Moshannon State Forest Lower Jerry Run Campground
Established Campground
Lower Jerry Run occupies a small clearing surrounded by mature oak and maple forest at 1,600 feet elevation. Twelve primitive sites with fire rings and tables, pit toilets, and a hand pump for water. Sites accommodate tents and smaller RVs up to 25 feet. Quiet except during hunting seasons when it fills with local sportsmen. No fees, first-come camping.
Reached via 6 miles of maintained gravel road from Route 970, suitable for any vehicle but watch for logging trucks during weekdays. Open seasonally May through late fall, exact dates depend on snow. Prime jumping-off point for Quehanna Wild Area’s extensive ATV and hiking trail system.
