Campgrounds near Colver, Pennsylvania
Colver sits in central Cambria County on the Allegheny Plateau, about seven miles northwest of Ebensburg at roughly 2,170 feet of elevation. It is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Cambria Township, in the northwestern part of the county. The area is rural, wooded, and higher than the surrounding valleys, so RV campers tend to see cooler nights and a shorter warm-weather camping window than in Pittsburgh or Harrisburg.
Most RV-friendly options near Colver cluster to the north around the Patton and Glendale Lake areas, and to the south toward the Blue Knob ridge. Rock Run Recreation Area, located in Patton, Pennsylvania, offers 140 miles of diverse trails across 6,000 acres in the Allegheny Mountains, making it an ideal spot for ATV, UTV, and dirt bike riders. Glendale Valley Campground and Mirror Lake RV Camping and Fishing serve travelers who want water access and quieter family sites, while Weimers RV 764 Campground / Scott$ Arcade offers a roadside stop with hookups.
For a state-park experience within an hour's drive, Blue Knob State Park anchors the southern end of the region on Pennsylvania's second-highest peak.
Things to do near Colver
Off-road riding is the headline activity in this corner of the Alleghenies. Rock Run offers 140 miles of diverse trails across 6,000 acres, with routes developed alongside OHV community volunteers to suit riders of all experience levels. The staging area sits near Patton, and on-site facilities support multi-day trips built around the trail network.
Hiking, fishing, and mountain biking round out the shoulder-season options. Blue Knob State Park draws families for fishing, hunting, hiking, mountain biking, and downhill skiing at the adjacent resort. Glendale Lake, near Glendale Valley Campground, adds boating and warm-water fishing, and Mirror Lake RV Camping and Fishing gives anglers a base close to the water.
History travelers can also detour through the Colver Historic District, one of the region's intact company-built coal towns.

The RV season in Cambria County is defined by the state-park calendar and the region's mountain elevation. Blue Knob State Park's campground typically operates from early spring through late fall, and private parks near Colver generally follow a similar April-through-October pattern, with a few offering limited winter service.
Late spring and early summer bring reliable trail conditions and mild days, but nights stay cool on the plateau. The elevation can make air temperatures several degrees cooler than surrounding cities, and Blue Knob receives heavy winter snowfall as one of Pennsylvania's highest points. July and August are peak booking months for ATV riders at Rock Run and for family sites at Glendale Valley Campground and Mirror Lake RV Camping and Fishing.
Fall brings foliage across the Allegheny ridges and quieter campgrounds after Labor Day. Winter closes most sites, and snow and ice can make access roads to Blue Knob and back-road parks difficult for larger rigs.

The camper was well stocked, clean, and comfortable. This is the 2nd time we rented from mike and he is very accommodating. Next time ill have to remember not to pack so much. They even thought of is when the nights got cold and brought us another propane tank, just in case, and we didnt even have to ask. Thanks Mike, for another wonderful fall adventure.

What an incredible first experience! Tony is an outstanding host. He thoroughly went over the RV with me and communication was on point. The value matched the cost. The RV was so fun to drive. It was super clean, and very comfortable. We will be renting again for sure!
Kathleen C. - Aug 2025
This was a great RV for our camping trip to see fall foliage. It slept our group of 3 adults and 2 children very comfortably (particularly with a slider that allowed for a soft and full queen bed), had space to socialize, play games, and warm up from the outside. The stove and oven cooked beautifully and had enough heat to power through a large meal; the water could be adjusted to very hot, which was fantastic. The bathroom was roomy enough for a shower and sink. The fridge/freezer had plenty of space and kept everything nice and cold. I can’t say enough good things about the heat, it was powerful and immediate; we ended up being in some unexpectedly frosty and windy weather but never even noticed inside. Everyone slept like babies! There is storage space in a large compartment on the outside and multiple small cabinets for things inside. The power and water hook-up is a breeze, the dumping the same. You have large windows and plenty of inside lighting. As the driver, I appreciated how large my windshield viewing area was and it handled well. The only small flaw was the cracking and flaking of the seat and armrest upholstery but that was strictly cosmetic and had no negative impact on our enjoyment. Tony was a pleasure to deal with and very responsive. A positive experience all the way around!

How to book campgrounds near Colver
State-park sites use Pennsylvania's central reservation system through the DCNR portal, operated by ReserveAmerica. Blue Knob State Park sites can be booked up to a year in advance, and summer weekends and holiday periods sell out early, so booking in winter for a July or August trip is normal.
