  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.

  Black Moshannon State Park Campground

  Beautiful spot

  In the middle of the woods vibe. The sites had good privacy and it was just a pretty area. Neighbors were respectful and relatively quiet.. There was zero cell service at this campground. Bathrooms were clean.

  Terrible, Run Down, Abandoned And Un Secure! GATE WAS BROKEN

  Any worker over the age of 20 was super rude and they did NOT Re-Book Our Reservation For Next Year The Website sates that it is now being managed by a company called Oasis Marianas. There Are Signs Falling Apart And They Pool Was Water Orange! The Arcade was completely broken the showers were tiny and the entire place is in disrepair. The Gate was taken off the Opener And thrown into the weeds DISAPPOINTING And This Place was NOT CHEAP And Was Super RunDown.

  Clear Creek State Park Campground

  Camping right on the River with nice trails.

  First time staying at Clear Creek State Park and had a spot just below where the Creek empties into the River.  We were able to turn the RV so the door/awning faced the River.  We saw a two different Merganser mamas with young, a green heron fishing, and a bald eagle go up the River.  We were right across from the showerhouse but noise was minimal.  Our dog had the riverbank to explore on her camp leash of course.  Hiking above the campground was very nice and we did an easy loop of almost 6 miles.  Mountain Laurels were in bloom.  Very clean park.  Showerhouse was well-kept.  Bringing the kayaks next time.

  Crooked Run Campground — Prince Gallitzin State Park

  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.

  Run fast! Unless you like sleeping by sewage and shady management

  First off when calling to make sure we could put a tent on our rv site they told us they would have to charge us for a rustic site for the weekend$99 for 3 nights. So on-top of the$249 we had to pay$99 more for a tent on the same site. Ok so we paid it. i asked A few people& they said they did not have to pay extra! not cool! Woke up on the first morning here&there was a flow of water coming from the ground. It had a bad smell to it& it was heading toward our site area. We had the ground manager come over&he told us"it was not sewage but it did smell bad". He did come back and offer us 2 sites(rem we had to pay for a rustic camp site for our tent) up closer to the playgrounds. This area was literally 20 feet from the pavilion, the giant campfire, bathrooms, volleyball court&playground&our neighbors would literally be in the back of our picnic table. NO space!!! So we choose to stay in our current spot. They did offer$25 off a day. later that day the water was getting worse, it is gray in color! This is not just ground water! Its some kind of water runoff from sewage somewhere. we stopped a staff member& he came over and told us they knew about this They dug it up& just filled it back in. Seriously!? Oh its site 75 STAY AWAY! So we sent that staffer to get the manager about 530(mind you he was supposed to stop by at 300 also). Anyways the mgr never came over. We just went to wash dishes& there the mgr& staffer were playing corn hole& drinking!! We have heard from multiple campers here that this place changed ownership in 2021&they said it has gone down hill! They said just this year the prices have about doubled for permanent rental sites& alot of people are moving out at the end of this season! This should be a huge sign to people coming here the"regulars" are leaving Day 2 I went to the rest room at 3am& the toilet would not flush& i couldnt wash my hands, no notes in the bathroom about water issues. Woke up this morning& was i formed that the sewage was worse& came closer to my tent. I popped out of the tent& it is flowing closer but there is still a few feet before it hits us. Also found out that my friends husband went up to the bathhouse this morning to use the facilities still no water. He walked out& found the manager in a room turning back on the water. He said"i came in today& heard the water was off". He then went back into the restroom&there was water. then went back outside& looked at the door mgr was in was& it was a locked door. only way water was off is if you or your staff turned it off buddy! Our neighbors by us told us that they were given notice to conserve water. Conserving water&taking water away from us(turning it off and locking the door) are too totally different things! My friend called the office and spoke to his wife& she got irate w/ him. Shortly after The mgr came flying over yelling at us to leave(so disclaimer my friends husband did make the decision to stay because he did not want to move his pop up&the new sites were ridiculously small, but he also couldn't just bite his tongue) The mgr& my friends husband got into a very loud verbal match which ended up with us getting 3 hours to leave the campground with no refund at all now. My friend stepped in& tried to reason with the mgr& he said"you guys did nothing, you have been very understanding but he has not". So i get why we were kicked out. it sucks because of 1 bad egg all of our weekends were ruined! Over all yes my friends husband got us kicked out, the fact still remains these owners are shady& unfair! They knew the whole time there was a septic issue& still rented us the site. Not to mention their ridiculous rules which so many other campers broke with multiple cars on the sites& we were made to buy a whole site for the weekend just to pop up a tent on one site(i would have parked at the entrance thats fine!) also, why are there so many photos on FB of the manager and his dad winning 1st n 2nd place with$$ for games? That should be for paying campers. I have showed you inside the shadiness of these people.camp at your own risk! This IS NOT MY FIRST rodeo camping! Ive been to MANY private campgrounds and state parks in my 45 years of life! The rules n regs here are ridiculous. Side note when you call a campground a month before labor day and they still have open rv sites… HERES YOUR SIGN! Will totally remember that for the rest of my life! We made a very bad decision coming here. I hope i can save you your time money and health coming here too

  Black Moshannon State Park Campground

  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.

