Top Winter Campgrounds in Pennsylvania

Spring and summer are the prime seasons for campers here in Pennsylvania, but some RVers prefer to enjoy the great outdoors year-round. As a blanket of snow coats the campground, campers enjoy the peace and quiet cuddled together around the RV’s electric fireplace. With all the winter activities in PA, it’s not surprising that winter RV camping is a popular choice. We gathered this list of the best winter campgrounds in Pennsylvania so, this season, you can try your hand at camping in the cold.

French Creek State Park

This state park and campground is open year-round. French Creek State Park spans almost 8,000 acres through the Schuylkill Highlands. They have cottages and cabins to rent, and full-hookup sites for winter RV camping. The forests, lakes and wetlands that make up the state park are ideal for visitors to hike, fish, camp and bike. In winter months, the hiking trails and open areas of the park are perfect for skiing with proper snow cover.

Riverside Campground

In Montgomery, PA, Riverside Campground is a great destination for winter RV camping. This campground offers cabin rentals April through October and full-hookup RV sites year-round. There are 135 RV and tent camping sites available, some on the riverfront and others that border Montgomery Park.

The Loose Caboose Campground

Winter in Amish country is as peaceful as it gets! The Loose Caboose Campground in Lancaster County is known for its large, wooded areas and secluded sites. Of course, you’re not far from nearby tourist attractions, but you’d never know it from the quiet of this campground. Loose Caboose also participates in Tents for Troops, which helps veterans find complementary campsites where they can relax and enjoy time spent in the great outdoors!

Shady Rest Campground

While winter campgrounds are perfect for relaxation, the enjoyment of winter outdoor activities can’t be overlooked! Shady Rest Campground in Union Dale, PA, is open year-round. While the wooded campground offers plenty of serene nights, it’s popular in winter because it’s just a few minutes down the road from Elk Mountain Ski Resort. It’s easy to enjoy winter activities before tucking into the RV at night at Shady Rest Campground.
