  Seven Points (PA)

  Beautiful Spot

  I’ve camped here twice, two years ago in a Kodiak tent and this year in my Airstream GT24. Such a lovely spot! It’s spotless, and Raystown Lake is gorgeous.

  S.B. Elliott State Park

  Old and worn out

  A dingy place. The ground was swampy the only dry places are the gravel pads in the sites. I wouldn't tent camp here.

  On the plus side, strong AT&T and T-Mobile cell signals. (I don't have a verizon device)

  Four Seasons at Raystown Lake

  It's now Timber Run Campground

  We stayed during Bigfoot weekend. It was super fun as our family likes bigfoot fun. We started out Friday night getting the offered $12 bbq plate that included pork burnt ends, beans and potato salad that were "oh it's so good". On Saturday was rock painting and then bingo and ended the night with a DJ dance party. The pavilion where all those activities happened were right next to our site (22 with the doggie den). Then Sunday we had pancakes and later a visit from RayCEP which is an education program that PA DNCR provides talking about various outdoorsy type things. This is primarily for kids, but we sat and listened too and our 17 year old helped out with the craft.

  After the weekend though, all the activity slows down. There are seasonal campers that stay around, and they're constantly working on improving and fixing up sites during the week. Expect lots of quiet time just relaxing during the week. There's the pool, dog park, bounce pillow, playground, but not tons to do which if you're looking for is great. Raystown Lake has multiple access areas that are probably 15-20 minutes away - we fished at Tautman Run and Aitch - both were accessible and had lots of bluegill to steal our worms.

  Now to the site description: Site 22 is a deluxe patio back in site with a patio, 4 nice Adirondack chairs, a double glider, a weber propane grill and built in fire pit AND a dog fence just for that site that was maybe 6 ft x 6ft. it was big enough for our 2 labs to fit into when we fed them. The site wasn't hard to level our RV but overall the sites are hilly and in fact the whole park is on a hill.

  The owners and workers were friendly and great hosts! We love what they're doing there.

  One last tip: if traveling from the Altoona area, go out through Martinsburg over Cove Mountain Rd - it saves you 30 minutes to an hour.

  Keystone State Park

  Clean Park and nice shaded sites

  This is our second time staying here - once in Electric site on Lakeside and this time non electric site on Hillside. Love this side of Hillside - quiet and shaded. Very clean park and shower house does not have the timed showers of Lakeside. Both times very much appreciated the presense of DCNR - on foot this time. Very nice park to hike, swim, walk, bike, and kayak. The little store has drinks and snacks. Because the beach was closed we had considered going to Deery Community Pool 7 miles away - another option in the area.

  The Bellefonte Campground

  Nice little park for a night

  New owners are super friendly. It's an older park they look to be putting some love and work into. Sites are sloped a bit as most are in the mountains. We were able to decently level our motorhome with blocks. Minimal noise from the highway, which was pleasantly unexpected being so close. They have some animals, like goats, as well in a little farm area. Nice new cabins too.

  Prince Gallitzin State Park Crooked Run Campground

  State parks rock

  As a rule we always try to stay in parks if possible. Really like the layout here, and the k9s love it. We couldn’t see the lake from the camper, but in the woods we could see the lake and the camper from the same spot.

  Mirror Lake RV Camping & Fishing

  You've got to go to this place!

  This place was awesome! We were there for one of the first weekends of the season, and we enjoyed every bit of our trip. Not only were the staff super friendly and helpful, but we were lucky enough to get a full-hookup site right on the lake. Quiet, peaceful, everything you want on a spring trip. We really got to witness the owners' kindness when we left for a hiking trip and a sudden windstorm caught our awning and broke one side of it, sending most of the awning itself up on the roof. The owner and his son got right to work fixing it: One got up on the roof and the other worked from the bottom to set it right and wire the broken arm to the side of the trailer so we could drive home. They also folded up our chairs and put everything we had outside in a neat little pile. I've been camping for nearly 40 years and have never witnessed that kind of pro-activeness. It's exactly what you SHOULD(but don't often) get. We will absolutely be back.

  Shawnee State Park

  Loved the park but not the site

  We loved the swimming and fishing in this park. Awesome Sandy swim beach and roped off area in the water made it great for keeping an eye on the kids while they swam. We had site 59 and are tent campers. This site was on an incline so the cots we brought were pretty miserable to sleep on. This spot was in its own little wooded cubby hole so it gave us a little more privacy but we thought that a lot of these sites were much too close together. We plan to scope out other sites to find a more level and more private option. Overall we really loved the park itself and will be back!

  Moshannon State Forest

  Generic positive title

  Great tent site with lots of room. Have your own little driveway to park your car right next to the site. Comes with a picnic table and fire pit. Need lots of rope for setting up tarps as trees are far apart. Cute little stream in the back with a log crossing. No cell service, near town with free wifi. No toilets or garbage. Good amount of traffic coming down the road but isn't an issue at night time.

  Point Campground

  5 star bathrooms and well maintained sites

  The campsites are beautiful, even though there were a lot of people when we went we felt like we had a lot of privacy from our neighbors. We stayed in the ridge loop, so not waterfront but within the campground there were so many things to do (huge mountain biking scene). The whole grounds were very well maintained, and the bathrooms and showers were some of the nicest I’ve seen at a campground. Highly recommend!

