The natural surroundings enhance the eco-friendly glamping experience with abundant outdoor activities accessible directly from these upscale accommodations. Waterside activities dominate the experience, with Seven Points providing immediate access to Raystown Lake for swimming, kayaking, and fishing, while Buttonwood Campground sits along the Juniata River, perfect for tubing and paddling adventures.

Wine enthusiasts can enjoy the permanent Juniata Valley Winery stand at Buttonwood, featuring local wines and refreshing wine slushies. A visitor noted, "The campground is divided into two sections with distinct atmospheres – the upper area near activities and the lower section with gorgeous river views, giving glampers options for their preferred setting."

GuideNice clean and quiet campground. The address online took us to the ranger station. Turn left BEFORE bridge. Couldn’t see sign from the road. The section we were in was “no pets allowed”. My kids loved the beach, swimming was not deep. Beach was big with adjacent playground. Lots of pavilions all over. The area was a little crowded for my liking.
LegendThis state park is at the top of the mountain and has a smaller lake perfect for a short kayak trip or fishing. Lovely views from the lake and very nice secluded sites. Our site was up a hill a little but we were good. We were right aside of flushing bathrooms and the dump station. We didn't like you had to go all the way out and around to dump and then out and around again to leave. Other than that very nice park with hiking trails, lots of beautiful pavilions, picnic areas, building that had food for sale, peddle boat and kayak rentals, fishing, beach area for swimming, multiple boat launches. Definitely need a bicycle to get to day use area as the loop is very long. Also, watch for no pets allowed signs as it is just the first part of the sites in Area A.
GuideLittle Mexico is a nice campground with lots of activities in the summer, situated on Penn’s Creek about 15 minutes from Lewisburg, PA. We camped there twice this summer and had enjoyable visits. The road leading to the campground is narrow and winding, but we didn’t experience any trouble. Check in was a breeze as all the paperwork and payment were taken care of prior to arrival and all we needed to do was pick up our gate pass, map and head to the site. The employees in the front office are amazing and some of the friendliest you will meet. The other employees we interacted with during our stays were equally as friendly and helpful!
Overall the sites are good sized, level and the majority have full hook-ups. The water pressure is good, electric stable, and good cable TV connections. There is no internet at the sites and only a moderate cell phone signal. Most of the transient sites are right next to each other with little barriers between. Tubs of wood can be delivered to the site and this good quality firewood! For$10 a load, stock up because it burns well with little obnoxious smoke.
There are various activities each weekend during the summer, a huge pool, playground, mini-golf, and of course Penn’s Creek to float. The only negative would be some of the seasonal sites do not feel the quiet hour times apply to them. Overall, Little Mexico is a nice campground in a beautiful location, with great people operating it!
GuideIf you are used to primitive/secluded camping this is not the campground for you. We arrived and there was a ton of trash in our site. Someone left their air fresheners, handbag tags from marshalls, and a ton of other junk. This campground is also very noisy. There are supposed to be quiet hours but people were playing loud music from their cars, from speakers, and whatever else until at least 11pm. Our site had no privacy either, we were right next to several other sites (closer than other state parks we've been to). Physical distancing and mask wearing was not enforced/required. People in the close quarters of the restroom were not wearing masks and didn't seem to mind getting within 6 feet of other people. The woman at the front office who we checked in with even took her mask off because it was fogging up her glasses. Oh, and the wood that we purchased from the camp host was wet, so the fire was a dud until a friendly neighbor gave us some of his wood.
The only positive thing about this campground was the hiking. The first day we hiked up the mountain to the west of the campground, and the second day we hiked up the Tuscarora Trail to the east of the campground. No other campers were hiking these, so we got to appreciate nature by having the trails mostly to ourselves.
GuideStayed in the modern camping section. Easy access to camp ground. The check in process was just to drive to the site and set up which was different but very easy. The sites are private on the sides with some green space to play on. Lots of extra places to park extra cars or bring a second vehicle with a boat.
The kids had fun riding the bikes around the loop and taking the short cuts cut in around the loop. We had fun walking to the foot bridge to go fishing.
The camping area was very quite both mornings and evenings. We saw the park rangers drive through multiple times per day.
The bathrooms were clean. There are no shelfs in the showers (except for a bar of soap) but they had hooks to hang your clothes.
The racoons were a fun surprise on our last night! We left the grease trap from the Blackstone out and the they found it. We did not see any bears though we heard they are there.
We had smoke from Canadian forest fires so haze in the pictures is smoke not haze or rainy days! The walking trails are great. You can see the largest white swamp oak in Pennsylvania!
Definitely check out Penns Cave too.

One day while away from our campsite, park personnel mowed mid-cafe high grass at and around our site and the mowers threw grass all over our table with a table cloth, chairs, trailer, driveway...you name it...it was covered with grass. Why the mowers didn’t direct the mowed grass AWAY from our items is beyond me. What a mess!!!
Check-in clerk at park office was disturbed we checked in with her. Told us just to go to site. Could not tell us if site was vacated. We had to ask for a park map and directions to campground/campsite since this was first time visiting

