Campgrounds near Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania
Lawrenceville sits on the New York border in Tioga County, at the northern edge of the Pennsylvania Wilds. It works as a practical base for RV travelers heading to Pine Creek Gorge, the Finger Lakes, and the surrounding state forest land. Most campgrounds within a short drive fall into two categories: family-oriented private parks with full hookups, and state park campgrounds with electric and full-hookup sites in wooded settings.
Close-in options include Sunflower Acres Family Campground and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: PA Wilds, both geared toward families with amenities and organized activities. Camp Bell Campground and Ferenbaugh Camping and Recreation Area cover the private side across the New York line near Corning and Painted Post.
For a state park experience, Hills Creek State Park sits south of Lawrenceville between Wellsboro and Mansfield, with 85 sites and a 137-acre lake as the focal point. Hookup availability, road access, and rig-length limits vary widely between these properties, so confirm site specifics before booking.
Things to do near Lawrenceville
The main regional draw is Pine Creek Gorge, often called the PA Grand Canyon, roughly 45 minutes south. Leonard Harrison State Park on the east rim and Colton Point State Park on the west rim provide the main overlooks, hiking trails, and picnic areas. The Pine Creek Rail Trail runs along the canyon floor with a gentle grade suited to family cycling.
Hills Creek State Park adds lake swimming at a guarded beach, warmwater fishing, paddling with electric motors only, and short forested trails including a loop around the lake. Wellsboro, with its gas-lit main street, serves as the closest resupply town for groceries, outfitters, and restaurants.
Corning, New York is about 25 minutes north and offers the Corning Museum of Glass and the Rockwell Museum, both good rainy-day options for families traveling with kids.

The camping season at Hills Creek State Park runs mid-April to mid-October, and most private campgrounds around Lawrenceville follow a similar window, though a few offer limited shoulder-season stays. Modern cabins at Hills Creek are available year-round, with weekly reservations required during summer.
Summer is peak season. July and August bring the warmest weather, the busiest lake use, and the highest demand for hookup sites. Weekends fill quickly at family resorts, and holiday weekends should be booked months ahead. Late spring is quieter but can be wet, with frequent rain through April and May.
Fall is a strong shoulder season. Foliage typically peaks in early to mid-October along Pine Creek Gorge, and the canyon views open up as leaves drop. Winter closes nearly all campgrounds in the region, and the Allegheny Plateau is the coldest part of Pennsylvania, with regular snow cover through the season.
Top Hosts near Lawrenceville, PA
MAKAYLA12 trips - Joined Feb 2026 - Superhost
We had an awesome experience renting Mikayla’s camper and would absolutely rent it again! From the first moment we spoke, to picking it up and dropping it off, everything was simple and stress-free. Hitching and unhitching were easy, and Mikayla had everything we needed for full hookups—sewer line, water hoses, water filter, and even a drill for the leveling jacks. What really impressed us was how well stocked the camper was. Plates, silverware, cooking supplies, sugar, cooking spray, beds with full linens, and towels—you could tell a lot of thought went into making sure guests had everything they needed. There was plenty of room for our family of four, and we had a fantastic camping trip. If you’re considering renting this camper, I highly recommend it!

How to book campgrounds near Lawrenceville
Hills Creek State Park uses the Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests reservation system, run through ReserveAmerica. Sites can be booked up to 11 months in advance, with reservations released at noon Eastern Time, and most reservations must be made at least three days ahead of arrival. Phone reservations are available at 888-PA-PARKS, Monday through Saturday. Modern cabins require weekly stays during summer.
Private campgrounds such as Sunflower Acres Family Campground, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: PA Wilds, Camp Bell Campground, and Ferenbaugh Camping and Recreation Area each handle their own bookings through their websites or by phone. For summer weekends and any stay tied to July 4th or Labor Day, reserve as early as possible, since full-hookup sites at family resorts are the first to sell out.
What to expect
Terrain is rolling and heavily wooded, part of the Allegheny Plateau. Expect narrow, winding approach roads to some campgrounds and limited turnaround room for larger rigs. Cell service is unpredictable across the region, and Pennsylvania DCNR advises downloading park maps before arrival.
