French Creek State Park Campground

What you need to know about camping at a Pennsylvania State Park: The campsites are usually small and close together. The rules are strictly enforced, for example, no noise at night and no alcohol. PA park campgrounds are definitely not for partying. The campsites are usually small and close together. However, if you need assistance, the staff is usually very helpful. Before coming, read the reviews. Also, look at the camp maps online. Picking a site on a curve usually gets you more space. And there are You Tube videos where people film all the campsites in the parks. For more information look at each campground loop separately.

My family and I visited while we were in the area. My grandson loves to fish, and we’ve camped in Vermont, Massachusetts, and all over Maine; all the way to Bar Harbor. Tom knows I always have my fishing gear in the back of my car, and wanted to (you guessed it) Go Fishing! Neither of us with a PA freshwater license😖. That sure let the air out of his balloon until he found a friend that was camping. He immediately said he wanted to come back next summer😜🙄. What can of worms have I opened😳. No pun intended😂.

First time camping experience. The campground itself is beautiful and relaxing. Everyone was friendly, bathrooms/showers are very clean. Only minor complaint is the area we reserved to camp (A36) had a very rocky terrain with a lot of tree roots exposed. Our tent was pitched on a slant and had mini boulders underneath and it was the best spot on the site. I checked a few of the other camp sites and it seems hit or miss, some were worse than ours with rocks and tree roots and others were much better looking. Best advice if you can, go pick a site in person before reserving. Everything else was great. Had an awesome time. Pool was huge too. Lakes Hopewell and Scott's run were beautiful as well, we stopped by and fishes for a bit but didnt catch anything. Fishing would be much better if yo

Very nice state park for camping. We went tent camping for the first time. We appreciated the electric availability and the restrooms were very nicely maintained. We look forward to visiting again to explore all that the Park has to offer.

This was a great place to enjoy the fall colors. I was tent camping. If you are tent camping, it is hit and miss with regard to rocks and roots all around the campsites. If you do happen to find a nice level spot for your tent, it is typically covered in rocks. I recommend bringing a rake so that you can clear at least the most offensive rocks. Loop D was sparsely populated in the third week of October—very quiet and peaceful. It seems like the loops that are pet friendly were a little loud. One dog was barking enough for all the others, and that carried on for about half an hour. I’m glad I was not in a pet-friendly loop. The bathroom is super nice, but if you’re taking a shower, be advised: (1) after pressing the button to start a shower, you only get about eight seconds of water befor
