Convenient stop on I-80
We stayed one night on our way through PA, and this was a nice stop along the way. We were in site 68, which wasn’t very level, but it was long enough before the steepest part of the slope that we didn’t need to unhook our tow vehicle (which is always annoying for one night). Some of the turns getting into the site were a bit sharp, and we had to thread the needle between the turn and a bunch of cars parked at the group site. I do so love navigating a tight turn with 20 people gawking at my skills, so I’m glad I could put on a show for them. Anyway, this was a nice quiet spot and we’d stay here again if we were in the area.
Be aware that there was massive construction on Hwy 26, with only one lane open the entire length of it, which made for some white knuckle driving to get in and out of the campground. We camped at The Bellefonte Campground in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed pizza delivery from Pizza Mia in Bellefonte; always nice when we don’t need to cook on a travel day:
We’d stay here again, though might look for alternatives if the road construction is still underway.

Our review on Campground Reviews:
Nice place to get away
We had a nice site tucked under the trees, which has pros and cons. On the plus side, it was shady and felt private. On the negative side, the trees made Starlink impossible to use, and our cell coverage wasn’t great. If you have to work or remain connected like we do, this is a problem, but luckily I didn’t have any critical meetings, so it worked out okay. There are a lot of amenities for families and kids, so I can see this would be a destination for folks who want to get away from the city. We used it as a jumping-off point to go into the city, as there aren’t a lot of options closer to the city for a large motorhome, and it was easy enough to drive to Yankee Stadium (about an hour and a half away). I would have loved to stay longer and explore more in the immediate area, however. Next time! We camped at New York City North / Newburgh KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.

Completed visiting all contiguous states
With our road trip to Connecticut and Rhode Island, we have now visited all 48 contiguous states of the US.
Here’s Jenn adding last state pin:
These states are so tiny, the pins in the state capitals overlap:
All 48 states:
Here’s the full pin board. Alaska and Hawaii are the only two remaining, which will require special efforts:
Here I’m adding the last state sticker of the 48 to the outside of our coach:
