Lake Raystown Resort's pet-friendly accommodations include RV sites, tent areas, cabins, yurts, and glamping options with dedicated facilities for dogs. The waterfront campground maintains clean grounds with accessible picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Pets must remain leashed throughout the property, though the spacious waterfront sites provide ample room for dogs to enjoy the outdoors without bothering neighbors. Campers particularly appreciate the resort's dog-friendly policies when renting pontoon boats from the marina for day trips on the lake. Seven Points Campground and Trough Creek State Park also welcome pets with designated pet-friendly areas, though specific rules vary by location.
Hiking trails around Raystown Lake provide excellent exercise opportunities for dogs, with many campers noting the beautiful lakeside paths accessible directly from campgrounds. Trough Creek State Park offers scenic pet-friendly hiking routes with interesting features like the leaning rock trail where dogs can explore alongside their owners. When camping with pets during summer months, the lake provides welcome cooling opportunities, though the beach areas have specific pet regulations. Most campgrounds require vaccination records and enforce quiet hours to prevent excessive barking. Several campgrounds, including Four Seasons at Raystown Lake (now Timber Run Campground), feature designated pet exercise areas and convenient waste disposal stations throughout the property.

3. Susquehannock
"We camped at Suquehannock for the first time in August 2020 and had a fantastic time with our dog!"

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.

Quiet & Dog friendly - 20minutes from Gettysburg Battfields
This pet friendly campground in Caledonia State Park is .8 miles from the larger Chinquapin campground (no pets), ranger station and swimming pool. Our site #171 was level, paved, full hook ups and next to modern clean bathrooms with flush toilets, warm showers and outside dish washing sinks. Many available sites with and without services on a Sunday in October. There were a good number of friendly, tidy, long term campers with large wall tents. (They allow 21 day stays after Labor Day)

Great primitive camping
Beautiful area. Very primitive, which is great. Roads were fairly decent to the campsite. Didn't stay near the water and no mountain view but still nice. Had a nice trail into the woods.
Jill S.ScoutFifteen Mile Campground — Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park
Safe, clean, and beautiful!
The campground is a nice size with enough space between sites to feel as though you have some privacy.
We reserved site 4 online but someone had set up there when we arrived. Site 6 was open and it had a better view anyway and was farther away from the toilets, so we didn’t mind.
The boat launch is right there which we planned to paddle board in the morning, but got rained out. The river looks really nice and clean though.
Tables and fire pits are a great size. We saw some gorgeous stars as there isn’t any light pollution.
It’s only half hour from Berkeley Springs, so fill up your spring water for free there and then come enjoy the campsite!
Will definitely return.

Green Ridge State Forest
Secluded Site
This was my second time staying at Greenridge in my twenty foot Dodge Ram RV van. This was a convenient first stop on my trip to Yellowstone NP. I arrived mid afternoon on a Saturday in August and there were plenty of sites available.
The sites are spaced apart and while I could see other sites were occupied as I drove to mine, I did not see or hear other people the entire length of my stay.
The dirt road leading to the site was well maintained and in good shape despite recent heavy rain.
The site was just few miles from the highway, making it easy for me to continue my journey the next morning.

Quiet campground with private sites
This quiet campground has plenty of wooded campsites that offer privacy to campers. We were in the electric loop and it can be a bit tight if your rig is larger, and also you need to be prepared to level your rig in several different directions. But all in all, it was a great spot for an overnight day and we even got to check out some of the trails. Very nice park overall.

Colonels creekside campground
Quite and Peaceful
We absolutely loved it. The camp spaces were a nice and spread out lot not congested actually it was really nobody here which I can’t believe because the place is absolutely beautiful. There is a little bit of noise from route 30 during the day, but you don’t hear really anything at night Plus there is a really great bar/restaurant about 100 yards away. Called Yionnis and their food is actually delicious.
