Fox Den Acres Campground

New Stanton campers will be close to several beautiful state parks. Linn Run State Park is the closest and consists of verdant woodlands along the Linn Run. This stream is a popular spot for fishing and contains an abundance of trout. Slightly farther downstream, there's a waterfall, which is the perfect spot for a family picnic. Hikers will have over 600 acres to explore, with six miles of trails that lead along the Linn Run and through a section of forest. These trails are also suitable for horseback riding. During the winter, the park's trail system is ideal for winter sports, including snowmobiling. When camping near Pittsburgh, you will be a stone's throw from the Laurel Highlands. Laurel Hill State Park is situated near Jones Mills and is one of the region's most popular parks. The park features the 60-acre Laurel Hills Lake, surrounded by forest-covered mountains. Despite the region's mountainous terrain, the park's 15 miles of trails are easy to follow and fairly mild. The Laurel Highlands are known for having a variety of wildlife, and hikers should keep a lookout for mink, bobcats, and black bears during their travels. Laurel Hill Lake is a popular location for watersports such as boating and fishing, and anglers will find trout, bass, and catfish lurking in the lake. While exploring Pittsburgh, you may want to take a break from the bustling streets, and if so, plan a trip to Point State Park. Where the Ohio, Allegheny, and Monongahela rivers meet, this historic state park was the site of a battle during the French and Indian War. This well-maintained park has numerous walkways that provide stunning views of rivers, and the park is also adorned with several fountains. Due to the park being located where three rivers meet, it's perfect for kayaking, boating, and fishing. There are a few places to moor a boat for the day, and anglers can catch a variety of fish, including sauger, panfish, and catfish.
