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.

Site 19 (No Trailers)

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.

Site 13 (No Trailers)

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.

Site 14 (No Trailers)

The site was near a stream which we did not want and the picture was deceiving. There was a large tree stump covered with moss directly in the middle of the campsite. There was not enough space for camping with a family of three and two dogs. When it rained, which it did, the site flooded out. Overall, this site was a bust and I would not recommend this campground to anyone

Site 24 (Tents/Hammocks Only)

Absolutely love this campground. Highly recommend lot 24, further back and secluded. Beautiful view of the water. Linda greeted upon arrival and was so sweet and helpful. Will definitely be back!

Site 5 (No Trailers)

Very responsive team, clean and well-lit showers and toilet facilities, good price, convenient location, though that does mean it’s near a truck route.
