During the summer season, Hickory Hollow Campground hosts fun activities on the weekends.

Hickory Hollow Campground is located at 176 Big Hickory Rd., Rockwood, PA 15557.
