Canyon Country Campground

This is great if you wanna be close to the canyon. It's only a 5 minute drive and there's a trail that leads right over to the PA grand canyon that is a mile long. Although it doesn't seem that anyone maintains the trail because there were many trees down and we had to climb over some and we had to climb under some. Plus we had to watch out for thorned bushes growing over the trail and some parts of the trail were only wide enough for just your feet. There were no easy trails except for walking around the campground at the different camp sites. Not super family friendly. They have a game room (which costs money) but the change machine was broken. They have a pirate ship for kids to climb up into and slide down. They also have a single regular swing and a tire swing. That's it. My 2 year old got bored so we ended up leaving a day early. We had a cabin but I do not recommend. It seemed nice at first but the queen bed was super uncomfortable and you could feel all the springs. When I brought it up, they claimed it was a brand new mattress but there's no way unless it was a mistake at whatever warehouse they came from and, in my opinion, they would have felt it when they put it on the frame. There was also a twin bunk bed but the one end of it smelled like vomit. When I mentioned that, someone came with some sanitizing spray but it didn't fully help. It also shouldn't have smelled like that to begin with. So if you stay, maybe use a rent site or RV. I'm not sure how the bathhouse is since we had a cabin but that might be the better option.

Cute and clean campground. Owner is super-nice. The showers have the least water pressure I've ever seen. Do not try to wash your hair. Bathhouse are clean.

We stayed in site "V" in a class C pulling a Jeep and paid $54/nt. The road the campground is on is extremely narrow with overhanging branches. Check-in was a breeze and Ryan was very friendly and helpful. I had a very long back-in with full hookups and the campground was almost empty immediately after the 4th of July, which was definitely unexpected. Unfortunately, several low hanging branches drug along my RV backing in, which I reported to Ryan. By the time we were ready to leave, nobody had come to cut the branches, so I rigged up my ladder and did it myself. The laundry room is very humid and dirty with 1 washer out of order, as was the change machine. Wash was $1.50 and dry $1.00. They have a game room with pool, airhockey and assorted arcade games. Again, very humid inside. We didn't use the bathrooms or showers, but we heard they are also dirty and humid and have rugs on the floors, which you NEVER do in bathrooms for health reasons. There is no dumpster, only an open trailer, so the trash sits all week collecting flies. Consequently, there are fly strips hanging everywhere. The midges were also annoying, but there were no mosquitoes, and I'm OK with that. They also have cabins for rent, but none of them have air conditioning... no thanks... They do have a dump station, but it's in an odd location on grass between trees on a slope... definitely not ideal. There is a hike up to an old (privately owned) fire tower, which you can climb up... for $5... that you don't find out until you get up there. Good exercise nonetheless. The CG is only 15 minutes from Darling Run Access on the Pine Creek Rail Trail, but Google will steer you on very scenic dirt roads to get there, which is doable in any vehicle and recommended. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. I would, however, strongly recommend to the owners that a little elbow grease goes a long way at very little cost, and the laundry and bath areas could easily be cleaned and refreshed. And get a dumpster or use lidded trash cans. We're glad we visited!

Very cute. Great campsites. It costs money to go to the fire tower and we had no idea. You will need a credit/debit card (no cash) and it cost $9 to climb it. It would have been nice to have that information ahead of time.

This was our second time staying at Canyon Country. My husband used to visit with his family as a child. Last year we stayed in the cottage in the fall and it was really nice. The place was cozy and clean. We enjoyed our stay. This summer, we weren't too impressed with the cottage, but we still enjoyed our stay. We took a drive over to Stony Fork Creek to check it out, and it seemed like that would've been a better choice for our family, being that we have little ones who would enjoy the pool and activities they have going on. It would be nice if they made some improvements at Canyon Country. I heard great things about it and how it used to be years ago. It would be sad to see it get shut down.

Recently stayed for the first time. First time tent camping and the location was great for where we wanted to go. Bathrooms are clean. No mirrors, but that was OK. Shower and water pressure was great. Very warm! Only downside was not really a spot to put clothing so you definitely want to bring a small bag with you. Campsite itself was very easy to navigate, I liked the fact the lights are left on for the bathhouse so it was easy to find. Tent site is on the small side, but we definitely made it work. Pathway to the state park/trail is not maintained and pretty narrow in some spots, but that has nothing to do with the site itself. Just as a heads up for fellow travelers. Owners were pleasant and attentive.

A Perfect Getaway at Canyon Country Campground!** I recently had the pleasure of staying in one of the cabins at Canyon Country Campground, and I can confidently say it was an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning natural beauty surrounding the campground. The cabin itself was cozy, well-appointed, and provided the perfect blend of comfort and rustic charm. One of the highlights of our stay was the direct entrance to the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. We were able to explore the breathtaking trails and take in the awe-inspiring views right from our doorstep. It made our hiking adventures so convenient and enjoyable! The peaceful atmosphere of the campground allowed us to unwind and connect with nature. We loved spending evenings around the fire pit, sharing stories and stargazing under the clear night sky. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. If you're looking for a perfect getaway that combines adventure and relaxation, I highly recommend Canyon Country Campground. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience! Thank you for an amazing stay!
