Little Mexico Campground, Winfield PA

If only this park lived up to it’s website.  Getting to this park is an adventure; through farmland and then a narrow, winding road that at one point comes within a foot or so of a house. This is a large seasonal park with only a few full hookup, back-in sites for travelers. Interior roads are gravel, and most sites are grass. Our site was within 8' of the laundry and restroom doors, and the night-long banging of doors was an irritant, and sitting outside with all of the traffic was uncomfortable. Active and noisy on the weekend, but fairly quiet during the week. The free WiFi was weak and generally unusable. No cable, but clear shot at the satellites and Verizon cell and data were strong. Fairly well maintained, but not really suited for travelers, this park is too far off the main roads unless you're visiting someone in the area.  Passport America accepted during weekdays ($20/night), otherwise way overpriced at $39/night.  Little Mexico Campground

What looks to be a former KOA, the park is average in it's amenities and facilities, except that the pull-thrus are exceptionally long. Lots of seasonals ring the center where overnighters are parked, and many could use facelifts. The pond is overgrown and not all that scenic or suitable for fishing. The gravel sites were fairly level and hookups were convenient and worked well as did the free WiFi. No trees in the overnight area, so a clear shot to the satellite, and Verizon cell and data were good. Although a short drive off of I-80, the park was quiet and dark at night. A good overnight stop albeit overpriced at $36/night.  Woodland Campground

This is difficult campground to rate; ours is based on the time of year, which probably is very important at a place like this.  Almost a calamity – the GPS, using the campground address, told us the campground was on the left, and it was – but only the office and gate for the permanent residents.  Had we turned left, we would have had to unhook the tow and spend an hour trying to turn around.  Fortunately, we saw the small sign on the right, and pulled in to meet a relieved host on a golf cart.  He escorted us to a site and told us to register after hooking up.  We ended up on a concrete pad with multiple-user power boxes.  There were four plugs; one 50A, the rest 30A.  The 50A was already in use, so we settled for the 30.  There was good free cable TV, thankfully because the park is completely tree-covered.  No WiFi, but Verizon cell and Aircard worked well.  The park is a helter-skelter arrangement of seasonal and transient RVs, complete with add-on rooms, outside furniture, etc.  It was quiet and reasonably dark at night, and for the Passport America rate of $20/night, it wasn’t a bad stay.  No reservations taken, so during the summer you’ll have trouble getting a large site.  Sara’s Campground

The delightful owner of this small, heavily-treed campground makes it easy to overlook some of the limitations of the park.  For big rigs, a drive up a tree-lined dirt road takes you to an open area on the top of the hill where you’ll have a clear shot at the satellite.  Sites are grass, 30A only, and back in.  The campground is quiet and convenient to dining and shopping in Somerset.  Verizon cell and Aircard worked well, no much broadcast TV.  At $30/night, cash or check only, it’s a nice respite from the usual cookie-cutter campground.   Woodland Campsites
