We stay here every year at least for one occasion. Always great service at checking. Campground is well maintained, and quiet when it needs to be. River access is great. You will not regret choosing this campground if you are in the Lewistown/Greater Harrisburg area.

This was our first year here. It is a nice quiet campground, not overly commercialized, we loved this. We enjoyed the food trucks on the weekend, it was nice to support local businesses. It seems like they are doing improvements yearly, so it will be even better. The staff is GREAT both office and the maintainence crew, the get to know everyone and tke care of any issues promptly. We will be back for our second season next year, we can't wait !!

We’ve been returning to Waterside every season since our first visit in 2010. The level roads and canal path are great for long walks. The river access for fishing, kayaking, or swimming makes the clear water of the Juniata accessible to all campers. The full hook ups preferable to dump stations.
