    "Our first experience was spectacular- we had a site set back from the road surrounded by mountain laurel and ferns. The second site we tried was a tad too close to the road, hence the 4-stars."

    "Nice little spot with no one around. Maybe 2-3 cars passed on the SF road each day. Primitive camping with picnic table and fire ring - that’s it. Have to carry your gear from your car a little ways."

    Hersheypark Camping Resort

    Very clean campground friendly staff

    We stay here once a year in September. Stone surface. Not to bad for leveling. Our site was spacious.

    Rothrock Roadside Campsites — Rothrock State Forest

    Nice spot to camp in the mountains

    First I'll just say that the Rothrock campsites should probably each be listed separately, rather than as a group; they are very spread out throughout the State Forest and each is a different experience.  This review will be for site 002 Colerain Road.  

    This site is accessed by driving up a bit of a winding dirt road up the mountain.  It's easy enough during the summer, though the road is narrow and you've got some sharp bends depending on which way you come from.  This road is not safe to access in the winter in my opinion.  

    The parking is just right off the road, and there's a picnic table and large stone fire ring near the parking.  There's a small path further up the hill into the woods where there is a tent pad, another fire ring and another picnic table.  There are also a lot of flat spots nearby for additional tents to be set up.  

    Just behind the upper tent site is the top of the mountain, and the site has their own private overlook to the valley below.  The site is pretty remote, though there were vehicles and the occasional biker coming up the road.  Traffic may have been busier than usual the weekend we went because there was the Mid Atlantic Overland festival nearby at the same time.  At one point a family parked in the campsite's parking to start a walk... (there's a better trailhead up closer to Indian Lookout they should have used).

    No hookups, water, bathrooms, etc; its fully primitive camping here.  Cell coverage was fine on Xfinity Mobile (Verizon). 

    These sites used to be totally free but they're now $10 a night.  You still need to book a while out if you want to be here on a weekend, especially during the fall when Penn State is playing.

    Deer Run Campgrounds

    Good for kids

    It's very nice here, good for kids, big pool. The sites for campers are very tight.

    Riverside Campground & Riverside Roadhouse

    Great location & proximity to Williamsport

    Came thru for a night and wanted to catch a game at the Little League World Series. Stayed here one night and caught an uber to the museum and game. Got the last site for the night. Did a few loads of laundry, ate a good dinner at the restaurant, kids enjoyed the pool and swam in the river. Big huge park and tons of grassy areas. Really lovely. Nice staff.

    Ravensburg State Park Campground

    Use lat and long to find peaceful woods by stream

    Nice and shaded! No one there but us in site 6, not even a ranger checked on us. Has modern toilets and shower. Most sites are spacious. They have nice raised tent pads. It’s very humid so many picnic tables have green moss.

    First come first serve but still had to pay transaction fee! which was annoying for our one night stay as if rather the state parks get that.

    Use lat and long coordinates for directions or you will be in the wrong spot.

    Reeds Gap State Park Campground

    Awesome !

    Stayed here on a Sunday night without a reservation. We were the only ones there. Pay by honor system at the park office. Campground was quiet and lovely. Only 14 sites. Bathroom with hot showers is nearby. One shower stall in each bathroom and the showers had a large dressing area. Water is near the picnic pavilion.

    Convenient and spacious

    Pull thru sites are large and have plenty of space. Location is crucial venues to I-80 but no traffic noise. Friendly staff

  • Family-Friendly Atmosphere: Knoebels Campground is known for being great for families. One reviewer said, "This place is awesome for the kids. You camp right at the park."

What you should know:

  • Limited Cell Service: Many campgrounds, like Black Moshannon State Park Campground, have poor cell service. A camper noted, "Verizon and AT&T cell service were basically non-existent."
  • Tight Campsites: Some sites, especially at Hersheypark Camping Resort, can be quite close together. One visitor mentioned, "The ONLY good thing this RV park has going is the Hershey park bus that runs all day back and forth."
  • Seasonal Amenities: Be aware that some amenities may not be available year-round. For example, Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground is open from the 2nd Friday in April to October 31.

Tips for camping with families:

  • Choose Family-Friendly Campgrounds: Look for places like Caledonia State Park Campground, which has a clean and nice restroom facility. A reviewer said, "The restrooms at this park, while they are older, they are clean and pretty much in good order."
  • Plan Activities: Make sure to plan activities like swimming or hiking. One family enjoyed, "The lake is very nice and it's a very family park!"

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Levels: Some sites, like those at Pine Grove Furnace State Park Campground, can be uneven. A reviewer noted, "The sites are nicely spaced except for a few that are tucked into a few odd-shaped places."
  • Bring Extra Supplies: Campgrounds like Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground may not have markets nearby. One camper advised, "The store is really just a small carry out with a few things, so bring everything you are planning to have in with you."
  • Use Dump Stations Wisely: Make sure to utilize dump stations effectively, especially if you're at a campground like Seven Points that has limited facilities. A visitor mentioned, "Get water at the dump station on the way in!!! Easier than trying to attach to the spigots on the loop."
