Location... Located on approximately 35 acres at the confluence of Fishing Creek, and the Susquehanna River, Indian Head Campground offers grass covered, tree shaded sites for both RV's and tents, or more open sites if you prefer no trees. Tent sites are normally situated under trees, on grass, and have a table and fire ring. Water is close by, and our most popular tenting area is across from the restroom and shower building. The small pavilion is located there for tenters to use. There are more isolated tent sites near our boat ramp, and others may be found at various places around the campground. A very nice large, somewhat isolated and spacious area for group tent camping is available upon request.
Camping Sites... Our RV sites have a table and fire ring, 30 amp electric hookup, along with water. The RV unit will park on a gravel base, and is surrounded with grass and trees. We have a more open area that is popular with camping clubs. It has 30 amp electric and water, but no individual table or fire ring. A covered large pavilion is conveniently close by with a fireplace, tables, electric lights, and water for clubs to gather for meetings and meals.
The River... Our concrete boat launch at the mouth of Fishing Creek, places your boat just a lures throw from the Susquehanna River, an American treasure that originates in Cooperstown, New York, and empties into the Chesapeake Bay at Havre de Grace, Maryland. An ambitious plan is underway to map the river for boat or canoe trips with access points, boat launches, camping, historic points, hazards, waypoints, and other things of interest for a boating day trip, or more ambitious trips that you may wish to plan. Maps and guides will soon be available for purchase. Also underway is a project to utilize abandoned railroad lines, along with some private property, and create bicycling and hiking paths, allowing easy access from the campground onto the path.
Campground Store... We have a well stocked camp store that contains souvenirs, RV supplies, some limited food items that you may have forgotten, and some ice cream. We sell firewood for your campfires, and we have WiFi available for a charge.
Was our first trip with new camper. Staff was very friendly and even upgraded us to a full hookup pull through site due to other site being wet from recent rain.
Campground was great and very quite and family friendly. Our son loved the playground and had a blast riding his bike around. Awesome views and a right along a great section of the river.
Also only about 15 minutes from Knobels which was the reason for our trip. Had a blast at the campground and will be back for sure.
Didn't get to anything. We got routed there due to a tree down. It was nighttime and we were in a semi. 2 awesome guys in the parking lot helped us get backed around and out. Would like to go and stay. Must be great because the parking lot was full!
We were pleasantly surprised by our visit! We have a camper and this is our first season, but we’ve been to several campgrounds. Upon arrival, the site I had booked was wetter than they’d like, so they moved us (which was great!). Our new site was bigger than any other site we’ve been to. We had space and weren’t packed like sardines. The live band that played was great too! We’ll visit again!
The campground itself was great, the bathrooms were clean ( hot water included ), 2 bathrooms were near the river tents which last day were a bit dirty. The Owner was very welcoming and nice. I really do recommend this campground it felt safe, you can let the kids run around while you see them from your site. RIVER - you have to be careful with the river, there’s some spot near the edges that were deep.
