Fowlers Hollow State Park — Attraction in Toboyne Township

This is a little hidden gem that I had mixed feelings about leaving a review - the more people that discover Fowler's Hollow, the harder it will be to reserve a site. There are only 11 sites for campers, one of which is for the Camp Host, and they all have nice large shady areas with a little stream running behind the sites. Being such a small, intimate camp ground, everyone was extremely friendly. There are no shower facilities, but the bathrooms are nice and clean. There are plenty of trails right around the campground to explore. Some are a little overgrown due to not having a lot of campers using them, but there are also trails that are used for horseback riding. Upon entering the state park there is a large parking area for horse trailers. While we were camping we saw several occasions where groups were coming for horseback riding. The campground is well away from any highways our big cities, so there was absolutely no highway noises and no light pollution at night to view the stars. We camped over Labor Day weekend and had plenty of hummingbirds visiting as soon as we put up a feeder. We even had an owl greet us on our first day. Not too far from the campground are trails going through a hemlocks natural area - the trail goes along a stream with lots of mossy rocks, so trekking poles are suggested. There is a beautiful overlook of Fowler's Hollow on the way up to the hemlocks natural area. After our bad experience in Findley State Park in Ohio where an untethered pit bull attacked and nearly killed our little dog, it was such a relief to be back at a campground where we feel safe again. We will definitely be back - we're guessing that it would be extremely beautiful in the fall. If you are a tent camper without the need for an electric hookup, they also have a handful of walk in camp sites that...

We camped here and absolutely loved it. This is the first time I've camped in years that everyone in the campground were there to enjoy nature. I saw no children on electronics or running around being bad, un heard of, i know. We set up a tent in an electric spot right underneath trees. Spots are along the creek. There are no showers which to me was a fine trade off to avoid the awful crowds that come on Memorial day weekend. Most of the tent spots are walk up, which honestly didn't look bad. The hiking in the campground is very nice and provides for easy walking. In Tuscarora, which surrounds Fowlers Hollow, the hikes are much more challenging, and should be done by experienced hikers only. I was told that there was good fishing in the creek, but try as we might, we didn't see any spot that would be deep or wide enough for fly or cast. If you want a quiet, truly relaxing and rustic camping trip, this is the place to go! There are also spots along the way into the park to set up a quiet picinic. Really...

Beautiful small campsite hidden in PA's iconic amish country. RV's get the better sites here as most were actually creekside, walk in tent sites not so much. The stargazing is an added bonus here as most of this campground is a meadow. The hiking is well marked however a bit under maintained. I'm looking to you future eagle scout project! The bathrooms were clean but lacked showers. Drinking water is murk, I believe it is from a private well and suffers aestheticly from high tannin's. Which means it doesn't look right but tasted better than most city water supplies. Firewood is abunant, there are tons of down trees if you walk across the meadow into the tree line. I got 3g cell service here, calls weren't super, but gps was fine. This state park is a WPA built park showcasing a century old forest that butts up to 2k acres of state forest. You want...
