About
State Park
Welcome to Parker Dam State Park Campground, nestled near Penfield, PA. This place is a gem for anyone looking to escape into nature. The campground is open from the second Friday in April to mid-December, giving you plenty of time to enjoy its beauty.
The campground offers a mix of tent and RV sites, some shaded and others more open. If you’re bringing a big rig, you’ll find it friendly here with electric and sewer hookups available. There’s also drinking water, showers, and toilets to keep you comfortable during your stay. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along.
One of the highlights here is the small lake where you can rent kayaks and paddle boards. It’s a great spot for families, with a jungle gym right in the middle of the campground to keep the kids entertained. If you’re into hiking, you’ll find plenty of trails to explore, and the park is close enough to Benezette for a quick trip to see the elk.
Visitors have mentioned that the bathhouses are clean and modern, and the park staff are friendly and helpful. The campground host is known for being particularly welcoming and ensuring the sites are well-maintained.
For those who love a bit of rustic charm, the cabin camping here is a treat. You might even get snowed in during the winter, which adds to the adventure. The cabins come with stoves, making it easy to cook indoors if the weather turns.
