LegendLake Raystown Resort and Lodge
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.

TravelerKeystone State Park Campground
Decent place
Stayed the weekend for the first time and it wasn’t bad! There were kids playing at sites nearby but that was all the noise, highway noise at all! I like how they have a spot for your tent with a picnic table and fire ring. I was in my rooftop tent on my truck so I wish the parking spot went back a little deeper for a little more privacy. But it was nice that there was bathrooms and showers within a 1 minute walk from the site! Also it says on here there is no AT&T signal, that’s not true…it’s not great but there is a bar or 2 at times!

Keystone State Park Campground
Classic campground in the woods of Pennsylvania
This campground's foliage is interesting, I saw fernes growing and trees that looked older than me. I also noticed the campground has some history shown by the rust of the firepits. There is Billy's Pizza and general store which sells firewood if you go a little further down the road that maps takes you and take the second left instead of taking the first left. I think the campground also sells firewood on site. You can order Billy's Pizza and I saw them deliver to the campsites, which is amazing, havent seen that before. I'm a light sleeper and could hear truck engine braking sounds echo through the forest from the nearby highway, so the proximity to the road ruins the feeling of seclusion and the quiet. There's a restroom with a large sink outside which is nice.

Kalyumet Campground
Excellent place to stay!
Clean campground, water, electric. Saw a turkey upon arrival and a deer and multiple black squirrels when departing. Nice little store with arcade, snacks and pizza they will deliver to your site on Fridays! Heated pool and pretty nice bathrooms

Keystone State Park Campground
A beautiful spot to start our sons camping adventures!!
My wife has been going to keystone all her life, I’ve only gone since she and I started dating. I’ve been all over the world hiking and camping, but keystone is nostalgic for her. And it’s a great place for our one year old to cut his teeth in the great outdoors!! He loves going and love camping!! He loves to be outside more than anything!! Gentle trails and a smooth lake, a great place for a quick weekend from the city
Graham S.TravelerBlack Moshannon State Park Campground
Great campground at a beautiful park
Ive camped at Black Moshannon State Park many times both in a tent and our camper. The Park has tent only, electric and full hookup sites. It is well cared for and clean. The bathhouses are nice and well maintained. The Park itself offers a lot to do with fishing. Hiking, the beach, kayak rentals, etc. I've never had a bad time at Black Moshannon and will keep coming back.
Guide to Glen Campbell
Camping opportunities near Glen Campbell, Pennsylvania exist across diverse terrain ranging from mountain forests to lakeside settings within the Allegheny Plateau region. Sites typically sit at elevations between 1,200-2,000 feet, experiencing moderate seasonal temperature fluctuations. Winter camping options remain limited with most campgrounds closing by mid-December and reopening in April.
What to do
Lake activities at Raystown Lake: Seven Points Campground offers extensive water recreation on its 8,300-acre lake. "The lake is so clean and refreshing and we have such beautiful views from our camp site. We went down to the swim beach and our kiddo made sand castles and swam in the clear water," shares Jennifer D. The area includes boat rentals and fishing opportunities.
Mountain biking trails: Seven Points connects directly to the Allegrippis Trail system. "Ridge camp is the furthest away from the marina and the public swimming area. However it's the closest to the Allegrippis Trail system and from the entrance of the camp loop there is a trail head!" notes Travis S. These IMBA-standard trails stay open year-round regardless of weather conditions.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple lakes provide fishing options beyond the main attractions. At Yellow Creek State Park, "Good trails, kayak rentals, and a private beach for the campgrounds make it a nice vacation spot," according to A.R. R. The fishing varies by location, with one camper noting "Too bad the fishing isn't the best at yellow creek national park."
What campers like
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained amenities at Clear Creek State Park. "Lovely park and campground on the Clarion River. Was impressed by the quiet campers. Folks were very friendly, but nighttime was silent," reports Sara. The park maintains regular cleaning schedules for bathhouses and common areas.
Private campsites: Many locations offer secluded options. At Silver Canoe Campground, "The sites were all level and were well-shaded. The pool area and bath house were clean and maintained," reports Rae H. Sites typically include standard fire rings and picnic tables.
Yurt camping: For those seeking yurt camping near Glen Campbell, Pennsylvania, several parks provide these structures as alternatives to traditional tent camping. One visitor to Yellow Creek State Park shared, "We stayed in one of the yurts, and I was perfect for the group of 6 I went with. It dumped rain the first night we were there and the yurt kept us perfectly comfortable and dry."
What you should know
Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds in the region operate from April through October with limited winter availability. At Black Moshannon State Park, camping runs "2nd Friday April to December 15," making it one of the later-closing options. Fall weekends fill quickly due to leaf-viewing popularity.
Site leveling requirements: Many campgrounds feature hilly terrain requiring leveling equipment. One camper at Clear Creek State Park noted, "Its a nice place, great creek and woods. Most of the spots will require leveling blocks." Waterfront sites often have the most significant grade changes.
Limited cellular service: Coverage varies significantly throughout the region. While some areas maintain adequate signals, more remote locations experience interruptions. A visitor to Clear Creek State Park mentioned, "None of the major carriers have service here, but I needed to 'get away' for the night so it was perfect."
