Campgrounds near Treasure Lake, Pennsylvania
Treasure Lake is a private lake community just outside DuBois in Clearfield County, part of the Pennsylvania Wilds region. RV travelers use it as a base for exploring Moshannon State Forest, the Quehanna Wild Area, and Pennsylvania's free-ranging elk herd near Benezette, roughly a 45 minute drive north.
The closest full-service option inside the community is the DuBois / Treasure Lake KOA Holiday, a large family park with more than 130 campsites and over 20 Deluxe Cabins. Simon B Elliott State Park, a small state-run campground surrounded by Moshannon State Forest, sits about 15 miles south near Penfield and offers rustic sites with modern restrooms and a sanitary dump station.
Private campgrounds within a short drive round out the choices: Elk Crossing 555 Campground, Riverview Campsites, and Campers Paradise Campground and Cabins. Together they cover big-rig hookups, tent camping, and cabin rentals for travelers heading to elk country.
Things to do around Treasure Lake
Elk viewing is the headline draw. The Elk Country Visitor Center in Benezette anchors the herd's range, and peak activity aligns with the September and October rut. Sunrise and sunset are the strongest viewing windows.
Inside the Treasure Lake community, KOA guests get access to two 18-hole golf courses, a white sand beach, and a marina renting kayaks, canoes, and paddleboats. Personal boats, watercraft, ATVs, go-carts, and fishing are prohibited within the community.
Nearby public land adds hiking, mountain biking, and backpacking. Simon B Elliott State Park connects to the Quehanna Trail system, a 75-mile network in the Moshannon State Forest that also links to the Susquehannock Trail System, giving campers day hikes and multi-day options from a single trailhead.

The main camping season runs roughly early May through October. The DuBois / Treasure Lake KOA Holiday is open May through October, with Deluxe Cabins closing for the season on November 1. Simon B Elliott State Park's campground is open from early May through October, while its six CCC-era rustic cabins are available for rent.
Summer brings warm, humid days and the busiest bookings, including a large July 4th celebration at the KOA. September and October pull heavy traffic from the elk rut and fall foliage, with peak color typically around mid-October. Reserve well ahead for autumn weekends.
Winters are cold and snowy. Simon B Elliott is used as a starting point for snowmobiling on Moshannon State Forest trails, and most tent and RV loops in the area are closed. State park cabin rentals are the practical overnight option between late fall and early spring.
How to book campgrounds near Treasure Lake
Simon B Elliott State Park sites are booked through the Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system operated by ReserveAmerica, or by calling 888-PA-PARKS. Reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance and must be made at least three days before arrival.
The DuBois / Treasure Lake KOA Holiday is booked directly through KOA.com or the KOA reservation line, and check-in requires a stop at the community security building for a welcome packet.
Elk Crossing 555 Campground, Riverview Campsites, and Campers Paradise Campground and Cabins are private parks. Book directly with each operator and confirm rig-length limits, hookup type, and any seasonal closures at the time of reservation, since these smaller parks are not listed on the state reservation portal.
What to expect on-site
Expect a rural, forested setting with limited cell coverage. Guest reviews of the DuBois / Treasure Lake KOA Holiday note no Verizon service on the property, and Simon B Elliott sits within Moshannon State Forest where reception is unpredictable. Download maps before arrival.
Hookup levels vary. The KOA offers pull-through and back-in RV sites with water and electric, a dump station, KOA Patio sites, and Deluxe Cabins with full baths. Simon B Elliott provides 25 rustic non-electric sites with pads ranging from about 18 to 47 feet, modern restrooms without showers, and a sanitary dump station.
Pack for wildlife and weather. Black bears live in the surrounding forests, and Pennsylvania restricts moving firewood to slow forest pests. Buy firewood locally and burn it before departure.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Treasure Lake, PA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Treasure Lake, PA?
