First time at Buckaloons. It is not big rig friendly. However that is understandable because most of these places where built years ago when rvs was smaller. I booked site 5 with 50 amp service. The 50 amp was not working so plugged into the 30 amp till we could figure out about getting a different site. Camp host was out of the park at the time so I called the Warren park office so maybe they could send someone to fix it. After a while the host came back and speaking to them was really not much help. The would not call their boss to see about moving me to a double site that was unoccupied. They wanted to move me to another site that the 50 amp was not working. After she made the comment the 50 amp has not worked for some time now. I told them since you don’t want to call about moving me to the double site. I told them that I am just going to move to it since it was not reserved. But over all it was a nice stay. It’s posted that you can not swim or float in the river there. Probably will not go back.

Very well maintained park, bathrooms were well kept. This campground gets a bit of road noise during the day due to it's proximity to a trucking company, but was quiet at night. Sites were isolated enough that you're not looking into each others windows. We have ATT wireless, and while we didn't have more than a bar or two, reception was great every day. Located right on the Allegheny River, so bring your boat.
