3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several cabin options serve campers seeking a balance of comfort and nature near Rochester, Pennsylvania. Raccoon Creek State Park offers cabins within a wooded setting, while Rose Point Park provides both cabins and yurts with varied amenities including electricity, picnic tables, and fire rings. Most locations offer basic furnishings with beds and seating areas, though kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties. "This was a cozy cabin with 2 bathrooms. We also had a small kitchen where we could cook when we didn't want to cook over the fire," noted one visitor about their KOA cabin experience near the area.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Raccoon Creek provides more primitive accommodations, while Bear Run Campground features cottages in a campground setting that includes a swimming pool and playground. Reservation requirements vary by season, with many locations requiring bookings up to six months in advance for summer weekends. Pet policies differ significantly between properties—Raccoon Creek has designated pet-friendly cabins in Loop F, while some deluxe KOA cabins explicitly prohibit pets. As one camper shared: "While most of the campgrounds in the park are no pets, there are 2 loops that allow your furry companions!"
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic campfire cooking setups to furnished kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves in deluxe accommodations. Bear Run Campground and other locations maintain camp stores selling essential supplies, firewood, and some grocery items. Tomlinson Run State Park features a small camp store with limited provisions mainly focused on souvenirs and basic snacks. Many campers bring cooking equipment suited to their cabin's amenities, particularly for more rustic accommodations without built-in kitchens.
"While most of the campgrounds in the park are no pets- there are 2 loops that allow your furry companions! Loop F includes electric spots!"
"Went to Raccoon Creek State Park to camp for Labor Day weekend. We booked campsite F1 since we had 2 dogs and the F loop allowed dogs. This site was great!"

ScoutWe just bought our first RV and couldn’t ask for a better first time experience!!! Lori and Fred were absolutely awesome. Great clean facilities and pool. Lots of new upgrades and updates. Gorgeous creek and pond and an absolutely amazing set of neighbors! I loved it there and will absolutely be going back!
ScoutThe park is beautiful, unlevel shade sites; is challenging to get the trailer level. unfortunately, the bathhouses are neglected, dark and full of mildew inside the showers. The park really needs to upgrade the bathhouses. The park itself is very nice and offers a lot of opportunities for outdoor exploration and hiking.
ScoutSpent three nights there in August Mid-week. Was pretty quiet but was clean and nicely taken care of. No mosquitos or bugs at night. Nice walking paths. Pool, hot tub, outdoor showers all very nice.
ScoutWe love camping here. There are a few things to do, swim in the pool, mine for gem stones, they have an arcade and a playground. It’s in a wooded area near lake Arthur with a boat ramp down the Road.
GuideMosquito Lake gets a bad rap because of its name. We had such a great time launching our kayak from our campsite! I’ve attached a highlighted map marked with the sights on or very close to the water to launch a kayak. Additional kayak launch sites available around the park if you can’t get one of these. It’s great campground if you have kids or a dog. Plenty of great playgrounds and a dog park/dog beach. The camp host was very nice and welcoming. The wash house has laundry and showers. Everything was clean.
ScoutA little too close together for my comfort. But very nice and relaxing area. And definitely more spread a part than commercial campgrounds.
TravelerNice campground! They hold lots of random activities for kids like tie dying, tractor ride, etc. We stayed in spot 24, which is very spacious, but I did not like the fact that it’s right next to the road where cars are speeding by. I do not think this spot in particular would be good if you have small children
GuideI've heard there are campgrounds that discriminate against car camping, first time experiencing it. There are many sites where people have a LARGE camper, a car, and multiple tents spread out over a large area. We have 2 SUV's with tents that attach to the backs. We followed all the rules and are taking up about HALF of our site. We were told that is not allowed. When asked for reasoning and comparing to what we've seen around the park, we get no clear answer that makes sense. We are here with a group that rented about 20 sites. After spending 4 hours setting everything up, she says one may have to leave; she's waiting to hear from her boss. I will definitely never return here!
GuideStayed one night while visiting friends. The campground was nice but could use some updating. It was definitely geared more towards families with small children. The showers were interesting. In the men’s they had a pull cord and a button in the women’s. Hot water was more of a mild suggestion rather than an actual thing you got. Luke warm was a generous way of describing it. Not a bad campground if you have a reason to be in the area for a night, but I would recommend it for long stayed unless your camper is very self contained.
