Best RV Parks & Resorts near Driftwood, PA

356 Reviews

RV campgrounds near Driftwood provide various hookup options and site designs across the Pennsylvania Wilds region. High Pines RV Park offers 149 sites with electric, water, and sewer connections, while Hicks Run accommodates RVs in a more primitive setting without hookups. Riverview Campsites features 61 sites with water and 30-amp electric service, and Austin Campground provides full-hookup options including 50-amp service. RV sites throughout these parks are generally arranged on terraced or sloping terrain, requiring careful positioning for leveling. Some parks maintain gravel pads while others feature concrete pads at premium sites. "Some sites are not level at all and others are sloped such that you have to pull all the way forward into your site to get level," noted one reviewer.

Throughout the region, many RV sites feature picnic tables and fire rings, with varying degrees of privacy and spacing between neighbors. Several parks offer seasonal stays with full hookup RV sites available year-round at Austin Campground, while others close during winter months. Pull-through RV pads are limited and typically fill quickly on summer weekends and during fall foliage season. Navigation to some parks requires traveling narrow mountain roads with tight turns, particularly at Upper Campground where reviews note "if you have a large rig it's a tight fit." Dump stations are available at High Pines and Riverview, while parks like Lumber City RV Park provide sewer hookups directly at sites. Cell service varies significantly across the region, with stronger signals near Kane and weaker coverage in more remote locations.

    Bellefonte-State College KOA

    Very Nice KOA

    We stayed here over a weekend and the campground was packed because there was a Penn State football game. Once the weekend was over, the park cleared out and it felt like there was more space and it was much quieter. Our site was the only one available for that weekend and it was a premium with a large paved patio with a nice outdoor patio set with table and chairs, a swing, and a sunken fire pit. We loved this deluxe site but they are a lot pricier than the standard ones. 

    The park is fairly small but has some really nice sites. There are 91 RV sites to choose from as well as tent sites, cabins, and “lodges.” Some are pull-thru and back-in sites ranging from full hookup deluxe, full hookup 50A, full hookup 30A, and water/30A only. The campground is built on a hill and sites are terraced. Some pull-thru sites have a very steep short hill to go up which made for some RV’s scraping bottom. The section in the front of the park is open with spotty trees; whereas, sites in the back of the park are tucked in the woods and are a lot more private. Roads in the back section are narrow and the sites are not very long and suitable for small campers. Some sites are not level at all and others are sloped such that you have to pull all the way forward into your site to get level. 

    Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. There are about 45 cable channels. Satellite reception at some sites would be difficult as trees would interfere. There is free Wi-Fi at each site which worked well at our site (#32). Amenities include a covered pavilion, off-leash dog park, camp store, swimming pool, playground, basketball/volleyball courts, and fishing pond. We were there during the off-season but apparently there is lots going on in the summer with hayrides, treasure hunts, Sunday morning pancakes, and a splash pad. 

    This KOA is close to historic sites, Amish markets, Penn State and a couple of state parks. For outdoor adventure, visit and hike Bald Eagle and Black Moshannon State Parks. Black Moshannon has great trails and a wonderful lake to kayak. The creamery on Penn States campus is delicious. Visit Mt Nittany or other wineries which have pretty good wine. Overall, it was a good place to stop and generally we liked the park. The price listed above was for a deluxe full hookup site (which included a paved patio, sunken fire pit, patio furniture, and a swing) and not a standard site.

    Parker Dam State Park Campground

    Very nice state park campground

    Black Moshannon State Park Campground

    No cell, no problem!

    General: 73-site campground; most have electric hookups, and some are FHU. Pets are only permitted at selected sites. There are also 20 (13 rustic and 6 modern) cabins. Cell service is extremely limited to non-existent (Verizon). 

    Site Quality: Pads are gravel and most appeared to be level. Site 70 was at the end of the loop which is why we picked it. A picnic table, fire ring, and lantern hook complete each site. 

    Bathhouse: As has been our experience in all PA state parks, the bathhouse was pristine, and the shower (for no additional cost) was clean with plentiful hot water and was very much appreciated. 

    Activities/Amenities: Coin-operated laundry. A playground is in the campground and there is an additional one at the swimming beach. The swimming beach is open from mid-May to mid-September, from 8 am– sunset. Electric motorboats are permitted on Moshannon Lake. Boat rentals are available in season. Permits are required. 24 miles of hiking trails, including two trails directly from the campground to the lake. In the summer, there is a camper store/concession stand. Hunting is allowed in season. There are 4.3 miles of mountain biking trails. 

    I used to think Oregon State Parks were the best, but Pennsylvania State Parks have them beat by a mile. We have yet to be disappointed by the amenities(especially the clean bathrooms) offered at the half-dozen state parks we have visited so far.

    Happy Acres Resort

    Nestled in the mountains of PA

    Stayed for 5 nights with a partial hook up for our brand new 32 foot travel trailer. Other reviewers had mentioned that sites were small, so we specifically asked for a larger site. We ended up getting a corner site right on the edge of a hill looking down on the main office and playground. It was perfect. Playground was huge with multiple playsets suitable for all ages. Bathrooms/showers we're clean and well kept. There was a basketball court, shuffleboard and carpet pool that you could borrow equipment for. Our son and his family rented a wolf den cabin and it was very clean as well. Internet access was spotty, as expected but WiFi at the main office was good. We enjoyed the small, but very clean pool. Would definitely go back. Pet friendly, but there isn't a dog park/off leash area. Staff were friendly and helpful. Right across the street from little pine state park.

