Pear Cove is a great place to stay. We have stayed several times to watch our daughter’s final season playing soccer for a local college. We have always had a great time with no issues. The pad is as nice as you will find with newly poured concrete and equally new full hookups. The pad is the perfect size for our 30ft class A. It is a quiet location in the country but only 10 minutes to Lock Haven University and any amenities you may need. The hosts are also awesome people that make sure all is as it should be. We highly recommend this location.

Terrific little campground. Linda was there to meet us and explained the lay of the land. Site was large and clean. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. Yes, you can hear the noise from the highway. But we knew that beforehand. We had an event in Tyrone and this was a great and affordable stay for us.

We love staying at Pear Tree as its so close to our favorite bike trail, Pine Creek Trail. Has a lot of experiences nearby such as Elk Country and fall leaf viewing. Its provides he best thought out and improved pad for our trailer and has a little fegetable garden that you can pick from. Great for Starlink and the hosts are great.

We stayed at Site 30- despite many reviews complaining about road noise, it truly wasn’t noticeable, and quieted down considerably in the early evening. Bathrooms were clean and in good condition, wood and dumpster were easy to access. We’ll be back!

This was a fantastic place for us to break up our trip to the northeast. It is worth the drive 100%, the views are fantastic and it is very private. Yvonne was easy to communicate with and super responsive. We are already looking at the calendar for the next trip out.

20 ft pop-up camper
This was a great site. Would definitely recommend it and go out of our way to come here again. The directions were easy to follow, it was fun to paddle around in the lake and we caught a fish. The dogs loved it as well.

18 ft campervan
Great little site. The campsite is very rustic. No frills. Just a place to set up camp. The Rhododendrons were really amazing. We can in after dark. Had some challenges getting to the site. (Bare right just after the shower facilities). This is a pets allowed sight which meant dogs barking all night, which was the only negative. We’d definitely sat here again.

We came back for another stay at Riverside RV Camper Site, and it was just as peaceful and relaxing as we remembered. We enjoyed daily walks along the rarely traveled road that winds along the river. Evenings were spent relaxing by the fire watching the trains off in the distance.
It’s a great location for exploring nearby towns like Belleville, Reedsville, and Lewistown, all offering great little shops, restaurants, and local attractions.
The campground itself remains clean, quiet, and well-kept. If you’re looking for a relaxing place to stay with easy access to small-town charm and scenic views, Riverside RV is a wonderful choice.

It is a very lovely and picturesque camping spot. I would definitely go there again. You are surrounded by farm country in front and the mountain behind you. Gorgeous!!! I will say that you should be prepared for the Spotted Lantern Flies. That is not Yvonne’s fault, it’s just the current insect nuisance. They don’t bother humans though.
I camped alone but I felt completely safe there. So peaceful. Just what I needed. Thank you Yvonne!!!

This spot was great. So convenient to have access to the showers and bathroom. And so peaceful by the stream. Only downside is the closeness of the road but the access to the road and convenience store makes it worth it. Linda was so helpful when she first greeted me at the site as well!

Site number 12 is right next to a lovely pond. It’s so beautiful and peaceful and the electric is close to a perfect place to put the tent.
Just a short walk to the very clean bathrooms, and a short walk to the convenience store with 24 hour hot food available.

We had a great time at site 30! The sites are closer together than what the map shows but they are still pretty private if you find the right ones. You will hear a lot of road noise at site 30 but if you don’t mind that, it’s perfect for an electric site and it’s close to the showers/bathrooms. The owners were so sweet and took us to our site and told us everything we needed to know! The showers and bathrooms were pretty nice but they have mold growing and could use a good scrub. They were nice and hot though! Beautiful grounds! Walking distance to dollar general and a nice gas station/grill. We would love to go back and find a site further into the woods. Thank you!
