This is a very quiet campgrounds. Not your active lifestyle campgrounds. There is a bathhouse and horseshoes on site. Ice is $3.50 a bag and firewood is $20 for a self loaded wheelbarrow. Full hookups are great. Wifi is fast. There are a couple of pavilions with plenty of picnic tables for a gathering. Very close to whatever you need. Walmart, lowes and restaurants. If you want to relax id definitely recommend this place on the river.

We stayed at Penn Avon for 1 night, as we were headed home. The site was very easy to get in & out of. The bathrooms were clean. Everyone was friendly. The price was reasonable. It was easy to get to from the highway. A supermarket & gas station were very close. We were able to bring our dogs.

Penn Avon is a great, well groomed campground. It’s very close to the nice Selingrove downtown. The park has excellent sites with great sites. Gravel is very good. All utilities were spot on. The park is super clean. Probably our only concern is that it’s a little pricey. We did enjoy our stay.

AWESOME family campground, great facilities, site are easy in-out. Their is a family of American Bald Eagles no more than 1500 yards from the campground. Penn Creek rolls through for great ascetics and more. What a great "little campground". So happy I am there.

0 amenities, roadway nearby is very noisy at night. Made a lomg term reservation here with a 44ft fifth wheel. Backed into a spot and all was fine until I receive a message asking me at the end of March to move my unit to lot 17. Lot 17 according to their office is for up to a 42 foot unit and is back against the creek bed. Literally the back of the site drops straight down. Lot 17 is also on the corner of the roadway without extra space. I paced the spot and showed the office lady that my unit where I would be comfortable backing it to during rainy season with soft ground and erosion would block site 18 and be into the road so that if a large unit took that corner wrong they would take out our unit. We were supposed to see the owner to talk. Never did instead got a text stating we needed to move to lot 17 regardless of our discomfort. We left March 30th then were asked again via text if they had another spot would be stay. We asked what lot and never got a reply. The secretary was extremely rude and told us "we did you a favor". I was a paying customer on an extended rental worth approximately $15k when all said and done.
