Susquehanna State Park Campground

Campsite was perfect! Tucked back off the loop, close to the bathrooms which were clean and had working hand dryers and soap. Cool October evening, plenty of dead wood to keep the fire going. Only thing that was a negative was the train whistle all night next time I’d rock with some ear plugs for sure. Would stay again.

Bathrooms were clean and well equipped, that was the only likable thing. The playground was boarded and fenced off. Someone playing very loud music late on a Thursday night, and no one around to do a thing about it. Guy running a generator in the “no generator” area. Picnic tables in poor condition. People driving way too fast for a campground. Trash around the campsites at arrival.

I loved this park for camping, hiking, the history (Steppingstone Farm Museum and other buildings), and access to the river. Nice campsites, super clean bathhouse, and helpful, non hassling rangers.

Stayed here for 3 nights with our 22 foot travel trailer. Initial impressions weren’t great, check in was 3 pm but we arrived around 1:30 and they still wouldn’t let us go to our spot even though it was empty. So we then had to drive around really narrow roads to find a place to hang for the time. It was 90 degrees so not fun and the map was not good enough to determine where we could take our trailer. There is also virtually no Verizon signal in the park, maybe 1 bar so our booster was able to give us enough signal to look at the weather and check the Internet but no streaming. Also the park is not very well maintained, many low branches for a 10 foot tall trailer. There are only 7-8 sites with electric, water was only available at the different spigots but we were able to hook up to one before we parked and fill our fresh water tank. Not all of the electric sites are good for an RV. We had site 60 which was very well suited for an RV/trailer (even bigger than ours), plenty of room and lots of shade. Bath houses were standard for a state park. The dump station was sufficient although it’s narrow and they could put some more pavement so that you can not drive over the actual dump location. We were only here for a family reunion but the trail system looked nice and access to the river was available. Lots of bikers and kayakers.

Spent 4 nights mid-week in the Acorn loop. Quiet at night. Lots of bird chirping during the day. Bathroom and shower was clean. Site wasnt level, but not too bad. No complaints about the picnic table as in other reviews. Trail map available at check in booth (which was unmanned) is outdated (2009) so be prepared to get lost. Trails are eroded in spots, but nice scenery.