Campers are urged to use local firewood rather than bring wood from home to avoid spreading non-native pests such as spotted lanternfly and emerald ash borer. Buy firewood locally or from the campground. Black bears are present, so store food and coolers securely, particularly at Hills Creek and other wooded sites.
Pet policies vary by loop and cabin, with up to two leashed pets permitted on designated sites at Pennsylvania state parks. Confirm pet-friendly sites when booking if traveling with a dog.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Lawrenceville, PA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Lawrenceville, PA?
RV rental in Lawrenceville, PA is one of the more affordable ways to explore the Pennsylvania Wilds. On RVezy, travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 per night, campervans run about $150 to $250, and larger Class C motorhomes range from $200 to $375 nightly. Weekly bookings often unlock host discounts, and shoulder seasons (late April to mid-June and September to October) bring the best rates while Pine Creek Gorge looks its best. Looking for a cheap RV rental in Lawrenceville the whole family can enjoy? Filter by price, sort by distance, and message hosts about multi-night savings. Pro tip: booking midweek can save you 15 to 25 percent versus a weekend pickup.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Lawrenceville%2C%20PennsylvaniaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Lawrenceville, PA?
You're in great shape: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Lawrenceville, PA. Pennsylvania does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special RV endorsement for any motorhome you'll find on RVezy, whether it's a nimble Class B campervan or a 32-foot Class C. You do need to be at least 25 years old, and RVezy will verify your ID through the platform during booking, so there's no extra paperwork at pickup. Visiting from outside the United States? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit. Then it's just a quick host walkthrough and you're rolling toward the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.
pa.gov/agencies/penndot/driver-vehicle-services.htmlIs RV rental in Lawrenceville, PA protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RVezy booking in Lawrenceville comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance included, so you can hit Route 49 with real peace of mind. The protection plan covers most accidental damage to the vehicle, and you choose your coverage level at checkout to match your comfort and budget. Roadside assistance covers common issues like flat tires, lockouts, and towing, which is reassuring on backcountry roads near Cowanesque Lake. Pro tip: review your selected protection plan and the roadside assistance details before pickup so you know exactly who to call if something comes up during your Tioga County trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Lawrenceville RV rental?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy sets the cancellation policy at the platform level, not individual hosts. Refund eligibility depends on how far in advance you cancel and the specific policy applied to your booking, which you can review in the RVezy Help Center before you confirm. Pro tip: book early to secure peak fall foliage dates in Tioga County, and if your plans change, RVezy customer support can walk you through your options and any host-cancellation refund or credit if the situation is reversed.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsAre pet-friendly RV rentals available in Lawrenceville, PA?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental Lawrenceville options are easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter to see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats). Tioga County is a dream for four-legged travelers: the Pine Creek Rail Trail allows leashed dogs along its 62-mile route, Cowanesque Lake's Tompkins Recreation Area welcomes pets at most campsites, and Hills Creek State Park has dog-friendly day-use areas. Message the host before booking to confirm pet fees (typically $25 to $75) and any size or breed notes. Pro tip: bring a long tie-out leash for campsite hangs, since Pennsylvania state parks and Army Corps campgrounds require pets to be leashed at all times.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/find-a-park/hills-creek-state-park.htmlCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near Lawrenceville?
Yes, RV delivery Lawrenceville is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers. Many local hosts will tow or drive the rig directly to your campsite at Ives Run Recreation Area on Tioga Lake, Tompkins Campground on Cowanesque Lake, or a rental cabin near Wellsboro, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. That means you skip the stress of towing or maneuvering a motorhome on US-15 or PA-49. Use the Delivery filter to see hosts who offer it, and confirm the delivery fee (usually based on distance) in your booking request. Pro tip: delivery turns a travel trailer into a stationary basecamp, freeing you to use a regular car for exploring the PA Grand Canyon.
nab.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/Tioga-Hammond-Lakes/How far can I drive on a typical Lawrenceville RV rental?
