Great campground. The facilities have been updated and new equipment. 3 couples and we stayed in our 2 travel trailers. Sites were clean, new fire pits and picnic tables. We will definitely be returning to this campground whether as a group or solo couples read more

I can't begin to tell you how awesome Tyler and Carrie are. From helping us back into a way too tiny site for a 35' Class "A" to accommodating our move to a larger site. The game room has a pool table which was awesome for us adults. Everyone in the campground was friendly; even the seasonals!! October was the perfect time to visit ! The drive from Buffalo was BEAUTIFUL to say the least. The campground had well kept trails that led to the tower and circled back. Again, AWESOME scenery!! We are already planning on returning next year!! Thank you so much Carrie and Tyler; you are the best!!!! Sue, Chris, Rhea, Patty, Teri and Lori!! read more

This place absolutely sucks.poor wifi. So cell service call drops. No cable. No one on office called number was owner was told someone would be there soon. No office hours listed so someone shows up at 945am. Asked about place was not what advertised. Said we were leaving owner said we still owed for week. .my spouse and I both work for companies that deal with customer service. No help or desire to help from owner. Girl at desk said a person could try this other camp ground up the road. He'll no we just drove 5 hours and lost how much money we are heading home. Couple from Connecticut was asking about buying water in store none said to drive so many miles to local store we gave them wayer,bread, frozen meals. read more

We love the Wellsboro area, and this was our third visit to Canyon Country Campground. The campground is small, rustic, and privately-owned, which is nice since you get personalized attention from owners Jim and Lindy and their dog Misty. The whole campground is heavily wooded, which increases the sense of privacy, although (as with most campgrounds) you cannot reserve a specific site and you are placed on the smallest site that will accommodate your rig, even if larger sites are available. This time around we were placed on site 3, which accommodated our 26' travel trailer well enough, but required creative parking in order to fit my truck on the site as well. We wound up having to squeeze the truck in along the front edge of the trailer and at the very edge of the woods, which didn't leave us any room to walk around the entire truck (we had to squeeze around the passenger side and some trees in order to get into our camper). I saw other campers park their tow vehicles perpendicularly at the rear of their sites. The sewer pipe is the non-threaded type, so you will need either a rubber sewer hose seal, or use some of the plentiful rocks to weigh down the fitting end. Also, the sewer hose is mid-site, and my RV drain is at the rear of my rig, and this particular site is un-level enough that my sewer hose had to run uphill from my camper to the pipe. I remedied this by placing more rocks under my sewer hose support to get the hose more level, but I still had to manually lift the hose along its length as I was emptying the tanks. There is no cable tv here, our antenna didn't pick up any channels, and we had very weak cellular service (although there is a pay phone by the office!). WiFi is available only in close proximity to the office, and the network is password protected. The rate chart says that only the first hour is free, but Jim told us that the policy is in place just to keep kids from hogging all the bandwidth, and that he wouldn't charge us if we went over an hour (we wound up not using it anyway). Speaking of kids, there is very little for them to do here... except to actually, you know, CAMP. The "playground" is very small, and the game room houses only a pool table and an air hockey table. But there is a nice trail that you can use to hike to Leonard Harrison State Park and the edge of the "Grand Canyon" which we love taking our dogs on (takes us about 15-20 minutes). We didn't use the bathrooms or showers, but I did check them out and they looked very clean. There is also a laundry and dish washing station available. This is our go-to place when we visit the area, and we look forward to returning. read more

My husband and I had a blast! The camp ground was very well maintained! We stayed in a tent and did all of our cooking over the fire. We loved how close the camp ground was to the PA Grand Canyon. We loved seeing the dogs in the office (a nice little welcoming party). The hospitality that Carrie provided did not disappoint! She was amazing throughout our entire stay! I will be recommending this camp ground to everyone I know! read more

