The best camping in Ole Bull State Park, PA

“Olé, Olé, Olé!” And you’ll be chanting similar spirited lyrics while you’re snowmobiling down Ole Bull State Park’s frozen precipitation during the colder months. Occupying one-hundred-and-thirty acres of Pennsylvania's Black Forest (called so because of the dense vegetation), this modest sized park serves-up surprisingly large portions of outdoor activities; fishing in the well-stocked Kettle Creek is known to be some of the best in the colonial state. In fact, both Ole Bull Creek and Kettle Creek have become synonymous with mantle piece-worthy catches. And, with the park’s two well-manicured, modern campgrounds hugging Kettle Creek, you’ll be able to enjoy all the hydrophilic bliss Ole Bull State Park’s has to offer.

The ideal time to visit Ole Bull State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the park's flora is in full bloom and the wildlife is most active. Winter offers a quiet, snowy retreat, but some facilities may be limited, so always check ahead.
