Best Tent Camping near Everett, PA

650 Reviews

Tent campsites near Everett, Pennsylvania offer a mix of established campgrounds and primitive options along waterways and forested areas. Star Lee Farm provides tent-specific camping with basic amenities including drinking water, showers, and toilets on its three designated sites. Warriors Path State Park Campground, located in James Creek, offers tent camping with electric hookups and reservable sites. Long Acres on Clover Creek provides a more rustic experience with tent sites situated along a scenic waterway.

Most tent campgrounds in the region feature fire rings and picnic tables, though amenities vary significantly between locations. Star Lee Farm provides trash collection and firewood for purchase, while more primitive sites like Nancy's Boat To Shore Campground offer minimal facilities with just toilets and picnic tables. Drive-in access is common at established campgrounds, though some areas like Long Acres on Clover Creek also offer walk-in options for those seeking more seclusion. Seasonal considerations include potential closures during winter months, particularly at higher elevations or state-managed properties. A recent review noted that "the secluded area combined with the creek nearby made for a great escape from reality" at Long Acres on Clover Creek.

The tent camping experience in the Everett area benefits from proximity to water features and forested settings. Many sites provide access to hiking trails and fishing opportunities, with Long Acres on Clover Creek offering nearby access to state game lands and fishing spots. Star Lee Farm features a large open field ideal for stargazing, with one visitor mentioning that "there's a huge field to star gaze as well as taking pictures, lots of hiking." Tent campers should note that train noise can be a factor at some locations, particularly those near rail lines. Sites typically provide adequate spacing between campers, with Star Lee Farm and Long Acres on Clover Creek receiving positive reviews for their privacy and peaceful settings.

    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.

    Kooser State Park Campground

    Small Shaded Park

    Kooser State Park is a small campground nestled in the Laurel Highlands, close to Hidden Valley and Seven Springs ski resorts. The park has great amenities just a short walk from all sites. All sites have fire rings, with grills, however note they are double walled so do not expel a lot of heat outward. Great for cooking however. 

    Most sites are not level, but very grassy. Firewood is available at the entrance for$5 bundle supporting a local club. A beautiful walk through the park leads you to the Kooser Lake, great for fishing. It is also close to the Laurel Hill State Park which is great for hiking and water activities. The park is close to the road so you will experience some road noise. 

    The park is 15min from Somerset. No phone reception at this one! They welcome all furry friends!

    Duman Lake County Park

    Nice local park

    Duman lake review notes.

    • Well-maintained small park, stocked lake, popular with local fisherman. Kayaking/small boat fishing. I’ve seen bald eagle and osprey.
    • Six campsites, w/mature trees, level, w/paved drive & gravel area, large enough for mid-sized RVs. They state 40 ft., but all are back in. All have (lighted)30 amp & water. We did not see the tent sites. Not sure if they are developed, ask.
    • Number one is closest to the bathhouse, number five was less shaded. Number six is closest to the road.
    • Newer restroom, w/two stalls each. Push-button, hot showers. Men’s worked best.
    • Campsite number one is closest to restroom, but also behind picnic shelter number 12, so if the shelter is booked for a party could be noisy? Day use people bugged out quickly at dusk.
    • We were in #1 in May & had the entire campground & upper park to ourselves.
    • They have a kids’ train in summer.
    • Nice playground.
    • The only real downside of this campground is that the local road is close by and you do get some traffic noise before dark. It is not a high traffic road however. Dumpsters were overflowing with weekend trash & bathrooms needed a bug sweep-out. Sportsmen were target shooting nearby before dark FYI.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport MD

    Great place for kids

    Camp site (Tent camping)

    Camp site was pretty spacious. We set up our tent on gravel. No hookups to electricity or water. Rangers deliver firewood for your convenience.

    Facilities / Amenities

    Huge pool divided into two sections, one for mainly kids and the other for swimming and water slides. There is a food court in the swimming pool and a camp store right next to it.

    They play movies every night at the outdoor theater near the pool.

    There is a basketball court, playgrounds, and jumping pads.

    During the day, we did tie dying t-shirts at the pavilion.

    There is a 18-hole mini golf course as well.

    Laurel Hill State Park Campground

    Forested State Park in the Laurel Highlands

    August 2020 Stay

    We camped for 1 night.  We chose site 102 because it looked decent in the picture and seemed a little apart and more private than other areas.  Unfortunately, it was not great for tent camping as there wasn't really a spot to set up our 4-person tent.  We squeezed it in by the fire pit, but if we had wanted to use the fire pit it would have been a fire hazard.  Elsewhere in the site it was rocky or uneven ground.

    Looking around the rest of the campground, the loop up near the cabins was a typical RV area with sites lined up with little privacy in between.  I would look at the other loops for our next tent-camping visit.

    We were hoping to do some hiking in the morning but got rained out.  However the trails looked nice and we hope to be back soon.

    Rocky Gap State Park Campground

    Best Suited for Families

    I grew up camping with my family at Rocky Gap every summer. The best feature of Rocky Gap is the versatility of the campgrounds. There are options for RV camping with electric, tent spots, small cabins, and the resort if you would rather have a more comfortable resort experience. Pets are allowed in a select few loops.

    They have a range of activities available including a large lake to swim, fish or paddle. There are a few trails for hiking, at least 2 small “beach” areas off the lake with play grounds and a camp store. You can also go over to the casino resort for entertainment and food.

    Alcohol is not permitted outside of the resort which is partly why I say this camping experience is better for families. Rangers routinely monitor the site loops and there is a quiet hours period, I believe starting at 10pm and you will have a ranger pull up on you if you do not adhere.

    CAMPSITES BREAKDOWN:

    Type: Gravel Vehicle Accessible: Yes Size: ~ 1 large tent or 2 compact tents. Most are the same size, fairly small spots. Bathroom: Communal bathhouses in the middle of each loop with toilets, sinks and showers. Fire pit: Yes, with grill grate. Firewood: Must buy firewood at camp store. Water access: Some, depending which part of the loop your site is located on. Electric: No unless RV camping. Alcohol Policy: Not permitted unless drinking in the Resort or a motor home. Other Features: Picnic table, small wood post counter / hook to hang a lantern on and place a camp stove on.

    Fifteen Mile Campground — Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park

    Along the canal...

    This park is about half way on a trip form NC to NY I take and it is a great way to split a long day into two nice days.

    Fifteen Mile Creek is part of the larger C&O Canal park. If I remember correctly it winds its way for about 150 miles. For this portion, at least, the campground is good and the tow path along the canal is great for a run and quite scenic. There are spots along the canal for through hikers and bikers to camp and various drive up spots. 

    About the campground:

    - 6 or 8 campsites reservations are a good idea

    - picnic tables and grills / fire rings

    - two pit toilets

    - no showers

    It is right next to a boat launch and parking lot.

    Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area

    Quite time

    I’ve lived in Hedgesville all my life and have camped around Sleepy creek lake many time. It’s not till recently that we’ve started overlanding that I’ve realized what a gem we have in our back yard. It’s very peaceful, at least every time I’ve gone. Amazing views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Most of the sites are kinda spread out for the most part but the ones closest to the waters edge are more difficult to find level ground for tent camping. If you’re looking for remote and primitive camping, this is the perfect spot.