  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!

  Russell P Letterman Campground — Bald Eagle State Park

  Nice overnight stop

  This is a big park. We just reserved one night as as an overnight stop after a 10 hr day of driving. We travel with a dog so our only choice for an electric site was on the Sycamore loop. The Oak loop does not allow pets. Sites we nicely laid out with level gravel and a fire ring. Looks like there lots to do around the park, especially for families.

  Rvino - Campers Paradise

  Favorite private campground!

  This campground is by far my favorite private campground. If you have been to this campground greater than 2 years ago, it is time to check it out again. About 2021, the campground changed ownership, and a new general manager and maintenance manager were hired. They have put a lot of effort into fixing up the campground and making it more accessible. New for summer 2023 is a newly redone swimming pool. The summer maintenance crew is fantastic and puts a lot of effort into keeping the campground safe. On one trip I alerted them to a light that was out by the bath house, and it was fixed before nightfall. This campground is just far enough away from home that it feels worlds away while still being convenient for forgotten items. This is where I like to spend my first season trip to make sure that my camper is stocked and ready to go for the season.

  Russell P Letterman Campground — Bald Eagle State Park

  Relaxing week great sites

  Stayed 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.

  Sinnemahoning State Park Campground

  Small, Quiet and Beautiful

  This a small campground, around 33 sites. The pads are all gravel except for the handicapped pad, which is paved. This campground is alcohol free and upon checking on you are asked if you have any alcohol. The sites are fairly spaced apart and many are shaded by large pine trees.

  The park visitor's center has many participatory A/V camping and wildlife exhibits. The law enforcement/ranger was exceptionally helpful and friendly and he provided me with the locations of current elk sightings.

  I had no verizon cell service in the park.

  Black Moshannon State Park Campground

  No cell, no problem!

  General: 73-site campground; most have electric hookups, and some are FHU. Pets are only permitted at selected sites. There are also 20 (13 rustic and 6 modern) cabins. Cell service is extremely limited to non-existent (Verizon). 

  Site Quality: Pads are gravel and most appeared to be level. Site 70 was at the end of the loop which is why we picked it. A picnic table, fire ring, and lantern hook complete each site. 

  Bathhouse: As has been our experience in all PA state parks, the bathhouse was pristine, and the shower (for no additional cost) was clean with plentiful hot water and was very much appreciated. 

  Activities/Amenities: Coin-operated laundry. A playground is in the campground and there is an additional one at the swimming beach. The swimming beach is open from mid-May to mid-September, from 8 am– sunset. Electric motorboats are permitted on Moshannon Lake. Boat rentals are available in season. Permits are required. 24 miles of hiking trails, including two trails directly from the campground to the lake. In the summer, there is a camper store/concession stand. Hunting is allowed in season. There are 4.3 miles of mountain biking trails. 

  I used to think Oregon State Parks were the best, but Pennsylvania State Parks have them beat by a mile. We have yet to be disappointed by the amenities(especially the clean bathrooms) offered at the half-dozen state parks we have visited so far.

  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!!

  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.

  Woods and mushrooms

  This was a comfortable one night stay for us. The walk from our site to the lake revealed a larg variety of mushrooms. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a place interesting. All else was comfortable. Some how though we never saw the actual name of the campground. Enter Crooked Run campground or you may end up on the wrong side of the park like we did.

  Nice campground

  So this is a nice weekend lace to camp. Clean bathrooms and hot showers but if you like to pay a different price each time you get there, then have fun. I had 3 different prices when I went there last. Was going to make this a home camp but since they played the different price game I will look elsewhere!

  Campground is perfect, clientele often ruins it

  Such a scenic and beautiful place to camp and the campground is set up perfectly. On that note, the clientele just ruins it. If hearing adjacent sites having hootenannies, getting loaded, blasting out country music, and screaming all night is your thing, this is your place. Tried to call rangers but only got a message machine. The clientele sucks so much

  Clear Creek State Park Campground

  Beautiful Park on the Water

  This is a relatively small campground on the river. Many sites are shaded and the park and restrooms are very clean. Firewood is available at the campground. Hosts were very friendly. The one downfall is that the sites are fairly close which is quite noticable when louder young kids are nearby. If the sites were further apart this would be less of an issue. But overall great place. We spent alot of time hiking - nice hike to Beartown Rocks.

  Trough Creek State Park Campground

  Roughing it with the kids!

  Loved this campground. We wanted to be close to Raystown Lake. Trough is quiet and small. It's really great if you're looking for a spot to "rough" it (not really, but closer than most!) with the kids. Awesome sites. Lots of nature. Bathroom would be the reason for four stars. Spiders greet you at the entrance, and because the campground is smaller and kind of out there, the bathroom isn't super new/clean like others. That said, it's close to Raystown so you can boat, but it's a great retreat to come back to and light a fire with the kids.

  Beautiful, wooded location - BUT

  The sites are mostly well kept, but only electric at site. There are many loops and some WC's do no have showers, so be careful making your res. Sites by the water are closer together than most on the ridges. Water is available at the side of the road, but some of the fixtures are broken. The restaurant is closed.
