James Creek RV Resort

1 RV Site, 5 Cabins

James Creek RV Resort in James Creek, PA, offers 1 RV site and 5 cabins, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for a rig up to 38 feet. The single RV site is a back-in carrying water and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. The site reservation includes up to 8 people, which makes it workable for a family rather than a couple. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, boat storage, and personal mailboxes cover the practical side, and the five cabins mean a reunion group can book the property together. Pets are welcome. The amenity list is that of a full resort: an outdoor pool, mini-golf, a clubhouse, a snack bar, on-site dining, sport courts, basketball, volleyball, a pavilion, a barn, a playground, and walking trails, with fishing, swimming, and hiking on the creek and lake. James Creek sits in Huntingdon County in the Raystown Lake corridor of central Pennsylvania, in the Juniata River valley, with a state park nearby. Rates for the RV site and cabins are on the booking page. One RV site — call to book.

Glendale Valley Campground

19 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

Glendale Valley Campground in Fallentimber, Pennsylvania, offers 17 full-hookup RV sites and seven tent sites at the edge of the Allegheny Plateau, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 42 feet behind a gated entrance. Pull-through and standard categories join EV charging, a beach, boat ramp, recreation center, and sports courts. Seventeen sites run in pull-through standard and standard categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple. Seven tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, firewood, and EV charging handle the practical side — charging is still uncommon at campgrounds this size and worth knowing about if you tow with an electric vehicle. A beach and boat ramp open the water for boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming, with a recreation center, sports courts, volleyball, gaga ball, walking trails, hiking, biking, mountain biking, and a playground filling the rest. Live music and planned activities run through the season, and the mountain sky makes for good stargazing. The campground sits two miles from Prince Gallitzin State Park — Pennsylvania's third most visited — which protects 1,635-acre Glendale Lake and 26 miles of forested shoreline. DelGrosso's Amusement Park, Tytoona Cave, the Ghost Town Trail, Rock Run Recreation Park, and Altoona Curve baseball are all close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in the Alleghenies. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends and peak October color.

16 RV Sites

Wildwood RV Resort in East Waterford, Pennsylvania, offers 16 full-hookup RV sites on oversized lots in the wooded hills of Juniata County, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet.

Sixteen sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple, and the oversized lots are what guests notice first — real space between sites rather than the packed rows common at this size. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, a business center, and golf cart rentals handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and spa anchor the summer, with a beach and pond for swimming, fishing, boating, and paddle boats. A recreation center, craft room, arcade, pavilion, playground, dog park, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, biking, on-site dining, and a snack bar fill the rest, with planned activities through the season. The resort sits alongside the scenic Tuscarora Mountains in western Perry County, 15 miles north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and about an hour west of Harrisburg. The diverse wildlife on the property and the quiet, clean character are what bring seasonal regulars and weekend visitors back, and the Tuscarora State Forest and Little Buffalo State Park are close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in central Pennsylvania. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends and October color.

A bathhouse with showers, firewood, a dump station, and a pavilion cover the essentials, with cabins for guests without a rig. Multi-month RV sites are available by application with a deposit — worth asking about if you want a season here. Pets are welcome.

Fantasy Island Campground

16 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Fantasy Island Campground occupies Packer Island in the Susquehanna River near Sunbury, Pennsylvania, offering 17 full-hookup back-in RV sites and two cabins with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 42 feet. A single back-in category joins an outdoor pool, mini-golf, boat docks, clubhouse, and community fire pit. Seventeen back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits. One consistent category and no guesswork. Two cabins and onsite RV rentals round out the lodging. A general store, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Two policies to plan around: extra vehicles beyond your RV and tow vehicle park in overflow rather than at the site, and there is a two-night minimum on weekends and three nights on holidays. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with boat docks opening the river for boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. Mini-golf, a clubhouse, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, and shuffleboard fill the rest. Pets are welcome. Being on a river island is the distinguishing feature and not something many campgrounds can claim. Packer Island sits in the Upper Susquehanna between the historic communities of Northumberland and Sunbury, with water on every side — the West Branch and the North Branch of the Susquehanna meet just upstream, forming the longest river on the East Coast. Shikellamy State Park's overlook is close, with Knoebels Amusement Resort a short drive east. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and plan around the weekend minimum.

Twenty tent sites and cabins round out the accommodations. A general store, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with a gated entrance controlling access. Note that while the park tries to accommodate specific site requests, the on-site manager makes the final placement decision. Horse paddocks and on-site fishing guides are the distinguishing amenities — genuine equestrian infrastructure and local angling knowledge in one property. A hot tub and sauna, game room, playground, community fire pit, on-site dining, volleyball, basketball, corn hole, boating, and swimming fill the rest. Pets are welcome. The campground sits beside Cook Forest in the Allegheny National Forest region, where old-growth hemlock, clear trout streams, and the timber heritage of the Pennsylvania Wilds create one of the most scenically rewarding camping environments in the eastern United States.

Hominy Ridge Cabins and Gift Shop

6 Cabins

Hominy Ridge Cabins and Gift Shop in Clarington, PA, offers 6 cabins on seven private acres of hemlock and hardwood forest. This is a cabin glamping retreat rather than a serviced RV park — the published record shows no RV sites or hookups, so contact them directly if you're traveling in a rig. One thing to arrange before booking: a $250 security deposit hold is required on all reservations, so make sure funds are available on the card you'll use. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, a boutique shop, firewood, a spa, and a hot tub and sauna serve guests. The property is open all year, and pets are welcome. There's a playground. Picnicking and the forest itself fill the grounds, with a state park nearby and boating close. Clarington sits in the Clarion River country of Forest and Clarion Counties in northwestern Pennsylvania, near Cook Forest State Park's old-growth white pine and hemlock — some of the last uncut forest in the East. Rates for the cabins are on the booking page. Arrange the deposit hold in advance, and call about RV accommodation before you tow.