The campground is much smaller than it appears on the website map, which makes it challenging to drive around and get your rig in the spot. However, it is peaceful and quiet. We reserved 2 spots, wanted full hook up for both. We could only get one full hookup, so the other was supposed to be 50 amp. Pulled in and it was 30 amp. They gave away our 50 amp spot. They did however let us borrow an adapter for the weekend to make it work. No dog park and their dog walk was an area 8x8 that was hayed. Lots of tenters, and definitely more suited for them. read more

Firstly, I called to make a reservation at this campground but had to leave a message on their voicemail-- not a problem. When my phone call was returned, the woman on the other line was kind of rude; it was off-putting. Her tone was condescending when I asked for a "permit" instead of a "reservation"; slip of the tongue. She immediately went on a diatribe about how they didn't have those there and if I wanted a permit, I'd have to call the state park, etc. and she wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise. She sounded about ready to hang up before I was able to correct myself and say that I was sorry and that I meant to say I wanted a reservation. So afterwards, I reserved a spot and I was told it would cost about $30 down payment over the phone and then about $30 when we arrived to the site. So we get to the site after the office had closed on the day of our arrival, but there was a Late Arrivals board with our name on it. Most noticeably, each site is VERY open with little privacy. There isn't much brush or thick trees around each site; you're on display for everyone else in the surrounding sites or passers by to see. Also the sites are on on top of each other; there is very little space between each site. If you have kids, this is probably great for you in terms of keeping an eye on them. But we were a small group of a few adults who came out to the Grand Canyon of PA to enjoy nature and not be up other people's ying yangs as we are forced to be in our everyday lives as it is. There were also a lot of families with loud children there, and there was no separation to even muffle a little of the sound. Again, probably a great spot if you have kids, but not if you want peace, quiet, and privacy. They do however have quiet hours starting at 10pm. Because we arrived after hours and in the dark, we settled in the wrong site and were asked to move the next morning. We had no problem with this and moved our tents and equipment quickly and without any issues. Then we had to register in the office during business hours. We were charged close to $100 for our single tent site. Now we've stayed at the Leonard Harrison State Park camp site before and paid about $12 total for our stay. The price alone is a reason not to stay here. The people at the front desk were very rude and demanding, not at all welcoming. They had a lot of attitude and hostility toward us, I think because we accidentally set up in the wrong spot (which was not reserved) but we moved our things when they asked without a problem. Also we heard one of the workers at the site yelling, "Look what they did!!!" when they were emptying our recycling bin because we had put cans AND bottles in our recycling bin instead of just cans. Apparently, it was 'Cans Only', but the writing on our bin was rubbing off/covered up with dirt. Sorry for recycling! How dare we. Also, what are you supposed to do with the plastic bottles then? Just toss them? We ended up taking our bottles home to recycle them. Also at night, one of the men who works at the site drives around on a golf cart and shines his flashlight into your campsite and will actually get off the golf cart and walk around with his flash light and check out your site multiple times per night. What is this, an NSA-run campsite? Again, we came out here for privacy and a peaceful weekend, which we did not get. I will say the bathrooms were maintained very well and were extremely clean compared to other sites at which we have camped. Also the Grand Canyon of PA was a relatively short hike away, which was convenient and nice. So I would say this campsite is best for you if you have children; you don't mind paying a lot of money for things; you don't care about privacy or tranquility in your campsite; you're a neat freak/germophobe when it comes to bathrooms (but keep in mind that you're camping. Outside. In the woods. Really.) read more

Canyon Country Campground - Campgrounds Near Me - Wellsboro, Pennsylvania

This a great small, low key, quiet campground within walking distance to the PA Grand Canyon. We loved that it was not resort style. Wooded and shady. Staff was great. Facilities were acceptable. Water in the shower was nice and hot. It's under new ownership with campground management experience and updates are being made. The entire mountain area has little to no cell signal. Expect to unplug. There is some WiFi at the campground, but WiFi is only as good as the base signal. We could make calls and had some internet. We will go back. Good luck Canyon Country Campground! read more

