Camping’s just the perfect getaway. Like roughing it? Pitch your tent in a secluded spot under the trees. Prefer all the modern amenities of home? Rent a deluxe cabin. Or, maybe you’re on the lookout for a unique way to camp? Well, how about in a tepee? That’s right. Now you can spend the day outdoors on the river then retreat to your tepee for a relaxing night at this unique campground near Pittsburgh.

But, first you have to decide where you’ll stay on the sprawling grounds of the campground. Park your RV, for example, in one of the spots overlooking the shimmering river.

Or, if you prefer roughing it - trekking to the bathroom in the middle of the night - pitch a tent. Some tent sites even boast water and electricity.

Of course, you can also reserve one of the campground’s tepees. Each tepee, which sleeps up to four campers, features two single beds and a full futon.

Now comes the good news/bad news. Good news, the site features water and electricity. Bad news (depending on how you look at it), the tepees are not 100 percent rainproof.

Settle in to your digs before exploring the campground. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, slip down the winding slide into the pool. Or, go boating in the river.
