About

Colton Point State Park sits on the west rim of Pine Creek Gorge, Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon, offering a rustic camping experience with stunning natural scenery. The 368-acre park resonates with the charm of the Civilian Conservation Corps era from the 1930s, featuring rugged overlooks with spectacular views across the canyon to Leonard Harrison State Park on the opposite rim. The campground provides 25 individual campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning no advance reservations are accepted. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. The campground is equipped with vault toilets and water spigots but does not have a sanitary dump station, electric hookups, or showers. An organized group tenting area with 90-person capacity is also available and can be reserved in advance. The park's location in north central Pennsylvania provides access to excellent hiking trails, including routes along the canyon rim and down into the gorge. Wildlife watching opportunities abound, and the fall foliage is particularly spectacular in early October. The park is open year-round for day use, though camping is limited to the warmer months when facilities are operational.
