Campgrounds near Penn Farms overview
Penn Farms sits in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, on the eastern flank of the Allegheny Front. The area gives RV travelers access to mountain terrain, working farmland, and the Raystown Lake corridor within a short drive. Blue Knob State Park lies in the northwestern tip of Bedford County, west of I-99, with Altoona, Johnstown, and Bedford all within 25 miles.
Campground options span state-park, private resort, and small independent formats. Blue Knob State Park sits at Pennsylvania's second-highest peak in the Allegheny Mountains and features a campground with electric and non-electric sites operating from the second Friday in April through mid-October. Wrights Orchard Station Campground and Weimers RV 764 Campground / Scott$ Arcade offer smaller, closer-in stays, while James Creek RV Resort and Heritage Cove Resort put travelers near Raystown Lake for boating and fishing.
Expect a mix of full-hookup resort sites and rustic state-park loops. Elevation matters here: ridge-top campgrounds run cooler than valley sites, which affects packing lists and shoulder-season comfort.
Things to do near Penn Farms
Blue Knob State Park anchors outdoor activity in the immediate area. The campground provides access to nearly 20 miles of hiking trails ranging from easy to advanced, mountain biking routes, horseback riding trails, a swimming pool open Memorial Day through Labor Day, and connections to the 26-mile Lost Turkey Trail for backcountry exploration. Bob's Creek is stocked with trout by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
Raystown Lake, reachable via James Creek RV Resort and Heritage Cove Resort, adds boating, kayaking, and lake fishing. The adjacent Blue Knob All Seasons Resort offers downhill skiing, mountain biking, and golf.
Families can round out a trip with day drives to Altoona for the Horseshoe Curve and railroad history, or to Bedford's historic district.

The camping calendar in this part of Pennsylvania is shaped by elevation. Blue Knob State Park's 50 tent and trailer sites open the second Friday in April and close in mid-October, with reservations available through the Pennsylvania State Parks system. Private resorts near Raystown Lake typically run a longer season but pull back services in shoulder months.
Summer is peak. Weekend sites at Raystown-area resorts and Blue Knob book out well ahead, particularly for holiday weekends. Spring brings mud on trails and cool nights on the ridge, while fall delivers strong foliage color from late September into mid-October.
Winter is a real factor at elevation. Annual snowfall at Blue Knob averages about 12 feet, and the park's elevation can cause air temperatures to run several degrees cooler than surrounding cities. RV travelers planning late-season trips should confirm road access, water availability, and whether dump stations remain open, since most non-winterized campgrounds close by late October.

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.

Shawn and Melinda made it easy to hold a memorable Penn State tailgate, even for someone like me who is new to RV rental. The Beaver Stadium RV lot didn’t have RV hookups so they made sure we had water and extra gas for the generator. They thought if every detail. The RV was super clean and well-stocked. They had excellent communication and were so friendly and helpful. I would 100% rent from them again.
Ginger K. - Nov 2024
This was my first time renting an RV and it was the smoothest process! The hosts were in contact with me before delivery so I knew exactly when they would arrive. They were so friendly and set up the entire camper and gave me a tour. We had an awesome experience, thank you!

How to book RV sites near Penn Farms
State-park sites at Blue Knob go through the Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system. Tent and trailer sites can be reserved for today and up to 11 months in advance, while modern cabins require reservations at least 3 days ahead of arrival and can also be booked up to 11 months out.
Private campgrounds such as James Creek RV Resort, Heritage Cove Resort, Wrights Orchard Station Campground, and Weimers RV 764 Campground / Scott$ Arcade take bookings directly through their own websites or phone lines. Summer weekends and fall foliage weeks fill first, so lock in dates early.
Some sites may be available only from the campground on a first-come, first-served basis. Have a backup plan and arrive early on Fridays.
