Re: parks near Pittsburgh, the pickings are slim. I'm originally from there and when visiting my family, I usually stay at Mountaintop Campground in the Tarentum area. Nice folks, great view and TV antennae reception, fiarly close to the PA turnpike exit #5 and just enough off the beaten path to feel like you are still camping.
If you are driving a DP towing a car don't worry about the hill getting in. But I did unhook my Jeep from the MH going in and out. it's Pittsburgh, there are hills here.
If your family is more to the west of the city I might consider staying out that way, maybe Raccoon Creek State Park.
