Best Campgrounds near Millersburg, PA

677 Reviews

Central Pennsylvania campgrounds near Millersburg provide access to a range of established camping experiences along the Susquehanna River valley. Little Buffalo State Park Campground, located approximately 20 miles west of Millersburg, offers tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals in a forested setting. Nearby options include Ferryboat Campsites in Liverpool, which features riverside camping with tent and RV sites from April through October. Most developed campgrounds in the region accommodate both tent and RV campers, with many offering electric hookups, water access, and modern restroom facilities.

Seasonal availability varies significantly across the region, with some campgrounds like Buttonwood Campground operating from mid-April through October, while others remain open year-round. "This campground helped me finally convince my fiance that not all 'campgrounds' are actually waterpark/family fun/RV parking lots, and that there are a lot of secluded, forest, nature-oriented campgrounds," noted one visitor about Greenwood Furnace State Park. Winter camping options are limited, with Hersheypark Camping Resort being one of the few facilities offering year-round access. Primitive camping areas at Bald Eagle State Park require longer walks from parking areas, sometimes up to 50 feet from vehicle access points. Cell service can be limited at more remote locations, particularly at Greenwood Furnace State Park.

Waterfront access represents a common feature at several campgrounds in the region. Riverfront Campground and Buttonwood Campground both provide boat-in access along with traditional camping. At Gifford Pinchot State Park, lakeside sites are particularly sought after. A camper described their experience at site 116: "Absolutely perfect site. Single car parking spot on the road then a short walk down a hill onto the site. There's a small deer trail that runs between all of the sites on the water that makes it easy if you have multiple sites with friends next to each other." Noise considerations vary by location, with some campgrounds like Russell P Letterman Campground at Bald Eagle State Park noting railroad noise from nearby active train lines, while others offer more secluded experiences away from highways and urban areas.
