Ravensburg State Park Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Ravensburg State Park sits in a valley in central Pennsylvania, and the drive in reflects that geography. The descent along Rocky Road is notably steep, and several campers flag that GPS directions can lead to the wrong approach road entirely. Using coordinates is the more reliable method. Sites are tent-only, drive-in, and first-come, first-served, with no reservations required. The campground runs from the first Friday in May through the last Sunday in September.

Sites are well-spaced and shaded, with raised tent pads and natural vegetation providing separation between neighbors. Crowd levels tend to run low. A few sites sit directly alongside the creek, and the sound of the water moving over rapids can be significant, particularly after rain. The road running through the park carries more traffic than the setting suggests, with noise noticeable in the mornings. Hiking trails of varying lengths follow the creek corridor, with some sections deep enough for swimming. Dogs are welcome throughout.

Facilities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water, and a dump station. KK describes the campground as "perfect for a quick little stopover," and the layout supports that use well, though repeat visitors also return for multi-night stays. Bathrooms are kept clean according to consistent reviewer reports. Cell service is available on-site. Campers wanting a different setup in the same general area can look at Sand Spring Road Site — Tiadaghton State Forest, a dispersed option about 1.8 miles to the east, or browse campgrounds near Loganton for additional choices in the region.

Campers regularly cited spacious, private sites with clean facilities and raised tent pads. Road noise from the nearby highway is a consistent concern, though many visitors found it manageable for short stays.

Use lat and long to find peaceful woods by stream

Nice and shaded! No one there but us in site 6, not even a ranger checked on us. Has modern toilets and shower. Most sites are spacious. They have nice raised tent pads. It’s very humid so many picnic tables have green moss.

First come first serve but still had to pay transaction fee! which was annoying for our one night stay as I'd rather have the state parks get that money.

Use lat and long coordinates for directions or you will be in the wrong spot.

Great for just chilling

We've camped here couple times, and we just keep coming back. There are few hiking trails; short and long that take you to beautiful views along the creek with a couple of places deep enough to swim. They are dog friendly. You don't need a reservation. It's good for large groups (you can get sites in a row) or just you. There are plenty of trees that are good for hammocking. And in a few sites, you can set them up right by the creek, which is my favorite part.

Get in touch with nature here

This state park is beautiful and I consider it a semi-hidden gem. It's our favorite place to tent camp. It's rarely busy and it's first come first serve. They have tent pads which are nice but we have a 10x20 tent so we pick a site that the pad is flush with the surrounding ground. There are bushes and trees between the sites and it feels very private. Sometimes it can feel too secluded but the park ranger drives through a number of times. They are always very friendly. There is no electric but there are spots to get water even placed throughout. The bathrooms are clean and we've never run into any issues. There is some nice hiking here and lots of nature to explore.

Great little park low-key campers

Tent camped here one night, perfect for a quick little stopover. As other reviewers mention, it’s right near a road so you hear car (and horse & buggy!) noise — would try to get a spot further away from the road if possible. Pretty clean bathroom, easy self-registration process, and not too many folks!

Great place for quick overnight during a road trip

Park is easily accessible from I-80, just be aware of your directions and make sure they’re taking you to the park via Rocky Road. Mine did not, and I ended up down a seasonal road that did not end at the park entrance. With the right directions, it’s easy to find. You will be driving down into the valley, which can feel very steep at times.

Park was very quiet in terms of sites being used. Only one other site was occupied. Tent only sites were very nice and most were spacious. The road that park is on is busier than one would think, not bad at night, but busy in the morning. Also, the nature noise here is loud. If you camp on the sites by the river, be prepared for lots of noise from the rapids. It had been raining quite heavily all day, so this may have impacted the volume levels. Nature noise is not something I would normally complain about, but this seemed noticeably loud. Bathrooms were small, but clean and adequate.

Overall, this park was very nice. I wanted a place to stop overnight, and this worked out really well. I would camp here again.

Cute little park and camp ground

Id definitely say this is a great little park with a decent amount to offer! The 1000 step trail is fun! Only issue is the campgrounds are close to the road and therefore are loud at night occasionally