TravelerLove staying at Seven Points CG. This Corps part got a spruce up in 2022. The roads on the point loop were upgraded.
Tough to get waterfront spot during main season, but fall is beautiful here.
Chipmunks are fun to watch. Point loop is my favorite. Sites 128, 126 126a, 154 are perfect. Easy access to the lake from your site. Bath house is up at the top of the hill. Be prepared for that walk.
Get water at the dump station on the way in!!! Easier than trying to attach to the spigots on the loop.
Trough State Park nearby is a great place to hike!!
ScoutParadise stream is a beautiful campground. They go above and beyond to keep the grounds immaculate. The fire pits are even top notch. There are many activities including boating on the lake, fishing, pedal carts, shuffle board, mini golf and swimming. The staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. Planning another visit this year.
GuideOur trip to Cowan's Gap was great--and the weather was amazing as well!
The pros:
The cons:
Belleville, Pennsylvania offers diverse camping experiences within the Appalachian Mountain range at elevations ranging from 600-2,000 feet. The region features deciduous forest terrain with hemlock groves and natural springs. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-85°F with cooler nights, while spring and fall bring significant temperature variations requiring layered clothing.
Hiking trails: Greenwood Furnace State Park provides access to multiple well-maintained trails. "Very interesting history of the old furnaces. Gorgeous park - very PA-scenic!" notes Melanie Z. The park features a compass course for beginners available from the ranger station.
Water activities: Waterside Campground and RV Park provides river access for fishing and swimming. "Great setup location. Water is easy access, pool is heated," reports Michael L. Visitors appreciate the reasonable rates and basic store offerings.
Mountain biking: Seven Points connects to the extensive Allegrippis Trail system with IMBA-standard built trails. "The mtb trails begin just above the upper camp loops and provide a full day of fast flowing singletrack," shares Travis S. The trails remain open year-round regardless of weather conditions.
Historic sites: Black Moshannon State Park offers educational programming about local history and natural resources. "The park also runs a ton of classes for different things like fly fishing, hiking, etc," mentions Lisa L. A blacksmith shop at Greenwood Furnace provides demonstrations and historical context.
Private waterfront sites: Susquehannock offers primitive camping directly on Raystown Lake. "Very cool camp. Loops for RVs, higher on the hill, waterfront loops on steeper grounds for tents, and some walk-to sites adjacent to parking right at the point which double as boat-in," writes Ian W.
Well-maintained facilities: Buttonwood Campground features exceptionally clean and attractive grounds. "Clean and well kept campground located 12 mile below Lewistown, Pa. As clean a campground as you will find. Staff is super friendly," notes Gary C. The campground is divided into two distinct sections with different atmospheres.
Glamping options: Paradise Stream Family Campground offers upscale tent alternatives near Belleville. "This campground doesn't cut corners and the attention to details makes all the difference. So many great site options depending on your needs/preferences," shares Melissa. For luxury camping in Pennsylvania's central region, their well-appointed sites provide comfortable accommodations.
Dark skies for stargazing: Greenwood Furnace State Park offers minimal light pollution. "The highlights were a spacious camp site, nice bathrooms, little light pollution (we saw the Milky Way!) and hearing screech owls at night," reports Ann P. The park charges only $5 for 15-piece bundles of firewood.
Water access policies: Some campgrounds have changed their waterfront access rules. At Susquehannock, "The rules state that anyone has the right to waterfront access," according to Heather H. This means waterfront sites may not provide complete privacy as other campers can access the shore.
Reservation timing: Popular waterfront sites book extremely quickly, especially at Seven Points. "The lake front sites are beautiful and well maintained, but difficult to book," explains Megan W. For premium glamping sites near Belleville, Pennsylvania, reservations should be made months in advance.
Cell service limitations: Poe Paddy State Park offers a technology-free experience. "There is NO cell service and park rangers do 'rounds' but aren't stationed at the site," notes Joanna H. Emergency phones are available, but campers should plan to be self-sufficient.
Site characteristics: Black Moshannon State Park features unique water features. "Iron Ore mines from the past have left the creek water stained red which is why its called the Red Mo with the locals," explains Travis S. This distinctive coloration doesn't affect water safety but creates unusual scenery.
Pool access: Little Buffalo State Park Campground offers exceptional swimming facilities. "There is a large area that is only 1 foot deep, great for little ones! There is also a splash pad! There are 2 slides for fun!" shares Amanda H. Note that pool entry requires an additional fee, even for registered campers.
Activity wristbands: Buttonwood Campground offers an all-inclusive option for children. "Plan on spending $20 per person for an activity wristband that includes all the extras including mini golf and tubing shuttle," advises Bryan S. This provides access to multiple attractions including the bounce pillow and laser tag.
Low-tech engagement: Greenwood Furnace State Park encourages disconnection from technology. "Don't bring your electronics you won't need them here! No cell phone reception unless you drive a few miles down the road to a cute little store called Couch's!" recommends Amanda H. The park offers paved roads for safe bike riding.
Creek exploration: Paradise Stream Family Campground provides safe water play areas. "My kids enjoyed the beautiful Mini golf course, splashing in the creek, the pool and the pedal carts," notes Melissa. The gated entrance adds security for families with young children.
Site selection: Russell P Letterman Campground — Bald Eagle State Park offers varied site conditions. "Definitely look at pictures of your site before reserving. The distance between spots was good. Roads were a little narrow but manageable," advises Greg J. Note that not all sites have direct water hookups.
Leveling conditions: Seven Points campground offers exceptionally level sites. "One backup attempt into the site and (according to our LevelMatePRO app) it was perfectly level...that was definitely a first for us," reports Tim J. The limestone pads provide stable, flat surfaces for easy setup.
Dump station efficiency: The facilities at Seven Points feature multiple lanes for convenience. "On our way out, we visited the dump station again and got in one of the 4 lanes with no wait. The dump station had wide lanes and made the experience an easy and clean one," shares Tim J. The fresh water spigots are described as "super-solid, clean and modern."
Electric hookup limitations: Waterside locations often have limited service options. "We stayed creekside so only had electric. The dump was up on the other side so had to pull a U turn, luckily our camper was small enough to make the turn," explains Jen R. about Paradise Stream Family Campground. This requires planning for water usage during stays.
