Red Bridge Recreation Area - Allegheny National Forest
Wonderful Campground
Red Bridge is beautiful and VERY WELL KEPT!! Site hosts were always driving around and would stop to talk with you! Numerous bathhouses were clean, and lots of hot water.
Kalyumet Campground
Terrible, Run Down, Abandoned And Un Secure! GATE WAS BROKEN
Any worker over the age of 20 was super rude and they did NOT Re-Book Our Reservation For Next Year The Website sates that it is now being managed by a company called Oasis Marianas. There Are Signs Falling Apart And They Pool Was Water Orange! The Arcade was completely broken the showers were tiny and the entire place is in disrepair. The Gate was taken off the Opener And thrown into the weeds DISAPPOINTING And This Place was NOT CHEAP And Was Super RunDown.
High Pines RV Park
High Praise for High Pines
What a beautiful campground with the sweetest owners, Jack and Debbie! Our 3 night stay was just not long enough. We will definitely be back! Shout out to Debbie for being highly instrumental in the creation of the High Pines App, which is absolutely amazing and chock full of useful information. Another shout out to both Jack & Debbie for warmly welcoming our South African Mastiff despite her intimidating size and appearance. We appreciated that we, the owners, would be judged. Not the dog and certainly not her breed. Thank you for a wonderful camping experience!
Woodland Campground
Super nice lots of amenities
Very clean, could be a bit more level. Great amenities, boat, fish, games, hike.
S.B. Elliott State Park Campground
Old and worn out
A dingy place. The ground was swampy the only dry places are the gravel pads in the sites. I wouldn't tent camp here.
On the plus side, strong AT&T and T-Mobile cell signals. (I don't have a verizon device)

Red Bridge Recreation Area - Allegheny National Forest
Site 23
$20/night basic site has a picnic table and fire ring. Each loop has. Pit potty on it. Shower facility in the park, very very hot water. Quiet, friendly people. Dog friendly. Bear area..,take note. Some sites have water access.
Clear Creek State Park Campground
Camping right on the River with nice trails.
First time staying at Clear Creek State Park and had a spot just below where the Creek empties into the River. We were able to turn the RV so the door/awning faced the River. We saw a two different Merganser mamas with young, a green heron fishing, and a bald eagle go up the River. We were right across from the showerhouse but noise was minimal. Our dog had the riverbank to explore on her camp leash of course. Hiking above the campground was very nice and we did an easy loop of almost 6 miles. Mountain Laurels were in bloom. Very clean park. Showerhouse was well-kept. Bringing the kayaks next time.
Chapman State Park Campground
LOVE THIS PLACE!
Hidden gem! Love the seclusion of this campground. Very clean restrooms. Fantastic lake for kayaking, fishing, swimming, etc. Currently, our favorite local escape destination!
East Branch Campground — East Branch Clarion River Lake
Enjoyed our weekend here!
Nice quiet & small campground on a hillside. Loved how remote this location was, but be prepared to be a billy goat when trekking to the restroom no matter your site location. Even though it was a busy holiday weekend, it was a very peaceful weekend. Very clean restrooms. No signage to sites if you aren't familiar with the campground. Terrible "slow bumps" in/out of campground . . . a little excessive. Beautiful lake/area, but must drive from campground to water's edge. Will likely visit again! PS--Currently issues with potable water; must bring your own.
Crooked Run Campground — Prince Gallitzin State Park
State parks rock
As a rule we always try to stay in parks if possible. Really like the layout here, and the k9s love it. We couldn’t see the lake from the camper, but in the woods we could see the lake and the camper from the same spot.
Moshannon State Forest
Generic positive title
Great tent site with lots of room. Have your own little driveway to park your car right next to the site. Comes with a picnic table and fire pit. Need lots of rope for setting up tarps as trees are far apart. Cute little stream in the back with a log crossing. No cell service, near town with free wifi. No toilets or garbage. Good amount of traffic coming down the road but isn't an issue at night time.
Red Bridge Recreation Area - Allegheny National Forest
Beautiful and Quiet
This is a beautiful campground. You have to go through the national park website to make reservations, so I feel like that's what keeps it quiet maybe. My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend and somehow ended up booking a full hookup site that was really great. The sites are very spacious and mostly divided with brush. The campground is rather hilly overall and I'm not sure it's best for kids unless they're really into fishing. But it is settled right on the Allegheny Reservoir, so if you bring you kayaks you can launch right from the campground. The restrooms with showers were beautiful and the whole place was well kept. The camp isn't far from many attractions in the area. Including the kinzu skywalk which is about a 30 minute drive. Overall a wonderful quiet place to camp.
Cook Forest State Park Campground
State park camping for all
This is truly one of my favorite state parks to camp at. The whole campground is mostly wooded with hardly a bad site. They have primitive, electric only and full hookups available. This is definitely a family friendly campground. If you're into hiking there's lots to see here. There's no camp store in the campground, who is something they could improve upon, but you can get supplies nearby.
