Donegal Campground

Donegal Campground operates as a small, drive-in facility just off the Pennsylvania Turnpike, providing both RV sites with full hookups and tent camping areas. The campground features a mix of permanent residents and transient campers, with tent sites arranged around the perimeter of an open grassed field in the upper portion of the property. Highway proximity means consistent traffic noise, though some campers find the location convenient for overnight stops.

The facility includes basic amenities like clean restrooms, showers, and a seasonal swimming pool. Sites tend to be spaced closely together, but the campground's small size typically keeps occupancy low. RV campers with larger rigs may encounter leveling challenges on some sites, while the thickly wooded areas provide natural screening between certain spots.

Staff members escort new arrivals to their sites and check satisfaction with placement. The campground welcomes pets, including larger breeds that face restrictions elsewhere. Joanne H. found it "peaceful despite being by the highway." For those exploring the region, campgrounds near Jones Mills offer additional options within a few miles.

The facility works well for travelers seeking a convenient waystation with full hookups, though campers sensitive to road noise may want to consider the turnpike's proximity when planning their stay.

Guests commonly noted this small campground's peaceful atmosphere, clean facilities, and exceptionally friendly hosts. Highway noise was the primary concern, though many found it manageable. Good option for those seeking privacy.

Small and close to the road

Campground owners were very nice and helpful. We went there for tent camping and were directed to the very top part of the property. The tent sites are in a large open field with sites around the perimeter of the field.

The campground is situated right off of the main road so the road noise can be an issue if it bothers you. We personally, didn't sleep well because of the road noise.

The campground is pet friendly, even for our bully breed, whom is a gentle giant. That was one kf the reasons that we chose this campground.

An Oasis off the Interstate

A very nice campground that I'll go back to if I'm ever in the area. I could get around with my huge fifth wheel but it was still very thickly treed the way I like them. I couldn't get my trailer level on the site so that was a problem but one that a smaller trailer might not have. Lots of noise off the PA Turnpike but what do you expect when it's right off the interstate. This is a great waystation.

Very Quite Campground

We stayed here with a group and had plenty of space in the grassed tent area. There was a fire ring per site and we felt very private. The swimming pool was great. The amenities are Basic but functional. Not a busy campground, only one other tent the weekend we were there. A number of permanent Trailers. Close to the highway so expect some noise.

Great peaceful campground

Just got back from a weekend stay here and it was great. If you like camping to be quiet, peaceful and simple, then you'll love this little campground. We stayed at a tent site, site #11. This campground isn't one of those busy, overcrowded, commercialized campgrounds, and that's why my husband and I loved it! The sites are a little close together but since it's so small, it's still very private. The bathrooms were clean and well kept, nothing fancy, but camping isn't about fancy accommodations. They have a pool but it was closed for the season. The lady who checked us in was very nice and escorted us to our site, and made sure we were happy with it. There are a few permanent residents on the upper loop through the campground, and also a small little motel type apartment building with residents living in it, it is actually a part of the bath and shower house. The entire weekend had about 7 spots rented out, and it was super quiet and relaxing.

The only thing I can say about this campground that made me not give it 5 stars is, the highway noise. It's located right off the highway so the traffic noise is a little loud, so it takes away from the great sounds of camping, like the crickets, frogs and fire crackling. But all in all this was a great little find and my husband and I are already talking about going back.
