“Immerse yourself in the Woods”
The park lies in a cozy, steep-walled gorge carved by Rauchtown Run through the side of Nippenose Mountain. A northern hardwood forest blankets the bottomland along this spring-fed stream. Talus (rock) covered slopes and interesting rock formations are interspersed among a stunted oak forest growing on the steep mountainsides and ridges. This pretty valley is especially beautiful when the mountain laurel blooms in late June and during the fall foliage of early October. The 215,000-acre Tiadaghton State Forest nearly surrounds Ravensburg State Park’s 78 acres. The state forest has hunting, fishing and wildlife watching. A short drive away is Bald Eagle State Forest and the Mt. Logan and Rosecrans Bog natural areas. Rauchtown Run and its tributaries provide excellent cold water fishing for native brown and brook trout. Warm water fishing is within easy driving distance and includes the west branch of the Susquehanna River, Bald Eagle Creek and Blanchard Lake. The forested campground is open from the first Friday in May through the last Sunday in September. Each of the 21 sites has a picnic table and a fire ring. This campground does not accept reservations. Pets are permitted.

Confirmed by 1 users | Last reported on July 12, 2023Needed a place to stop heading down I80 and this fit the bill.
Tent only, first come first serve.
Only 3 sites in use on a Tuesday in July.
Water, flush toilets, and showers.
A bit pricy for one night, there was a 6.50 processing fee for using the iron ranger.
Some road noise from a rural road, but the horse and buggies clip clopping along were quite quaint.
A few hikes available in the park, and some sites are creek side.

This place was great for a late night camping visit. I arrived at 12:30 am. I had no issues filling out my envelop and finding a space to camp at. Took a shower in the morning and was on my way! Took a quit look at the part and it looks beautiful. I highly recommend this place if you need a space to camp.
