    Tiadaghton Campground — Tioga State Forest

    Very crowded with bikers

    Nice campsite and cool view but be prepared to have a lot of bikers walking around the campground or stopping for lunch at near by sites. Also would recommend 4 wheel drive vehicles to drive to site, steep dirt roads to access it. It has a nice water front view but if seclusion is something you would like this spot may not be for you.

    Leonard Harrison State Park Campground

    Small campground with clean bathrooms

    We stayed here Wednesday through Saturday of Labor Day weekend.  On Wednesday and Thursday nights there were about 5 sites that were taken. By Friday they were all full

    The campground is a simple loop of 28 sites.  19 are non -electric and 9 are electric. Sites are spacious and easy to back in to. I believe there are two pull throughs. Water spigots are continently located around the campground.  

    The PA Grand Canyon Visitor center and the Turkey Path (main path down into the canyon) are a short 5 minute walk across the parking lot from the campground.  For biking there is the  Pine Creek Rail Trail, that runs the length of the canyon at the bottom. To access from the campground you can drive there in 16 minutes Darling Run trail access area.

    Tiadaghton Campground — Tioga State Forest

    Tiadaghaton State Forest, PA

    Roadside site 1/4 mile from the nearest site. You can drive right to the site on Hackett Rd. Very secluded and peaceful. Picnic table and fire ring, but no water or latrine.

    Riverside Campground & Riverside Roadhouse

    Great location & proximity to Williamsport

    Came thru for a night and wanted to catch a game at the Little League World Series. Stayed here one night and caught an uber to the museum and game. Got the last site for the night. Did a few loads of laundry, ate a good dinner at the restaurant, kids enjoyed the pool and swam in the river. Big huge park and tons of grassy areas. Really lovely. Nice staff.

    Ravensburg State Park Campground

    Use lat and long to find peaceful woods by stream

    Nice and shaded! No one there but us in site 6, not even a ranger checked on us. Has modern toilets and shower. Most sites are spacious. They have nice raised tent pads. It’s very humid so many picnic tables have green moss.

    First come first serve but still had to pay transaction fee! which was annoying for our one night stay as if rather the state parks get that.

    Use lat and long coordinates for directions or you will be in the wrong spot.

    Reeds Gap State Park Campground

    Awesome !

    Stayed here on a Sunday night without a reservation. We were the only ones there. Pay by honor system at the park office. Campground was quiet and lovely. Only 14 sites. Bathroom with hot showers is nearby. One shower stall in each bathroom and the showers had a large dressing area. Water is near the picnic pavilion.

    Convenient and spacious

    Pull thru sites are large and have plenty of space. Location is crucial venues to I-80 but no traffic noise. Friendly staff


Guide to Loganton

Camping sites near Loganton, Pennsylvania offer rugged Appalachian wilderness experiences at elevations ranging from 700 to 2,000 feet. The region sits within the Bald Eagle Mountain range, creating distinctive forest camping environments dominated by hemlock, pine and mixed hardwoods. Most campgrounds remain open from April through October, though several facilities extend their season into November or December depending on weather conditions.

What to do

Stargazing opportunities: Raymond B. Winter State Park Campground provides exceptional night sky viewing with minimal light pollution. "The night skies were beautiful (starry starry night w/little light pollution) and trails galore leading directly from the campground," notes one visitor about the park's astronomy-friendly environment.

Creek exploration and swimming: Poe Paddy State Park Campground offers direct creek access for wading and exploration. A camper reports, "The creek is beautiful and the kids were so happy to play in it. We had site 108 and had a site path right to the creek." The natural waterways maintain cool temperatures even during summer months.

Hiking trail networks: Paths ranging from beginner to advanced difficulty connect many camping areas. "Amazing Hiking, Lots Of Fun, Nice Fishing, Friendly, And Nice Beach And Store," says one visitor about Raymond B. Winter State Park's trail system, which includes interconnected loops through dense forest terrain.

What campers like

Private, wooded campsites: Ravensburg State Park Campground features natural separation between sites. "There are bushes and trees between the sites and it feels very private. Sometimes it can feel too secluded but the park ranger drives through a number of times," explains a camper who appreciates the natural buffers.

Family-friendly amenities: Williamsport South-Nittany Mountain KOA offers extensive facilities for children. "The playground was fantastic and looked to be new, and there was a jumping pillow and a pool," writes one visitor. The campground also maintains a petting zoo with farm animals and scheduled activities.

Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds provide direct water access for anglers. "A great place to camp and spend time with family and friends, you can enjoy lots of trails and explore the woods, and also a great place to enjoy the night sky," notes a visitor to Raymond B. Winter State Park, mentioning the combination of fishing and exploration options.

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Many forest campgrounds have minimal connectivity. At Penns Creek Campground, "No Wi-Fi, no cell service, no camp store. Nearest town about 20 minutes and the liquor store closes at 6pm," warns one camper, highlighting the importance of planning ahead.

Variable road conditions: Access to remote camping areas requires careful navigation. "Park is easily accessible from I-80, just be aware of your directions and make sure they're taking you to the park via Rocky Road. Mine did not, and I ended up down a seasonal road that did not end at the park entrance," cautions a Ravensburg State Park visitor.

Reservation requirements: Different campgrounds maintain distinct booking policies. Poe Paddy State Park operates on a reservation system, while a camper at Ravensburg State Park notes, "It's rarely busy and it's first come first serve." Always check individual campground policies before arrival.

Tips for camping with families

Water play options: Bald Eagle State Park's Russell P. Letterman Campground provides beach access for children. "The beach area is clean, there's a big playground on it as well as a concession stand and store (open during the summer)," reports one camper, noting the family-friendly environment.

Biking opportunities: Many campgrounds feature safe riding areas for children. "The kids had fun riding the bikes around the loop and taking the short cuts cut in around the loop," shares a visitor to Bald Eagle State Park's modern camping section.

Playground facilities: Beyond swimming areas, look for developed play structures. Williamsport South-Nittany Mountain KOA features "a jumping pillow and regularly scheduled activities," according to a visitor, providing entertainment options beyond natural features.

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: Primitive Camping Area — Bald Eagle State Park offers advantages for motorhomes seeking quiet surroundings. "Stayed in Primitive Area with RV which is MUCH QUIETER & MUCH MORE PRIVATE with many trees than the full hookups down in the main park area," advises one RVer about strategic site selection.

Hook-up availability: Verify electrical connections before booking. Holiday Pines Campground provides full amenities for RVs, while Penns Creek Campground warns about infrastructure challenges: "Fifth star deducted because the sewer pipe was too high for our site and our rig tank didn't drain well."

Road navigation challenges: Large rigs face potential access issues. A visitor to Poe Paddy State Park advises, "I wouldn't recommend big campers as most of the spots would be a pain to back into," highlighting the importance of researching site access before arrival.
