Jellystone Park™ PA Wilds

71 RV Sites, 34 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Jellystone Park PA Wilds in Mansfield, Pennsylvania, offers 72 full-hookup back-in RV sites, 31 cabins, and three tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Full-hookup categories at 20/30-amp and 20/30/50-amp join a pool, mini-golf, jumping pillow, and golf cart rentals in Pennsylvania's Wilds. Seventy-two back-in sites run in full hookup 20/30-amp and full hookup 20/30/50-amp categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Pick the tier that matches your rig's service, and note that 75 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Thirty-one cabins — including the six-person Cardinal Inn — and three tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, restrooms, and golf cart rentals handle the practical side. Check-in is 3pm and checkout 11am, and day passes run $10 per person. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, a jumping pillow, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, a pond, playground, and live music filling the rest. Boating and fishing run nearby, and a state park is close. Pets are welcome. The PA Wilds is a 12,000-square-mile expanse of north-central wilderness where elk graze open meadows at dusk, the Pine Creek Gorge drops 1,000 feet through what is sometimes called Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon, and the night sky is dark enough to have earned one of the most significant dark sky designations in the eastern United States. Cherry Springs State Park is the destination for that. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

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.

Bike rentals, golf cart rentals, walking trails, hiking, biking, a clubhouse, playground, pavilion, dog park, and snack bar round it out. Birding along the river is productive, and a state park is nearby. Pets are welcome. The Susquehanna's broad river valley gives the resort a natural backdrop that the water park programming sits within rather than replacing. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Lake Heron Retreat in Liverpool, PA, offers 10 full-hookup RV sites, 3 cabins, and 3 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet.

Wildwood RV Resort

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.

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.

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.
