Hopewell Campground Introduce

Welcome to Hopewell Campground, located in Bradford, PA 16701, a destination for those seeking a rustic and natural camping experience. As a part of the Campgrounds & RV Parks category, Hopewell Campground provides a secluded environment for outdoor enthusiasts.

Based on customer reviews, it’s important to note that Hopewell Campground does not have readily available fresh water. The well is capped off, so campers must bring their own water or have a reliable water filtration system. Additionally, the campground offers a variety of sites, with those on the fringes potentially showing signs of neglect.

Despite these considerations, Hopewell Campground offers a unique experience for those looking to immerse themselves in nature. Features include:

Multiple campsites, allowing for a choice of location.
A secluded and natural setting.
Opportunities for canoe camping and exploration.
Potential for finding leftover firewood, though not guaranteed.
Access to nearby water sources, though these may require hiking and filtration.

It's crucial for visitors to practice responsible camping by packing out all trash and maintaining the natural environment. The campground offers a more primitive camping experience, ideal for those who are self-sufficient and prepared for rustic conditions.

For local users, Hopewell Campground provides a chance to escape into nature without traveling far. However, due to the lack of fresh water and the rustic nature of the sites, it is recommended that campers come prepared. Please plan accordingly and respect the natural environment.

NO FRESH WATER AT CAMPGROUND! The well is capped off. Third stop on my canoe camping trip, and the best thus far. I was going to stay at Handsome Lake, but with thunderstorms forecasted for the evening, that campground looked a little too exposed, though it did appear nice from the water, as I passed by. NOBODY was at Hopewell! Unfortunately, my hope for a well at Hopewell was dashed again. Apparently they are all capped off at all campgrounds. Lots of nice sites to choose from, but as has been the running theme, the closer to the fringes of the campground, the more neglected the sites. A huge bonus, someone left a lot of firewood at one of the sites, to which I helped myself to the few pieces I would need, and saved me the work of processing up my own, particularly with advancing thunderstorms heard in the distance. I prefer not to filter lake water, and seek running stream water when possible. However, Hopewell doesn't have a predominant headwater. I had to hike quite a ways to find a spot where I could catch from a spill, and even then, it didn't look much better than lake water.

I'm reluctant to even post this. Don't go here unless you know how to be a responsible person. If you pack it in, pack it out!

Pros: During the week was quite with few to no campers, well onsite for water, toilets smelled sweet, inexpensive, I brought an ax and bow saw so I had plenty of firewood onsite, next time I'll bring a chainsaw though, water to swim in, access to a nice hiking trail. Cons: During weekend, more crowded and louder
