Reservations are available at Camp A While, a privately run campground in Hegins, Pennsylvania, operating April through October with nightly rates ranging from $26 to $44. Sites accommodate RVs up to 70 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, and a dump station is on-site. Access comes with a roughness warning, so drivers of larger rigs should plan accordingly. The campground sits near a creek, and the layout places tent camping and RV sites on opposite sides of the stream.
Noise is the most consistent theme in reviews. The campground sits close to a freeway, and truck traffic is audible, especially at night. Light sleepers may want to bring ear plugs. That said, the stream running through the property provides a counterpoint to the road noise, and Jen notes the pull of "the sound of the stream" against the passing cars. Fall foliage along the creek corridor draws repeat visitors in October.
The owners draw frequent praise. Reviewers across multiple years describe them as hands-on, delivering firewood to sites and conducting regular rounds through the campground. A pool, rec room, and on-site camp store round out the amenities, with several campers noting the store's prices were fair. Powered sites are gravel rather than grass, which is worth noting for tent campers who prefer softer ground.
Nearby options for comparison include Echo Valley Campground to the south and Rausch Creek Off Road Park to the southwest. Camp A While tends to work best for campers who value attentive management and full hookup access over a remote setting.