RV rental in Treasure Lake is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Pennsylvania Wilds, with motorhomes typically averaging around $200 per night and travel trailers closer to $125 per night on RVezy. Pricing varies by RV type, age, and season, with summer weekends (June through August) commanding the highest rates and shoulder seasons like late September offering noticeable savings. Many hosts in the DuBois area offer discounts for weekly or monthly bookings, which is perfect if you want to settle in at the DuBois/Treasure Lake KOA for a long stay. Pro tip: book midweek in early June or mid-September for cheap RV rental Treasure Lake deals plus cooler hiking weather in the surrounding Allegheny foothills.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Treasure%20Lake%2C%20PennsylvaniaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Treasure Lake, PA?
Good news: a regular Pennsylvania driver's license (or any standard U.S. or Canadian license) is all you need to rent an RV in Treasure Lake. Pennsylvania does not require a commercial driver's license (CDL) or special endorsement for personal motorhomes, travel trailers, or campervans, even the larger Class A rigs. On RVezy, approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and ID verification is handled quickly through the platform when you reserve. Visiting from outside North America? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country before your trip and you're set. Most first-time renters are surprised how straightforward the process is, you can go from booking to picking up keys in just a few days.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental in Treasure Lake protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in Treasure Lake booked through RVezy automatically includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the back roads around the Allegheny Mountains with real peace of mind. You choose your protection level (not the host) at checkout, allowing you to pick the option that fits your comfort level and budget, and the plan provides meaningful financial protection if there's a minor scrape on a tight forest road or a windshield ding on I-80. Translation: you book, you pick your protection, and you focus on enjoying your Treasure Lake RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Treasure Lake RV rental?
Booking your motorhome rental Treasure Lake is genuinely low-risk thanks to RVezy's built-in cancellation policy, which is set by RVezy (not individual hosts) and applies across the platform. Refund eligibility depends on how far in advance you cancel, and full details are available on the RVezy Help Center before you confirm. If a host needs to cancel, RVezy works with guests to provide a refund or rebooking credit so your trip stays on track. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best rigs for July 4th weekend at Treasure Lake (the KOA throws a famous celebration), knowing you have a clear policy if plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Treasure Lake RV trip?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental Treasure Lake options are easy to find on RVezy, just use the Pet-Friendly filter to see hosts who welcome your dog (or cat) along for the ride. Many local hosts in the DuBois area are pet owners themselves and are happy to host four-legged guests, sometimes for a small cleaning fee. Once you're in town, you've got great spots to explore together: the DuBois/Treasure Lake KOA has pet-friendly amenities, Parker Dam State Park offers leash-friendly trails through hemlock forests, and Pennsylvania state parks generally allow pets on designated campsites. Pro tip: message your host before booking to confirm any breed or size preferences, and pack a long lead so your pup can lounge outside the RV at camp.
koa.com/campgrounds/dubois/Can the RV be delivered to my campground in Treasure Lake?
Yes, RV delivery Treasure Lake is one of the best ways to start your trip stress-free, and many local hosts offer it. Filter by Delivery on RVezy and you'll see hosts who will bring the RV right to the DuBois/Treasure Lake KOA, Parker Dam State Park, S.B. Elliott State Park, or even a private property in the Treasure Lake gated community. They'll level the rig, hook up water and electric, fire up the propane, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Delivery fees vary by distance, but it's a game-changer if it's your first time renting an RV. Pro tip: pair delivery with a full-hookup site at the KOA so you can skip the learning curve entirely and focus on the lake.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Treasure%20Lake%2C%20PennsylvaniaHow far can I drive on an RV road trip from Treasure Lake?
Treasure Lake sits in a sweet spot for an RV road trip from Treasure Lake to some of Pennsylvania's most scenic destinations. Cook Forest State Park (old-growth hemlocks and the Clarion River) is about 35 miles west, Cherry Springs State Park (one of the darkest night skies on the East Coast) is roughly 75 miles northeast, Pine Creek Gorge (the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon) sits about 95 miles east, and the Allegheny National Forest is just 50 miles north. Niagara Falls is about a 4-hour drive, and Pittsburgh is just 2 hours southwest. Most hosts include a mileage allowance, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, so check the listing or message the host to align mileage with your route.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/Pages/default.aspxWhat are the best campgrounds near Treasure Lake, PA?
