Pennsylvania Campground Fees, Hookups & Reservations
No fee data in the federal directory. We report the reservable-vs-first-come split by agency; nightly fees and hookup specifics live on each campground's Recreation.gov page. Federal coverage only.
Pennsylvania has 53 federal campgrounds managed through the Recreation.gov system. Of these, 51 campgrounds operate on a reservation basis, allowing visitors to book sites in advance. Two campgrounds operate on a first-come, first-served basis, where sites are available on a daily basis without prior reservation.
Fees and RV hookup availability vary significantly by facility and are not standardized across federal campgrounds in the state. Visitors should consult each individual campground's Recreation.gov page to confirm current pricing, reservation windows, and specific hookup options such as electrical, water, and sewer connections. This ensures accurate planning before making a trip.
Where fees and hookups actually live
The federal directory tracks who manages a campground, how many sites it has and whether it's reservable — but not nightly fees or RV hookups, which differ site to site. For those, open the campground's Recreation.gov page, where current fees, hookup types and the reservation window are listed.
| Managing agency | Reservable | First-come |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. Army Corps of Engineers | 35 | 2 |
| U.S. Forest Service | 12 | 0 |
| National Park Service | 4 | 0 |
Common questions
Do Pennsylvania federal campgrounds have RV hookups?
Some do and some don't — hookup availability isn't in the federal directory data, so check each campground's Recreation.gov page for water, electric and sewer details.
How much does it cost to camp?
Fees vary by facility and aren't part of the federal export, so we don't quote a price. Each Recreation.gov facility page shows its current nightly fee.