Rock Run Recreation Area describes itself as a riding facility rather than a camping facility, and reservations are handled directly through the park rather than a state system. Cancellation and refund terms are set by the park office, so campers should confirm current policy when booking.
Private parks such as Glendale Valley Campground, Weimers RV 764 Campground / Scott$ Arcade, and Mirror Lake RV Camping and Fishing take reservations by phone or through their own websites. Book hookup sites first if traveling with a larger RV.
What to expect on-site
Sites in this region range from primitive gravel pads to full-hookup pull-throughs. Rock Run features extensive camping options, including primitive sites and electric hookup sites spread across multiple campgrounds. The Clayworks Campground features 16 electrified campsites with both 30 and 50 amp hookups, sites 80 feet long and about 30 feet wide, all pull-through.
State-park camping is more rustic. Blue Knob's campground features shaded sites, clean bathrooms with showers, and water at central locations rather than at individual sites, with access also available at the dump station. Sites can be rocky, terrain makes some spots hard to park, and the mountain location stays notably cooler than surrounding areas.
Expect limited cell service on back roads, black-bear country food-storage rules, and cool overnight temperatures even in July.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Colver, PA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Colver, PA?
Good news: RV rental in Colver, PA tends to be more affordable than in big metro areas, which makes Cambria County a smart pick for budget-conscious travelers. On RVezy, you can usually find travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night, campervans from about $125 to $200, and Class C motorhomes from roughly $175 to $300, with pricing set by each local host. Mid-week trips in May or September are noticeably cheaper than peak July weekends. Pro tip: filter for instant book and bundle the host's add-ons (camp chairs, generator, propane fill) up front to lock in your total cost before you head out toward Glendale Lake.
visitpa.com/blog/post/rv-camping-pennsylvania/Do I need a special license to rent an RV in Colver, PA?
Great news for first-timers: a regular Class C Pennsylvania driver's license (the standard car license most people already carry) is all you need for nearly every RV on RVezy in Colver. PennDOT only requires a non-commercial Class B license for single motorhomes over 26,000 pounds, and the vast majority of campervans, travel trailers, and Class C motorhomes you'll rent locally fall well under that weight. You'll need to be 25 or older to book on RVezy, and the platform verifies your ID digitally before pickup, so there's no DMV paperwork on your end. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit alongside your home license and you're set to explore the Alleghenies.
pa.gov/agencies/dmvWhat protection comes with my RV rental in Colver?
You can book with real peace of mind: every RV rental on RVezy in Colver includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, automatically. The protection plan covers most physical damage to the RV during your trip, so you are not on the hook for the full value of a stranger's motorhome if something unexpected happens on a back road near Ebensburg or up by Prince Gallitzin State Park. You choose your coverage tier during checkout (not the host), and you can step up to a higher level for extra cushion. Click through the protection options at booking to see what fits your Cambria County trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Colver RV rental?
Booking is lower-risk than you might think. RVezy (not the individual host) sets the cancellation policy, and there is a grace-period window right after booking where you can cancel for a full refund as long as your trip start is far enough away. After that, refund amounts depend on how far out your trip is. If your host ever has to cancel, you are fully refunded or offered travel credit. You will see the exact cancellation terms in your reservation details before you pay, and RVezy support is reachable if your plans change in the Laurel Highlands.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Colver?
Absolutely, finding a pet-friendly RV rental in Colver is easy: just toggle the 'Pet-Friendly' filter on RVezy and you will see hosts in Cambria County who welcome dogs (and often cats) along for the ride. Once you are out exploring, Pennsylvania state parks like Prince Gallitzin allow leashed pets at designated pet-friendly campsites, and the park's trails are great for stretching four legs after a drive. Bring proof of rabies vaccination, a 6-foot leash, and waste bags. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any shedding-cleanup expectations so checkout is smooth.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/what-to-do/stay-overnight/rv-and-tent-campsites.htmlCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near Colver?
Yes, RV delivery in Colver is one of the most popular options for first-timers and families. Many local hosts will drive the motorhome or travel trailer right to your campsite at Prince Gallitzin State Park, Duman Lake County Park, or a private campground, then level it, hook up water and 30/50-amp electric, and walk you through every system before they leave. You skip the stress of towing or backing in a 30-foot rig on Route 422. Delivery fees vary by distance (often a flat fee plus per-mile rate), so message the host with your exact destination to get a quote, then you just show up with your groceries and start your Colver RV trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Colver%2C%20PennsylvaniaHow far can I drive on my Colver RV rental?