You'll have plenty of range to explore: many Lawrenceville hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and some even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is ideal for a wider PA Wilds road trip. Additional miles typically run $0.30 to $0.45 each. To put it in perspective from Lawrenceville: Wellsboro and the PA Grand Canyon are about 25 miles south, Watkins Glen State Park is 35 miles north in New York, Corning Museum of Glass is 30 miles northeast, and Niagara Falls is roughly a 4-hour drive. Pro tip: if you're planning a longer loop, filter for unlimited mileage listings or ask your host about a custom multi-day mileage package before you book.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/find-a-park/leonard-harrison-state-park.htmlWhere are the best campgrounds near Lawrenceville, PA?
You're surrounded by excellent options for RV camping Lawrenceville visitors love. Tompkins Campground on Cowanesque Lake (just off Route 49) offers electric sites, a swim beach, and boat launch managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Ives Run Recreation Area on Tioga Lake has full hookups, a marina, and is just 10 minutes south. Hills Creek State Park, 25 minutes away near Wellsboro, has lakeside electric sites perfect for kayaking. Crooked Creek Campground near Tioga is a family-run favorite with pull-throughs. Pettecote Junction Campground sits right on Pine Creek in the gorge. Pro tip: Army Corps sites at Tompkins and Ives Run open reservations 6 months ahead on Recreation.gov, and summer holiday weekends sell out fast.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234017When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Lawrenceville?
Lawrenceville sits in PA's northern tier, so the prime RV season runs from late April through late October. Summer (June through August) brings warm days in the mid-70s to mid-80s and cool evenings dropping into the 50s, great for sleeping with the windows open. Fall (mid-September through mid-October) is legendary in Tioga County: Pine Creek Gorge explodes in red, orange, and gold, and crowds thin out. Spring is ideal for trout fishing and rafting Pine Creek during high water. Winters get cold (often into the teens) and bring snow, but cold-weather rigs are available. Pro tip: book your fall foliage Lawrenceville RV trip 4 to 6 months ahead, especially for the first two weekends of October when colors peak.
weather.gov/bgm/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving in this area?
You've got this. First time renting an RV near Lawrenceville is genuinely manageable because the local roads (US-15, US-6, and PA-49) are well-paved, mostly low-traffic, and gentler than mountain passes out West. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through driving the rig, slide-outs, propane, the generator, and dump procedures, with no rush. If you'd rather skip driving altogether, choose a host who offers delivery and setup at your campground. Pro tip: avoid PA-414 through the Pine Creek Gorge in a large Class A (it's narrow and winding); a travel trailer or Class C is a smoother choice. Your host will gladly suggest the easiest routes from their location.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Pages/default.aspxWhat happens if I break down during my Lawrenceville RV trip?
You won't be stranded: 24/7 roadside assistance is included with every RVezy booking that has a protection plan, covering common issues like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. If you get a flat on US-15 heading to Mansfield or a hookup issue at Tompkins Campground, call the roadside line and they'll dispatch help. Your host is also just a message away through the RVezy app and usually knows the closest service shops in Tioga and Wellsboro. Pro tip: snap a photo of the RV's VIN, plate, and propane tank certification date at pickup. It speeds up any roadside call if you ever need help on the road.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I cross into New York or Canada on an RV road trip from Lawrenceville?
Yes, an RV road trip from Lawrenceville into New York is easy and common; the state line is right at the edge of town. Watkins Glen, Corning, the Finger Lakes wine trail, and Letchworth State Park are all within about a 2-hour drive and allowed on RVezy rentals. Cross-border travel into Canada (such as Niagara Falls, ON) depends on the host and your protection coverage, so confirm with the host before booking. Travel into Mexico is not allowed on RVezy. Pro tip: if Canada is part of your plan, bring passports for everyone, share your route with your host, and check border wait times at the Peace Bridge before you go.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel economy and budget should I expect?
Budget-wise, plan for 8 to 12 mpg for a Class C motorhome, 10 to 14 mpg for a campervan, and tow-vehicle dependent for travel trailers (typically 10 to 15 mpg combined). Pennsylvania gas prices generally run a bit higher than the national average due to state fuel taxes, so check stations around Mansfield or Corning, NY (just over the border) where prices often dip. For a 3-night, 200-mile trip from Lawrenceville to the PA Grand Canyon and back in a Class C, budget roughly $80 to $120 in fuel plus campground fees of $35 to $55 per night. Pro tip: filling up in New York just over the state line can save several dollars per fill-up on most weeks.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Lawrenceville?
