Campgrounds near Lightstreet, Pennsylvania
Lightstreet is a small census-designated place in Columbia County, in Pennsylvania's North Branch Susquehanna River valley just northeast of Bloomsburg. The area sits between rolling farmland and the wooded ridges of the Endless Mountains, putting RV travelers within an easy drive of both private family campgrounds and one of the state's larger state-park camping areas.
Close-in private options include Deihls Camping Resort, Indian Head Campground, Springbrook Family Campground, and J and D Campgrounds, all clustered in the Bloomsburg and Catawissa area. Knoebels Lake Glory Campground sits a short drive south near Catawissa and runs a free shuttle to Knoebels Amusement Resort, making it a common pick for families. For state-park camping with cabins, cottages, and trail access, Ricketts Glen State Park lies roughly a half-hour north and anchors the region's public lands.
Most private parks here offer full or partial hookups and target RV families, while Ricketts Glen provides a more rustic, wooded setting on Lake Jean.
Things to do near Lightstreet
The biggest draw is Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, the country's largest free-admission amusement park, with rides, a water park, mini-golf, and arcades. Guests at Knoebels Lake Glory Campground get free shuttle service to the park.
Ricketts Glen State Park, about 30 minutes north, is a National Natural Landmark known for the Falls Trail System and 22 named waterfalls, including the 94-foot Ganoga Falls. Lake Jean offers swimming, paddling, and fishing in summer. The Susquehanna River and Fishing Creek provide flatwater paddling and trout water close to town. Downtown Bloomsburg adds restaurants, the Bloomsburg Fair each fall, and a walkable college-town core, while local farms and orchards run seasonal pick-your-own and corn-maze events.

The camping season in this part of Pennsylvania runs roughly April through October, with shoulder months adding cool nights and quieter campgrounds. Most private parks near Lightstreet open in mid-spring and close after the fall foliage rush in late October.
Summer is peak season. Knoebels operates its full ride schedule from late spring through Labor Day, then shifts to weekends in September, which drives heavy demand at Lake Glory Campground and at the surrounding private parks. The Bloomsburg Fair, held in September, is the largest fair in the state and books out local sites well in advance.
At Ricketts Glen State Park, the campground is open roughly April through November, while modern cabins and cottages are available across a longer season, with cabins offered year-round. The Falls Trail closes every winter due to ice, and only registered ice climbers and properly equipped hikers are allowed on it during that closure. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are available on other park trails.

The Camper was clean and stocked with everything you could need. My family and I were really impressed, and had an overall great experience. The host was also very helpful and responsive. I would definitely rent from him again.

Everything was perfect! Plenty of room us, two kids (13 & 11) and our dog. The RV had everything we needed and the full-size fridge and pantry were great for extra storage space. Owners were great with excellent communication. Highly recommend!!

How to book
Private campgrounds in the Lightstreet area, including Deihls Camping Resort, Indian Head Campground, Springbrook Family Campground, and J and D Campgrounds, typically take reservations directly by phone or through their own websites. Knoebels Lake Glory Campground books through the Knoebels resort site and applies a two-night minimum for advance reservations; specific site numbers are not guaranteed.
Ricketts Glen State Park uses the Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system on ReserveAmerica, also reachable at 888-PA-PARKS. Sites, cabins, and cottages can be booked up to 11 months in advance and must be reserved at least three days ahead of arrival. Lakeside sites, cabins, and holiday weekends fill earliest, so booking close to the 11-month window is recommended for summer and fall trips.
What to expect
Expect a mix of wooded private family campgrounds and one large state-park campground within about a 30-minute radius. Private parks in the Bloomsburg and Catawissa area generally offer water and electric or full hookups, dump stations, pools, playgrounds, and camp stores, and they cater heavily to families with kids.
Knoebels Lake Glory Campground offers tent sites, RV sites with water and electric or full hookups, and cabins, plus a five-acre lake, playground, game room, and shuttle to the amusement park. Ricketts Glen is more rustic: 120 tent and trailer sites in two loops, modern rental cabins, and deluxe cottages on Lake Jean. Alcohol is prohibited in Pennsylvania state parks, and cell service is unreliable inside Ricketts Glen, so plan navigation and communications before arrival.
