Trailhead Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Trailhead Campground sits adjacent to the AOAA (Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area) in Shamokin, giving riders direct access to thousands of acres of OHV terrain from their campsite. Sites are large and mostly shaded. The access road is rough, so drivers towing trailers or operating a motorhome should approach with caution. Grounds maintenance has been inconsistent, with reports of tall weeds, and management enforces specific vehicle parking rules within individual sites. Electric hookups and firewood are available on-site. Those weighing camping near Shamokin will find this property most useful as a base for OHV use rather than a general-purpose stay. Reserve ahead during busy periods, as site availability can tighten quickly.

Unkept and micromanaged

First the good: Big, level sites Nice camp host Great prices 

Now the bad: The road coming in is ROUGH, if you towing or driving a MH, be prepared. The grounds are unkept, no mowing, weeds as tall as I am. So. Many. Rules! I understand rules are necessary and I always abide, but to tell me where and how I can park my personal vehicle WITHIN MY SITE because“they are busy now”(with more than half the sites empty). 

Not staying here again.

Right on the trail system

Amazing place, can ride all your toys straight into thousands of acres of family fun, we try to get down here twice a year. Sites are spacious and most are shady. Just be aware it's a newer place so they are constantly improving it. Love Trailhead and AOAA
