Penn Roosevelt State Park Campground

This 41-acre park is in an isolated area of the Seven Mountains region known as the Stone Creek Kettle. While this Centre County park is small in size, it is surrounded by an 80,000-acre block of Rothrock State Forest.

Penn-Roosevelt is a good base for those seeking low-density recreation on this vast expanse of public land. Popular activities include: hiking on the Mid-State or other State Forest trails, gravel-riding on over 100 miles of Forestry roads, and mountain biking the nearby Cooper’s Gap area, a destination Pennsylvania mountain biking trail system.

Rustic sites, tents only

The 18 rustic campsites are for tents only and are open year-round. Some sites are walk-in for more privacy. All campsites are first-come, first-serve.

Drinking water and non-flush toilets are available.

Due to the isolated location, Penn-Roosevelt provides an excellent opportunity to get away from noise and electric lights.

Park rangers routinely patrol the park and camping fees are paid through a self-registration/payment system.

Please keep food and coolers in vehicles to protect them from wild animals.
