State parks and private campgrounds surround Belleville, Pennsylvania, creating a diverse camping environment across the central Pennsylvania landscape. Greenwood Furnace State Park offers tent sites, RV spots, and limited glamping options approximately 15 miles from Belleville, while Reeds Gap State Park provides a more rustic camping experience with tent sites and basic RV accommodations about 14 miles away. Several developed campgrounds including Waterside Campground and RV Park and Seven Mountains Campground feature cabins, full hookup RV sites, and standard tent camping areas positioned throughout the wooded, rolling terrain.
Access to campgrounds in the Belleville area varies with the season, with most state parks operating from mid-April to October or November. Some private facilities like Waterside Campground remain open year-round. Cell phone coverage can be limited at more remote locations, particularly at Penn Roosevelt State Park and Greenwood Furnace. Water availability differs significantly between developed and primitive sites, with several campgrounds offering drinking water, electric hookups, and shower facilities. Advance reservations are recommended for weekend stays during summer months when campgrounds frequently reach capacity. A recent reviewer noted, "This campground helped me finally convince my fiance that not all 'campgrounds' are actually waterpark/family fun/RV parking lots, and that there are a lot of secluded, forest, nature-oriented campgrounds!"
Lakefront and waterfront camping represents a significant draw in the region. Seven Points Campground at Raystown Lake receives particularly high ratings from visitors who appreciate the water access and privacy of sites. "Beautiful beyond belief," wrote one camper about the Raystown Lake area, noting that "Point and Senoia [loops] have lots of shaded spots." Forested sites at state parks like Reeds Gap offer a more secluded experience with hiking trails and streams nearby. Most developed campgrounds provide fire rings, picnic tables, and access to bathhouses, while primitive areas may offer vault toilets only. Families particularly appreciate the playgrounds and recreational opportunities at larger facilities, though several reviewers mention seeking out more remote sites for greater privacy and a true forest camping experience.

GuideMore of a rustic trailer park than a campground with some long term residents. Owners were nice. "Bathhouse" has flush toilets but wasn't very clean. We don't fish but if you do this might be a place for you.
ScoutWe stayed at site #146 in Hosack Run. The campground itself is a small, pet friendly loop and has very nice bathrooms/showers that were very clean and appeared fairly brand new. There is a very small playground in the loop (just swings and seesaws) and Caledonia State Park itself has lots of nice hiking and history. It sits about 20 minutes outside of Gettysburg National Battlefield. The campsite itself (#146) was pretty abysmal. It is extremely small and looks like it was once the parking lot for the restrooms. You can still see the remnants of the painted yellow parking lines on the asphalt. Our small, 12 foot pop-up barely fit with just enough room for our tow vehicle. Also, your neighbor (site #144) sits right on top of you. Lastly, we stayed during a rainy Memorial Day weekend and learned that our former parking space of a campsite sits inside of a bowl in which all other campsites drains into creating a small lake around our firepit. The one plus side was that it is extremely close to the facilities. There are lots of other nice camp sites in this loop, but this was not one of them. I would choose this site again if I was extremely desperate to camp here and no other sites were available. 5 stars for the park, trails, and locale. 1 star for the campsite.
RangerGreat park, alittle close together than I like. I wish I had picked 1-12 sites by the creek, but I don’t think I had much choice when I booked anyway. Bathrooms were clean. My site was more of an rv and I felt like I was at the neighbors for supper.
RangerBeautiful park, pool and lake. Great for boating and fishing, running or hiking and swimming. In may, it wasn’t busy, but I can imagine it gets packed. I will be back for summer.
RangerPool, campgrounds area is so great. Don’t forget the bbq place up the street, it is so good! Getting the the bathrooms from my site will be more of a challenge once the campground fills up. Showers were a tad colder than I like but once the summer comes I would t mind it, I guess?
Finished some of the App trail from there
TravelerWell kept, clean facilities, easy to work with camp staff, we stayed at site 51 a full hook up site mostly level with a gravel pad short walk to the restrooms
RangerProbably my favorite due to the Store, the store employee and the App Trails. Will be back. My site was next to the amp trail which I didn’t particularly like, but my site was beautiful. WiFi available at Camp Store
RangerGreat Park, showers were cold and after the App Trail, A hot shower would have been awesome. Beautiful park though. My site was a little bit uneven but it looks like the park has been through an upgrade recently.
TravelerThis campground (now named "Orchard Station Campground" is under new management, and is open all year (I think). They are in the process of upgrading sites with new utility lines and level gravel pads.
Owner was very friendly & helpful.
Allowed me to charge my Rivian onsite (I paid him for the extra power).
Adjacent huge cemetery site is accessible via a goat path at the back of the campground and provided a great place to walk our dog every day.
We were attending the Alleghany Ukulele Soiree at the Altoona Grand Hotel, and this was a perfect spot (less than 5 minutes away).
Will definitely return!!
