Glamping in Woodbury, Pennsylvania allows travelers to experience the Appalachian highlands at elevations ranging from 1,000-2,500 feet. Located in Bedford County near Raystown Lake, the area experiences distinct seasons with colorful fall foliage and summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F. Winter glamping options remain limited to heated units at Friendship Village Campground, where snow occasionally blankets the surrounding ridges.
What to do
Hiking trails with lake views: At Seven Points, explore the 5-mile trail around Lake Habeeb. "There is a path through much of it but that path didn't seem to go all the way to our loop. There was obviously boat noise at times but you're at the lake," notes Laure D.
Mountain biking: The Allegrippis Trail system near Seven Points offers extensive trails for riders of all skill levels. "This upper loop is also the quietest of the loops and although there were still plenty of boaters in the camp there were just as many bikers," explains Travis S., adding that "The mtb trails begin just above the upper camp loops and provide a full day of fast flowing singletrack."
Water recreation beyond swimming: Rocky Gap State Park Campground offers equipment rentals for water activities. "Nice beach area with volley ball nets. Lots of paddle boards and canoes for rent," shares Jeff H. The park's lake provides ample paddling opportunities with "Great clean campground, easy to maneuver with a big rig, level sites, clean restrooms and shower rooms," according to David L.
BMX track for kids: Families looking for land-based activities can visit Prince Gallitzin State Park. "Has a beach on the lake. Affordable boat rentals. Bmx track for kids," states Jackie W., making it an option for families who want alternatives to water activities.
What campers like
Private waterfront access: At Susquehannock, campers appreciate direct water access. "We wanted a waterfront spot, and although we booked over a month in advance none were available. We ended up with spot 3, which was on a cliff's edge," reports Jennifer R., highlighting the popularity of these premium sites.
Clean, accessible facilities: Friendship Village Campground & RV Park maintains high standards for amenities. "Sites are very spacious and the gravel pad was level upon parking. Good connections and solid cable. Facilities are well maintained and there are a ton of activities to enjoy," notes Brittany V., who also mentioned their farmers market and community yard sale.
Spacious campsites: Campers value the room between sites at many area campgrounds. At Rocky Gap, one camper described "LARGE Campsites in heavily wooded park" and was impressed by how "you're close enough to see other campers but far enough away to feel you have you own sections of woods."
Seasonal activities: Fall foliage transforms the glamping experience. "Absolutely amazing fall color on the lake and great drives surrounding. Bathrooms are clean and hot showers," Michael W. shared about Cowans Gap State Park Campground. For winter glamping near Woodbury, heated options remain limited.
What you should know
Reservation timing: For premium sites, especially waterfront locations, book months in advance. "We wanted a waterfront spot, and although we booked over a month in advance none were available," warns Jennifer R. about Susquehannock Campground.
