R.B. Winter State Park Campground
Forty-three sites surrounding Halfway Lake, a 7-acre mountain lake perfect for swimming and trout fishing. The campground sits at 2,100 feet elevation in a mixed hardwood forest, offering cooler temperatures during hot summer months. Sites range from lakefront spots to wooded pull-ins, all with fire rings, tables, and nearby vault toilets. A sandy beach area and boat launch make this a popular family destination.
Located deep in Bald Eagle State Forest on a good gravel road that can get washboardy after heavy use. The campground is seasonal, typically open May through October depending on snow. No electric hookups, but potable water is available from hand pumps. Fills up quickly on holiday weekends.
