Somerset Resort & Campground is a campground and RV park on Coleman Station Road in Friedens, Pennsylvania, listed with a 4.9 average across 111 reviews. That rating, paired with the volume of detailed feedback left by recent guests, makes it one of the more closely documented small campgrounds in the Somerset County area — travelers tend to write at length about the bathhouse, the glamping units and the surrounding fields rather than simply noting that they stayed.
The property is reachable by phone at +1 814-445-4093 and online at somersetresort.com, and it operates on Eastern Time. What follows is a review assembled from the listing data and from what visitors themselves wrote, with opinions attributed to those reviewers rather than presented as measured fact.
Somerset Resort & Campground at a Glance
The listing places Somerset Resort & Campground at 1252 Coleman Station Rd, Friedens, PA 15541, in the southwestern Pennsylvania countryside, with map coordinates near 40.03 north and 78.95 west. It is categorized both as a campground and as an RV park, and the activity data attached to the listing names camping, cabins and RV camping, along with a camping fee — meaning the site operates as a paid, bookable stay rather than a free public camping area. Visitors describe it as a base for the Somerset County area, with one noting it is remote yet only about fifteen minutes from town.
The site presents itself as a mixed accommodation property rather than a pure hook-up lot. Reviewers refer to RV spaces, cabins, glamping pods and A-frames, and one guest observed that there may be more glamping cabins than RV sites. Access is by road, with free parking and on-site parking both noted in the listing data, and the property sits close enough to the Flight 93 Memorial that multiple reviewers used it as a visiting base.
What Do Visitors Like About Somerset Resort & Campground?
Sentiment across the reviews is overwhelmingly warm. Fourteen of the fifteen reviews supplied describe a stay they would repeat or recommend, and the recurring words are cleanliness, scenery and staff. The one dissenting review is not a rejection of the place: that guest still called it a good overnight stop for the memorial and focused the complaint on noise from a neighboring long-term site. Guests repeatedly frame the property as better than they expected going in — several mention arriving with low expectations, particularly around booking online or staying at an unattended site, and being surprised by the standard of the facilities.
1. A Bathhouse That Guests Compare to a Spa
The single most repeated point of praise is the bath and shower building. Gregory Davis wrote that the bathrooms were the best his party had seen across America, and Frank D DiLiddo III described them as luxurious spa quality with robes, towels and shower products supplied. Stacey Haney called the bathroom modern and stocked, providing the comforts of home, while Hussein Fayad said that although the bathroom and hot tubs are shared, everything was in pristine condition. Mary Lesser, who noted she had run a cleaning service for over thirty years, said the campground was cleaner than most hotel rooms she had rented.
That consistency matters because it is repeated by guests staying in different unit types — RV sites, glamping pods and cabins — rather than clustering around one accommodation category.
2. Glamping Pods, Cabins and A-Frames
Guests describe a range of units beyond standard RV pads. Hussein Fayad rented a glamping pod for a night and listed air conditioning, a microwave, an electric kettle, a Keurig machine and a mini fridge, with a small bonfire setup for each pod and firewood sold on site. Kate Franklin said her pod was stocked with silverware, cups, plates, bowls and a wine opener, and Mary Lesser noted that the pod matched what the photos showed, including natural lighting and a provided mirror. Lauren McNeal stayed in a cabin with a family of four and found it far more spacious than expected.
jerry allman described the A-frames as well appointed with modern upscale furnishings, and Stacey Haney, who did not use a cabin herself, said they looked just as impressive from outside.
3. Wildflowers, Fields and Mountain Views
Scenery appears in almost every review. Lauren McNeal called the scenery and wildflowers incredible, Stacey Haney mentioned lovely wild flowers, and Steven Monko wrote about the hot tubs having a view of the mountains. John Angevine described lots of shade and pretty views across the fields, while Christine Willis called it one of the prettiest campgrounds she had visited. Jeff Lewis and Kate Franklin both used the word beautiful for the grounds.
The landscaping is tied to upkeep in several accounts: Gregory Davis said the campground is landscaped perfectly, and Stacey Haney felt there was evident pride taken in keeping it looking great.
4. Hot Tubs and a Quiet Evening Atmosphere
Two hot tubs are mentioned by name in the reviews and appear in the listing's activity and amenity data. Frank D DiLiddo III stressed that these are real Jacuzzi-style tubs rather than small units with a couple of jets, and described them as clean and appreciated. Jeff Lewis said the hot tub was an amenity he had not been prepared for, and Bree Romero wrote about trying the jacuzzi at night. Stacey Haney confirmed the count of two.
The atmosphere reviewers describe is deliberately low-key: Kate Franklin called it the exact vibe she wanted for an anniversary and recommended it for anyone looking to slow down around nature, while Mary Lesser opened with how peaceful it was.
5. Hosts, Staff and a Frictionless Arrival
Booking and arrival are described as simple. jerry allman wrote that online booking was straightforward and there was no onerous check-in process — guests go straight to the site and plug in. Steven Monko praised the hosts on the phone and said the workers were friendly and always smiling. Bree Romero arrived early to beat an ice storm and was allowed to check in ahead of time. Christine Willis called the hosts top notch, and Lauren McNeal described the staff as very kind.
jerry allman also noted a 1 PM checkout, which he said gave his party time to visit the memorial without moving their camper first.
6. Big Rigs, Tight Turns and Site Fit
Access is the one area where reviews diverge. Steven Monko, driving a 41-foot Class A with a tow vehicle, reported no problems and called the route challenging but manageable, and John Angevine advised swinging wide at a tight right turn at the entrance and keeping left on the internal loop road. Christine Willis pointed to sites 1, 2 and 3 for larger rigs.
Frank D DiLiddo III, however, said he would not recommend the property to inexperienced drivers in a big rig, estimating that only two or three sites can handle a 45-foot motorhome. Heidi Hendrick found the spaces tight but doable, and separately reported loud late-night guests from a long-term site past the 11 PM quiet hour. John Angevine also noted that only one device can sign in to the campground Wi-Fi, which he worked around using a strong phone signal as a hotspot.
