About
Bald Eagle State Park's campground offers 162 sites split between the modern Russell P. Letterman Campground (94 sites, many with electric or full hookups, close to the beach and marina) and a more rustic camping area (68 walk-to tent and vehicle sites). On-site amenities include showers, flush and vault toilets, and dump stations at both areas.
Fees
Base rate $16/night for PA residents or $21/night for non-residents, plus $7/night for an electric site or $14/night for a full-hookup site with water and sewer, plus $4/night for sites near showers. A $4/night premium applies Fri/Sat/holidays. A $6.50 reservation fee applies per booking. This park's current pet policy could not be confirmed with confidence; check directly with the park before bringing pets.
The campground opens the second Friday of April and closes in mid-December.
