Riverside Acres Campground

Eagles fish the 200-meter-wide river that flows past this modest-sized campground's waterfront sites. Riverside Acres Campground sits along the Susquehanna River near Towanda, offering full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer connections for $22-$35 per night. The resident owner provides local area knowledge and maintains facilities that combine older and newer elements with plentiful hot water.

Sites are arranged in three rows with different amenities. Tent campers can access riverfront spots, while the second row provides water and electric hookups under shade trees with lawn frontage. The inland row includes full sewer connections and bathhouse access. A pavilion with tables and electric service sits on a lawn large enough for recreational activities. Campers arriving by canoe should prepare for isolation, while those with vehicles can resupply in nearby Wyalusing or find places to camp around Towanda for additional options.

Don’t bother…

Spoke to the owner 6 weeks prior to our intended stay, and planed on a 3 month stay. Called to confirm 2 weeks out as instructed and was informed she had no recollection she spoke with us. Left us with no place to go for the entire summer! What poor customer service.

Quiet on the Susquehanna.

Riverside Acres is a modest sized campground in a great.spot. The river in front of first row sites is 200 m broad. Eagles fish here. You can too. Good beginning or end for a canoe trip.

  Resident owner is easy to get along with as long as you respect the grounds. She has a wealth of knowledge of the area.

   Good tentable spaces on river. Second row has water/electric, shade trees and lawn frontage. Pavilion has tables, a braizer, and one electric outlet. Lawn big enough to play your sport. Inland row has sewer hook ups and the bath house. Facility is an effective combination of old and new, and hot water is plentiful. 

   If you paddle in, come prepared for comfortable isolation. If you have wheels, anything can be bought with a run into Wyalusing, or Towanda.

   When I have been there, if your night life requires things, you should bring your own. Like a chair to watch the moon on the river.
