Clearfield County Curwensville Lake Recreation Area welcomes pets at both tent and RV campsites with electric hookups. Several campgrounds near Curwensville maintain pet-friendly policies including Parker Dam State Park, Simon B. Elliott State Park, and Woodland Campground, all allowing dogs at their campsites and cabin accommodations. Most require pets to be leashed at all times, with typical restrictions limiting pets to 2-3 per site. The grounds at Curwensville Lake are clean and well-maintained with sizable camp areas for activities with pets. Campgrounds in the region generally provide designated pet waste stations, though campers should bring their own waste bags. Sites are typically spacious enough for pets without being right on top of neighboring campers, especially at Woodland Campground where the park-like setting offers more privacy.
Hiking trails throughout the Curwensville area provide excellent exercise opportunities for dogs. Woodland Campground features a lake where dogs can cool off, plus trails for walking pets through their beautiful park-like setting. Simon B. Elliott State Park offers fields, forested areas, and various walking paths ideal for dog exercise, while nearby Parker Dam State Park provides additional trail networks for longer hikes with pets. Campers report the area between these parks offers numerous options for dog walking. Local wildlife considerations require keeping pets leashed and supervised at all times. The Treasure Lake KOA, located within a gated community about 20 miles from Curwensville, offers a designated dog run area. Temperatures in Pennsylvania can fluctuate significantly, so campers with pets should plan accordingly, especially during summer months when shade becomes essential for pet comfort.

Enormous property, but...
We spent a long weekend for walks in the woods, seeing the fall colors, and all around a huge lake.
What We Liked:
- Even though the sites are sloped, they’re huge. I like that a lot.
- This property is enormous. They have a marina on the lake, a wedding facility, conference center, lots of cabins which look pretty good, and tent sites in addition to the RV sites. Go say hi to the goats behind the store. The property is amazing!
- If you’re interested, it’s a 90-minute drive to the Flight 93 Memorial— well worth the trip!
Things to Keep in Mind:
- The roads getting there are like a roller coaster. This isn’t the resort’s fault, but something you need to know if you’re going there.
- The sites are sloped. Took several blocks to get even close to level. I may be spoiled, but I really appreciate a level site.
- No sewer connection. There’s a dump station available, but just know the sites are water and electric only.
Would We Return?
- Probably not. It’s not fun driving in that area and there’s nothing much to do in the area.

Crooked Run Campground — Prince Gallitzin State Park
Very large CG. I car camped at site 066 (with electric) in mid-October and CG was 3/4 empty. Nice location on Glendale Lake with a beach and boat activities (for warmer months). Showers had no hot water but facilities were nice. Very little separation between sites. Nearby hunters discharging guns into evening hours.

Perfect Camping Spot Right on the River!
There were even pit toilets nearby, which is an absolute luxury when finding hidden gems like this one. Clearly marked free sites with fire pits. As a female solo traveler, I think it’s worth noting that I felt safe here. The gravel road has light traffic and the other sites are in “yelling distance” but not close enough where you feel like you have to find a super hidden spot to pee. If that makes sense.

Simple and Pleasant Boondocking
I booked this site via Harvest Hosts. They only accommodate boondocking for self-contained rigs. With that in mind, it was a pleasant stay. Quiet, friendly host, big rig friendly, dog friendly, and a little tasting room. We also got to meet the livestock.

Very nice and quiet. Shower and rest rooms were exemplary, clean and spacious
Great central location for exploring the area. Includes some of the darkest skies around for stargazing which was a plus for me. Staff and owners were very great! Highly recommend for a short or a long stay.

Clarion River Campground
Awesome camping area!
Only gave it four stars because it’s not so easy to find a spot, especially if you have an RV. We got pretty lucky with our spot seemed like the only one that was left but besides that amazing place. Site was relatively clean had a lot of eggshells and some toilet paper left over from the last campers in the tree line. Given the chance I would stay again!