Reserve as early as possible for the best sites. Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds at Tompkins (Cowanesque Lake) and Ives Run (Tioga Lake) open bookings 6 months ahead on Recreation.gov and waterfront electric sites disappear within minutes for July weekends. Pennsylvania state parks like Hills Creek and Leonard Harrison use the Pennsylvania State Parks ReserveAmerica system, also bookable up to 11 months out. Private parks like Pettecote Junction often have more last-minute flexibility. Pro tip: for peak fall foliage (late September to mid-October) in Tioga County, set a calendar reminder for exactly 6 months before your target date and book the moment reservations open at 7 a.m. Eastern.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2992What are the local driving conditions like around Lawrenceville?
You'll find driving here refreshingly relaxed compared to a big metro. US-15 (the main north-south corridor) is a four-lane divided expressway between Mansfield and Corning, NY, so it's smooth even in a 30-foot Class C. PA-49 to Westfield is two-lane and rural with a few gentle climbs. The roads that need extra care are PA-362 and PA-414 through the Pine Creek Valley, which are narrow with tight curves and limited shoulders. Watch for deer at dawn and dusk year-round and for snow squalls November through March. Pro tip: avoid driving large motorhomes through downtown Wellsboro on Friday and Saturday evenings in summer, when the historic Main Street fills up; park at the edge of town and walk in.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Pages/default.aspxWhat amenities do campgrounds near Lawrenceville offer, and where can I dump or fill water?
You'll find a great range of campground amenities in Tioga County. Ives Run Recreation Area offers full hookups (water, electric, sewer at select sites), a dump station, hot showers, and potable water fills, and Tompkins Campground has electric sites, a dump station, and shower houses. Hills Creek State Park provides electric sites and a dump station. State forest campsites in the Pine Creek Gorge are rustic with pit toilets and no hookups, so plan ahead. If you need a public dump station mid-trip, Ives Run and Tompkins both allow non-camper use for a small fee. Pro tip: top off freshwater before leaving Lawrenceville at Cowanesque Lake's potable fill stand. It's free and convenient before heading deeper into the gorge.
nab.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/Tioga-Hammond-Lakes/What's inside a typical RV rental in Lawrenceville?
Most RVezy rigs in Lawrenceville come fully equipped and ready to camp. Expect a queen or king bed in the main bedroom, convertible dinette or bunks for extra sleepers, a kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge, and sink, a wet or dry bath with toilet and shower, air conditioning, propane furnace, and seatbelted seats for everyone traveling. Many include an outdoor speaker, awning, and onboard generator (useful at Tompkins Campground's non-electric loops). TVs and Wi-Fi vary, so check the listing if streaming matters. Some larger Class C and travel trailer motorhome rental Lawrenceville options sleep 6 to 8 comfortably. Pro tip: confirm whether linens, kitchenware, and a starter propane tank are included; many hosts offer these as free perks or affordable add-ons.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/things-to-do/camping.htmlWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts in Lawrenceville offer plenty of helpful add-ons to customize your trip. Common extras include camp chairs and tables ($10 to $25), bike racks, kayak or bike rentals (great for the Pine Creek Rail Trail), generators, propane refills, linen and kitchen kits ($30 to $75), and dump-and-clean service so you can return the RV without emptying tanks. Pickup is typically at the host's home in or around Lawrenceville, but many offer delivery to Tompkins, Ives Run, or campgrounds in Wellsboro for a per-mile fee. Mileage policies vary; some listings even offer unlimited mileage. Pro tip: bundle add-ons in your booking request: hosts often discount packages, especially if you're booking 4+ nights for a family RV trip Lawrenceville-style.
visitpa.com/region/pennsylvania-wildsHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through the RVezy platform with a credit or debit card when you book, with no cash exchanges with the host. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment (typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV) and released back to your card after the trip wraps up smoothly. The protection plan you select at checkout determines your deductible if any damage happens. To avoid any deposit issues, do a photo walk-through with your host at pickup and return, follow the host's mileage and pet policies, and return the rig with the same fuel and propane levels. Pro tip: keep receipts from dump stations and fuel fills in case any questions come up later.