    Leonard Harrison State Park Campground

    Site 17 Site maps can be deceptive

    General: This is a small 28-site campground located on the east rim of the canyon; seven of the sites are electric and six of them are pet-friendly. We reserved site 17 after looking at the site map because it looked like there was a generous amount of separation between this site and the surrounding ones, however, upon arrival, this was not the case. Although some of the sites are generous in size, there is no physical separation between them. Site 1 would, in my opinion, be the best of the non-electric sites for privacy. Sites 6 and 8, while close to the bathhouse, would likely have people walking through your site to get to the bathhouse. Campers have worn a path between these sites to access it. Props to this park for having recycling bins for plastic, glass, and aluminum. While this park is open year-round, the campground is only open from the second Friday in April through the third weekend in October. 

    Site Quality: The parking pad is delineated by rocks but not very clearly defined. There is a generously sized picnic table and fire ring to complete the grassy site. 

    Bathhouse: Very clean (we have found most Pennsylvania state parks excel in their bathhouse cleanliness). Hot water (definitely appreciated on this cold weekend!) and one handicap accessible shower (but it was too cold while we were there to want to take a shower although it did look inviting). 

    Activities: Two hiking trails on the east rim where the campground is located. The Turkey Path was closed about ¾ mile down (by the waterfall) due to storm damage. Although the trail was clearly marked closed at this point, many chose to ignore it and continue on☹. This trail is challenging as it has steep switchbacks down and back up again and it is narrow and slippery but definitely worth doing. The Overlook Trail, while not long (less than a mile), is also challenging with down and uphills. If you don’t want to (or can’t) access these trails, there is an observation platform where you can enjoy great views of the canyon. All of these trails are accessible from the campground. There is also a long multi-use trail for hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. There is a nice playground accessible from the campground. 

    Conclusion: We were here the last weekend the campground was open and while the fall foliage was not experiencing the best year, it was still very beautiful at this park, and we enjoyed the hikes.

    Black Moshannon State Park Campground

    Beautiful and well appointed park

    Getting to the park had some sharp turns and windy roads.  Small campground but nicely equipped.  2 bath houses were dated but clean.  Nice playground at the campground and also one at the beach.  Small camp concessions with a few camping items as well as ice cream cones.  Great hiking and a beautiful lake for kayaking.  Site 22 is a full hookup.  Utilities worked nicely.  However, our picnic table had seen better days.  The site sat down off the road but once you were backed in the spot it was pretty level.  This site also had a separate tent pad located down a few stone steps.  Verizon and AT&T cell service were basically non existent.  Every once in a while a text would come in or send but very spotty.  Sorry I failed to get a pic of the site in the daylight.  It was spacious and we had plenty of room for our 30' trailer, truck, and easy up over the table.  6+ chairs around the fire pit, cooking ring could have been better.  Grassy area for cornhole or playing.

    Parker Dam State Park Campground

    Parker Dam State Park

    Real nice park that can get pretty busy on weekends. We arrived on a Thursday and, in advance, reserved one of the few remaining sites. Never used their facilities, but they looked nice. Electric only at our site. Both ATT & Verizon signals weren't bad. Wouldn't try to watch a movie or stream anything though. For the most part the sites were pretty level. Most pretty shaded, and there is also a pet section as well as a full hookup area. The full hookup, as normal are full sun for big rigs.

Guide to Driftwood

Camping options near Driftwood, Pennsylvania span across the Pennsylvania Wilds region at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,800 feet. The area experiences warm summers with average temperatures of 75°F and cold winters often dropping below freezing. Fall camping brings vibrant foliage but requires advance reservations as sites fill quickly during peak elk viewing season from mid-September through October.

What to do

Fishing access points: Multiple campgrounds offer direct water access including Kettle Creek State Park where "Fish right from your site and in most cases it's easy to launch your kayak also," according to Amber W. from Upper Campground.

Elk viewing opportunities: The region is known for its elk population, particularly near Benezette. "Saw 2 elk 100 ft from campground," reports Danielle at Hicks Run, while Kate A. mentions seeing "lots of elk right around the campground plus a bear that took a walk through the campground one evening" at Austin Campground.

Swimming spots: Natural swimming areas are available at select locations. Amber W. notes about Hicks Run, "There is a swimming hole in the small creek that's great! Kids loved it! Also the river is just down on 555 with a kayak launch."

What campers like

Secluded camping options: For those seeking privacy, several campgrounds offer isolated sites. Mary H. recommends site 71 at Upper Campground, calling it "the most removed of all the sites" and "totally private," adding it was "perfect" for their week-long stay.

Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness receives consistent praise. Amber W. notes Upper Campground's "shower houses have always been the cleanest and best maintained of any state park we have been too!" Similarly, Bob at Austin Campground highlights "clean restrooms and showers" among the campground's positive attributes.

Wildlife encounters: The Pennsylvania Wilds region delivers frequent wildlife sightings. Mary H. describes multiple encounters: "We went to Benezette to find elk (wild herd at dusk on Winslow Hill, complete with mama and baby--then three buck sauntering through town!)" and finding "a mama rattlesnake sunning on a back road."

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly throughout the region. Tyler R. at Riverview Campsites notes "No cell reception" at their campground, while Matthew F. mentions at Hicks Run "You're down in a hollow, so not the best reception."

Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons. As Amber W. observes about Hicks Run, "Sites reserved and it was booked solid for early trout season. I imagine same in the fall for elk viewing."

Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds require careful navigation. Amber W. cautions about Hicks Run, "When we were there last year there was a road closed sign on the left turn. If still there ignore it! The campground is before where the bridge is out!"

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several rv campgrounds near Driftwood, Pennsylvania offer recreation areas for children. Nick O. mentions at High Pines RV Park, "They have a game room that offers free games for the kids along with a playground and basketball court."