You've got serious range to play with. Each host sets the mileage policy on their listing, and many Colver-area hosts on RVezy offer 100 to 150 free miles per day with reasonable per-mile rates beyond that, while some advertise RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is perfect for longer loops. From Colver, Prince Gallitzin State Park is only about 12 miles north, Johnstown Flood National Memorial is around 30 miles south, Raystown Lake sits roughly 65 miles southeast, and Pittsburgh is about 90 miles west. For a Pittsburgh-and-back weekend, even a capped mileage plan works comfortably. Filter by mileage policy on the search page to match your route.
nps.gov/jofl/index.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Colver, PA to park my RV?
You're spoiled for choice within a short drive. Prince Gallitzin State Park (about 12 miles north in Patton) is the local crown jewel, with 437 campsites, electric hookups, modern restrooms, and direct access to 1,635-acre Glendale Lake for boating and fishing. Duman Lake County Park, run by Cambria County just minutes from Colver, allows self-contained RV camping with electric and water hydrants near the pavilions. Blue Knob State Park (around an hour south) is great for cooler mountaintop nights, and Bonny Brook Campground near Loretto offers full-hookup private sites. Pro tip: book Prince Gallitzin lakefront sites 11 months ahead through the PA State Parks reservation system for summer weekends.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/what-to-do/stay-overnight/rv-and-tent-campsitesWhen is the best time to rent an RV in Colver, PA?
Honestly, late May through mid-October is the sweet spot for RV camping in Colver, with September and early October being the hidden gem. Summer highs in Cambria County sit comfortably in the upper 70s to low 80s°F, while crisp fall days run 55 to 68°F with the Allegheny hardwoods turning brilliant orange and red, ideal foliage drives along Route 219. Winters here are genuinely snowy and cold (average January lows near 17°F), so most campgrounds including Prince Gallitzin close their full-service loops by late October. Pro tip: book the weekend after Labor Day, you'll get warm days, cold-beer evenings, and half the crowds of July.
weather.gov/ctp/I've never rented an RV before, will I be okay?
You'll be more than okay, first time renting an RV is genuinely fun when your host has your back. Every RVezy booking in Colver starts with an in-person walkthrough where the owner shows you how to run the generator, dump the tanks, deploy the awning, and operate the propane stove and furnace. Most hosts hand you a printed cheat sheet, and you can text them anytime during your trip. Local roads like PA Route 271 and US 422 are wide and lightly trafficked outside Ebensburg, so you'll build confidence quickly. Pro tip: do a slow lap around the campground loop before you hit the highway, you'll feel like a pro by the second turn.
pa.gov/agencies/dmvWhat if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You are never stranded. Every RV rental in Colver includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on Route 271, a dead battery at Duman Lake, or a sluggish slide-out gets a real person on the phone fast. Your host is also a direct line: most Colver-area owners respond quickly and know exactly which local mechanic or RV service shop in Johnstown or Altoona handles their rig. RVezy customer support backs you up before, during, and after the trip. Save the roadside number in your phone at pickup, then relax and enjoy the Alleghenies.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best RV road trips from Colver, PA?
A Colver RV trip puts you within easy striking distance of some genuinely cool destinations. Popular routes for an RV road trip from Colver include heading about 30 miles south to Johnstown for the Flood National Memorial and Inclined Plane, then continuing into the Laurel Highlands for Ohiopyle State Park and Fallingwater (about 90 miles). Pittsburgh sits roughly 90 miles west for a city-meets-camping weekend at nearby Raccoon Creek State Park. History buffs love the run east to Gettysburg (about 140 miles), and adventurers can tackle Raystown Lake (about 65 miles) for boating. Cross-border trip to Canada? Message the host before booking, Mexico travel is not permitted under RVezy coverage.
nps.gov/jofl/index.htmHow much should I budget for fuel on a Colver RV trip?
Fuel is easier to plan than you'd think. Most Class C motorhomes you'll rent in Cambria County get around 8 to 12 miles per gallon (MPG), campervans average 14 to 20 MPG, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle (figure 10 to 14 MPG combined). Gas in the Colver/Ebensburg area typically runs $3.30 to $3.85 per gallon, with the Sheetz on US 219 and the Martin's in Patton usually offering the best prices nearby. For a 250-mile weekend loop to Prince Gallitzin, Johnstown, and back, budget roughly $80 to $110 in fuel for a Class C. Pro tip: fill up before you leave town, prices climb closer to the Turnpike.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far ahead should I book a campground near Colver?
