GuideArtillery Ridge Campground
Great campsite. Fire pit, picnic table, swimming pool ( not open), miniature golf course, laundromat, bathrooms, showers, dump station, gathering areas for groups, playground, and even a horse area and stalls for horses. Dog friendly. Staff was very helpful and curious.
Pam R.GuideGifford Pinchot State Park Campground
We booked two nights mid October not realizing that it's duck hunting season and that hunting is allowed RIGHT by the campground - with kids everywhere. We were jolted out of sleep at 5 am by gun fire right near our site. It kept up for the next hour. In addition, the bathrooms, although clean are in poor condition. Peeling paint everywhere with bare concrete in the showers. For such a pretty site, we had a miserable stay. We left after one night.

You just can't beat a pennsylvania park. This one is not an exception. Nice clean restroom, plenty of room. Now, what cost a star. Yes, it rained like hell. When we broke camp and go dump. The dump station was overflowing with sewer. Go to the guard shack to tell them, and find another site. None there. Can I go to an unused full hookup to dump? No! I would have to pay for the site. Two hours later, we found a place to dump for $10.

EXPENSIVE
There was no hot water in the showers. There are no dog poo stations. There is a dumpster marked “STAFF ONLY”. It’s nice they have a place to stuff the staff!

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.

Great Campground and Farm
This campground is a great place to bring kids. The spots are a little tight but we were able to get our 46’ toy hauler in the spot with very little effort. Because the sites are back-in, we can’t use our rear patio but that is ok. The pool is very nice and the farm atmosphere makes it very fun for kids.
Guide to New Bloomfield
Cabin camping options near New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania range from rustic to deluxe accommodations throughout the wooded Cumberland Valley region. The area sits within the Ridge and Valley section of the Appalachian Mountains, with elevations ranging from 400 to 1,200 feet. Seasonal temperatures vary significantly, with summer highs averaging 85°F and winter lows frequently dropping below freezing.
What to do
Hiking trails and wildlife viewing: Pine Grove Furnace State Park Campground offers excellent hiking opportunities including the Appalachian Trail, which passes directly through the park. "There are some great trails for running/hiking - the park is the halfway point on the Appalachian Trail! We did a very nice run from our campsite out to the scenic viewpoint on top of Pole Steeple (about 7ish miles)," notes one visitor who appreciated the varied terrain.
Water recreation options: The Buttonwood Campground provides direct access to the Juniata River for boating and water activities. A camper mentions, "Tubing down the river is so fun and the highlight of a stay here. Campground does have a wristband system for most activities and amenities, with the exception of pool and playgrounds." Water recreation packages often require additional fees but include equipment rentals.
Historical attractions: Several campgrounds offer access to historical sites not mentioned in standard guides. At Pine Grove Furnace, visitors can explore "an Appalachian trail museum, which was very neat to check out, and the old Ironmaster's Mansion serves as a hostel and event venue." The historical iron furnace provides educational opportunities about the region's industrial past.
What campers like
Natural swimming areas: Little Buffalo State Park Campground features a swimming pool with additional water features. "They offer a large area that is only 1 foot deep, great for little ones! There is also a splash pad! There are 2 slides for fun!" writes one reviewer. The pool areas at most parks require additional entrance fees, even for registered campers.
Fishing opportunities: Several cabin camping areas provide direct lake or stream access for fishing. At Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground, campers appreciate the "great access for fishing" where visitors have caught "a handful of bass and an absurd amount of bluegill from shore." Many locations require valid Pennsylvania fishing licenses.
Well-maintained facilities: Lake Heron Retreat receives consistent praise for its upkeep and tranquility. "Clean and well kept campground located 12 mile below Lewistown, Pa. As clean a campground as you will find," notes one visitor. Many reviewers specifically mentioned the pristine conditions of both the grounds and the lake areas.
What you should know
Seasonal availability: Most cabin facilities around New Bloomfield operate from April through October, with limited winter availability. Buttonwood Campground operates from "April to October 31" according to their information, which is typical of the region. Winter cabin options are extremely limited due to water system winterization.
Noise considerations: Train traffic affects some campgrounds in the area. At Hersheypark Camping Resort, one camper warns: "Nice camp ground but super loud bc of the trains. Bath houses are nice and clean. I would suggest making sure you aren't close to the tracks bc the trains run all night long!"
Reservation requirements: Advance planning is essential for weekend stays, particularly during summer months. Most sites can be booked 11 months in advance through state park reservation systems or directly through private campgrounds. Holiday weekends often fill completely 6-8 months in advance.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access details: Families should budget for additional swimming fees at several parks. As one Little Buffalo camper notes, "You have to pay to get in the pool, yes even if you are camping!!! I am pretty sure it's the most expensive state park in PA!" Current rates range from $5-8 per person depending on age and residency status.
