Quick Overview

New Stanton sits at the crossroads of Pennsylvania's scenic Laurel Highlands, where rolling hills meet the Appalachian foothills just 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. This small Westmoreland County town serves as an ideal base camp for exploring Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, Ohiopyle State Park's whitewater rapids, and the historic National Road that cuts through the heart of Pennsylvania. The location puts you within striking distance of both urban attractions and wilderness adventures.

The camping scene here centers around several RV parks that cater primarily to travelers seeking full amenities and convenient highway access. Both facilities offer full hookup sites with modern amenities, though you won't find any free camping options among the some available spots in the immediate area. These parks focus on providing comfortable stopping points for cross-country travelers and weekend getaway seekers.

From your campsite, you're positioned perfectly for day trips to Kentuck Knob and Fallingwater, both Frank Lloyd Wright masterpieces within 45 minutes. The Great Allegheny Passage rail-trail runs nearby, offering 150 miles of converted railroad bed perfect for biking or hiking. Ohiopyle's Class III rapids draw whitewater enthusiasts from across the region, while the quieter Youghiogheny River Lake provides calmer waters for fishing and kayaking.

Most RVers here fall into two camps: those passing through on I-70 who need a reliable overnight stop, and weekend warriors from Pittsburgh and surrounding cities seeking a nature escape. The parks cater well to big rigs with pull-through sites and solid infrastructure. Seasonal campers also claim spots for summer-long stays, taking advantage of the central location for exploring multiple state parks.

Summer brings the heaviest traffic, especially on weekends when Pittsburgh families head for the hills. Spring and fall offer the best combination of mild weather and manageable crowds, particularly for hiking the extensive trail networks. Winter camping is possible but limited, with some seasonal closures affecting amenities.

Our listings below detail each park's specific offerings, from site sizes to recreational facilities, helping you choose the right fit for your rig and travel style.

Traveling to New Stanton by RV

Interstate 70 provides the main artery into New Stanton, connecting directly to the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) at Exit 57. This junction makes the area a natural stopping point for cross-country travelers, though the interchange can get congested during peak travel times. US Route 119 runs north-south through town, offering a more scenic alternative route from the Morgantown area.

RV drivers should note that some local roads have weight restrictions, particularly the smaller routes leading to Fallingwater and other attractions. Stick to major highways when possible, and always check bridge clearances on secondary roads. The terrain gets hillier as you head toward the state parks, with some steep grades that require attention in larger rigs.

For fuel and supplies, the TA Travel Center at Exit 57 offers RV-friendly diesel pumps and a well-stocked convenience store. Walmart Supercenter on Route 119 provides groceries and camping supplies, with a large parking lot that can accommodate most RV sizes for quick stops. Several smaller gas stations along Route 119 also have truck-friendly access.

The drive itself showcases Pennsylvania's transition from industrial valleys to forested mountains. Route 381 south toward Ohiopyle offers particularly scenic views but includes narrow sections and sharp curves that aren't suitable for larger RVs. Plan your route to attractions carefully, and consider unhitching for some destinations.
