What Guests Are Saying

Hearts Content Recreation Area offers a beautiful, quiet campground in an old-growth forest, with well-kept sites that provide privacy and amenities like picnic tables and fire pits. The staff is friendly and maintains cleanliness, particularly in the bathrooms. While there are some concerns about a stump at site 9 and the availability of firewood, overall, visitors enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and numerous hiking opportunities.

Hearts Content has a small no frills campground which is perfect for those who want a simple, quiet outdoor experience. The old growth forest trail passes through some of the biggest trees in Pennsylvania and lets you see what the forest might have looked like hundreds of years ago. It's great.

Wonderful campground. Spacious sites with good distance between. Great telescope sites in the two fields to check out the super dark night skies. I look forward to returning.