Reserve early and you will get the lakefront spot you actually want. Pennsylvania State Parks open reservations 11 months in advance through the official reservation system, and Prince Gallitzin's waterfront electric sites at Glendale Lake sell out for summer weekends almost as soon as that window opens. For Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day, aim to book at least 4 to 6 months out. Shoulder-season trips in May, September, and early October can often be snagged just a week or two ahead. Private campgrounds and Duman Lake County Park typically take phone reservations. Pro tip: lock in your RV on RVezy first, then book the campsite the same day.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/what-to-do/stay-overnight.htmlWhat's it like driving an RV around Colver and Cambria County?
Driving here is refreshingly low-stress compared to most of the East Coast. Colver sits in rural Cambria County where main routes like US 422, PA 271, and PA 53 are two-lane but well-maintained, with gentle Allegheny grades rather than white-knuckle mountain passes. Watch for occasional low-clearance railroad underpasses in older boroughs like Ebensburg and Patton, always run your route in your GPS's 'RV mode' to avoid them. Winter brings real snow from December through March, so most RV trips run April through October. Pro tip: avoid PA Route 56 east of Johnstown in your first hour behind the wheel, it's twisty and steep. Stick to US 219 to build confidence.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Pages/default.aspxWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Colver?
You'll find solid infrastructure for your motorhome rental Colver area trip. Prince Gallitzin State Park offers 30/50-amp electric hookups, potable water spigots, modern flush restrooms and hot showers (May to mid-October), a dump station, and even a few newer full-hookup sites. Duman Lake County Park has electric and water near the pavilions for self-contained RVs. Private campgrounds like Bonny Brook add sewer hookups, Wi-Fi, and laundry. For filling fresh water and dumping black/gray tanks between stops, the Prince Gallitzin dump station is open to registered campers, and the Pilot Travel Center near Bedford (about 50 miles south) is a reliable on-route option. Bring a 25-foot drinking-safe water hose and a 30-to-50-amp adapter just in case.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/what-to-do/stay-overnight/rv-and-tent-campsitesWhat's included inside a typical RV rental in Colver?
You'll be impressed by how well-equipped these rigs are. A typical campervan rental Colver or Class C motorhome on RVezy comes with a real bed (often a queen plus convertible dinette and bunk), a propane stove and oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, a wet bath with toilet and shower, roof-mounted AC, propane furnace, and seatbelted seating for everyone sleeping inside. Most hosts include kitchenware, bedding, and towels, and many add a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor speakers, and a power awning. Generator and solar are common on Class B and C rigs for off-grid nights. Cell signal around Colver is decent on Verizon and AT&T, so personal hotspots work well, full RV Wi-Fi is rarer but listed clearly when offered.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/what-to-do/stay-overnight/rv-and-tent-campsitesWhat add-ons and pickup options are available for RV rentals in Colver?
You can customize your rent an RV in Colver experience with helpful extras. Common host add-ons include portable generators (often $25 to $50/day), camp chairs and tables, outdoor grills, firewood bundles, propane refills, bedding packages, kayaks or bikes, and even kid kits with games. Pickup is typically at the host's home in or around Colver, Ebensburg, or Nanty Glo, with delivery available for an extra fee straight to Prince Gallitzin or your driveway. Mileage policies vary, filter for unlimited mileage if you're planning a big loop. Pro tip: ask the host to add a sewer hose and leveling blocks (often free), they're game-changers your first night at camp.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/what-to-do/stay-overnight/rv-and-tent-campsitesHow do payment and the security deposit work for my Colver RV rental?
Payment is simple and secure, everything runs through the RVezy platform, never cash to the host. When you book your RV rental in Colver, your card is charged for the rental, service fee, and protection plan up front. A separate refundable security deposit is held before pickup and released back to your card after a clean, on-time return. To avoid any deposit issues, return the RV on time, refill the fuel and propane to where you got it, dump the tanks, and leave the interior tidy, your host's listing spells out exactly what 'clean' means. Pro tip: snap a quick video walkthrough at pickup and dropoff for your records.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Colver for winter or cold-weather camping?
Yes, and a winter Colver, PA RV trip is a genuine adventure. Cambria County winters are cold and snowy (January averages 17 to 33°F with regular snowfall in the Allegheny highlands), so look for RVezy listings that mention heated holding tanks, an enclosed underbelly, and a reliable propane furnace, those features keep your water flowing when temperatures dip below freezing. Most PA state park campgrounds including Prince Gallitzin close water service after mid-October, so plan to fill fresh tanks before arrival and use a 30-amp shore power site at a winterized private park, or boondock with a full propane tank. Pro tip: pair winter camping with snowmobiling on Prince Gallitzin's 20-mile trail network for an unforgettable weekend.
