Discover Locust Lake State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

For centuries, Native Americans resided and hunted in Locust Valley. When European immigrants discovered coal in the region in the mid-1800s, they flooded the valley, which in turn drove the Native American tribes out. Coal mining turned out to be a poor endeavor, and the miners turned to lumber and stripped the region. The once verdant forest was gone by the 20th century. In the early 1900s, two brothers purchased a majority of Locust Valley, PA with the intention of turning it into a resort spot. They planted thousands of trees, cleared out the dense underbrush and set about to create a lake. While digging, they found a dam with a water wheel under seven feet of dirt and leaves, evidence of a long-gone era.

Getting Outdoors

The tiny state park in the heart of Schuylkill Highland has plenty to offer, hiking, fishing, and views galore, and RV camping at Locust Lake State Park is plentiful, too. The mix of oak, maple, hemlock, and pine trees tower overhead, their branches knitting together to form a canopy that provides welcome relief on a hot summer day. The underfoot is a mass of ferns, wild grasses, and wildflowers. Hikers should beware poison ivy and poison oak; they run rampant in this part of Pennsylvania. Bordering the open meadows are thatches of wild blackberries and blueberries. There’s nothing like fresh berries just picked off the vine, provided that bears and deer don’t eat them all first.

Camping at Locust Lake State Park

When you book a camper in Schuylkill County, finding a temporary home for it is high on the to-do list. The main road meandering into the Locust Lake State Park curls around the small lake, cutting through lush green woods, as it leads to a large campground. Camping at Locust Lake State Park is rustic compared with some private RV resorts. It does boast nearly 300 lots, many of which with electric hookups. Each site has a parking pad and a fire ring. Restrooms and showers are a short walk from most sites. A portion of the campground is dog-friendly, as well, which is a nice plus. One catch, though: this campground is closed in winters.

Exploring the Area

Though the Schuylkill Highlands is as rural as it gets, there are plenty of attractions in the neighboring towns. The Mountain Valley Golf Course, just a few minutes away from Locust Lake State Park campground, boasts two 18-hole championship courses designed by Brian T. Ault, a renowned course designer. Located close to Barnesville, the fairways are shaded by Broad Mountain.

Trailer was exactly as described and Grigory was a fantastic host. He walked me through all the systems, and loaned me his hitch when mine wasn't quite tall enough. I look forward to renting from him again.
