Our first visit to Crooked Run Campground in Prince Gallitzin State Park- Sept 2023, Cherry Loop non-electric site 381. This is a huge campground! The beginning of the camping loops are more congested, RV and TT sites, then when you get to the Cherry loop you get more trees, and wooded-type areas which are great tent sites. 381 was a big, flat site with plenty of room for a big tent, hammocks and room around the fire pit. On the week nite it was very quiet, only the camp host and one other tenter on our half of the loop. About a 100 step walk on a path to the bath house which has very nice sinks, decent push button showers (long spray with each push), hot water, and nice dish washing sinks outside. There is a 2 mile trail around the whole campground which has 9 super easy geocaches to collect. There is a beach to swim in the lake, and we rented kayaks ($20/hr for singles). Overall we really enjoyed this campground and park, it was well worth the 3 1/2 hr drive and I expect we will return...
Read moreCrooked Run campground is our go-to camping spot. It's always clean, has everything we need for a weekend getaway, or, as we did this past summer, a full two-week stay. They have tons of activities for kids and adults of every age and offer walking trails, a bike course, swimming at the campground beach, boat, kayak, and paddleboard rentals, fishing, and tons of educational group activities. They offer pet friendly campsites and walking areas, full hookup sites for the glampers, or non electric sites for those that want to "rough it" a little more. All campground loops have full bath houses with hot and cold running water for showers and outdoor dishwashing stations. And the camp store has everything you could possibly need or want, including full cooked dinners and tons of ice cream and desert choices. I've been camping at Crooked Run campground for 50 years, and I hope to camp there...
