Camping near Plymptonville, Pennsylvania
Plymptonville is a small community in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, set in the wooded plateau country of the state's north-central region. The area sits just off Interstate 80 and provides a practical base for RV travelers exploring the Pennsylvania Wilds, the Moshannon State Forest, and the West Branch Susquehanna River corridor.
The closest developed public campground is Simon B. Elliott State Park, a 318-acre wooded park in the heart of Moshannon State Forest with picturesque swamp meadows and second-growth mixed hardwood and oak timber. The park is in Clearfield County off PA 153 just north of Exit 111 of I-80, nine miles north of the community of Clearfield, which places it a short drive from Plymptonville.
Beyond the state park, private options in the region include Woodland Campground, Lauder Family Campground, Elk Crossing 555 Campground, and Riverview Campsites. These give RV travelers a mix of full-hookup private sites and rustic public sites within roughly a half-hour drive of town.
Things to do around Plymptonville
Simon B. Elliott State Park offers several miles of trails through mixed hardwood forest, and it serves as an access point to the Quehanna Trail System, a 75-mile loop through the Moshannon and Elk state forests. That makes the park a useful trailhead for day hikes and multi-day backpacking from an RV base.
The surrounding Moshannon State Forest opens up gravel roads for driving tours, trout streams for fishing, and hunting areas in season. Winter enthusiasts use the park as a starting point for snowmobiling, and the wider region is known for its elk viewing north toward Benezette.
Families staying at Woodland Campground, Lauder Family Campground, Elk Crossing 555 Campground, or Riverview Campsites often combine on-site amenities with day trips to nearby Parker Dam State Park and the S.B. Elliott trail network.

The campground at Simon B. Elliott operates on a seasonal schedule and is open from early May through October, while the six rustic CCC-era cabins in the park are available for rent year round. Outside the main camping season, private campgrounds in the area vary in their opening dates, and most trim services significantly after October.
Spring is cool and wet, with mud common on unpaved sites and trails. Summer brings warm days that draw the largest crowds, especially around holiday weekends, and biting insects can be persistent in the swampy sections of Moshannon State Forest. Fall is popular for foliage, with peak color usually in the first half of October across the Allegheny Plateau.
Winter is quiet and cold. Most developed campgrounds close, but the state park remains open for day use, and snowmobile trails in the surrounding state forest become the main draw. Winter RV travel requires four-season rigs and awareness of unplowed forest roads.
How to book campsites near Plymptonville
Pennsylvania state park sites, including those at Simon B. Elliott, are booked through the Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests Reservations portal or by calling 888-PA-PARKS (888-727-2757), Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Reservations must be made at least 3 days ahead of arrival and can be made up to 11 months in advance, with the booking window opening at noon Eastern Time, so peak summer weekends should be locked in early.
Private campgrounds such as Woodland Campground, Lauder Family Campground, Elk Crossing 555 Campground, and Riverview Campsites are booked directly with each operator by phone or website, and holiday weekends often require a two- or three-night minimum.
What to expect on the ground
The 25-site camping area at Simon B. Elliott sits across from the log cabin Pennsylvania Center and offers modern restrooms without showers, plus a sanitary dump station. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, and sites vary in size, with some short pads that suit smaller RVs and travel trailers better than large motorhomes. Pets are permitted on all sites, and the maximum stay is 14 days during the summer season.
Most sites have gravel pads that provide dry areas for setup, particularly useful during wet conditions, though ground conditions can be swampy in places. Bring leveling blocks and expect a rustic experience rather than a resort feel. The spotted lanternfly is an invasive pest in Pennsylvania, so check vehicles and gear before leaving the park, and buy firewood locally rather than transporting it in.
