Raystown Lake Resort and Four Seasons at Raystown Lake Camping Resort maintain well-appointed sites welcoming pets throughout their grounds. Both campgrounds feature full hookup options with electric, water, and sewer connections on pet-friendly sites. Four Seasons particularly stands out with immaculately clean bathroom facilities and a consistently well-maintained pool area noted by multiple campers. Most sites require pets to be leashed at all times with typical restrictions limiting pets to 2-3 per site. Pat's Primitive Place offers a more basic camping experience for pet owners, with tent and RV sites that allow dogs in a natural setting along a creek. The bathrooms at Raystown Lake/Saxton KOA received significant upgrades recently with three of four facilities completely remodeled.
Dog-friendly trails surround many Woodbury area campgrounds, with Raystown Lake providing numerous access points approximately 15-20 minutes from Four Seasons campground. Fishing opportunities abound for campers and their pets at locations like Tautman Run and Aitch, where bluegill are plentiful. Pat's Primitive Place features easy creek access for dogs who enjoy water, with a mixture of rocky and sandy terrain suitable for setting up camp alongside pets. A Walmart is located about 7 minutes from Pat's Place for pet supply needs. Campers should note that while cell service is generally good in the area, some primitive sites lack utilities. Sites at Blue Knob State Park Campground, situated on Pennsylvania's second-highest mountain, can be chillier than surrounding areas due to elevation, an important consideration when camping with pets.
"Both RV sites and lots to rent to pitch your own tent, fishing, huge lake with beach, lots of activities for the kids throughout the summer, one of the nicest parks we have camped at!"
"Fantastic lake side camping resort. Best for campers or using their cabins but it has freeway access to the lake and beautiful views."
"Shawnee State Park is a very large campground (319 campsites with mixed electric and non-electric, some pet friendly, some not) about 10 minutes off highway 76 and 20 minutes from the Flight 93 National"
"The morning drive started early, had several stops and starts, and I was once again glad that my big dog was along for the ride."

Check Availability"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."
"Nice small park with gravel drives/roads and plenty of room for big rigs. All sites level with partial shade. Open, but with plently of space between sites. The trails are nice and very sceinic."

