Glendale Valley Campground

17 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

In Fallentimber, Pennsylvania, at the edge of the Allegheny Plateau in Clearfield County, Glendale Valley Campground sits two miles from Prince Gallitzin State Park—Pennsylvania's third most visited state park and the protected shoreline of 1,635-acre Glendale Lake with its 26 miles of curving, forested waterfront. The campground's position in the heart of the Alleghenies puts it squarely in the middle of Central Pennsylvania's most rewarding outdoor recreation landscape, where the ridges and valleys of the old coal and timber country have given way to the lakes, trails, and wildlife corridors that make this part of the state genuinely beautiful in every season. Full hookup sites accommodate rigs of all sizes across a gated property that features a recently renovated bathhouse, a new camp store restocked with snacks, firewood, and supplies in 2023, and a modern laundry room added in 2024 reflecting the campground's ongoing investment in facilities. EV charging, a boat ramp providing direct Glendale Lake access, a playground, volleyball courts, gaga ball, and a recreation center complete the main amenity offerings. The property is pet-friendly with plenty of open area for walking dogs, WiFi coverage throughout the grounds, and propane fills available at the camp store. Beach access at Glendale Lake gives guests a sandy waterfront option without leaving the state park corridor. Glendale Lake's 26 miles of forested shoreline define the recreational character of the surrounding region—boating, fishing for bass and panfish, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing on a lake that sits entirely within the state park's protected boundaries, creating the kind of clean, uncrowded freshwater experience that Pennsylvania's more accessible lakes can rarely provide. Over 30 miles of hiking trails in Prince Gallitzin State Park extend through the surrounding Allegheny forest from easy waterfront paths to moderate ridge hikes with panoramic views across the Clearfield County landscape. Mountain biking on the park's trail network adds another dimension for cycling guests who want mileage alongside the lake views. The campground's entertainment calendar runs throughout the summer season with weekend activities that create the social energy guests want without demanding participation: live music and bands, DJs, karaoke, bingo, and the beloved Christmas in July celebration that the campground runs each summer with decorated sites, holiday lights, and the festive atmosphere that has become one of the year's most anticipated events. The surrounding Allegheny highlands offer wine and beer tasting at nearby regional producers, and Clearfield County's dark skies—well away from the light pollution of the Pittsburgh and State College corridors—reward any guest willing to step outside after dark for a look at the Milky Way. Glendale Valley operates seasonally with peak demand running from Memorial Day through Labor Day when Prince Gallitzin's lake and trail access draws maximum visitation from across Central Pennsylvania. The shoulder seasons—late May through June and September into early October—offer the park's outdoor recreation at its most pleasant temperatures with noticeably lighter crowds on the lake and hiking trails. Reserve your site at Glendale Valley Campground and let Prince Gallitzin's beautiful Allegheny lake country be the setting for your Central Pennsylvania basecamp.

