Overview

Ives Run Campground sits on the eastern shore of Hammond Lake in north-central Pennsylvania.

Surrounded by lush forested ridges, the lake offers recreation for the entire family, including picnicking, swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, hunting and wildlife watching.

Ives Run, with its beach and grassy sunning area, is a great place for kids of any age. The facility has campsites as well as group picnic shelters that can be reserved for family reunions, company picnics, neighborhood gatherings and other group events.

Recreation

Tioga-Hammond Lakes offer a variety of outdoor activities. With a boat ramp and overnight mooring, campers can easily spend time on the water.

Anglers seek out record crappie, giant musky, striped, largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye and channel catfish.

The fields and forests around the lakes are popular destinations for both local and out-of-state hunters looking for large and small game species native to the eastern hardwood forests.

Four hiking trails, each offering something different, can be accessed from this facility. Near the visitor center, archers use the mile-long Archery Trail, which has targets and tree stands.

Facilities

Ives Run is a large facility, with nearly 200 reservable campsites, as well as five reservable group picnic shelters available for day use. Other amenities include hot showers, playgrounds, boat ramp, rental mooring slips and a dump station. A swimming area with a grass beach and concrete bottom is also provided. Various sport fields and a volleyball court are close by.

Natural Features

The partially forested campground sits in the pristine setting of the Endless Mountains region of Pennsylvania, along the Allegheny Plateau in the Appalachian Mountains. The Tioga-Hammond Lakes Project consists of two separate dams and reservoirs. The surrounding land paints a scenic picture of rolling mountains and open fields.

ives Run is clean and there is plenty of room at each campsite. The hot water in the bathrooms works very well. While there it’s worth a trip to Corning, New York about 35 minutes away to see the Corning museum complete with glass blowing demonstrations.

Site 97 is a great overall site and we consider it prime. Flat. Great views. Handy trail system, kayaking, water access. Very private but regular friendly walkers to chat with.

The campground host were the best that we ever had expierenced. They was on site 64, i don't remember their names. They were very personable and informative. The campground is always well kept. The Halloween event was nice this year. We will definately return next year.

Mostly for rv’s and trailers, not too many flat sites for tenting, but there are some, the road to pine camp could use some work. I am thankful though, that the Army Corps of Engineers work so hard to make their sites affordable and accessible. Expect to hear fracking trucks 24 hours a day.

We really enjoy camping at Ives Run. The campground is very clean and quiet. The camp hosts are very friendly. We have stayed in multiple campsites with full hook ups and all of them have been fine. We will be back next year.
