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.

1 RV Site, 5 Cabins

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.
