Several state parks and private campgrounds near Alexandria, Pennsylvania offer cabin camping ranging from rustic structures with woodstoves to fully furnished cabin rentals with private bathrooms and full kitchens. Black Moshannon State Park offers 20 cabins, including 13 rustic and 6 modern options. The modern cabins feature comfortable bathrooms, kitchens with full-sized appliances, and efficient heating systems. Lake Raystown Resort and Seven Points provide waterfront cabin accommodations with proximity to boating and fishing. Canoe Creek State Park Campground features pet-friendly cabins with two bedrooms, one with a full-size bed and another with bunk beds. "The cabins have nice bathrooms with hot showers, a common area with a lot of furniture, a kitchen with large table and full sized appliances," notes one visitor to Canoe Creek.
Cabin types range from basic rustic structures with woodstoves to deluxe units with full kitchens and private bathrooms. Parker Dam State Park features cabins described by visitors as "comfortably primitive with an external bathhouse with cabin key only access." Most state park cabins operate seasonally, typically from April through October, though some like Black Moshannon remain open until mid-December. Private cabin rentals at Raystown Lake include more secluded options with amenities like decks, gas grills, and multiple fire pits. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months and fall foliage season. Many locations designate specific cabins as pet-friendly, with others maintaining pet-free accommodations.
Most rustic cabins provide beds and basic furniture but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and toiletries. According to one reviewer at Canoe Creek, "These cabins are not equipped with any type of consumables, cookware or linens. You really need to bring everything if you're planning on actually using the bathroom or kitchen." More deluxe cabin rentals may include kitchen items, dishes, and cooking utensils. Firewood is available for purchase at most campgrounds, typically costing $5-6 per bundle. Cabin at Raystown Lake provides all kitchen items for eating and cooking, including a coffee pot and toaster. The town of Huntingdon, approximately 20 minutes from several cabin locations, offers grocery stores and restaurants for additional supplies.

Enormous property, but...
We spent a long weekend for walks in the woods, seeing the fall colors, and all around a huge lake.
What We Liked:
- Even though the sites are sloped, they’re huge. I like that a lot.
- This property is enormous. They have a marina on the lake, a wedding facility, conference center, lots of cabins which look pretty good, and tent sites in addition to the RV sites. Go say hi to the goats behind the store. The property is amazing!
- If you’re interested, it’s a 90-minute drive to the Flight 93 Memorial— well worth the trip!
Things to Keep in Mind:
- The roads getting there are like a roller coaster. This isn’t the resort’s fault, but something you need to know if you’re going there.
- The sites are sloped. Took several blocks to get even close to level. I may be spoiled, but I really appreciate a level site.
- No sewer connection. There’s a dump station available, but just know the sites are water and electric only.
Would We Return?
- Probably not. It’s not fun driving in that area and there’s nothing much to do in the area.

GuideCrooked Run Campground — Prince Gallitzin State Park
Very large CG. I car camped at site 066 (with electric) in mid-October and CG was 3/4 empty. Nice location on Glendale Lake with a beach and boat activities (for warmer months). Showers had no hot water but facilities were nice. Very little separation between sites. Nearby hunters discharging guns into evening hours.

I would not recommend to anyone
This campground is nothing as stated in the reviews. And now I know why. The one review on here besides mine is from the owner. The bathrooms are not clean. I was told for Labor Day weekend I could stay for two nights had reserved and all. They then abruptly cancelled my reservation and took three days to respond and say I could have a different cabin and tent sight but would need to stay three nights because of the holiday. They also charged a cleaning for a service pet which is not legal. We then showed up and were the only people staying that weren’t seasonal site people and very not welcomed. The first comment made was here come the weekend warriors. We look at the cabin which was ironically filthy and covered in mouse poop yet we got charged a cleaning fee. The grass was not mowed the porter potty’s so gross bugs are crawling in the bottom. The camp store was closed during the car show they had and when we asked when it will be open they stated it will not. It was 1 pm on a Saturday. The reservation process was unorganized. The playground was not mowed or weed whacked and a slide is ratchet strapped together. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Well maintained
The sites and roads are well maintained. Some sites are on hilly roads but are acceptable for tenters. The bathhouse is older but the showers are hot. August 2026

Very clean campgrounds with nice trails along the lake and the creek that feeds it! Plenty of space near swimming area and even a geocache to find!

