Several RV parks surround Lemont, Pennsylvania, with options ranging from full-hookup campgrounds to wooded sites with water, electric, and sewer connections. The Bellefonte Campground features 87 RV sites with big-rig friendly access, full hookups including 30/50 amp electrical service, and on-site dump stations. Waterside Campground and RV Park, open year-round, provides spacious gravel pads that accommodate larger rigs with full hookup options. Seven Mountains Campground, located in Spring Mills, offers big-rig friendly sites with water, electric, and sewer connections in a more wooded setting. River's Edge RV Park maintains electric and water hookups in a highly-rated 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 RV camper about their experience at Bellefonte-State College KOA.
Navigation to some RV parks in the region requires attention to road conditions, particularly those nestled in mountainous terrain. Cell service varies significantly between campgrounds - Black Moshannon State Park has extremely limited to non-existent coverage, while parks closer to State College maintain stronger signals. Most RV campgrounds in the area are pet-friendly with designated dog areas. Seasonal availability differs, with Bellefonte-State College KOA typically operating from April through early November, while others like Waterside Campground remain open year-round. The four-lane dump stations at Seven Points campground receive particular praise for their cleanliness and efficiency. During Penn State football weekends, RV parks throughout the region fill quickly, making advance reservations essential. Winter camping options are limited, with only a handful of parks maintaining full hookup capabilities during colder months.

Enormous property, but...
We 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.

Crooked Run Campground — Prince Gallitzin State Park
Very 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.

I would not recommend to anyone
This campground is nothing as stated in the reviews. And now I know why. The one review on here besides mine is from the owner. The bathrooms are not clean. I was told for Labor Day weekend I could stay for two nights had reserved and all. They then abruptly cancelled my reservation and took three days to respond and say I could have a different cabin and tent sight but would need to stay three nights because of the holiday. They also charged a cleaning for a service pet which is not legal. We then showed up and were the only people staying that weren’t seasonal site people and very not welcomed. The first comment made was here come the weekend warriors. We look at the cabin which was ironically filthy and covered in mouse poop yet we got charged a cleaning fee. The grass was not mowed the porter potty’s so gross bugs are crawling in the bottom. The camp store was closed during the car show they had and when we asked when it will be open they stated it will not. It was 1 pm on a Saturday. The reservation process was unorganized. The playground was not mowed or weed whacked and a slide is ratchet strapped together. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
christian G.GuideRussell P Letterman Campground — Bald Eagle State Park
Loved it
Its was great, we stayed in new area, sites had ample room, not many trees at our spot so summer there wouldnt be much shade but we were next to a retention pond/drainage. We brought our dig whole loved running through there.
Not much to say besides it was clean, not crowded (in November) and decent spacing between sites

Easy
It was overall good, Nice amenities, pool was clean (3ft-5ft) Splash pad, air pillow, playground, pond, etc
It has nice wooded areas but very compact, if you have a large camper id be concerned with trying to make some turns on the upper area

Disgusting
Where do I start?
We came to this campground to connect with family who was hiking the AT. We left after one miserable night. Here are some reasons:
A giant confederate flag near the entrance
Highway noise and not one but two train tracks
One Filthy “bathroom”
No shade at our campsite- despite other available sites with some shade
A trail of poison ivy on the narrow path to the river
Cigarette butts everywhere
And a creepy man on a bike who declared he was a local and wouldn’t leave our site while I was alone and insisted on talking to me about the strip club down the street, where to buy condoms and how my tent’s mesh shelf is perfect for drying out my wet panties.

