Welcome to the Juniata Valley RV Blog

We can’t think of a better way to spend quality time with your family than to hit the road in an RV. RV travel is adventurous and brings the family together unlike any other type of vacation. Any campground can be a great campground for a family RV vacation, but there are some that provide more family-friendly amenities than others, such as water slides, organized event nights, and outdoor activities. Juniata Valley RV’s home state is packed with campgrounds that offer fun for the whole family, so we’ve selected just a few of our favorites so your next family RV vacation in Pennsylvania will be a blast.

Pocono Mountains

Otter Lake Camp Resort

One of the most popular destinations for vacationers in Pennsylvania is the Pocono Mountains. This area is blanketed in natural beauty, rich forests and riverside beaches. If your family loves the outdoors, you won’t find a better vacation, and Otter Lake Camp Resort is the perfect family-friendly spot to adventure from. In addition to activities like swimming or fishing in the stocked 60-acre lake, there are planned activities so you’ll never have a dull moment. They offer things like fire truck rides, bingo nights, archery lessons and ceramics classes, so there’s something for everyone. And since you’re right in the heart of the Poconos, there are plenty of day trips to get out and explore the area as well.

Blue Rocks Family Campground

This campground in eastern Pennsylvania gets its name from a massive boulder field on its 100 acres. It’s a wonderful escape for families who like to spend their time exploring, as the property is home to miles of hiking trails, rock formations and streams. Blue Rocks bills itself as a “hiker’s paradise” where you can access the Appalachian Trail and see formations such as The Pinnacle and Pulpit Rock. That certainly doesn’t mean you have to be outdoorsy to enjoy your trip here, though. Does the family love classic cars? Check out the campground’s classic car garage. Like old-fashioned fun? Stop by the 1930s era soda fountain bar at Woody’s Filling Station. Need a campsite with conveniences? There’s a snack bar, gift shop, general store, propane station and golf cart rentals. No matter your interests, you’ll find something fun to do at Blue Rocks.

Hersheypark

Hersheypark Camping Resort

Everyone has heard of Hershey, Pennsylvania – if not the town, you know the candy company by the same name. Originally founded as a way for workers at the Hershey factory to have a little fun, the Hersheypark theme park is one of the biggest attractions in Hershey. Here, you’ll find water slides, roller coasters and candy-themed rides that both kids and grown-ups will love. If it sounds like the perfect family vacation, you’re right! And luckily Hersheypark makes an RV trip here easy with the Hersheypark Camping Resort. You’ll set up shop just outside of the theme park at a traditional campground and enjoy VIP park perks like early access, preferred pricing, and guaranteed Hersheypark reservations for the days of your visit. Of course, there’s a country store on-site that’s packed with treats and more. You’ll undoubtedly make some sweet memories here!

Splash Magic Campground

If a water park meets campground is your family’s idea of summer fun, head to Splash Magic Campground in Northumberland. This spot lives up to its name with waterside fun for the whole family. Here, you’ll find multiple pools, a splash park and two massive water slides for the kids to enjoy. You can also fish in the campground lake Dolphin Cove, rent paddleboat and rowboats, or try your hand at taking down the competition in water gun-armed bumper boats. The kids will love the foam pit and jumping pillow, and everyone can sit back and take in a movie at the outdoor theater. You’re also not far from an amusement park and the Little League Museum if you want to check out the area while you’re there.

Pennsylvania Dutch Country

Lake-In-Wood Campground

Another popular vacation draw in PA is visiting Pennsylvania Dutch Country. A family vacation here is equal parts educational and out of the ordinary, and it’s one your family will never forget. The camp sits come with all the modern conveniences like full hookups, concrete pads and access to laundry and bathroom facilities, but the experience is like stepping back in time. The park’s fictional hosts are gnomes, and you’ll find the theme woven throughout. Visit the Gnome Cafe for a bite to eat, or pick up a few things you forgot at the Trading Post. There’s also an ornate old-fashioned entertainment hall on site complete with a pipe organ. When it comes to activities, there’s plenty. Play a game of mini golf, basketball, volleyball or softball, hit the pool or rent rowboats, paddleboat or bicycles. You can also participate in organized activities like ceramics classes, bingo and fire engine rides. Don’t forget to venture out to see even more of Amish country while you’re in the area!
