Ferryboat Campsites

Along the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania, Ferryboat Campsites operates on grounds where a working ferry has carried passengers for over 100 years. The campground sits directly on the water, with many sites offering river views and immediate access for fishing, kayaking, and tubing. Most campers here are seasonal residents, creating a community atmosphere where long-term neighbors often share resources with overnight visitors.

The property includes various camping options, from primitive tent sites near the mini-golf course to full hookup RV spots with water and river views. Shaded sites cluster in loops behind the honeymoon cabins, while an upper field provides water-only tent camping. A small petting zoo with pygmy goats adds family appeal, and the on-site camp store stocks basics alongside an ice cream shop positioned riverside. Across the street, a local winery overlooks the water.

River access drives most activity here, with motorboats, kayaks, and tubing popular during warmer months. The campground fills quickly on weekends with water sports enthusiasts. "Come for the river and the kind seasonal people," melissa advises. However, one reviewer noted the area's flood susceptibility during heavy rains.

For those needing additional camping choices, places to camp near Millersburg provide alternatives. Book ahead for summer weekends when river activities peak.

Campers regularly cited the scenic riverside location, family amenities like goat petting zoo, and reasonable rates as highlights. Several noted concerns about close site spacing and seasonal resident dominance.

Typical tent camping

They offer the typical tent camping environment, mostly out in an open field and good walk to showers/head. Other than that was enjoyable place to stay.

It’s ok

We enjoyed our stay here — but mostly because we liked being right on the water. If it weren’t for that this would not be the campground for us. The weather was hot so lots of tubing and fishing and kayaking in the river — we loved to sit out and watch the water go by. Wood at the camp store is incredibly expensive — they don’t sell to nightly campers by anything more than the small bundle ($8) — thankfully a lien seasonal let us buy some of his stock, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to afford more than one fire over the weekend. Come for the river and the kind seasonal people (which is the majority).

Beautiful River View

We stayed at a Susquehanna river view site with full hookups for 2 nights. Site was level and shaded, but very close to neighbors. Most sites were occupied by permanent or seasonal residents. Bathrooms and grounds were very clean. Rates are reasonable for what you get, and they offer discounts. We would stay here again. Update: Storms with heavy rain in the area made the river rise. We were told the campground is susceptible to flooding, so check the weather when you come!

Family Friendly on the Susquehanna

If I could I would live there. I never wanted to leave. It was the nicest place I ever visited. Rode on the Ferry every time I could. The campground is very nicely run and the campstore is great.

Great little site with lots of seasonal residents.

This is a wonderful little campsite primarily catering the seasonal RVer. With that said they do have primitive camping spots next to the putt putt course and water only tent sits at the upper feild. There are also water/electric sites in a loop behind the honeymooner cabins, and they have teh best shade and set up for hammock camping.

The ferry here is real, and has been in operation for the last 100+ years

There is a small goat petting zoo, with very friendly pigmy goats and the camp is extremely pet friendly as long as they are on a leash.

There is the typical camp store, and in addition there is the icecream store next to the river. Across the street is a local winery with the best views of the river around.

The campsite fills quickly on the weekends, kayakers and fishers, and motorboats use this as the weekend home and mini family vacation spots.

The showers are located in the RV section of the campground, so you will have to walk a bit if you are tent camping.

There are horse stable available as well on site.
