Best RV Parks & Resorts near Dushore, PA

Pioneer Campground provides full hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer connections just outside Dushore, Pennsylvania. Most sites are spacious, level, and shaded, accommodating larger recreational vehicles including big rigs. "The sites are nice and big and the owners are very warm and welcoming," notes one camper who visited in May. Worlds End State Park Campground, located near Forksville, offers year-round RV camping with electric hookups, fifty-amp service, and water connections throughout its drive-in sites. Ricketts Glen State Park Campground features similar amenities with the addition of sanitary dump stations and sewer hookups, though some visitors mention an 18% grade hill that requires careful navigation when approaching the park.

Throughout the region, seasonal availability varies with some campgrounds like Pioneer operating from early April through early December. Campers should bring leveling blocks as reviews mention that while most sites are relatively level, slight adjustments may be needed on gravel pads. Cell service can be limited, particularly at Ricketts Glen where one RVer reported "NO cell service whatsoever, even using a booster I only got two bars." The remoteness of several parks means limited shopping options, with the closest grocery stores often 30 minutes away. Most campgrounds are pet-friendly with designated sites for those traveling with animals. Due to the mountainous terrain, approach roads can present challenges for larger motorhomes, requiring advance planning and slower speeds on steep grades.

    Williamsport South-Nittany Mountain KOA

    Great Four Day Camp

    We spent four nights here (May 13-17, 2022). This is a nice, well run, family oriented CG (a lot of kids on the weekend) with reasonably level pull through and back-in gravel sites (quite a few long term campers).

    There are many activities available: swimming pool, recreation hall, fishing pond, biking, hiking/walking, mini golf, jumping pillow, playground, basketball, shuffleboard and more. 

    The office store is nice (ice cream and pizza made to order!). The laundry room was clean. We did not make use of the bathrooms or showers.

    Golf carts are available for rent so there was a lot of traffic(some towing portable waste tanks).

    Pay attention to the Theme Weekend Events– they will be crowded and there could be an additional fee. We were charged$20 for the Care Camp Weekend.

    The cable TV and WiFi were good as was cell phone reception.

    We would stay here again.

    Stony MT Family Campground

    We’d do it again!

    Not cheap but we’ll within area norms. This camp has many long term campers that are friendly and helpful and some have children with them. Some full-time rigs are weekend campers. Some weekend events are planned. Most sites have full hookups with 50 amp electric only so if needed have an adapter (available at the small camp store. We had an unplanned extension on our visit that included a weekend where a group was scheduled and the park was booked including our site. The friendly staff worked to ensure a temporary site for us for the weekend.

    Pine Cradle Lake Family Campground

    Great campground in PA northern tier

    The owners do a fantastic job keeping the campground shipshape. Restrooms/showers are immaculate any time of day. Heated swimming pool and the splash pad for kiddies is spotless as well. Nice, pull-through on gravel pad withfull-hookups that can take large rigs. Lake is lovely for fishing/kayaks/canoes. Seasonal campers are tidy. Only a few tent sites with water & electricity tucked into woods. Larger pull-through sites don't get a lot of shade, but there are back-in sites for shorter campers in wooded sites and shaded lake front, as well. Campground store sells ice-cream & nachos and supplies. Campground is pretty quiet during the week, but fills up on weekends with guests using own (or renting) golf carts. Activities on weekends. The campground sits atop one of NEPA's "rolling hills" in quiet, rural farming area. Cell service is spotty. Local winery/cafe just down the road for tastings and lunch. Row boat, paddle boat rentals.

    Williamsport South-Nittany Mountain KOA

    Wooded campground

    Very wooded campground. Gravel pad was narrow so the picnic table was within two feet of the trailer side. We had a pull through site that was uneven front to back so that our tongue jack was all the way down to get level enough. Side to side it was fine. The playground was excellent. The camp store was new looking and well stocked. The staff was friendly.

    No breed restrictions for dogs. The dog park was good.

    Riverside Campground & Riverside Roadhouse

    Very Nice RV Park

    Very clean and we'll managed campground. Sites are a little close in some areas, but are nice. WSE at leach sure. There are cute cabins and a tent area. Great restaurant on site with music on weekends with local bands or DJs. New Owners have worked hard to improve the park. There are no permanent sites, but they do have seasonal sites. Everything from pop ups to big rigs can be seen. Nice clean pool and rest rooms. Clean well equipped laundry. Park is close to hiking, kayaking, canoeing, and larger and small towns. Huge playground ajoins the Park. Staff is friendly and helpful.

    Montrose Campground

    Family and pet friendly year-around campground

    We tried this campground a few times for short stays and ended up going seasonal last year and will do the same this year. It is a little off the beaten path but is great for families (plenty of activities for kids) and pets (our dog LOVES it there). They have a pool, fishing pond, hiking trails, mini golf, playground, large grassy areas for kids to play, and horseshoe pits. There is a store (stocked with grocery staples/snacks but also TONS of RV specific supplies/parts), laundry and showers (a new and improved bath house is currently being built). There are planned activities almost every weekend during the 'season' but they are open all year with some winter sites available. They have all sites available from tent right up to 50 amp full hook-ups. I can't wait for the new season to begin in April!

