Riverbend RV Park

139 RV Sites

Riverbend RV Park sits in Blossvale, New York, on the southwestern shore of Oneida Lake—the largest lake entirely within New York State—where the park's waterfront position, boat dock access, and proximity to Sylvan Beach provide the full complement of inland lake resort camping that central New York's largest body of water sustains for seasonal campers and destination visitors. The campground is the East property of a two-park Riverbend operation in the Blossvale area, offering spacious wooded lakeside sites that accommodate any size RV in a setting where the water and the social infrastructure of the Sylvan Beach strip are both within reach. Full hookup sites with 5-way hookup service—electric, water, sewer, cable, and telephone—serve seasonal and short-term campers in a well-maintained site layout. Wooded sites with water views, cabins for enclosed accommodation, a playground, laundry, showers, walking trails, and boat docks provide the foundational amenities. Planned activities through the season and bird and wildlife watching in the lake corridor fill the recreation calendar, and the campground's Oneida Lake frontage provides swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and boating access from the property's own dock infrastructure. Oneida Lake's fishery is one of the most actively managed in New York State—the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation stocks the lake annually with walleye, yellow perch, and bass, supporting a sportfishery that draws serious anglers from across the Mohawk Valley and central New York for the walleye population that has made the lake locally famous. The lake's 79 square miles of open water provide habitat for all of these species across a range of depth and structure conditions, and the early ice-out season each spring triggers the walleye activity that signals the opening of the central New York fishing season. Sylvan Beach, about two miles from the campground, provides the entertainment infrastructure that transforms a camping trip on Oneida Lake into a genuinely social destination: a small amusement park, the Lake House Casino at Sylvan Beach, the Crazy Clam, and the waterfront restaurants and ice cream shops that have made Sylvan Beach central New York's classic summer beach town since the late nineteenth century. The town's combination of carnival atmosphere, lake access, and walking-distance bars and restaurants gives it a nostalgic summer resort character that remains largely unchanged by the development that has transformed other Great Lakes tourism communities. Riverbend RV Park operates through the upstate New York camping season, typically May through October, in a lake climate where Oneida Lake's thermal mass moderates the temperature swings that inland central New York experiences and the long summer days provide maximum time on the water. The fall walleye season in September and October drives some of the most dedicated fishing traffic of the year, and the early spring ice-out period begins the season that seasonal campers return to establish for the summer. Rome and Utica are within easy reach for urban amenity access when needed, and the Erie Canal corridor to the south provides historical cycling and boating context for the broader Mohawk Valley region.

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.

Kittatinny K-Camp

58 RV Sites, 13 Cabins, 270 Tent Sites

Kittatinny K-Camp in Barryville, New York, offers 58 full-hookup RV sites, 13 cabins, and 270 tent sites on the Upper Delaware, with 20 and 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 30 feet. Creekside standard, deluxe, and standard back-in categories join a beach, pond, on-site dining, and a bar in the National Park Service river corridor. Fifty-eight back-in sites run in creekside standard, deluxe, and standard categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20 and 30-amp, sized to 30 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around before booking: the 30-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern coaches, and service tops out at 30-amp. The creekside category sits along a hemlock-shaded trout stream and is the one to request. Two hundred seventy tent sites make this overwhelmingly a tent property — a scale of tent camping almost no other campground matches. Thirteen cabins round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and portable toilets handle the practical side. A daily resort fee covers the playground, bathhouses, and on-site boating amenities. A beach and pond anchor the recreation, with the Delaware carrying canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. Walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, on-site dining, a bar, and productive birding fill the rest. Fourteen miles south of Narrowsburg, the property sits inside the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River corridor — 73 miles of one of the East's last free-flowing major rivers. Summer paddling season is the peak. Reserve well ahead.

Wildwood RV Resort

16 RV Sites

Tucked into the wooded hills of Juniata County near East Waterford, Pennsylvania, Wildwood RV Resort offers an immersive natural retreat built around oversized lots, a diverse wildlife community, and the quiet, clean character that draws seasonal regulars and weekend visitors back to this corner of central Pennsylvania's Tuscarora Mountain ridge country. White-tailed deer, rabbits, squirrels, and a consistent chorus of woodland birds define the daily backdrop of a stay here—a natural environment that complements the resort's commitment to providing outdoor-centered relaxation alongside structured recreation options. The resort's oversized lots provide more space per site than typical campgrounds, giving guests room to spread out and set up outdoor living areas that extend the camping experience beyond the rig or cabin. A swimming pool with an adjacent spa serves as the warm-weather centerpiece of on-site recreation, and a dog park accommodates guests traveling with pets. Laundry facilities, a well-stocked camp store, and a clean restroom and shower building handle practical daily needs, while the resort's gazebo positioned beside an on-site pond provides a tranquil outdoor space for relaxed picnic hours or quiet evening reading. Glamping cabins round out the accommodation options for guests who want a mountain cabin experience without the logistical requirements of towing a rig into the hills of Juniata County. Cabin options range from more primitive configurations suited to guests seeking a rustic experience to fully equipped units with kitchen and bathroom facilities for groups wanting indoor comfort. The playground and arcade keep younger guests entertained during downtime between outdoor activities, and basketball, outdoor games, and resort-wide trails support active recreation for all ages. Tuscarora State Forest, accessible from the East Waterford area, encompasses miles of hiking and hunting trails through the forested ridge terrain of the Tuscarora Mountain system—one of the long parallel ridges that characterize the Pennsylvania Valley and Ridge physiographic province. The surrounding Juniata River Valley is known for smallmouth bass fishing, and the broader region's rural character makes it a particularly appealing destination for guests seeking a genuine escape from metropolitan Pennsylvania into undeveloped woodland and river country. Wildwood RV Resort is open seasonally, with summer and early fall representing the busiest periods for both weekend guests and seasonal site holders who return year after year to the same site. The resort's mix of seasonal campers, weekend visitors, and cabin guests creates a multigenerational community character that new arrivals typically note as a distinguishing feature of the experience. Advance reservations are recommended for summer holiday weekends, when the resort's combination of wildlife, wooded setting, and family amenities makes it a popular choice across central Pennsylvania. The Tuscarora Mountain corridor of central Pennsylvania is part of the Ridge and Valley physiographic province—a system of long, parallel wooded ridges and fertile valleys that extends from New York to Alabama and gives this part of the state a landscape character unlike the rolling farmland of the piedmont or the plateau terrain of the northern tier. Seasonal hunting, wildlife observation, and fall color drives through the mountain corridors are popular pursuits for guests who return to the resort year after year.
