Penns Creek Campground

Off-the-grid camping defines the experience at Penns Creek Campground, where cell service disappears and creek sounds replace digital distractions. This private campground sits directly on Penns Creek, offering full hookups for RVs alongside tent sites. Multiple access options include drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in sites, though the entrance road requires careful navigation.

Creek access draws families and dog owners to the water's edge, while the mix of seasonal residents and weekend campers creates a lived-in atmosphere. Basic facilities include individual showers and restrooms, though some sewer connections sit too high for certain RV configurations. Campers need to stock up before arriving, as the nearest town lies 20 minutes away and services close early.

Many campers appreciated the peaceful creekside setting perfect for disconnecting, with clean grounds and river access. Facilities are basic but functional, though some RV hookup issues were reported.

No service

We pulled in to camp for the weekend, nice location right on the creek. I work online so service is a must. Initial thoughts were, clean quiet, not very secluded, if we didn’t need phone service it would have been perfect place to camp

Quiet riverside spot

Though mixed with camper trailers, small RVs and camper residents, it was easy to find a site where we had privacy and great river access. Facilities are “rustic” but individual shower was available. The grounds are nice too, but the riverside site locations is where you need to be.

Off the beatin’ path, no frills

Exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a weekend to go off the grid, and this perfectly suited us. Nestled in by a creek (perfect for kids or dogs), the campground was quiet and we could sit outside and hear the bugs (not our neighbors).

No Wi-Fi, no cell service, no camp store. Nearest town about 20 minutes and the liquor store closes at 6pm.

A little tricky to get in and out of; but well worth it.

Fifth star deducted because the sewer pipe was too high for our site and our rig tank didn’t drain well.
