Second trip in two months. And as expected we had a peaceful good time

Plenty of space, and surrounded by wilderness.

Weekend Trip to Elevated RV Camping at Rustic Acres

We tented here for one night, and it was a very pleasant experience. The place was notably tidy and kept well in-order, and much of the property was very pretty. The tent sites in particular were nicely situated under a grove of well-spaced pines. Maybe a hundred yards down-hill from the sites a short foot path takes one through the woods to a very pretty creek, where we availed ourselves of much some much needed tranquility. (It's worth noting that if you like more privacy, though, while one side of the sites is wooded, on other side runs the road, across which sit some RV sites. So the level of seclusion is somewhat minimal, though no less than at any typical campground, and still they are segregated in their own area on the other side of the road.) The staff were courteous and very accomodating (they even lent us a grill for cooking, as we'd not brought one [note that the fire rings do not have grills]). All in all, it was a great time for a couple days of rest and reprieve.

A large shaded site, hidden in the woods. With a fire ring, picnic table and gravel road. Park right next to the site, no walk-in.

We stayed at campsite 95 and it felt really private. The Hub was also really useful to get a little work done that came up last minute. It did feel a little more RV park-y than I was expecting, but between all of the incredible amenities and how lovely our actual campsite was I didn't mind at all. Definitely Recommend!

Marty and were so accommodating! We were welcomed and shown the options for parking. Our site was gorgeous. We could have stayed for a few days to check out the bike trails and hiking, but alas, we only had one night at the farm. Would definitely stay again. A bit off the beaten path, and so worth it!

This is my second stay at Rustic Acres and it gets better each time. It’s a smaller campground but so clean and manicured, great amenities but still gives you the woodsy experience you’re looking for. Everyone abides by quiet hours, friendly campers, got a great nights sleep. We will definitely be returning!

Rustic acres is everything you hope a campground would be and more. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the attention to detail is clear in every corner from the inviting community fire pit to the communal workspace. The hub workspace is a brilliant touch for remote workers and the free Wi-Fi actually works Plus being just minutes from the Town of Clarion which offers breweries, restaurants and delicious coffee shops. It's quiet, family friendly and full of heart. We left with great memories and planned to come back soon. Highly recommend!

This spot is lovely and very private. Richard was an excellent host - he greeted us on arrival and directed us to the spot, provided a map with local recommendations, and was accessible for any questions we had.

The area was great! No neighbors, bird tripping, nature sounds. Everything was great! The host was informative but he'll respond to you little late because there's no Internet reception in the area including the campsite. If you are looking for a cheap place to camp with no others campers then I recommend this one

A very quiet location although alongside a road. An evening train or two can be a bit loud, but fairly brief. If you like small towns, Zelienople is 10 minutes away - fun, weekly events, shopping and great food options.

We arrived later than anticipated but getting to site was no issue at all. Our site was perfect and was spaced out nicely from others. Really nice coffee shop at top of hill. Host and other guest were all friendly and welcoming. Would recommend.
