Welcome to Hughesville Camp, a cherished local institution located in the heart of Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. For residents across the state, finding an accessible, affordable, and peaceful retreat that still offers proximity to local attractions can be a challenge. Hughesville Camp, situated right in the charming borough of Hughesville, provides just that—a comfortable and accommodating haven for everything from weekend RV trips to annual family gatherings and retreats.

Unlike the large, crowded resort-style parks, this location maintains a quiet, community-focused atmosphere, allowing you to truly unwind. One of the greatest appeals for travelers and locals alike is its exceptional value, often noted by patrons for being significantly more cost-effective than other parks in the region, particularly during peak seasons like the Little League World Series. It’s a genuine slice of convenient, Pennsylvania camping life.

Hughesville Camp is strategically located at 199 Race St, making it highly accessible yet wonderfully secluded once inside the grounds. Its position right in the small town of Hughesville, PA, means campers are only a short distance from local essentials, including shops, groceries, and dining options—a convenience that is invaluable for longer stays.

For those traveling by RV or car from other parts of Pennsylvania, the camp is easily reached via Interstate 180, which connects to major routes like I-80. This connectivity makes it a prime stopping point for cross-state travel or a manageable drive for a weekend getaway from cities like Harrisburg or Scranton. A significant highlight of its location is the approximately 30-minute drive to South Williamsport, the home of the world-famous Little League World Series (LLWS). This proximity, combined with its highly competitive pricing, makes it a favored alternative for those seeking comfortable, full-hookup lodging during the busy August tournament season without the heavy price tag of Williamsport-area accommodation. Furthermore, the camp is situated about 20 minutes from the bustling hub of Williamsport itself, offering easy access to city amenities and cultural sites.
