Bald Eagle State Forest Campground

Bald Eagle State Forest offers 45 primitive roadside campsites and hike-in tent sites across 194,602 acres in central Pennsylvania, with no developed facilities but picnic tables and fire rings at each site.

The forest features over 300 miles of trails and numerous fishable streams including the acclaimed Penns Creek and White Deer Creek, making it ideal for backcountry camping and paddling access.

Motorized camping requires advance reservations (limited to 7 consecutive nights at $10/night), while primitive backpack camping is permitted without a permit for single-night stays in most areas.
