Five River Campgrounds

Came here for labor day weekend with the wife. Tent camping with a fire. Joyce was the person in charge and was cordial and nice. She offered fire wood at a reasonable price and brought it to us on a golf cart. The scenery was very pleasant. Trees and mountains with a river running through it. The river was more a stream when we visited, but that’s OK. People were wading down and fishing in it. There were plenty of areas with shade for camping. Amenities were good. A few areas with out houses for middle of the night use or whenever. Then there’s a main area with showers and washing machines. Nights were quiet with some music, but come 10 pm a siren would sound and it was quiet there after. Not sure if the siren was for the town or camp site, but it was definitely loud enough for the entire town. Overall a very pleasant experience. Do explore in and around the town as the people are all generally very nice.

My husband and I stayed here on labor day weekend. Very nice location for a campsite, plenty of space to stay by the river, not crowded, family friendly, quiet with washer/​dryer and warm showers. We stayed in a tent, firewood was delivered to us for a charge by Joyce who runs this camping site. Joyce has been wonderful to us from the start, beginning with booking to checking in with us regularly to see if we needed more firewood. Couldn’t have asked for more for our first camping experience together. The Allegheny highlands trail is easily accessible by bike from the campground. The portion we rode was a six mile narrow uphill trail that led to a beautiful hidden waterfall.

I had the pleasure of spending my Fourth of July holiday at Five River Campground with a handful of friends and I was not disappointed. The Five Rivers property is made up of several acres nestled next to Shavers Fork near the Monongahela National Forest. The grounds are very well maintained and there is more than ample space for many, many tents. RV Sites are level and the people RVing I spoke with were extremely nice.
As far as campground facilities go, this is pretty top notch! The shower & restroom facilities are *very* well maintained, clean and as a welcome surprise very spacious. If that wasn’t enough, the showers and sinks are fitted with Kohler or Moen fixtures. On-​site washer/​dryer facilities are also a great touch to help with clothing after a swim in the river. For those that need it, they even offer WiFi for a fee.
Costs to stay the night, be it RV or Tent, are very reasonable. They do get you a little when it comes to firewood ($ 5/​smallish bundle), but that’s really the only negative thing I can possibly think of. All in all, Five Rivers Campground is a very lovely campground with friendly people that I look forward to visiting again.
A few things to keep in mind while planning your visit:
1. There are absolutely no picnic tables. Make sure to byo table or be prepared to use your tailgate for everything.
2. The McDonalds, less than a mile away, sells bags of ice for only $ 1.
3. AT&T has great cell phone reception here. The other carriers, not so much.
