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.

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.

Greene Hills Resort and Campground

19 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

The riverfront category is worth requesting. Four tent sites and cabins round out the accommodations. Restrooms and firewood handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The creek and the wooded hills are the offering. A playground and pavilion serve families and groups, and the property's real appeal is the dark sky and the quiet — the stars genuinely show here, and the pace of the Juniata River valley countryside is the reason guests return. Alexandria sits in Huntingdon County in central Pennsylvania's Ridge and Valley province, one of the least-developed and most geologically compelling corners of the state. The surrounding ridgeline and reservoir landscape puts hiking, fishing, and boating within easy reach without the crowds of the state's better-known destinations. The campground serves the Pennsylvania season, with summer families and October foliage in the ridge country driving the heaviest demand. With 20 sites split between seasonal and short-term guests, reserve well ahead for any weekend.

Rivers Edge RV Park & Campground

2 RV Sites

Rivers Edge RV Park & Campground in Mifflintown, Pennsylvania, offers full-hookup back-in RV sites along the Juniata River with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 54 feet. A river deck, game room, and playground sit on tree-shaded grounds in Juniata County — with one booking requirement worth reading before you reserve. Back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 54 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The important policy: RV sites booked between May 16 and September 1 require prepaid movie tickets for each child and adult on the reservation, and failure to include them can affect your booking. Confirm the current terms when you reserve — this is unusual and easy to miss. The river deck is the property's defining social space, where guests settle with coffee in the morning and cold drinks at sunset to watch the Juniata's current. A game room and playground serve families, and the tree shade is genuine across the grounds. Pets are welcome. Mifflintown sits on the Juniata River 15 miles east of Lewistown, in central Pennsylvania's ridge and valley country. The agricultural and woodland landscape of the Juniata valley sets an unhurried pace, and the river town character is the appeal. The campground serves the Pennsylvania season, with the May-to-September window carrying both peak demand and the movie ticket requirement. Fall foliage in the ridge country draws a quieter second wave. Reserve ahead for summer weekends.

from $55/night

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.

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.

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.
