Best Glamping near Shinglehouse, PA

Petticoat Junction campground is nestled in the PA Grand Canyon with Pine Creek on one side and the Rails to Trails on the other of the campground. This ideal location provides a nice tranquil environment with opportunities for active adventures. It had been several years since our last stay at PJC, but the new owners have done amazing improvements and upgrades to many areas of the campground which are greatly appreciated. Everyone we interacted with(owners/employees) were friendly and gave us the feeling that they were glad we chose to stay with them. 

There are a variety of camping options from season sites, primitive sites, cabins, glamping tents, and RV hook-ups for water and electric(along the creek). We stated in one of the water/electric hook-up sites along the creek, which was wonderful. Very flat and larger than average in size, which was nice not being on top of your neighbor. Water pressure was very good and the WIFI signal was better than many campgrounds we have stayed. 

The location of PJC is perfect for fishing, floating/kayaking, and biking/hiking the rails to trail. There are many nearby hikes throughout the canyon for the more adventures travelers. The office has biking/tubing/boating rentals for its campers. Additionally the firewood for sale is priced well and is very good quality, not the cheap smoky pine found in most places. If you need a break from civilization to reset and relax, I highly recommend PJC!

We stopped for 2 nights and felt so comfortable we added another 2 nights. Nice lake for kayaking and fishing. The finger lakes trail runs through the campground. Did a 5.5 mile hike up Pennsylvania Hill today. A little road noice and no water hookups.

Great place! Water and electric hookups. Beautiful swimming pool! Very peaceful!!

We've been backpacking into the campground for years and it's always a beautiful adventure. There's plenty of streams to filter water from, a lush fern forest, and the best part, of course, is the lake! There's many trails in the area that offer different destinations and views so there's an adventure for all kinds of people waiting at Allegheny National Forest.

We set up our tent and allegany national Forest deer camp area, a snow storm came overnight 5 plus inches so we settled in, the place is absolutely beautiful just for the solidarity and the wonderful animal noises and complete darkness at night. Definitely a place to be if you prefer solitude

Great place very clean with lots to do. Very family friendly and pet friendly too. Staff is great.

We always love ARC the kids had a blast and we were able to relax!

I love this place, cleanest campground i ever saw, peaceful, quiet and friendly

Perfect location for us. Quiet spacious sites. Very pleasant owner allowed us to stay even though they were technically closed for the season. Very well kept campground with many options for kids and dogs

I love this place because it was breathtaking . I just love the trees and the sound of the birds.......can't wait to come back.

Found this location while going to Elk State Forest for the elk bugling. Was very happy to find this location. Had clean bathrooms with running water and showers. Campground was tucked away between two mountains and sat next to a creek. Staff was friendly. Plenty of camp sites. Have yearly campsites which is apparent since some of the campers have more permanent structures around or attached to them. Pets allowed. Not the best place for hammock camping but have a few sites with good trees. Out of the main path but nice place to stay.

Owners are very friendly and the campground is super clean. The playground is very nice too. We camped over Columbus weekend and got to see gorgeous fall leaves, brilliant night skies, and lots of elk right around the campground plus a bear that took a walk through the campground one evening.

Very nice campground, well maintained quiet, clean restrooms and showers, nice sized sites, very nice owners
