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.

Route 6 Campground

Route 6 Campground in Gaines, Pennsylvania, offers full-hookup RV sites, cabin rentals, and tent spaces along a peaceful pond on the historic Route 6 corridor in Tioga County. A general store, boutique shop, on-site dining, and a pavilion serve guests exploring the Pennsylvania Wilds. Full-hookup RV sites carry water, sewer, and electric on well-maintained grounds, with cabin rentals and tent spaces rounding out the accommodations. A general store, boutique shop, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout and on-site dining for meals. Pets are welcome. The pond anchors the setting, with fishing from the water and walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, and a pavilion across the grounds. A golf course and state park are nearby. The property is deliberately unhurried, which suits the corridor it sits on. Pennsylvania Route 6 is often called the Grand Army of the Republic Highway and is recognized as one of the state's most scenic byways, running through a landscape of ridges, valleys, and the deeply forested terrain of the Pennsylvania Wilds. Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon — the Pine Creek Gorge — is the region's headline attraction, with state forest wilderness and genuinely unspoiled rural country throughout. The campground serves the northern tier season. Summer hiking and paddling on Pine Creek and October foliage in the Wilds drive the heaviest demand, with the Grand Canyon overlooks drawing visitors from across the Northeast in fall. Reserve well ahead for foliage weekends.

Picnicking areas spread through the trees, and the 45 acres give the campground a genuine sense of remove from the summer crowds on the Finger Lakes proper. Pets are welcome. Cohocton sits in the Cohocton River valley in the Southern Tier, within reach of the Keuka Lake wine district, the Corning Museum of Glass, and the waterfalls at Watkins Glen. State park access is close by. The campground runs the upstate New York season, with summer families and fall foliage driving demand.

Back-Achers Campsites

12 RV Sites, 13 Tent Sites

Back-Achers Campsites in Himrod, NY, offers 12 RV sites and 13 tent sites, with 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites are standard back-ins carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp campground throughout, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management, and the 40-foot maximum keeps it to mid-size rigs. A bathhouse with showers, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a snack bar, and a pavilion cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a playground on the grounds. Walking trails, horseshoes, picnicking, swimming, and boating on the lake fill the days, with the tent sites outnumbering the RV sites — this is a campground first and an RV park second. Himrod sits on the secluded western shore of Seneca Lake, the largest and deepest of the Finger Lakes at 36 miles long, in the heart of Finger Lakes wine country. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Summer weekends on Seneca book early.

Woodstream Campsite

Woodstream Campsite in Gainesville, New York, offers full-hookup RV sites, tent camping, and cabins alongside a fishing creek in Wyoming County's Western New York farmland. An outdoor pool, mini-golf, and a game room serve a classic, no-fuss family campground south of Letchworth State Park. Full-hookup RV sites serve guests with rigs, with tent camping and cabins covering the rest. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. One important planning note: the campground closes for the season over winter and reopens each spring, so confirm dates before booking a shoulder-season stay. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, a game room, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, and horseshoes across the grounds, plus a playground and pavilion. A creek, pond, and lake on the property support fishing, and biking and swimming run from camp. Food trucks visit and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Gainesville sits in Wyoming County's agricultural hill country in the Genesee River valley, and the wooded campsite privacy and rural character are the appeal. Letchworth State Park is the headline attraction close by — one of the most spectacular gorge landscapes in the eastern United States, and remarkable natural scenery at short-drive distance from a quiet farmland campground. The season runs spring through fall. Summer families and October foliage at Letchworth drive the heaviest demand — reserve ahead for fall color weekends, when the gorge draws visitors from across the Northeast.

Milroy sits in the rolling limestone valleys of Mifflin County in central Pennsylvania's ridge-and-valley country, about 30 minutes from Penn State and the Nittany Valley.

Bear Creek Lake

8 RV Sites

Bear Creek Lake in Franklinville, New York, offers 8 full-hookup RV sites across 750 acres of forested hills and meadows, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Back-in and pull-through categories join a private 15-acre lake, outdoor pool, recreation center, tennis and pickleball courts, and food trucks. Eight sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple, and 60 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side.

Seven hundred fifty acres and a private lake for eight RV sites is an extraordinary ratio — guests essentially have a small resort's worth of land to themselves, and horseback riding and mountain biking on the property are not things most campgrounds this size can offer. Cattaraugus County sits in the Enchanted Mountains of New York's southern tier, minutes from Ellicottville — a genuine four-season resort village with Holiday Valley's skiing and mountain biking. Access is easy via SR-16 north to SR-400 from I-90. Summer and fall foliage drive demand, with ski season extending it. Reserve well ahead.