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

GuideOne of the best campgrounds I have stayed at so far the pond is nice and has a 1/2 mile walking path around it with trees and beaches to stop and sit dog park is big and has a place for small or large dogs there is 3 play grounds all different and all well kept
GuideThis campground checks all our boxes. Beautiful scenery, quiet location, spacious campsites, full RV hookups, well-placed fire rings, dog park, nice large bathhouses, polite staff, and Wi-Fi that works.
This is located about an hour away from my home, so we plan on making this our go-to for quick camping getaways throughout the year.
Highly recommended. Definitely worth checking out.
GuidePreface: if your main objective is activities for children, you have come to the right place. This place is loud and full of kids.
We booked a site but chose not to pay to select which one. All the pictures looked great! We ended up on a grassy hill in the back. The spot was so unlevel there were 19 inches between my bottom step and the ground. This site was the same price as level ones closer to activities.
Also bathrooms were outdated. They had older residential toilets that plugged constantly. The day we left 2 of the 3 in our nearest bathroom were out of order.
Aside from all the above, the Dog Park is awesome. It’s the size of a real, normal dog park. The ice cream on site is also a nice perk.
RangerThis may be the first campground I give a 10 out of 10! All the amenities your could want, it's clean, sites are leveled, it's maintained beautifully, there are cows in the distance, fully stocked store, friendly staff. Laundry, bathrooms, fairly spacious sites, a pool, dog park. Very, very nice.
RangerThis is a small campground with about half the sites being rustic electric back-in sites and the other being rustic walk-to tent sites. We stayed in the walk-to section. A lot of them are labeled "waterfront" by the park site but ours did not live up to that criteria so be aware of that. We were hoping to be truly stream-side but were not that near to it. The bathrooms were modern and clean. The park is extremely quiet and peaceful, probably one of the most remote PA state parks we've been to. The camper side was pretty full while we were the only ones on the walk-to side. We enjoyed walking the roads and little trails around the campground and seeing the old stone fireplaces/chimneys. There was a dog park area on the walk-to side which was nice. We liked it here.
TravelerI was the only tenter at the time of my stay; had the whole place to myself. The sites are spread far apart and wooded. Table and fire rings are at each site. They have a brand new bath house which was spotless and a well kept dog park for the furs. If desired, there is a group campsite and the use of a pavilion too. The camp store if beautiful and has everything in it should you forget something. I’ll definitely be back.
GuideWe chose this campground for its proximity to home with the chance to swim in the lake.
The camping did not disappoint. We always try to book “outside” loop sites so we don’t have “back neighbors” but none near the lake were available, so we took our chances on an “inside” site in E loop. It was great, smallish, but plenty of vegetation to make it feel private. (Some poison ivy around the edges, though.) The pull-in sites in general seem a bit small (space for our two 4-person tents and that’s it), but are well shaded and separated from neighbors by small patches of woods or bushes. The pull-through sites in our loop were more exposed to the road, but had a bit more space.
There was some noise from the interstate. There were surprisingly few mosquitoes. The bathhouse was clean, but showers were not very warm.
The swimming was unfortunately disappointing. The roped-off swimming area was 3 feet deep at the most. Warm water in August, nice for kids to splash around, but not really good for actual swimming. Bonus for dog people: pets allowed on the beach and in the lake.
During COVID-19, the bathrooms/bathhouses at the beach area are closed; porta-johns only.
We rented paddle boards and a canoe one afternoon and paddled around to one of the lake inlets, which was actually deep and had a good swim. But this is technically not allowed.
If you feel okay about rule-breaking and have water-safe family members (and no pets), I would absolutely choose a site in I loop close to the lake. The sites in E loop closest to the lake are actually up a fairly steep hill from the lake path.
Hiking trails were nice. My kids especially liked the rock scramble-ish up and down the stream gorge on Evitt’s Mountain trail.
GuideStayed 3 nights because I wanted to be centrally located to the he Flight 93 Memorial and Falling Water (about 30 miles to each). The non pet section is heavily wooded and very shady. The pet section is more of a loop set up with some trees. The no pet section had no, zero, zilch cell service so my stay was super quiet. Site 173 was easy to back into and had a large picnic area with a fire ring next to the brook. There is a lake with a small beach and a boat launch and numerous hiking trails. The park will s very nice pretty and during the week fairly empty. I would recommend
RangerThere are two main loops in this campground. One that is pet friendly and more of a pitch-your-tent-in-the-yard thing and another that is pet-free and wooded. We didn't realize and stayed in the first one. Dogs were barking at all hours and there's no privacy. We drove through the other one and it looks so much nicer. Campsites more spread out with trees in between and way quieter. Will definitely stay there if we return.
Pet friendly camping near Woodbury, Pennsylvania offers varied terrains on Pennsylvania's second-highest mountain region at elevations reaching 2,900 feet. Campgrounds in this area experience temperature drops of 5-10 degrees compared to surrounding lowlands, which affects camping conditions year-round. Sites range from full-service resorts to primitive creek-side camping with several accommodating pets throughout their facilities.
Mountain biking at Raystown Lake: Extensive trail networks connect to Seven Points Campground, with the Allegrippis Trail system offering IMBA standard built trails. "The mtb trails begin just above the upper camp loops and provide a full day of fast flowing singletrack," notes Travis S., who adds these trails are "open year round and in any weather."
Lake swimming with pets: Multiple swimming areas around Raystown Lake welcome leashed pets near shorelines. "The lake is clean and refreshing and we have such beautiful views from our camp site," reports Jennifer D. from Seven Points, who enjoyed "the swim beach and our kiddo made sand castles and swam in the clear water."
Visiting historic sites: Plan a day trip from Shawnee State Park Campground to nearby landmarks. "If you stay here, make sure to travel down the road to see the Flight 93 Memorial," recommends Rachel L., who found the park "huge and very well maintained."
Clean bathroom facilities: Recent renovations at Raystown Lake / Saxton KOA at Four Seasons have improved comfort. Chuck M. notes, "It looks like they have recently remodeled the bathrooms/showers (3 of the 4 look brand new), and the pool has been crystal clear."
Waterfront camping access: Direct lake access sites allow boat tie-ups at your campsite. According to Ian W., Susquehannock has "some site right on the water, can walk right into the lake. Beautiful scenery, be prepared to be woken by bass boats and subsequent wake at sunrise."
Level, accessible sites: Some campgrounds feature newly graded sites. "The site we were assigned was easily accessed and had a nice view of the campground," shares Gerard from Shawnee State Park, though he cautions that "many of the sites had very awkward back-in approaches that did not provide sufficient area to maneuver a large rig into them."
Temperature variations: Blue Knob State Park Campground sits on Pennsylvania's second-highest peak, creating cooler conditions. Laura notes in her review, "It was chillier than surrounding areas due to being on the mountain," important when planning for pets' comfort.
Cell service inconsistency: Coverage varies significantly between campgrounds. Olivia L. advises to "be prepared for extremely limited cell service (Verizon)" at Blue Knob State Park, while other areas maintain stronger signals.
Varying pet restrictions: Though most campgrounds allow pets, specific loops may have restrictions. At Shawnee State Park, "Select loops allow pets but not all do," according to Lee D., so verify pet-friendly areas before booking.
