## Overview

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 24 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.

She let us know that this was the last week of their season and that the weather was supposed to be beautiful for our trip, but very cold at night.

> This is probably a great campground during summer months but in Mid-October it was kind of sketchy. Not sure hosts were on-site. The creek and pond were nice and the bathrooms were clean.