Home Away From Home
I don’t know what it is about this place but whenever I’m here all my worries are gone! I can honestly say IM RELAXED!!! I’m relaxed- whether I’m riding the golf cart eating ice cream, playing in the arcades, walking around in the campground store, playing mini golf, fishing from our campsite, watching the doggy’s play in the dog park. I’m honestly happy here!!! My favorite sites are by the lake or river. The bathhouses were clean!! We don’t swim but the pools looked great!! I’m always sad to leave but super excited to come back!! I have a video review on my YouTube channel @UpOnTheRidge304 about this campground - feel free to check it out.
christian G.GuideRussell P Letterman Campground — Bald Eagle State Park
Loved it
Its was great, we stayed in new area, sites had ample room, not many trees at our spot so summer there wouldnt be much shade but we were next to a retention pond/drainage. We brought our dig whole loved running through there.
Not much to say besides it was clean, not crowded (in November) and decent spacing between sites
Guide to Alexandria
Cabin camping near Alexandria, Pennsylvania provides access to extensive lake recreation and forest trails. Raystown Lake, spanning over 8,000 acres, serves as the region's centerpiece with water activities ranging from fishing to motorized boating. Cabins throughout the area vary significantly in terms of seasonal operation and proximity to hiking trails.
What to do
Biking at Seven Points: Mountain biking enthusiasts can access extensive trail systems directly from Ridge camp. "The 40 some sites in the Ridge camp are a mix of shaded and open sites... This upper loop is also the quietest of the loops and although there were still plenty of boaters in the camp there were just as many bikers," notes a camper at Seven Points.
Hiking to scenic viewpoints: Trails lead to spectacular overlooks near Raystown Dam. "We drove into Huntingdon and found signs to two outlooks which had spectacular views. One was Ridenour Overlook and the other Hawn's Overlook which were accessed from the same parking lot," according to a visitor at Seven Points.
Explore historic limestone kilns: Canoe Creek State Park features interesting historical structures. "There's an easy disc golf course, which was a nice little amenity. Several interesting hiking trails and the often-photographed limestone kilns are cool to see," mentions a visitor to Canoe Creek State Park Campground.
What campers like
Boat-accessible sites: Some waterfront locations allow boats to tie up at your campsite. "In fact, several sites allowed for boat tie ups right at your site so you could have both your camper/tent and boat at the same site," shares a reviewer at Seven Points.
Well-maintained camp roads: Many campgrounds feature orderly layout and well-kept roads. "All sites are paved as are the roads. Bathrooms are fairly modern and clean," notes a camper at Crooked Run Campground.
Spacious tent pads: Sites at many area campgrounds accommodate larger tents. "The site was clean, decently level area for tents, accessible to potable water and bathrooms with showers," mentions a reviewer at Crooked Run Campground.
What you should know
Cabin equipment needs: Plan to bring your own kitchen supplies for most locations. "All kitchen items for eating and cooking were provided. There was a coffee pot as well along with a toaster," explains a visitor at Cabin at Raystown Lake.
Water clarity varies: Lakes in the region may have different water characteristics. "Red Mo... The Iron Ore mines from the past have left the creek water stained red which is why its called the Red Mo with the locals," notes a camper at Black Moshannon State Park.
Terrain challenges: Some campgrounds feature significant elevation changes. "With the slope, however be aware of the kids and adults riding around on bicycles and skateboards," warns a visitor to Seven Points.
Tips for camping with families
Lake access options: Multiple swimming areas available with varying facilities. "The lake swimming area also had a snack bar and bathhouse," shares a reviewer at Seven Points.
Activity planning for children: Some parks offer structured activities. "Rangers were wonderful to work with in setting up teaching opportunities for the girls," explains a visitor to Pleasant Hills Campground.
Park entertainment options: Seasonal concerts and activities often available. "The RLRA has numerous activities one of which was Chris Collins and Boulder Canyon group who performed John Denver songs. They tour nationally and into Canada so not a small town group," mentions a Seven Points visitor.
Tips from RVers
Dump station amenities: Multi-lane dump stations available at some locations. "We filled up the fresh water tank at the ultra-cool 4 lane dump station... The dump station, as noted above had wide lanes and made the experience an easy and clean one," shares a camper at Seven Points.
Site leveling considerations: Review site maps and descriptions for elevation changes. "One backup attempt into the site and (according to our LevelMatePRO app) it was perfectly level...that was definitely a first for us," notes an RVer at Seven Points.
RV site access routes: Some access roads may be challenging. "Very rough road to get to campground. 15 minutes from 8000acre Raystown lake," cautions a visitor at Pleasant Hills Campground.
