We just got back from the "Grand Canyon of PA", and it was great.  Pine Creek Gorge is a beautiful canyon in PAs northern Tier, just west of Wellsboro.  Fantastic views, and a vigorous hike down into the gorge.  Leonard Harrison SP is on the eastern rim of the gorge, while Colton Point SP is on the western rim.  The campground at LHSP was excellent.  There are only 27 sites, and only about 8-10 of those have electricity, but water standpipes are numerous (no sites have dedicated water, like most PA state parks).  The sites were wide, long, and mostly level.  The dry sites were mostly shaded, while the electric sites were mostly sunny.  The bath house was modern, clean, and comfortable, although there is only 1 shower in each side, and a combo in between.  With the relatively few camp sites, there were no long wait times while we were there.

We did drive over to Colton Point SP, and checked out the campground (and the views) over there.  The CPSP campground is all primitive, and first come/first served.  The sites are nicely spaced and very private (forest).  I would definately consider boondocking over there next time we go.

Hope this helps anyone looking for info.
