12 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds operate within 30 miles of Glen Campbell, Pennsylvania. Rustic Acres RV Resort in Shippenville provides 100 sites with full hookups including 30/50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. The resort remains open year-round with amenities suited for extended stays. Mirror Lake RV Camping & Fishing in New Florence offers water and electric hookups with 30-amp service on sites that accommodate various RV sizes, operating from April through October.

Fall and summer represent peak seasons for RV travel in western Pennsylvania, requiring advance reservations at most parks. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region's campgrounds, with several reviews mentioning poor Verizon coverage at locations like DuBois. Most established RV parks provide sanitary dump stations, though not all sites include sewer hookups. Many campgrounds welcome pets with designated pet-friendly sections. Navigation to some mountain campgrounds involves navigating narrow roads with elevation changes. Some RV sites at Prince Gallitzin State Park feature paved pads suitable for larger rigs, though the campground only operates from April through October. As one camper noted, "All sites are paved as are the roads. Bathrooms are fairly modern and clean."
"Unlike most RV resorts this place is small and wooded. Has free Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms and an awesome community hub room for work from home or playing games."
"They have a wooded walking trail that passes a creek. The game lands are also close by. The top level has year round sites, which is a big bonus!"
from $39 - $69 / night
from $32 / night
"Staff drives around periodically on a ranger and can be flagged down if help is needed. There is a fishing pond on site for the kids to fish."
from $40 / night
"Located in Rock Run Recreation park, our site (#14) was not the greatest, it had a lot of length, but no real level side room, fell downhill when exiting the camper lol."
from $20 - $35 / night
"We were there for one of the first weekends of the season, and we enjoyed every bit of our trip."
"The campgrounds are very nice they have a pool as well as a community building and camp store."

"We've stayed at Kalyumet on our travel trailer at least a dozen times over the last several years. We love it because it's not huge but has all the amenities that we like."
"We enjoyed the pool the walking/hiking trails, a trip into Cooks Forest, and even spent some time at the arcade (costs money)."
"This campground is by far my favorite private campground. If you have been to this campground greater than 2 years ago, it is time to check it out again."
"The store front has anything you can think of, and the playground is conveniently located. The swimming pool is always cold but feels great on a nice hot day"
from $40 - $245 / night
from $35 - $55 / night
"This KOA is way back in the woods. Love it. Rock sites mostly level. Most sites are huge. Dog run is ok and have to walk a good was to the trash bin depending on campsite. Will be back."
"This campground has a ton of sites and a lot of permanent camper trailers. The tent sites were open and close together so there wouldn't be much privacy during the busy season."
ScoutThis is our second time staying here. Each time in October. We love it. Unlike most RV resorts this place is small and wooded. Has free Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms and an awesome community hub room for work from home or playing games. The weekends are busy but during the week it’s so quiet and peaceful. Close to so many attractions and parks that are part of the PA Wilds. Would definitely recommend.