  Shawnee State Park

  Met our Needs Perfectly

  Booked for 5 nights to have an opportunity to explore the Bedford, PA area. Great access to Flight 93 Memorial, local covered bridges, Fort Bedford Historic Fort, and many other attractions. Loop D was quiet with ample space between sites that provided privacy. Bathhouse was clean and used for showers. Dump and water fill station easy to access on your way in or out. Verizon signal good enough for streaming.

  Woodland Campground

  Loved it

  We stayed on a primitive site in our van, it was only for one night but we wished we'd booked more, the facilities are great and everyone is friendly. It feels homey, would definitely come back if I have the chance 🥰

  Black Moshannon State Park

  Beautiful and well appointed park

  Getting to the park had some sharp turns and windy roads.  Small campground but nicely equipped.  2 bath houses were dated but clean.  Nice playground at the campground and also one at the beach.  Small camp concessions with a few camping items as well as ice cream cones.  Great hiking and a beautiful lake for kayaking.  Site 22 is a full hookup.  Utilities worked nicely.  However, our picnic table had seen better days.  The site sat down off the road but once you were backed in the spot it was pretty level.  This site also had a separate tent pad located down a few stone steps.  Verizon and AT&T cell service were basically non existent.  Every once in a while a text would come in or send but very spotty.  Sorry I failed to get a pic of the site in the daylight.  It was spacious and we had plenty of room for our 30' trailer, truck, and easy up over the table.  6+ chairs around the fire pit, cooking ring could have been better.  Grassy area for cornhole or playing.

  Clearview Campground

  Great quiet spot

  We needed a place to spend the night with our 30 ft RV. Dale met us there and was very hospitable and directed us to the perfect site. He even brought us firewood. Even though there were quite a few other campers there it was very quiet and peaceful. If you’re in the area be sure to stop in. If you’re lucky you might even hear nuts falling on your roof dropped by the squirrels!

  Silver Canoe Campground

  Beautiful tent spot

  My 9 year old and myself got a tent site with electric for two nights and had a great time. The sites were all level and were well-shaded. The pool area and bath house were clean and maintained. The camp store was a great asset for small items left behind, plus prices were great for ice and firewood. We will be back!

  Quiet and peaceful

  Beautiful campground. All wooded sites with shade all day long. Quite/peaceful setting. Great for sitting and listening to nature. Good hookups. Very rough road to get to campground. 15 minutes from 8000acre Raystown lake. Good for canoes/kayaks from Aitch boat ramp.

  Pat's Primitive Place

  A Relaxing and Pristine Weekend Getaway

  Staying at Pat’s Place was a great experience! The campsite was exactly what we were looking for. It was off the grid but not too remote. We had easy access to things around us but a quick walk along a path brought us to a beautiful spot by the creek. We set up camp right along the creek, as shown in our pictures. There was a mixture of rocks and sand, so we had our tent on the dirt area and the fire pit near the rocks. Right around the corner from our site was a great spot along the river for sitting out in the sun and fishing for trout. 

  Pat was very helpful throughout our trip. He came down to meet us when we first arrived and was very friendly and had firewood available for us. He ensured that the pathway to the site was well-cleared before we arrived so it was easy to bring our things from the car, which only ended up being about a five-minute walk to the site. 

  We would highly recommend staying at Pat’s Place. It was a relaxing and pristine location and made for a great weekend getaway, especially for such a reasonable price! 

  A couple of pointers:

  - Before arriving, we ate at Original Italian Pizza about 10 minutes away. They had great subs and we would highly recommend them!

  - There is also a large Walmart about 7 minutes away for any camping needs.

  - We had great phone service at the site and nearby (Verizon). There is no electric, water, or a bathroom but that wasn't an issue for us!

  Pioneer Parks

  This place was not for us

  Preface: if your main objective is activities for children, you have come to the right place. This place is loud and full of kids.

  We booked a site but chose not to pay to select which one. All the pictures looked great! We ended up on a grassy hill in the back. The spot was so unlevel there were 19 inches between my bottom step and the ground. This site was the same price as level ones closer to activities.

  Also bathrooms were outdated. They had older residential toilets that plugged constantly. The day we left 2 of the 3 in our nearest bathroom were out of order.

  Aside from all the above, the Dog Park is awesome. It’s the size of a real, normal dog park. The ice cream on site is also a nice perk.

  Lake Raystown Family Camping Resort

  Excellent service, clean and very Helpful.

  We called to make the reservation and told them we would be pulling in around 7 pm. Danielle (one of the owners) stated no problem, I will be here. On arrival we noticed the hours were till 5 pm and we apologized. Danielle stated, no problem, glad we could help and that they were also waiting for one more person. She took us to our site and asked if there was anything more she could do. Five minutes later her husband Terri arrived and was very helpful. Very clean and friendly. The campground just opened for the season 2 weeks ago. Our site is not level but Terri had made ramps so that the front end would come up. Thank you.

  Seven Points (PA)

  Favorite PA campground — the view !!!

  Love 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!!

  Black Moshannon State Park

  Beautiful campground

  This entire park is beautiful! There are plenty of well-maintained, well-marked trails for all experience levels. The lake is lovely with a very nice swimming beach (although I imagine that the water is cold even in the summer). The campground is wonderful! The sites are large and relatively private. The showers in the bath house are clean and nice. There wasn't much in the camp store when we were there, but it was the end of the season. Note: there is NO Internet or cell service there, but the locations where you can get cell service are posted. There is also no firewood available in the camp, but nearby locations where you can buy it are posted.