Kalyumet Campground
Nice ,But Little Bit Run Down
This Campground Is Well Used But Is Still Nice
Bellefonte-State College KOA
Wonderful place
The bike trails/course at the KOA were absolutely awesome! Even though we don't have kids to bring along, I couldn't help but wish I could hit those trails myself– what a cool feature they have.
Now, onto the bathrooms– they were impressively spacious and private, and the best part? Always clean. No complaints there. We appreciated the added security with the entrance gate, it gave us a sense of safety during our stay.
And speaking of people, everyone there was super polite and friendly. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to visit again!"
Woodland Campground
Loved it
We stayed on a primitive site in our van, it was only for one night but we wished we'd booked more, the facilities are great and everyone is friendly. It feels homey, would definitely come back if I have the chance 🥰
Black Moshannon State Park Campground
Beautiful and well appointed park
Getting to the park had some sharp turns and windy roads. Small campground but nicely equipped. 2 bath houses were dated but clean. Nice playground at the campground and also one at the beach. Small camp concessions with a few camping items as well as ice cream cones. Great hiking and a beautiful lake for kayaking. Site 22 is a full hookup. Utilities worked nicely. However, our picnic table had seen better days. The site sat down off the road but once you were backed in the spot it was pretty level. This site also had a separate tent pad located down a few stone steps. Verizon and AT&T cell service were basically non existent. Every once in a while a text would come in or send but very spotty. Sorry I failed to get a pic of the site in the daylight. It was spacious and we had plenty of room for our 30' trailer, truck, and easy up over the table. 6+ chairs around the fire pit, cooking ring could have been better. Grassy area for cornhole or playing.
Silver Canoe Campground
Beautiful tent spot
My 9 year old and myself got a tent site with electric for two nights and had a great time. The sites were all level and were well-shaded. The pool area and bath house were clean and maintained. The camp store was a great asset for small items left behind, plus prices were great for ice and firewood. We will be back!
Kiasutha
Overall great campground
For the most part we loved this campground.
Pros - Sites are well spaced and most have plenty of trees in between.
Shower house is clean.
Multiple buildings with flush toilets throughout primitive section.
Large beach area for swimming.
Boat launch and dock.
Multitude of trails to get to lakeshore from different points in campground.
All of the roads and parking pads in the primitive section are paved.
Cons - The campground "host" in the primitive section was by far the loudest and most disruptive site in the entire campground for the 7 days we were there. Multiple dogs barking all day and night, people yelling and cussing at each other, giant fires every evening, screaming instructions to their children halfway across the campground.(Not the "manager" in the RV section)
Roads and parking spots in RV section are gravel, which would be fine, except for the ruts from water flow that need filled back in.
There are several RV sites that have the electrical boxes installed but supposedly never had the wires ran and so power is not available yet. The manager said it has been like that for quite a while now but will supposedly be fixed by next year (2024).
Bellefonte-State College KOA
Almost Home
For a state park it is very nice. Lots of campsites and cabins. Pool was down so kids were a little upset but there was other stuff for them to do.
Russell P Letterman Campground — Bald Eagle State Park
Nice overnight stop
This is a big park. We just reserved one night as as an overnight stop after a 10 hr day of driving. We travel with a dog so our only choice for an electric site was on the Sycamore loop. The Oak loop does not allow pets. Sites we nicely laid out with level gravel and a fire ring. Looks like there lots to do around the park, especially for families.
Austin Campground
Austin campground
Very nice campground, well maintained quiet, clean restrooms and showers, nice sized sites, very nice owners
Red Bridge Recreation Area - Allegheny National Forest
Very pretty little campsite!
Me and a few friends stayed here for a weekend to swim and chill out. Our site was super green and beautiful and a good distance from neighbors with woods on 3 sides. The closest bathroom didn’t have hot water but the next one up had hot water. We did get two ticks while we were there so make sure to watch out for that!
Russell P Letterman Campground — Bald Eagle State Park
Relaxing week great sites
Stayed in the modern camping section. Easy access to camp ground. The check in process was just to drive to the site and set up which was different but very easy. The sites are private on the sides with some green space to play on. Lots of extra places to park extra cars or bring a second vehicle with a boat.
The kids had fun riding the bikes around the loop and taking the short cuts cut in around the loop. We had fun walking to the foot bridge to go fishing.
The camping area was very quite both mornings and evenings. We saw the park rangers drive through multiple times per day.
The bathrooms were clean. There are no shelfs in the showers (except for a bar of soap) but they had hooks to hang your clothes.
The racoons were a fun surprise on our last night! We left the grease trap from the Blackstone out and the they found it. We did not see any bears though we heard they are there.
We had smoke from Canadian forest fires so haze in the pictures is smoke not haze or rainy days! The walking trails are great. You can see the largest white swamp oak in Pennsylvania!
Definitely check out Penns Cave too.
Wolfs Camping Resort
Perfect For A Family Trip!