Scoutbeautiful site and campground ground. peaceful. quite. and the showers were excellent!
LegendWe 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.
GuideVery 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.
TravelerStayed the weekend for the first time and it wasn’t bad! There were kids playing at sites nearby but that was all the noise, highway noise at all! I like how they have a spot for your tent with a picnic table and fire ring. I was in my rooftop tent on my truck so I wish the parking spot went back a little deeper for a little more privacy. But it was nice that there was bathrooms and showers within a 1 minute walk from the site! Also it says on here there is no AT&T signal, that’s not true…it’s not great but there is a bar or 2 at times!
ScoutAdvertised as a family camp but very far from it. I’ve watched this camp progressively get worse as the years go on, over priced camp with zero efforts to make anything worthwhile, run down play grounds, broken toilet paper roll holders in the bathrooms of the shower house, roads that make you feel like your off road. Owner plans “events” and then wants campers to pay for overpriced food. The owner complains nobody comes to events anymore but barely comes to them herself. The owner is VERY money hungry! And most importantly it’s home to a sex offender who the owner cherishes dearly.
It’s a shame to see how many people realized how terrible this camp was and are selling their camps because of it. The owner should open her eyes and realize she’s the reason people don’t want to be there anymore !!!
ScoutCant have no fun or drink.kids get yelled at all the time..owner sneaks around looking in campers at night..they watch every thing you do. Then they throw you out because your having to much fun. Or your up after 10pm..what a joke....please dont do nothing wrong.because.youll be on the shitlist...they are very very racist ,dont ever take a black child or try to get a place to stay or even put a tent up ,cause if your Black ,they tell you their is no room for u or a tent..STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE,ITS A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES AND THEY DONT WANT NO BLACS IN THEIR CAMP GROOUND AT ALL..GO UP THE ROAD..THEY ARE NICER THERE...
ScoutPerfect little campsite with voting access fishing rod says and very clean showers
State Park facilities and private campgrounds surrounding Glen Campbell, Pennsylvania accommodate a range of camping styles across the region's mixed hardwood forests at elevations ranging from 1,300 to 1,800 feet. Local camping areas experience typical Appalachian seasonal patterns with summer highs averaging in the mid-80s and winter temperatures frequently dropping below freezing. Autumn camping presents colorful foliage displays while spring brings variable conditions with frequent rainfall.
Fishing opportunities: Prince Gallitzin State Park features a large lake with multiple fishing spots accessible from the campground. "Very nice state park in PA. Huge lake for water sports, scenic trails, small dirt bike oval track," reports one visitor at Crooked Run Campground.
Creek exploration: Several campgrounds offer stream access where kids can wade and play. At Mirror Lake RV Camping & Fishing, many sites border a small creek. "A lot of their sites are along a small creek which the kids play in and can float down. Site 26 is our favorite. It has a huge back yard and easy access to the creek," notes one regular camper.
Family activities: Organized weekend events keep younger campers engaged. "We were thrilled to find they had a children's program on Saturday mornings. Our children had a ball making crafts, playing games, finding items on a scavenger hunt and of course snacks!" writes a visitor to Rustic Acres RV Resort.
Community atmosphere: Family-owned campgrounds foster a neighborly environment. "We stayed a week and absolutely loved it. I can't remember when we were at a campground where everyone said hi and waved to each other," notes one Rustic Acres camper.
Clean facilities: Maintained bathrooms and common areas rank highly in camper satisfaction. At Rvino - Campers Paradise, visitors appreciate the attention to detail: "There is a ton of things to do. Beautiful cabins," and "The store front has anything you can think of, and the playground is conveniently located."
Pool access: Several rv sites near Glen Campbell, Pennsylvania offer swimming facilities during summer months. "The pool is probably one of the cleanest," reports a visitor to Kalyumet Campground, though noting some concerns about pool monitoring.
Site layout variations: Campgrounds differ significantly in spacing between sites. At Kalyumet, some campers report: "Most of the sites are pretty close together," while others note: "Hook ups are extremely far away from sites. Our family loved Kalyumet but our only complaint would be the site we were in (11) and others next to it were quite far from the water and cable hookups."
Seasonal closures: Most campgrounds near Glen Campbell operate from April through October. Prince Gallitzin State Park specifically runs "2nd Friday April to last Monday October" according to park information.
Variable cell coverage: Mobile reception can be spotty throughout the region, particularly in more remote campsites. While the state park campgrounds generally maintain better connectivity, private facilities in wooded settings may have limited signal strength.
Water pressure concerns: During peak camping weekends, some facilities experience utility limitations. "Later that day the water was getting worse, it is gray in color! This is not just ground water!" reported one dissatisfied camper at a local campground.
Playground access: Choose sites near recreational amenities for convenience with children. "Great place for kids! We love staying at crooked run campground. Has a beach on the lake. Affordable boat rentals. BMX track for kids," notes a camper at Prince Gallitzin State Park.
Weekend program scheduling: Many campgrounds offer structured activities on weekends. "Our family stayed in one of the cabins while friends were in their campers. The cabin was great, very clean and cozy. The campgrounds are very nice they have a pool as well as a community building and camp store. We had 8 kids and 8 adults who all had a blast playing on the playground, floating down the creek, swimming in the pool, riding bicycles etc."
Group camping options: For larger family gatherings, certain facilities offer specialized arrangements. "We used the group tent sites for our Girl Scout weekend. It was a fun weekend. The site was clean, decently level area for tents, accessible to potable water and bathrooms with showers."
Site selection strategy: For campers with larger RVs, state park facilities often provide more suitable spaces. "All sites are paved as are the roads," notes a Prince Gallitzin visitor.
Hookup preparation: RV campers should carry extended utility connections. "Some sites require over 50' of hose and multiple power cords to reach power box due to the great amount of trees providing good shade throughout camp ground," advises a Kalyumet visitor.
Convenience factors: Some RV sites near Glen Campbell, Pennsylvania prioritize ease of access to interstate highways. Rustic Acres RV Resort receives positive feedback for its location: "We are traveling across country. This campground is easy access to I80, less than 10 minutes. It is very clean, amazingly helpful staff, mix of seasonal, weekly, and overnight."
