Who owns and regulates Penn Highlands Campground?

Does Penn Highlands Campground have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2007 and September 2025. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 required treatment not met, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
