There are several state parks that are within an hours drive of the festival site;

Go to http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/

Prince Gallitzin (1 hr 15min)

Shawnee (50 min)

Blue Knob (1 hr)

Laurel Hill State Park (1hr 5 min)

 

there are a few small RV/type campgrounds a half hour away or so but I am not familiar with them.  I've only stayed at Shawnee a long time ago as a kid but Prince Gallitzin and Shawnee are highly reccommended by locals.
