Best RV Parks & Resorts near Howard, PA

Bald Eagle State Park offers two distinct RV campgrounds near Howard, Pennsylvania, with the Russell P. Letterman Campground providing full hookup sites from April through mid-December and the Primitive Camping Area featuring electric, water, and sewer connections from May to mid-October. The Bellefonte Campground, with 87 sites, accommodates big rigs with full hookups including 30/50 amp electrical service on level gravel pads. Pear Tree Cove specializes exclusively in RV camping with big-rig friendly sites featuring full hookups, while River's Edge RV Park provides electric and water hookups in a more intimate setting. "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," noted one visitor to the Bellefonte-State College KOA, which offers various RV site options on terraced terrain.

Navigation to some RV parks requires attention, particularly in mountainous areas where roads can include sharp turns and elevation changes. Cell service varies significantly across the region, with one reviewer noting, "Cell service is extremely limited to non-existent" at Black Moshannon State Park. Most RV campgrounds in the area are seasonal, typically operating from April through October or November, though Waterside Campground and RV Park remains open year-round. Sanitary dump stations are available at most locations, with Seven Points featuring "an ultra-cool 4 lane dump station" according to one camper. Pet-friendly sites are common throughout the area's RV parks, though some state park campgrounds restrict pets to designated sections. Fall weekends fill quickly, especially during Penn State football games when the Bellefonte-State College KOA becomes particularly crowded.