Wonderful campground. Pretty quiet, campers were not on top of each other, and a lovely hike away from Leonard Harrison State Park. Our cabin was comfy and relatively spacious. Ours even had its own bathroom...with scalding hot water if you wanted it! Had both the standard charcoal grill-on-a-pole AND a fire ring AND fitted grills for the ring in case you wanted to cook over wood not charcoal (as we did). We would return in a heartbeat...even my über-selective (aka "picky") wife loved it. read more

The campsite itself was great. It was quiet, out of the way, and clean. My wife and I enjoyed the natural setting that included trees between the camp sites. All the tent sites looked to be fairly level even though they were a bit rocky. If you plan on sleeping on the ground you may want to bring an extra pad to put below your sleeping bag. The campground is very close to the canyon. It's about a one mile hike to the canyon. We were told that it's an easy hike on a good path. We didn't try it. We drove to the canyon which is only a few minutes away. My biggest issue was with the directions that they suggested. The way they phrased a couple things confused me a little bit. One example is they said to follow the road to the traffic light in the middle of town. I thought this would be the first light. It's actually the second light. My suggestion to fix this would be to state that it's the second light and to ad street names. read more

What a wonderful place to stay. We were greeted by Lindy who was as pleasant as can be. We inadvertently scheduled our stay a month early..they had no problem accommodating our reservation with no issues. Fast forward to the next morning..we have a flat tire..in pennsylvania on a Sunday..not the best thing to have happen. Lindy and Jim were so helpful and looked up places where we could go that would be open. They also let us use their phone. They had no issue letting two members of our party hang around the site after the scheduled checkout as the tow truck could only fit 2 of us. Canyon country campground was overall exactly what you'd think it would be! A wonderful campsite within walking distance of the canyon. Lindy and Jim were extraordinarily accommodating from the start with directions and a general cheery demeanor. I would and will absolutely stay there again and I recommend this to anyone visiting the PA Grand Canyon. read more

We found this campground in the Pennsylvania camping directory and glad we did. Small, private and quiet. Just what we like. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. No frills but everything you need. We camp in a motor home and found the site to be very nice and surrounded by trees. Would recommend if you like this type of camping. read more

I stayed here with a group of 5 people over Memorial Day weekend, reserving 2 adjacent basic camping sites (tents, no electric). The staff was friendly and welcoming upon arrival, and also gave us the choice of 2 different campsites since there were 3 adjacent vacant spots. Having stayed in a number of PA state parks previously, this was on par with those experiences. They kept the bathrooms and showers clean for the duration of our stay. You can conveniently buy ice and firewood at the office - and they even deliver the firewood to your campsite. Aside from sitting around the campfire, we also used the horseshoe pit, volleyball net, and game room. We hiked the trail/road from the campground into Harrison State Park, where you can access the canyon trails and lookout points. Overall it was a great weekend and we would stay here again! read more

Someone stole our fold up chair and a hatchet from our campsite when we left it unattended. Front desk person decided to be a wise guy instead of apologetic about it. Try Stony Fork instead . read more

This past weekend was the 2nd time we've visited Canyon Country Campground and our stay this time was just as good as our first! This is a privately owned campground in a secluded wooded area that accommodates tents, RVs and has cabins as well. We stayed on a tent site with electric and water (we didn't need either but the price was low enough so why not). The owners were very kind during our stay and they have a silver lab who made sure to visit each camper for a quick hello at least once a day. The bathrooms are always clean and well maintained. There's a game room on site along with a laundry room (which has wifi) right by the office. The small store in the office carries all the right necessities for camping- firewood, fire starters, flame color changing packets, drinks, stuff to make s'mores, etc and what it doesn't carry, you can easily get from the grocery store a short drive away! There is also a nice natural trail to walk that leads right into the Grand Canyon state park. And there's a drivable path that leads to a Lookout Tower which overlooks the entire PA Grand Canyon! We will definitely be back again and will be recommending this campground to all of our friends and family! read more
