"Staff is excellent. Camp store is well stocked. Can’t beat this place!!"
"Wait for breakfast at the restaurant"
"This campground has a little something for everyone, from full hook up sites neatly stacked next to each other, to quiet patches of grass next to the river."
"The area up on the hill in the back is next to the CSX train track that runs 24/7. Lazy River Rest does flood when it rains and our relatives had to relocate their first night until it dried out."
LegendWhat a great campground! We stayed here on a recommendation from a friend after the Overland Expo. Great hiking trails and the falls were absolutely breathtaking. Truly enjoyed our stay and plan to return!
TravelerThere 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!
ScoutThis 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.
TravelerOMG! Next to busy interstate, railroad tracks and shooting range. Way to much for me!
ScoutHorrible stay brown water Dep had them on boil water went down hill the past 4 yrs
ScoutPicked the nicest days of the week. Got here and the carousel, Ferris wheel, restaurant, and ice cream shoppe are closed. They are apparently only open 2 days a week, maybe 3. I would have just went down the road to the KOA had I not known this.
GuideWe used to camp here 30+ years ago. Nice that it hasn't changed much. Still has a game room with pool table, driving games, skeet ball, etc. No more pinball games like in the past. Apparently in the 1930 there was a working train around the campground, a restaurant and horse shoes - none of which are at present.
Sites are quite small. I thought our neighbor's awning was going to hit our RV, and that ours might hit the next neighbor's RV. In some parts the campers are also back to back, luckily ours is not.
They have wi-fi but you must pay for it, no free service. No cable TV (which is the norm these days). Good cell reception so you will need that or a Starlink to stream shows.
Staff are friendly. Sites are pretty level. The campground itself is rather pretty with trees, grassy areas, playgrounds for kids, etc. Lots of lightning bugs at night, and birds during the day.
At night it's interesting to walk around as so many seasonal and permanent campers have lights around their campers, trees, etc. Almost like walking around one of those light up parks they do around Christmas.
GuideIts was great, we stayed in new area, sites had ample room, not many trees at our spot so summer there wouldnt be much shade but we were next to a retention pond/drainage. We brought our dig whole loved running through there.
Not much to say besides it was clean, not crowded (in November) and decent spacing between sites
ScoutWhere do I start?
We came to this campground to connect with family who was hiking the AT. We left after one miserable night. Here are some reasons:
A giant confederate flag near the entrance
Highway noise and not one but two train tracks
One Filthy “bathroom”
No shade at our campsite- despite other available sites with some shade
A trail of poison ivy on the narrow path to the river
Cigarette butts everywhere
And a creepy man on a bike who declared he was a local and wouldn’t leave our site while I was alone and insisted on talking to me about the strip club down the street, where to buy condoms and how my tent’s mesh shelf is perfect for drying out my wet panties.
Glamping options near Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania center around spacious cabin accommodations and outdoor activities in wooded settings. The area's rolling hills and valleys create diverse camping experiences ranging from 400 to 1,200 feet in elevation. Summer temperatures average 75-85°F during the day, making it ideal for water activities at the numerous lakes and streams throughout the region.
Amusement park access: Knoebels Campground offers direct access to its family-friendly amusement park. "Connected to the park, a great way to visit! If you're an early to bed kinda person it'll be tough, the roller coasters are right there! I loved it though," notes Joe B. The park features free admission with pay-per-ride options.
Waterfall hiking: Ricketts Glen State Park Campground features 22 waterfalls accessible via well-maintained trails. "The biggest draw to this state park (which no one in Pennsylvania I spoke with seemed to know about) is the 22 waterfalls! We saw 18 of them on a four-mile moderate hike, but if you want to see the additional four, you could make it a seven-mile hike," reports Lee D. The falls trail is moderately difficult with some steep sections.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds offer fishing access with stocked lakes. "Lake Glory has a beautiful campground. The sites are large, you have a middle of nowhere feel, full hook ups are a nice addition and the nice little lake is an added bonus!" says Henry R. Most lakes require a Pennsylvania fishing license, available online or at local bait shops.
Shuttle services: Lake Glory Campground provides transportation to nearby attractions. "Great experience at this campground. Very well maintained. Friendly staff. Nice little lake to fish in. Very clean," writes Frank G. The shuttle service to Knoebels is particularly useful for families wanting to avoid multiple parking fees.
Spacious campsites: Many reviewers appreciate the ample room at campgrounds in the region. At Little Mexico Campground, "We spent a weekend there. Our site was big. The pool is nice," reports Kelly M. Creek-side sites are especially popular during summer months when water activities are in demand.
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness is consistently mentioned in reviews. "The showers are cleaned daily," notes Bonnie T. at Knoebels Campground. Most campgrounds offer shower facilities with varying degrees of privacy, with some featuring individual rooms rather than communal shower areas.
Highway noise concerns: Some campgrounds experience traffic noise due to proximity to major roadways. At Camp A While, "The campground is beautifully laid out with a stream running between the tent and RV camping...The only reason for not giving five stars is because it's very close to a freeway. There's quite a bit of truck and car noise from the freeway," explains Jen.
Reservation timing: Popular glamping sites book quickly, especially during summer months. "Book early as they sell out fast!" advises Joshua W. Most campgrounds accept reservations 6-12 months in advance, with holiday weekends filling particularly quickly.
Seasonal considerations: Weather variations affect camping conditions. At Knoebels, one camper noted, "We went in late august and although it was pool weather during the day time the temperatures dropped somewhat dramatically into the evening hours so bring clothes for both 70-80 degree weather and 40-50 degree weather overnight."
Water recreation options: Multiple campgrounds offer swimming and water activities. At Splash Magic RV Resort, "There is a great water park as well as adults only pool for those wanting a break from the little ones," notes Tom H. Most water facilities operate from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Playgrounds and activities: Family-oriented campgrounds feature dedicated children's areas. "My family has been going here for the last 3 years. We love camping here. They have a pool and fun activities though the day. At night they have a merry go round, train, giant slide and ferries wheel you can ride," shares Dawn T. about Twin Grove RV Resort.
Cabin options: For families new to camping, cabin rentals provide comfort with outdoor access. "We have camped in our pop up but we have also rented the cabins here too. Either way is a great way to stay the weekend and enjoy the park. Restrooms are clean. Nice large sink to wash dishes. Single cabins have three double beds with two up top in the loft and one down below," explains Jen R. at Knoebels.
Site leveling requirements: Some campgrounds require adjustment for RVs. At Lake Glory Campground, "The site was plenty spacious for our pup and TV, but was not level at all. In fact, none of the surrounding sites looked very level," reports Jen V.
Hookup variations: Full-service sites are available but differ between locations. "We stayed in the large loop, which is a peninsula on Lake Jean. Many of the sites have lake views... There are no hookups at all in the park," notes Lee D. about Ricketts Glen State Park Campground.
Site selection strategy: Experienced RVers recommend specific areas within campgrounds. "We always try to get a site at the top. Longer walk to the park but worth it for us," advises Dawn T., noting that in some campgrounds, "the bottom part of the campground they squeeze them in tight."