You've got fantastic options for RV camping Treasure Lake right at your fingertips. The DuBois/Treasure Lake KOA Holiday is the headliner, with 30/50-amp hookup sites, a pool, and access to the Treasure Lake community's amenities. Parker Dam State Park (about 15 miles north) offers a quiet forested setting with a lake and modern campsites. S.B. Elliott State Park (just up PA-153) is great for rustic, wooded camping. Nearby Moshannon State Forest and Bilger's Rocks area campgrounds round out the local lineup. Pro tip: book the KOA early for any summer weekend, sites fill fast for the 4th of July celebration, and use the Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system up to 11 months in advance for state park sites.
pennsylvaniastateparks.reserveamerica.com/When is the best time to visit Treasure Lake in an RV?
Late May through early October is prime season for an RV rental in Treasure Lake, PA, with July averaging highs near 80°F and lows in the upper 50s, perfect for swimming at the Treasure Lake beach and golfing the community's two courses. June tends to bring the most rainfall but also the lushest greenery in the Pennsylvania Wilds. September and early October deliver spectacular fall foliage across the Allegheny Plateau with daytime highs in the 60s and 70s, ideal for hiking Parker Dam or Cook Forest. Winter is cold (January lows around 18°F with significant snowfall), so most campgrounds close after Halloween. Pro tip: aim for the second week of October for peak leaf color and dramatically lower rates.
weather.gov/ctp/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving around Treasure Lake?
Don't worry, first time renting an RV in the Treasure Lake area is genuinely manageable, even if you've never driven anything bigger than a minivan. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through the dashboard, slide-outs, awning, propane, water, and waste systems before you drive away. The roads around Treasure Lake are forgiving: PA-255 and US-219 are wide two-lane highways, I-80 runs nearby for straightforward interstate travel, and the gated Treasure Lake community has slow residential speeds (perfect for getting comfortable). If something feels off, your host is just a message away and 24/7 roadside assistance is included with your booking. Pro tip: pick a smaller Class C or campervan rental Treasure Lake for your first trip, easier to park and maneuver on forest roads.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I have an issue on the road during my Treasure Lake RV trip?
You're covered. Every RV rental in Treasure Lake booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on US-219, a dead battery at Parker Dam State Park, or a lockout at the KOA is just one phone call away from help. The dispatch team can arrange tire service, jump-starts, fuel delivery, towing, and lockout assistance throughout central Pennsylvania. Your host is also reachable through the RVezy app if you have questions about the RV's specific systems, and RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: save the roadside number in your phone before pickup and snap a quick photo of your RV's VIN, it speeds up any service call.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Treasure Lake RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is welcome on most RVezy bookings, so you can absolutely take your rent an RV in Treasure Lake adventure into New York (Niagara Falls is about 4 hours north), Ohio (Cleveland is roughly 3.5 hours west), or West Virginia for a multi-state loop. Cross-border travel into Canada may be permitted depending on the host and the insurance terms, so message the host directly from the listing before booking to confirm and request any needed paperwork. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental, as insurance coverage does not extend there. Pro tip: a popular 5-day loop from Treasure Lake takes you north through the Allegheny National Forest, across to Niagara Falls, and back via the Finger Lakes wine country.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel economy and budget should I plan for?
Plan smart and your fuel budget stays manageable. Class C motorhomes around Treasure Lake typically get 8 to 12 miles per gallon (MPG), Class A's run 6 to 10 MPG, campervans (Class B) often hit 15 to 20 MPG, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Pennsylvania gas prices tend to track slightly above the national average, with stations clustered along PA-255 in DuBois and at the I-80 interchanges (Sheetz is a local favorite for clean restrooms and good coffee). For a 4-day, 400-mile trip in a Class C, budget roughly $150 to $200 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in DuBois before heading into the Allegheny National Forest, gas stations get sparse on the back roads to Cherry Springs and Kinzua.
gasprices.aaa.com/?state=PAHow far in advance should I book a campsite near Treasure Lake?