Sun Outdoors Frontier Town

466 RV Sites, 36 Cabins, 66 Tent Sites, 27 Cottages, 22 Onsite RV/Trailers, 7 Wagons

On the scenic shores of Sinepuxent Bay in Berlin, Maryland, just south of Ocean City on the Eastern Shore, Sun Outdoors Frontier Town has created one of the Mid-Atlantic's most elaborately themed and amenity-complete resort campgrounds—a Wild West destination resort where a full water park, a Go Ape high ropes and zip line course, a 75-slip marina with kayaking and jet skiing, miniature golf, and three on-site dining options combine with the Ocean City beach access that a free shuttle provides four days a week. Full-hookup RV sites, covered wagon rentals, vacation cottages, and tent camping serve the full accommodation spectrum in a resort that gives families too many on-property activities to exhaust in a week, let alone a weekend. Full-hookup RV sites with 20/30/50-amp electric, cable, and Wi-Fi service accommodate rigs up to 45 feet with slide-outs and feature picnic tables and fire pits with cooking grates, while covered wagon rentals and vacation cottages provide alternative accommodations for guests without RVs. The Frontier Town Water Park anchors the on-property aquatic recreation, and a separate outdoor pool supplements it for guests who prefer a controlled-temperature pool environment. The 75-slip marina and pier provide bay boating access for guest-owned and rental watercraft, with kayaking, jet skiing, and fishing directly from the resort's Sinepuxent Bay waterfront, and three on-site eateries—Pony Espresso and Creamery, Laze River Saloon, and Chuck Wagon—handle food service across the full day. The bay setting on Sinepuxent Bay, one of Maryland's most productive and beautiful tidal waterways, gives the resort's waterfront and marina a natural backdrop that the Wild West theme's inland origins make genuinely surprising. Fishing from the marina's pier and from rental kayaks and boats on the bay produces flounder, striped bass, and the croaker and spot that characterize Maryland's tidal bay fishery in the productive shallow water between the barrier island and the Eastern Shore mainland. The bay's calm water provides sheltered paddling that the Atlantic Ocean's surf conditions make impossible—a counterpoint to Ocean City's beach experience that gives Frontier Town guests access to two completely different coastal water environments from the same property. Ocean City's 10-mile Atlantic boardwalk, beach, and resort entertainment district lies just north of the resort via the free Thursday-through-Sunday shuttle service—a transportation link that eliminates the need to drive and park in Ocean City while still providing full access to the beach, the Boardwalk's food vendors and amusement attractions, and the Inlet's fishing piers and excursion boats. The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum on the Inlet interprets the barrier island's history from its 19th-century resort origins through the lifesaving service era that preceded the Coast Guard, and the charming Victorian-era town of Berlin a few miles inland provides antique shops, locally owned restaurants, and a Main Street atmosphere that contrasts productively with Ocean City's resort energy. Maryland's Eastern Shore camping season runs primarily from Memorial Day through Labor Day at peak capacity, with the Frontier Town Water Park and marina operating at full service from June through August when the family summer vacation market fills the resort's accommodation options. The shoulder seasons of May and September-October offer the Sinepuxent Bay's coastal atmosphere—warm enough for beach walks, kayaking, and bay fishing—with dramatically reduced crowds and more flexible reservation windows. Off-season visits are possible for guests seeking the Eastern Shore's fall waterfowl hunting and quiet bay fishing, but the full resort infrastructure operates only during the primary summer season.

Shore Point Cottages

Located in Berlin, Maryland, in the coastal resort region of Worcester County, Shore Point Cottages offers a cottage-based lodging experience well positioned for guests whose primary destination is Ocean City and the surrounding beaches and natural areas of Maryland's Eastern Shore. Each cottage is outfitted with a private patio surrounded by a fenced enclosure with fire features—providing a personal outdoor living space that gives guests a degree of privacy and a campfire experience alongside the convenience of cottage-style lodging. On-site amenities at Shore Point Cottages include an outdoor pool, a dog washing station, and laundry facilities that handle the practical needs of guests on multi-night stays. The cottages are fully dog-friendly, and the nearby dog park accommodates guests traveling with pets in the style common to Eastern Shore visitors arriving with their animals for beach access. Bicycle rentals are available on the property, and the resort offers discounted access to Sea Rocket Adventures—a waterfront operator providing parasailing, speedboat rides, and other thrilling water activity experiences that complement the area's beach-focused vacation programming. Ocean City's Atlantic shoreline—Maryland's primary beach resort destination, anchored by a 10-mile stretch of oceanfront and the famous Ocean City Boardwalk—is accessible within a short drive from the cottages. The Boardwalk's dining, entertainment, and retail options represent the commercial heart of Maryland's beach resort culture, and the amusements, arcades, and food vendors along its length give families a programmed activity environment that complements the natural beach experience. The beach itself provides surf swimming, sandcastle building, and sun exposure across a broad warm-weather season from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Assateague Island National Seashore, one of the mid-Atlantic coast's most celebrated natural areas, lies just south of Ocean City and offers a dramatically different beach experience—an undeveloped barrier island best known for the wild ponies that roam its beach and marsh environment. The national seashore provides hiking, wildlife observation, surf fishing, and primitive camping in a setting that contrasts productively with Ocean City's developed resort character and gives guests who visit both a comprehensive sense of the Worcester County coastal landscape. Frontier Town Water Park, accessible within a short drive, provides additional family-oriented water recreation with slides, a lazy river, and pool facilities. Shore Point Cottages is busiest during the summer beach season from Memorial Day through Labor Day, when Ocean City's visitor volume peaks and cottage inventory throughout Worcester County fills quickly for weekend and weekly bookings. Memorial Day and Fourth of July weekends represent the most competitive booking windows, followed closely by August weekends when summer vacation demand is at its highest. Early-season reservations are strongly recommended for any summer stay, particularly for guests seeking the most desirable cottage positions during peak beach season. The combination of private fenced patios, dog-friendly facilities, beach and boardwalk proximity, and Assateague's wild pony coastline positions Shore Point Cottages as a particularly well-suited destination for travelers seeking a full-featured Eastern Shore cottage experience with natural and commercial attractions available within a short drive in both directions.
