Harecreek Campground

Campsites at the Harecreek Campground are three minutes' walk or 20 minutes' drive from the center of Corry, where you’ll find a supermarket for stocking up on grocery supplies. There are also gas stations here if you need to fill up your RV rental, as well as numerous pizzerias, bars, and grills for those nights when you don’t feel like cooking. Corry flourished following the establishment of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad in the mid-19th century, as well as being boosted by the discovery of oil in nearby Titusville. It was chartered as a borough in 1863, with the city’s history documented at the Corry Area Historical Society’s museum, where an old logging locomotive is on display. A highlight of the city is its Romanesque-style National Guard armory that dates to 1906 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Corry is just under an hour’s drive from Erie, which perches on the shores of Lake Erie and serves as the county seat of Erie County. Learn about the Battle of Lake Erie at the Erie Maritime Museum, which is home to the reconstructed mid-ship of the “Lawrence” and the wooden-hulled US Brig Niagara. Art enthusiasts shouldn’t miss a visit to the Erie Art Museum, where more than 8,000 works are on display, ranging from American paintings to Indian bronze sculptures. If you’re traveling with kids, spend a day at the Waldameer Park & Water World, which is one of the oldest amusement parks in Pennsylvania. It’s home to thrilling roller coasters and gentler rides that are aimed at young children, such as carousels, teacups, and a funhouse. In the summer months, you can float along the Endless River, zip down the Liquid Lightning waterslide, or enjoy a splash around in the Tad Pool children’s complex. Whether you want to stretch your legs in the nature reserves of northern Pennsylvania or discover the industrial history of the region, rent a camper in Erie County and start planning your visit.