Book early and you'll have your pick of the best sites. Pennsylvania state parks like Parker Dam, S.B. Elliott, and Bald Eagle accept reservations up to 11 months in advance through the official Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system, and prime summer weekends often fill 6+ months out. The DuBois/Treasure Lake KOA books up especially fast for the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and Labor Day weekends, so aim to lock in those dates by February or March. For midweek stays in May, June, or September, you can often grab great sites just a few weeks ahead. Pro tip: weekday arrivals (Sunday through Thursday) at state parks typically have a one-night minimum, while weekends often require two nights.
pennsylvaniastateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are driving conditions like around Treasure Lake?
Driving conditions around Treasure Lake are mostly easygoing, which is great news for RV renters. I-80 runs east-west just south of town with wide lanes and gentle grades, US-219 and PA-255 are well-maintained two-lane highways, and the Treasure Lake community itself has slow 25 mph residential roads with several lakes and rolling hills. Watch for deer at dawn and dusk (the Pennsylvania Wilds has a healthy elk and whitetail population), occasional steep grades on back roads heading into the Allegheny National Forest, and winter snow squalls from November through March that can drop visibility fast. Pro tip: download offline maps before leaving town, cell service drops in parts of Moshannon State Forest and along Quehanna Wild Area routes.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Pages/default.aspxWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Treasure Lake?
Local campgrounds make RV camping Treasure Lake genuinely comfortable. The DuBois/Treasure Lake KOA offers full hookups (30 and 50 amp), Wi-Fi near the camp store, propane and firewood for sale, a pool, a dog park, and access to the community's beach and golf courses. Pennsylvania state parks like Parker Dam offer modern campsites with flush toilets, hot showers, and potable water at central spigots, plus a growing number of full-hookup sites with sewer, water, and electric. Most campgrounds have on-site dump stations, and you can also use the dump station at the DuBois KOA. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot drinking water hose and both 30-amp and 50-amp adapters, sites vary and you don't want to be caught short on a Friday night.
koa.com/campgrounds/dubois/What features will my RV rental in Treasure Lake actually have inside?
Most RV rentals around Treasure Lake come surprisingly well equipped for the Pennsylvania climate. Expect comfortable beds for 4 to 8 people (queen or king in the main suite, bunks or convertible dinettes for kids), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, an enclosed bathroom with toilet and shower, roof-mounted air conditioning, propane furnace for those crisp Allegheny mornings, and seatbelted seating for everyone on board. Many listings include a TV, onboard generator, outdoor speakers, and patio awning for relaxing lakeside. Wi-Fi varies, some hosts offer a mobile hotspot as an add-on. Pro tip: filter your search by Sleeps count and check the listing photos carefully, then message the host with any specific questions about heated tanks if you're booking a shoulder-season trip.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/what-to-do/stay-overnight/rv-and-tent-campsitesWhat add-ons and extras can I get with my RV rental?
RV rental Pennsylvania hosts around Treasure Lake offer some great add-ons to make a family RV trip Treasure Lake even easier. Common extras include camp kitchen kits (pots, pans, dishes), bedding and linen packages, outdoor chairs and tables, generators for boondocking, bike racks, kayaks or paddleboards (handy for Treasure Lake itself), and propane refills. Many hosts also offer delivery and setup, dump station service at return, and pet cleaning fees. Mileage policies vary by host, some include 100 miles per night while others offer RV rental with unlimited mileage for a flat fee. Pickup and dropoff times are usually flexible by message. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and linens for your first trip and you'll essentially walk into a vacation home on wheels.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Treasure%20Lake%2C%20PennsylvaniaHow does payment and the security deposit work for my Treasure Lake booking?
Payment is straightforward and secure through RVezy. You'll pay your trip total (rental fees, protection plan, taxes, and any add-ons) with a credit or debit card when you book, and a refundable security deposit is placed as a hold on your card before your trip starts, separate from your booking payment and not actually charged unless there's an issue. Deposit amounts vary by RV and are clearly shown on each listing, so there are no surprises. Once you return the RV in the agreed condition with the same fuel level, the hold is released, typically within a few business days. Pro tip: take dated photos and a quick walk-around video at both pickup and dropoff (inside, outside, mileage, fuel gauge), it makes the deposit release smooth and protects everyone involved.
