Williamsport South-Nittany Mountain KOA provides family-oriented camping with amenities like a swimming pool, playground, and petting zoo, while Riverside Campground & Riverside Roadhouse offers waterfront campsites along the Susquehanna River. The camping landscape includes several public options like Raymond B. Winter State Park Campground, which maintains sites in a more natural setting. Most locations provide electric hookups, water access, and fire rings, with several featuring full sewer connections for extended stays.
Seasonal considerations shape the camping throughout the region, with most campgrounds operating from April through October or November. Raymond B. Winter State Park remains open until mid-December, while Ricketts Glen State Park Campground offers year-round access. A camper noted, "This place is a cute little campground that allows dogs and has a bar right on the property. We enjoyed beers and live music and the next day turned out decent and we were able to enjoy the riverside camping." Weather patterns affect site conditions, particularly after heavy rainfall when some tent sites near waterways may experience flooding. Most campgrounds require reservations, especially during summer weekends and holiday periods when facilities reach capacity.
Along the Susquehanna River, several campgrounds offer direct water access that proves popular with visitors. Campers frequently mention fishing opportunities, kayaking, and swimming as highlights of their stays. One visitor commented, "The kids loved playing and fishing in the river and swimming in the pool. The restaurant on site had good food!" Family-friendly amenities receive particular attention in reviews, with playgrounds, jumping pillows, and organized activities drawing positive feedback. While some campgrounds primarily serve RV travelers with full hookups and level sites, others maintain tent-specific areas with more natural surroundings. The proximity to attractions like Williamsport, Bucknell University, and Little League World Series events makes these campsites near Allenwood convenient bases for exploring the wider region while enjoying outdoor recreation.

It's a nice park but it's daytime only there's no camping here

Twin Grove RV Resort
Nothing open
Picked the nicest days of the week. Got here and the carousel, Ferris wheel, restaurant, and ice cream shoppe are closed. They are apparently only open 2 days a week, maybe 3. I would have just went down the road to the KOA had I not known this.

GuideRussell P Letterman Campground — Bald Eagle State Park
Loved it
Its was great, we stayed in new area, sites had ample room, not many trees at our spot so summer there wouldnt be much shade but we were next to a retention pond/drainage. We brought our dig whole loved running through there.
Not much to say besides it was clean, not crowded (in November) and decent spacing between sites

Bellefonte-State College KOA
Easy
It was overall good, Nice amenities, pool was clean (3ft-5ft) Splash pad, air pillow, playground, pond, etc
It has nice wooded areas but very compact, if you have a large camper id be concerned with trying to make some turns on the upper area

RangerLocust Lake State Park Campground
Probably won't be back
Check in was a Doozy. I have never treated like that....and my friend that checked in an hour earlier got the same attitude. I have also never been to a state Park that wanted me to check in every time I drive past the station. And to top it off, anyone could park at the visitors parking lot and come through at any time. Second night, I swear drone or someone was on our site in the middle of the night. Flashed Twice. Scared at that point. Only one car at a site. Never actually saw a ranger drive through
KikicarlisleScoutRiverfront Campground
Disgusting
Where do I start?
We came to this campground to connect with family who was hiking the AT. We left after one miserable night. Here are some reasons:
A giant confederate flag near the entrance
Highway noise and not one but two train tracks
One Filthy “bathroom”
No shade at our campsite- despite other available sites with some shade
A trail of poison ivy on the narrow path to the river
Cigarette butts everywhere
And a creepy man on a bike who declared he was a local and wouldn’t leave our site while I was alone and insisted on talking to me about the strip club down the street, where to buy condoms and how my tent’s mesh shelf is perfect for drying out my wet panties.
Laurie P.ScoutRiverfront Campground
Trashy
We called ahead of time to reserve two sites for two nights for a bunch of people from out of state and some hikers from the AT. They said it was $35 per site per night. When we arrived we were told that we had to pay for three nights because it was a holiday weekend AND that the price was per tent. The porta potties were gross and hadn’t been serviced in a while. It was difficult to use them. During a heat wave we were given a site with little shade when several sites further along with plenty of trees were empty. The plumbed bathroom was dirty and had no soap. The shop did not in fact sell love bait, which cramped our fishing style. There is a loud rail road with constant trains on one side and a very busy highway with loud trucks on the other. The river front was lovely, but with detritus from previous campers on the rocks. We left after one night.

Good little campground
Stayed for 2 nights with my pup. Nice, private, walk up tent sites maybe 50 yards or so from the road. Didn’t find too much to do trails wise at the campground but the pond nearby has some lovely views and the park across the bridge has a nice beach for swimming.
Guide to Allenwood
Campgrounds near Allenwood, Pennsylvania offer diverse camping experiences for travelers and outdoor enthusiasts throughout the year. The region sits within the Ridge and Valley province of the Appalachian Mountains, with elevations ranging from 450 to 2,000 feet.

What to do
Hike the waterfalls trail: At Ricketts Glen State Park Campground, visitors can explore one of Pennsylvania's most impressive natural features. "The biggest draw to this state park is the 22 waterfalls! We saw 18 of them on a four-mile moderate hike, but if you want to see the additional four, you could make it a seven-mile hike. The trails are very well marked," notes a camper.
Fish in Penn's Creek: Fishing opportunities abound near several campsites in the Allenwood region. A visitor at Little Mexico Campground mentions, "We have a group of 4 campers and we enjoy tubing down the river right to the campground." Penn's Creek is known for trout fishing from April through June.
Swim in natural settings: Natural swimming areas provide relief during hot summer days. "The lake is small, more like a pond, but super cold and clean water, as it is fed by two mountains streams. The beach is amazing. Tons and tons of clean sand, no rocks, and lots of space to play and swim," describes a Raymond B. Winter State Park visitor.
What campers like
Private woodland sites: Campers frequently mention appreciating secluded spots. At Raymond B. Winter State Park Campground, "The night skies were beautiful (starry starry night w/little light pollution) and trails galore leading directly from the campground. Bathrooms were clean as well- an added bonus!"
On-site entertainment: Many campgrounds offer activities beyond natural recreation. At Knoebels Campground, families enjoy easy access to attractions. "The site was plenty spacious for our pup and TV, but was not level at all. This campground was huge, and very crowded on the weekends. We arrived on a Thursday night, and pretty much had the whole place to ourselves."
Riverside relaxation: Water access ranks high on campers' preference lists. A visitor at Riverside Campground & Riverside Roadhouse shares, "Staff is very friendly. Cool mining for kids. Live music. Great food/bar. River was low and slow so we dropped in at Montgomery boat club instead of Muncy. Took about 3 hours with a lunch stop on island. Nice spots right next to river where we set up lawn chairs in river and let the kids play."
What you should know
Site variations by season: Camping conditions change dramatically throughout the year. A visitor notes about Ravensburg State Park Campground: "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."
