What to do
Boating and fishing: Raymond B. Winter State Park offers a small, clean lake for water activities. "The lake is small, more like a pond, but super cold and clean water, as it is fed by two mountains streams. The beach is amazing. Tons and tons of clean sand, no rocks, and lots of space to play and swim," notes Greg S.
Eagle watching: Bald Eagle State Park provides opportunities to observe nesting eagles. "We love this park and usually rent a boat and swim and watch the eagles all day. One of the best experiences ever," reports Sara W. The park has established viewing areas with ranger-led programs during nesting season.
Night sky viewing: Raymond B. Winter State Park features minimal light pollution for stargazing. "The night skies were beautiful (starry starry night w/little light pollution) and trails galore leading directly from the campground," shares Kassie F. Clear nights reveal the Milky Way during summer months.
What campers like
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Visitors consistently mention the upkeep of Little Pine State Park Campground. "This is a nice clean quiet campground. It's a great stop if you're doing rails to trails or swimming at the beach up the road," writes Jolene J. The campground provides showers and clean bathrooms.
Secluded, wooded sites: Several cabin accommodations offer privacy in forest settings. "We tent glamp with a Q air mattress and lots of room. Happy Acres had tent spots with electric and water. We were put in a hollow that had space for 6 tents, but with the exception of one (rainy) night when there was one other tent, we had the hollow to ourselves," reports Carmie at Happy Acres Resort.
Walking distance amenities: Access to restaurants and stores enhances the camping experience. "Ice cream, arcade, restaurant and camp store all walking distance away," mentions Paula R. about Little Pine State Park. These conveniences reduce the need for frequent drives to town.
What you should know
Limited cell service: Many cabin locations have poor connectivity. "We didn't realize there would be no service so I didn't research hikes before we left," reports Taylor V. about Poe Valley State Park Campground. Download maps and information before arrival.
Busy during Penn State events: Football weekends create high demand for accommodations. "This KOA impressed me. The grounds were well laid out and included RVs, campers, tents and us in Hammocks," notes Mike about Bellefonte-State College KOA. Book cabins months in advance for game weekends.
Wildlife awareness: Local wildlife includes bears and snakes. "The racoons were a fun surprise on our last night! We left the grease trap from the Blackstone out and they found it. We did not see any bears though we heard they are there," writes Erik E. about Bald Eagle State Park. Store food properly and check sites thoroughly.
