Best in Pennsylvania: 1st place

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

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.

Didn’t go

I didn’t get to go to the site. Got sick and had to cancel.

Lovely campground but noisy

Bald Eagle is a cozy little campground that is well-maintained and my site #13 was just as lovely as the photos. I read the descriptions carefully because I didn't want to be so exposed like some other sites and wanted to be next to the creek since I had a lot to unwind from. What I didn't realize was how loud the trucks would be all day long. My earplugs helped at night but during the day I had sometimes difficulty listening to podcasts or watching a video due to the noise. I really enjoyed the area so this place would be ideal for those who have activities planned during the day.

Perfect Camping!

We loved our stay! We met Janet who was just the nicest host. She checked on us and chatted for awhile. The entire place is very cool and every site a bit different. We loved short walk to get a good coffee at Gas Station near by as well as to bathrooms/showers. You'll find a lot of shade and super cute creek right by the entire place. We definitely consider going back to perhaps stay a bit longer.

Campground was very pretty. The pond, the creek, the animals. The host was great, and super helpful. The only issue was the noise from the highway. Even at the furthest campsite the noise from the highway was pretty loud. All in all it is still a 8 out of 10, and we had a great time there.

I met with Linda upon arrival, she was super nice and friendly showed me to my site and told me about everything around the area and campsites. We had a great stay! It was perfect and peaceful! Definitely going to camp here again in the near future! We had a site by the water and it was private and so relaxing.

We love it here! This was our 4th stay, and definitely won't be our last. :) The facilities are always clean and well stocked. The hosts are nice and friendly. The firewood bundles are a good value. The sounds from the stream are so peaceful, you almost forget you're right next to a highway. It was the perfect overnight get away for us.
