Wright's Orchard Station Campground

We have a 2022 Airstream International 27FB (basically 28 Ft), no slides and tow with a Ford 450 with an 8 ft bed. We are only weekend warriors with the occasional longer vacation. We were here for 7 nights in July, 2022. Directions: I 99 Plank Road Exit, turn toward Hollidaysburg, just past Walmart is Convention Center Blvd—turn Right, as if going into Splish Splash Auto Wash. Road is Gravel/Dirt, with a slight incline. We are very low to the ground but did not rag at all. Stay right following Camping Blue Sign. At Campground Entrance sign directs you to stop and call. Owner will meet you and direct you to your site. Sites are all shale/stone…mostly level but some leveling is required. Each site has a concrete fire pit and nice picnic table. Small Campground…the outer “U” is for back in sites…most appear good for 35 ft units, some for larger. Inner portion are small pull thru sites…Tent sites are on the small part of the “U” in the back of the campground. There is plenty of space between units and all are separated by a strip of grass. Very nice landscaping throughout. While only 5 minutes off of Plank Road and 10 Minutes to the I99…car noise was generally blocked by the storage units in front of the campground. Restrooms/Shower Room are exceptionally clean and hot water was plentiful in them. Water pressure was good. One Shower stall area was fully handicapped accessible as it was large and had the roll in shower stall, grab bars and even a portable shower chair. Both shower areas had the shower curtain for showering and a shower curtain for the dressing area. Adjacent to the Bathroom/Shower Room areas was a Laundry Area…it had 2 washers and 2 dryers. Washers were $1.50 per load. It also had a wash sink area. Firewood was available for $8.00 for a milk crate full (approx 8 pieces) It is hard would and burns slowly…6 pieces of wood lasted 5 hours and we gave 2 to a neighbor who was staying there a bit longer. For most of the time, there were only 10-12 campers there …most were very pleasant and we found out they were work camping (nursing, railroad etc…) a few were retired and in the area for a few months and just thought they would stay there since costs were reasonable (about $40/Nt). Most seemed to have dogs and two had larger dogs (a very friendly boxer and an older yellow lab) Walmart, Sam’s Club, a Bank with ATM, Dentist, Mall, Doctors etc… are only 5 minutes away (though I would not walk there) and Sam’s had the cheapest gas in the area at the Sam’s Club Pumps. If you go out of the Campground and to the right about 2-3 miles is Meadows Ice Cream/Frozen Custard and an awesome Miniature Golf Place as well as a Doggy Daycare. Sheetz Convenience Store, Rutters Convenience Store a Hoss’s Steak and Seafood House and small Hotel are all in the immediate vicinity as well. For RV parts and accessories the closest is Ansley & Lewis RV Center. They have a good supply of parts and accessories and are an easy 15 minute drive from the campground. The campground has a few larger games you can use to play with but no organized activities program, playground, pool or hiking trails. The Campground is very well maintained and is great for an overnight or two stay while in the area. Within an hour drive there is Raystown Lake, which is a 26 mile Lake which allows power boats and has amazing Striped Bass Fishing and a number of State Parks like Trough Creek and Prince Gallitzin that offer plenty of Hiking Trails. We would absolutely recommend this Campground and will return again next year when back in the area again.
