About the Park

Not every escape requires a long drive.

Raccoon Creek State Park spans 4,000 acres of rolling woodland, lakefront, and meadow in south-central Pennsylvania. The campground sits within the park's boundaries — close enough to civilization, far enough to forget it exists.

Established in the 1970s, the park was designed to preserve the natural character of the region while offering accessible outdoor recreation. Today it remains one of the most tranquil state park campgrounds in the Commonwealth — a place where families return year after year, where hikers find solitude, and where the night sky still looks the way it did before streetlights.

Whether you're passing through the Gettysburg corridor, seeking a quiet weekend away, or returning to the habits of campfire cooking and morning coffee on the porch, Raccoon Creek offers the kind of grounded simplicity that's harder to find than you'd think.
