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.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Bald Eagle campsite offers a picturesque setting with a stream running through and is surrounded by thick rhododendron, which provides privacy and a serene atmosphere. Guests appreciate the clean facilities, including bathrooms and showers, and the friendly hosts who make visitors feel welcome. However, some campers have noted the persistent road noise from a nearby highway, which can be a disturbance for light sleepers. Despite this, many find the natural beauty and peacefulness of the site to be a worthwhile experience.

Tent camped at Site 13 (No Trailers) with friends, Oct 2026.

We arrived at about 2:45 in the afternoon Linda was there waiting for us. It was a beautiful 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. We signed up for site 13, which was lovely right by the stream.. the traffic noises were very loud from the highway and did not stop all night. but that did not deter us from having a great time. This was my wife’s first ever camping and it was extremely cold at night. there is a wonderful little Mennonite grocery store in town. Where we bought food for dinner and breakfast and cooked at our camp. we will definitely come back when it is a bit warmer.