    Ricketts Glen State Park Campground

    A must do

    This is one of the best camping experiences we've had. This state park has so much to offer and the campground is very nice. The campsites are really good, most of them fairly private and level. There are some pull through sites for big rigs but those don't have trees and are not private. We had a site with power for our small trailer and it was fantastic. The bathrooms were kept very clean and they had 4 showers so we never had to wait. There is absolutely no cell service, however, and we had to go all the way down the mountain to get texts or make calls. The trails are very well maintained. If you want to do the Falls Trail ( 21 beautiful waterfalls), it is quite challenging. We were glad to have trecking poles and hiking boots. It took us over 4 hours to do the entire hike. There is a nice beach for swimming, the lake felt clean and wasn't too cold in July. Lake Jean is nice to kayak and there are quite a few tent sites you can launch your watercraft from, as well as 2 public launch sites. I was worried about the weather because it was 98 degrees in NJ but as the park is up in elevation, we did not get over the mid 80's the whole time we were there and the mornings were quite cool. I definitely recommend this park. It does get very busy on weekends so if you can stay during the week it's much nicer.

    Lackawanna State Park Campground

    Nice Lake, Small Campsites

    Camped here for a weekend, and probably one of my least favorite sites so far. Hiking trails are good, the lake is nice, but there is no privacy at the campsites; they're all very small and packed tight. Two electric hookups would trip the 50 amp circuit breaker on any load about 30 amps, which means the hookups are old and unmaintained. Park rangers are hawkish and quick to assume wrongdoing.

    Cell service covers the area, if you care. And no gas boats are allowed on the lake (cool!).


Guide to Dushore

RV camping near Dushore, Pennsylvania provides access to the scenic landscapes of the Endless Mountains region, where elevations range from 1,000 to 2,300 feet above sea level. Forests of maple, oak, and pine create dense canopies over most camping areas, keeping sites naturally cooler in summer months. The region receives approximately 42 inches of annual rainfall with heaviest precipitation typically occurring during summer thunderstorms.

What to Do

Hiking at waterfalls trails: Ricketts Glen State Park Campground offers 26 miles of trails with varying difficulty levels. "The hike is definitely not for the easily winded people, or anyone with bad knees, the hike down was pretty steep at some points but very well maintained," notes a visitor who explored the Falls Trail.

Fishing opportunities: Several camping areas provide access to trout streams and small lakes. Worlds End State Park Campground sits adjacent to Loyalsock Creek. A camper reports, "Plenty of hiking and swimming nearby. We always hit up the Forksville General Store for breakfast before we leave. The food is sooo good."

Swimming in natural settings: Pine Valley RV Park & Campground offers lake swimming with recreational amenities. "This is by far one of the best family oriented campgrounds we've ever been in. So many things for kids to do. From boating, to giant swimming inflatables, putt putt even a giant slide," writes one reviewer.

What Campers Like

Night sky viewing: The limited light pollution creates exceptional stargazing conditions. At Worlds End State Park Campground, a visitor mentioned, "The stars are incredible here! I usually come in the fall in October/early November. It's my favorite time to come because it's not extremely packed with campers and the leaves are beautiful."

Seasonal color changes: Fall camping offers vibrant foliage displays throughout the region. One camper at Pioneer Campground noted they "Camped in October 2020 for Halloween weekend. Nice hiking trail. Very clean. Owners are so friendly and helpful."

Privacy at select sites: Some campgrounds offer more secluded options. A Worlds End visitor advised, "The sites are spaced a decent amount apart and are generous in size. The pet-designated sites are close to the road, although there was not a lot of traffic."

What You Should Know

Limited connectivity: Cell service varies significantly by location and carrier. A reviewer at Ricketts Glen State Park Campground noted, "Site was pretty nice, but there is very little privacy as the sites are so close to each other. Also no service (Verizon)."

Water availability challenges: Some parks experience seasonal water issues. One Ricketts Glen visitor reported, "The water had been tested earlier in the season and unsafe levels of manganese were detected. All water spigots were shut off and covered but we were told it was safe to wash our dishes and brush our teeth."

Weather preparedness: Temperature fluctuations can be significant. A Worlds End camper advised, "If you come in the fall, make sure you bring a cold weather sleeping bag or heater because the temp does drop."

Tips for Camping with Families

Swimming options: Look for campgrounds with natural water features. At Pine Valley RV Park & Campground, "They have hayrides in the summer and swimming in the lake. Lakeside sites are spacious and reasonably priced."

Halloween festivities: Several campgrounds offer special autumn events. At Pioneer Campground, one visitor shared their tradition: "We started with a trip in the summer because of their candy bar hunt and heated swimming pool. We try to get the same campsite each year because it is wooded and spacious. In talking with the extremely friendly owners we found out about their Halloween activities."

Playground access: Many campgrounds provide play areas for children. At Moyers Grove Campground, a visitor noted the family-friendly amenities: "As two male adults we did not utilize many of the offerings (fish fry, ceramics painting class, rubber duck race, the pool, fishing pond, etc.)."

Tips from RVers

Leveling requirements: Bring adequate leveling equipment for uneven sites. An RVer at Indian Head Campground reported, "The pull through site was grass/gravel and level. It was a little muddy due to several days of rain before we arrived."

Water hookup distances: Be prepared with extra-long hoses at some locations. A visitor to Moyers Grove noted, "Make sure you have a LONG water hose. We actually had to buy a 50 foot hose in the camp store to accommodate the distance to the spigot."

Electrical considerations: Power capacity varies by campground. At Ricketts Glen, "Our full hookup site was large with table and fire ring, and required some leveling. Not much shade in the full hookup loop, so was happy to have electricity for A/C."
