What a great place. So unique! Love the view, and a great experience! There are no hook ups, so be prepared but if you are looking for the dispersed camping experience you have found it. What a gem!

Peaceful State Park Camping in the Fall
This is a large campground with a wide array of campsites so be careful attention when you book online, especially if you have a pet because some sites are not pet-friendly. Some are 50-amp full hook-up and some are primitive with no hook-ups.
There is a nice nature center with interesting interpretive exhibits and lots of informational brochures including ones about the hiking trails, bears, scat and tracks of local animals, and fishing. Our site was at the edge of the campground and backed up to Route 534 which resulted in a bit of road noise at our site. Other than the road noise the campground was pretty quiet and was not very crowded when we camped there in October.
Not all sites are level and we happened to book one that was not and we had to live with a slant for our stay. The roads in the park are gravel/dirt and since it rained the day we arrived the roads were a muddy mess which made the roads slippery and there were lots of potholes. Unfortunately, some campers were disrespectful and left bags of trash in the fire pit and scattered around their site which was totally unnecessary because there were dumpsters plenty of dumpsters in the campground. Since we camped at Hickory Run late in the season, there were no camp hosts and the trash never got picked up.
The campground is open from mid-April to mid-December; however, the shower facilities and dump station are not available after the third week of October so plan accordingly. We really like the hiking trails which are of varying degrees of difficulty and lengths. The Hawk Falls is a nice easy walk (1.4 miles round-trip) to a waterfall but is extremely popular so don’t think you will be admiring the falls alone. The parking lot at this trail head fills up fast so you better get there early if you want to get a spot.
You can enter the park from two different directions. If you have a big-rig, it is best to approach from the east side. We made the mistake of coming in from the west side as we dropped down from I-80 and came down 534 and the road was really windy with no shoulder. Luckily, there was very little traffic so we could go 10 mph and safely navigate the roads.
Be aware alcohol is not allowed in PA state parks. This park does allow hunting in certain sections of the park. The no-hunting areas are clearly marked with white no hunting signs on trees and you can also pick up a brochure from the office that designates hunting and no-hunting sections.

The best views
This is a hidden gem, as close to dispersed camping you can get with dirt, gravel roads, large stone fire pits, a amazing views with the added benefit of a five gallon jug of non potable water and very clean port-a-potties. The owner regularly patrols the site and makes sure everything is okay.

Beautiful Falls!
What a great campground! We stayed here on a recommendation from a friend after the Overland Expo. Great hiking trails and the falls were absolutely breathtaking. Truly enjoyed our stay and plan to return!

Better than nothing
Small campground with rude owner. Everything I asked about was putting her out. It was cheap though at $36 for water and electric with a military discount.

Echo Valley Campground
Big sites with lots of trees
We only spent the night and didn't look at the amenities. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.

Simple, peaceful FHU
We stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.

Beautiful forest
Gorgeous forested area in the Poconos. We stayed on the Rattlesnake Loop which was lovely. Sites not super private but most nestled in trees. The only bummer was that that Campground Loop didn’t have any direct links to the trail network and was far from it. The other Campground Loop was closer to trails and office. Would return!

Grantville is great
The area is very nice and so are the people. The sites are clean and the livestock are a cool sight to see
Guide to Barnesville
RV campgrounds near Barnesville, Pennsylvania range in elevation from 800 to 1,400 feet with significant temperature swings between daytime and overnight hours, especially in spring and fall. The area's rolling terrain means most campgrounds have at least some slope to their sites, and visitors should plan accordingly. Campers commonly report spotty cell service in the more mountainous sections north of the Lehigh Valley.
What to do
Disc golf adventures: Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort features an on-site disc golf course that makes good use of the varying terrain. "Great place for Adventure, Blue Mountain Resort...If you're into Disc golf this place has that too," notes one reviewer. The course remains open in all seasons.
Fishing options: The ponds at Stonybrook RV Resort provide accessible fishing without leaving the property. "Caught some cat fish in the pond," mentions a visitor. Several campgrounds offer catch-and-release fishing but require Pennsylvania fishing licenses for adults.
Pennsylvania Dutch exploration: Driving the rural back roads provides access to authentic Amish culture within 25 minutes of several campgrounds. "Not much for amenities, but I loved the surrounding dutch/Amish towns! It was pretty cool to seemingly step back in time," shares a visitor to PA Dutch Country.
What campers like
Clean facilities: The maintained bathroom facilities at Pinch Pond Family Campground receive consistent praise. "The laundry area and shower rooms are beautiful and clean," notes a reviewer. Many campgrounds in the region have upgraded their facilities in recent years.
Affordable entertainment: Family-friendly activities often come at no additional cost. "The pool was open until 10pm everyday. This campground has free mini golf. You can borrow golf clubs but you do have to buy balls," explains a visitor to Appalachian Camping Resort.
Natural surroundings: Lake-In-Wood Campground offers a blend of wooded sites and open spaces. "The campground is walkable, I was able to go running, there are things for kids to do, some animals to go visit on our walks, obviously a lake, and it's close to stuff in Lancaster area," according to one tent camper.
What you should know
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds close for winter. "We stayed during the winter January-February no activities going on," notes a Stonybrook RV Resort visitor. Pine Hill RV Park maintains seasonal operation from April through November with full hookups and big rig accommodation.
Site conditions: After rainfall, some campgrounds experience drainage issues. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site!" warns a Robin Hill visitor. Request higher elevation sites when booking during rainy seasons.
Noise considerations: Several campgrounds sit near highways or other noise sources. "There's a shooting range near the property, so at all hours you will hear target practice going on, especially in the wee early hours," reports a visitor to Pinch Pond. Request sites farther from roads when making reservations.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Thousand Trails Hershey offers multiple play areas with newer equipment. "The playgrounds are great and well-maintained with seemingly new equipment," notes one camper. Most playgrounds close at dusk, so plan afternoon activities accordingly.
Swimming options: Many campgrounds have pools open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. "Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it," comments a Stonybrook visitor. Some campgrounds charge additional fees for pool use, so confirm costs before arrival.
Kid-friendly activities: Scheduled events keep children entertained during peak season. "There was bingo, crafts, a vendor craft show, hot dog eating contest for adults and kids, candy scramble in the dark for adults and kids," describes one family at Appalachian Camping Resort.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: The mountainous terrain creates uneven sites at many campgrounds. "We were unaware that our site was a buddy site...we had no choice but to park farther down on the site to avoid our awnings touching and that left us very uneven. It was a hill and no matter how many times we adjusted, we just could not get leveled," shares an RVer about Appalachian Camping Resort.
Access considerations: Entrance roads can present challenges for larger rigs. "Just one thing—the entrance made for a challenging entry up a steep grade, narrow roadway, and sharp turn in. I made it without problems, but it wasn't easy in a 45' motorhome towing a Jeep," advises a Stonybrook RV Resort visitor.
Site spacing: RV campgrounds near Barnesville vary widely in how close sites are positioned. "The sites are nice, albeit, pretty close to each other," notes a visitor to Pine Hill RV Park. Research site dimensions before booking larger rigs.
