Lake Raystown Resort

We stayed here for three nights, October 24-27. It was nearly empty and blissfully quiet. We had a waterfront site and thoroughly enjoyed it. No sewer (waterfront) but for only 3 nights it wasn’t a big deal. We ate a fabulous lunch at the marina. Great amenities…boat slips, restaurant, general store, conference center and beautiful facilities. Definitely will be returning.

Camp site was a little awkward when tent camping. We stayed in Birch so not sure about the other sites but it seemed better suited for an RV. Our site had hardly any space for a tent if you didn’t want to sleep on rocks it was nice to be near the lake but glad we had a shaded spot. The showers and restrooms were pretty clean. There was a lot of late night music which we didn’t mind but if you have smaller children it might be tough getting them to sleep. Overall it was a nice spot but seemed overpriced and overrated from what I was told was an amazing campground. We did not try the water park and the “beach” tiny and super slick from all the algae. I did enjoy it but most likely would not camp there again.

This campground offers tent sites, RV Sites, cabins and hotel accommodation. The campground is relatively flat and on the shore of Lake Raystown. The amenities are great and located centrally in each section of the park. Lots of trees which adds to the privacy of the sites. 

Some sites are waterfront, but all are close to the water. All sites have fire rings and picnic tables. WIFI is available. There is a boat hire place located on the grounds that hires pontoon boats and jet skis in season. 

The lake is beautiful and sunsets from the campground are stunning. There is a sandy beach which is perfect for swimming. Note there are minimum nightly stays over weekends during peak periods. They welcome furry friends!