Trashy
We called ahead of time to reserve two sites for two nights for a bunch of people from out of state and some hikers from the AT. They said it was $35 per site per night. When we arrived we were told that we had to pay for three nights because it was a holiday weekend AND that the price was per tent. The porta potties were gross and hadn’t been serviced in a while. It was difficult to use them. During a heat wave we were given a site with little shade when several sites further along with plenty of trees were empty. The plumbed bathroom was dirty and had no soap. The shop did not in fact sell love bait, which cramped our fishing style. There is a loud rail road with constant trains on one side and a very busy highway with loud trucks on the other. The river front was lovely, but with detritus from previous campers on the rocks. We left after one night.
Guide to Lemont
RV camping near Lemont, Pennsylvania offers a mix of established campgrounds in both forested settings and open landscapes. Lemont sits at approximately 1,200 feet elevation in Centre County's mountainous terrain, with camping options that range from rustic to full-service facilities. While many campgrounds maintain seasonal operations from April through October, several facilities remain accessible year-round despite the region's significant winter snowfall.
What to do
Fishing access points: The Juniata River at River's Edge RV Park & Campground provides direct water access for anglers. "The campground offers direct access to the river for afternoon floats on tubes or kayaks and they're building a large dock for fishing," notes a camper who recently visited this newer facility.
Outdoor movie nights: Some campgrounds offer unique entertainment options beyond standard activities. River's Edge RV Park is "literally right next door to a drive-in movie theater," providing a nostalgic evening activity after a day of outdoor recreation.
Hiking nearby state parks: Bald Eagle and Black Moshannon State Parks offer extensive trail networks within 30 minutes of most Lemont-area campgrounds. "For outdoor adventure, visit and hike Bald Eagle and Black Moshannon State Parks. Black Moshannon has great trails and a wonderful lake to kayak," reports a visitor to the region.
What campers like
Private woodland sites: Seven Mountains Campground offers secluded spots among trees, unlike some of the more open campgrounds. As one reviewer noted: "Nice, clean, friendly/accommodating staff and the prices were reasonable for the accommodations... Large covered front porch with again more lighting and a hanging swing."
Waterfront camping options: Waterside Campground and RV Park receives high marks for its riverside sites. "Absolutely beautiful if you are riverside. Staff was friendly and helpful. Typical overall, but clean and pretty. Stay on the waterside! Sites 48-53. Stayed at 49, it was absolutely perfection!" advises a camper.
Quality bathroom facilities: Multiple campgrounds have invested in upgraded shower and restroom facilities. At Raystown Lake / Saxton KOA at Four Seasons, a camper highlighted that "they have recently remodeled the bathrooms/showers (3 of the 4 look brand new), and the pool has been crystal clear."
What you should know
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the mountainous terrain require leveling equipment. At Bellefonte-State College KOA, "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."
Water pressure variability: RVers should be prepared for potential water pressure issues at some locations. One camper reported: "Then there was the water pressure… or lack of water pressure. Saying it trickled out would be generous."
Football weekend congestion: Penn State games create significant demand for camping sites throughout the region. "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."
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Many campgrounds offer recreational facilities specifically designed for children. River's Edge RV Park features "a nice children's playground" while other parks include pools, splash pads, and organized activities.
Animal attractions: Some campgrounds incorporate mini-farms or animal areas that appeal to younger visitors. At The Bellefonte Campground, "They have some animals, like goats, as well in a little farm area."
Educational programs: Certain parks partner with conservation organizations for youth-focused nature programs. At Timber Run Campground (formerly Four Seasons), one family reported: "Sunday we had pancakes and later a visit from RayCEP which is an education program that PA DNCR provides talking about various outdoorsy type things. This is primarily for kids, but we sat and listened too."
Tips from RVers
Premium site options: Several campgrounds offer upgraded site packages with additional amenities. At Bellefonte-State College KOA, premium sites include "a large paved patio with a nice outdoor patio set with table and chairs, a swing, and a sunken fire pit."
Size restrictions on wooded sites: Larger RVs may have difficulty accessing some of the more secluded camping spots. "Roads in the back section are narrow and the sites are not very long and suitable for small campers," notes a reviewer about Bellefonte-State College KOA.
Approach route considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging access roads or dangerous intersections. One RVer cautioned: "almost got killed getting just off the freeway to make the left turn towards the koa — please be careful. Traffic either side does not stop or slow, and they are going extremely fast."
