Rustic Acres RV Resort & Campground
Shippenville, Pennsylvania
28 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites, 2 Glamping Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer
Rustic Acres RV Resort and Campground in Shippenville, Pennsylvania, offers 29 RV sites, six tent sites, and two glamping sites in the Clarion River watershed, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. A back-in full-hookup category with a private backyard joins pull-through tiers at both amperages, with EV charging, a craft room, and a dog park.
Twenty-nine sites span back-in full hookup 30-amp with backyard, back-in, pull-thru full hookup 50-amp, and pull-thru full hookup 30-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. The site with a private backyard is a genuine find. EV charging is still uncommon at RV parks. Six tent sites and two glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, showers, firewood, RV storage, and a craft room handle the practical side. The resort is LGBTIQA+ friendly.
A playground, community fire pit, dog park, and creek fill the grounds. The trails are the standout — the campground is adjacent to 3,000 acres of wooded state game lands with ATV roads and hiking trails, accessible directly from your site. Offroading, boating, a state park, and wine tasting are nearby, with productive birding and live music through the season.
The property has run as a family retreat for more than 65 years, in Clarion County near the Allegheny National Forest.
Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead for October.
