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.

Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills, RV storage, and on-site dining cover the day-to-day, with cabins available for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome.

The property also serves as a wedding venue.

Nine sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp back-in configurations, with water-and-electric-only 20-amp sites also available, sized to 36 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, cable TV, and site WiFi. Note the 36-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Twenty-four tent sites make this notably tent-friendly. A general store, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. One important reminder from the operators: there is wildlife here, including black bears along with squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, and skunks. Keep all food in coolers inside your RV, trailer, or fifth wheel rather than out at the site. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a game room, playground, and walking trails on the grounds and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Jim Thorpe is sometimes called the Switzerland of America for its dramatic gorge setting, and the Victorian-era downtown is among the most architecturally remarkable in Pennsylvania. The Lehigh River's whitewater rafting corridor runs alongside, and the surrounding Poconos carry extensive hiking and biking trails. The resort serves the Pocono season. Summer rafting and October foliage are the two peak windows, drawing heavily from Philadelphia and New York. With nine RV sites, reserve well ahead for fall color weekends.

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.

Wildwood RV Resort

16 RV Sites

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.

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.

Cedar Lake Resort

On 76 acres of York County farmland north of the town of Dover in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country corridor, Cedar Lake Resort offers 195 campsites around a seven-acre fishing lake—a family-oriented campground that has built its reputation on the combination of lakeside setting, a family petting zoo, a swimming pool, planned weekly activities, and proximity to Gettysburg National Military Park and the Pennsylvania Dutch Country attractions that make York County one of central Pennsylvania's most rewarding camping destinations. The campground's full hookup sites, electric and water sites, tent camping, and cabin accommodations serve the full accommodation spectrum for families, couples, and history enthusiasts who make York County a camping destination rather than simply a corridor stop. One hundred ninety-five sites include full hookup options, electric and water sites, and tent-only sites spread across the 76-acre grounds, with each site featuring a picnic table and fire ring on level, stoned pads with easy access. A beautiful inground pool, a fully stocked 7-acre fishing lake, snack bar, game room, laundromat, LP gas, and a recreation hall serving as the hub for weekly planned activities provide the resort-level infrastructure for guests who want more from a campground than utilities and a level pad. The family petting zoo—a particular draw for younger campers—adds the agricultural touchstone that suits the Pennsylvania Dutch Country landscape surrounding the campground. The 7-acre lake at the campground's center provides a managed freshwater fishing environment stocked with species that make a fishing lake attractive across age ranges, giving young anglers the realistic expectation of success that builds lasting fishing enthusiasm. Swimming is available on the lake alongside the inground pool, giving the campground two distinct aquatic recreation options for warm summer days. The surrounding York County agricultural landscape provides the visual character of the Pennsylvania farm country that has been the backbone of central Pennsylvania's economic and cultural identity since the first German and Swiss settlers arrived in the late 17th century. Gettysburg National Military Park, about 35 miles west, preserves the three-day July 1863 battle that constitutes the largest land battle ever fought in North America—a 6,000-acre battlefield of ridges, fields, orchards, and monuments that requires multiple days to explore fully and rewards each visit with new tactical and human detail. The Pennsylvania Dutch Country's network of farmers markets, antique galleries, and farm-stand produce along the US Route 30 corridor between York and Lancaster provides the agricultural and culinary tourism that defines central Pennsylvania's leisure identity, and the York County Heritage Trust's network of museums in downtown York interprets the county's role in colonial and Revolutionary American history, including its brief service as the Continental Congress's meeting place in 1777-1778. York County's four-season climate makes Cedar Lake Resort functional from spring through fall with the typical Memorial Day through Labor Day peak season and shoulder season availability on both sides. Spring brings Pennsylvania countryside wildflowers and the green return to the campground's wooded areas, while fall's deciduous color peaks in October and provides the most spectacular visual backdrop for fishing on the seven-acre lake and evening campfires. The proximity to Gettysburg's reenactment season and the York Fair—one of the oldest agricultural fairs in the United States, held each September—gives autumn camping at Cedar Lake an appeal that extends well beyond the natural season.

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.

A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The property was formerly Lake in Wood Camping Resort. The six-acre lake anchors the recreation, with boat rentals, boat docks, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and boating from the shoreline. An outdoor pool and splash pad, hot tub and sauna, mini-golf, a game room, arcade, recreation center, fitness center, and clubhouse cover the rest, with sports courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, and shuffleboard outdoors. Golf cart rentals, walking trails, a dog park, barn, and on-site dining round it out, with live music and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Narvon sits in the working Amish farmland of eastern Lancaster County, in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Greene Hills Resort and Campground

19 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

Greene Hills Resort and Campground in Alexandria, Pennsylvania, offers 20 RV sites and four tent sites along a creek in Huntingdon County, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 55 feet. Riverfront back-ins join short-term and seasonal categories, with cabins and a pavilion on wooded grounds. Twenty back-in sites carry water and electric on 30 and 50-amp across short-term, riverfront, and seasonal categories, sized to 55 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. 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.
