Ryerson Station State Park

Small campground with a few full hookups & no Verizon or AT&T cell coverage. Great place if you enjoy the isolation. Sites were relatively small, well-spaced but not very private, and a mix of gravel, grass & dirt-mud; our full hookup site needed 4” side leveling blocks. The new bathhouse & laundry facility were a plus, but the latter was not available for some reason. There was no camp host when we visited in early October, and the park ranger rarely passed by. Access to the campground was difficult because the roads were very narrow and poorly maintained, and numerous large trucks servicing the petroleum industry surrounding the area drove at excessive speeds along the narrow, curvy roads.

One of the few PA SP opened year round, esp in the Western area of state. This area is great for hiking right from the campground and the trails are diverse and well blazed. We stayed Mar 30 - Apl 1 and there was no one at the campground except for one over-nighter. Caution to big riggers... the road up & down from the SP check-in office is narrow &, one hard hairpin turn. No problem for us in our 35' MH since the parking areas near the hairpin were unoccupied this early in the season and we could swing our rig wide. Road is narrow for 1/2 mi uphill to the campground but lightly traveled. No experience with on site restroom / showers since we dry camped with 50 amp electric and did not use CG facilities. Rate reflects out-of-state w/ senior discount.
