"This campground is located on the east side of Pennsylvania and offers a beautiful view of Lake Raystown. The campground has over 200 sites to choose from, and many of them are right on the water," noted one visitor. Cell service can be limited in more remote camping areas, particularly at Greenwood Furnace State Park where little to no signal is available. Elevation changes affect temperatures across the region, with campgrounds in mountainous terrain often experiencing cooler conditions than surrounding areas, especially at night.
Campers consistently rate waterfront sites at Seven Points and Lake Raystown Resort among the most desirable in the area, with many mentioning the proximity to swimming, fishing, and boating opportunities. The extensive trail systems near several campgrounds represent another significant draw, with one reviewer highlighting the "50 miles of single track mountain biking" available near Raystown Lake. Sites throughout the region vary considerably in privacy and spacing, with some campers noting the more secluded tent sites tucked into wooded areas provide greater solitude. Bathroom facilities and amenities differ substantially between locations, with state park campgrounds generally offering more consistent maintenance and cleanliness according to visitor reports. For those seeking primitive experiences, several areas provide more remote options with fewer amenities but greater natural immersion.

ScoutWow, the weekends were fun. They were quite a bit of people there and my kids had a good time. The weekdays were different story we were told we had to be quiet. We had a lot of craziness go on
ScoutFriendly staff, well shaded, good size site 23 with easy in and paver patio and sturdy furniture
GuideMore of a rustic trailer park than a campground with some long term residents. Owners were nice. "Bathhouse" has flush toilets but wasn't very clean. We don't fish but if you do this might be a place for you.
ScoutWe stayed at site #146 in Hosack Run. The campground itself is a small, pet friendly loop and has very nice bathrooms/showers that were very clean and appeared fairly brand new. There is a very small playground in the loop (just swings and seesaws) and Caledonia State Park itself has lots of nice hiking and history. It sits about 20 minutes outside of Gettysburg National Battlefield. The campsite itself (#146) was pretty abysmal. It is extremely small and looks like it was once the parking lot for the restrooms. You can still see the remnants of the painted yellow parking lines on the asphalt. Our small, 12 foot pop-up barely fit with just enough room for our tow vehicle. Also, your neighbor (site #144) sits right on top of you. Lastly, we stayed during a rainy Memorial Day weekend and learned that our former parking space of a campsite sits inside of a bowl in which all other campsites drains into creating a small lake around our firepit. The one plus side was that it is extremely close to the facilities. There are lots of other nice camp sites in this loop, but this was not one of them. I would choose this site again if I was extremely desperate to camp here and no other sites were available. 5 stars for the park, trails, and locale. 1 star for the campsite.
RangerGreat park, alittle close together than I like. I wish I had picked 1-12 sites by the creek, but I don’t think I had much choice when I booked anyway. Bathrooms were clean. My site was more of an rv and I felt like I was at the neighbors for supper.
RangerBeautiful park, pool and lake. Great for boating and fishing, running or hiking and swimming. In may, it wasn’t busy, but I can imagine it gets packed. I will be back for summer.
RangerPool, campgrounds area is so great. Don’t forget the bbq place up the street, it is so good! Getting the the bathrooms from my site will be more of a challenge once the campground fills up. Showers were a tad colder than I like but once the summer comes I would t mind it, I guess?
Finished some of the App trail from there
TravelerWell kept, clean facilities, easy to work with camp staff, we stayed at site 51 a full hook up site mostly level with a gravel pad short walk to the restrooms
RangerProbably my favorite due to the Store, the store employee and the App Trails. Will be back. My site was next to the amp trail which I didn’t particularly like, but my site was beautiful. WiFi available at Camp Store
