Originally opened as a family campground owned and operated by Denis and Kay Snyder in 1964. Bald Eagle Campsite has been owned and operated by the Snyder family to this day! Come join us in the beautiful forested landscape of Central Pennsylvania. Located a mere 20 miles south of Penn State University, we are surrounded by the many amenities Central PA has to offer. We are welcoming to LGBTQ+ campers as well as all ethnicities. Pitch a tent on a quiet site and drop a line into one of our two trout streams crossing the campground. Hang a hammock between two towering poplar trees surrounded by flowering rhododendron. Or pull up in your camper and relax before and after a Penn State Football game under the blue and white sky. We have small, secluded sites to get away from it all, as well as conjoined sites to accommodate larger groups. On property we have bathrooms, hot showers, and a recreation hall with free ping pong, board games, and billiards. For a fee, we also have firewood, electricity, and a large event tent for rent. Campers must be less than 25 feet. Generators are not allowed. Music should not reach outside your own site after 9pm. There are no water hookups. Vehicle noise is audible from route 350, especially on Friday afternoons. Noise is diminished at sites further back from route 350. Our sites are wheelchair accessible, but the bathrooms and showers do have one step up into them. Walk to Snappy's 24-hour convenience store to use their free Wi-Fi, buy bags of ice, or to pickup snacks and a sub in the attached Snappy's Grille. An ice cream stand and restaurant are within walking distance. We require a minimum two nights stay for the recognized holiday weekends for Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day.

Site 12 (Tent/Small Trailer)
Very cool non-traditional layout of the campground. Private yet communal. The campground location is either a plus or a minus depending on your perspective. It is about 70 yards from a convenience store and closer still to a busy road frequented by semi trucks. It gives either a sense of closeness and security to some or a lack of remoteness and "out there" to others.

Site 12 (Tent/Small Trailer)
First time camping was unforgettable thanks to Bald Eagle! The campground still had fall colors at the beginning of November and David provided us with everything we needed prior to our visit. He was also lenient as we ended up having to leave an hour later due to a late start. It was very important for us to have flush toilets; they were so clean and the water was warm, which I wasn't expecting from a camp site. Better than some of the public toilets I've been to. They're at the entrance area, so it was a walk at night, but there are markings so you don't get lost. The site we chose was able to fit 2 tents and had clearing for our cars. All in all, a great first camping experience. Thank you, Bald Eagle!

Cozy Experience
This is the second trip I've made with friends to this campsite, and I'm glad we did. The campsite was well kept and the owner was very kind. I would like to come back in the future.

Site 17 (No Trailers)
It was a primitive and simple site. It was fantastic. It was surrounded by Rhododendrons and it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. The owner was nice and helpful and the facilities were good for such a small little campground. I will be back if I'm ever in the area again.

Site 30 - Bald Eagle Campsite
Overall beautiful campground. Site 30 is right by the entrance so you get all of the in and out traffic. You can also see the lights from the gas station and can hear a lot of noise from the road which is a major intersection. I would recommend staying further in the campground.
