From the official listing
Overview Seven Points Campground offers a comfortable, convenient camping experience in the heart of the Seven Points recreation area at Raystown Lake. With more than 260 campsites spread across six camping loops , Seven Points accommodates tents, RVs, and trailers and offers a variety of camping experiences for families, groups, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Most campsites feature electric hookups, and every site includes a level, gravel parking and camping pad, picnic table, fire grill, and lantern hanger. Waterborne restrooms with hot showers are available in most loops, along with water hydrants, a dump station, and playgrounds.
One of Seven Points' greatest conveniences is the Greenside Pathway , a recycled rubber-tire trail connecting the campground loops with many of the area's key amenities. Campers can walk or bike to Seven Points Beach, Seven Points Public Boat Launch, the Raystown Lake Visitor Center, Mountain Bike Skills Park, Seven Points Marina, disc golf courses, playgrounds, picnic shelters, day-use parking areas, and other recreation facilities without traveling along the main roads.
Seven Points is an ideal base camp for boating, swimming, hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, disc golf, and more. Its convenient location makes it easy to spend less time traveling and more time enjoying Raystown Lake!

Recreation Outdoor recreation opportunities abound at Raystown- enjoy camping, boating, mountain biking, hiking, hunting, fishing, swimming, disc golf, birdwatching, seasonal outdoor performances and educational programs, and more!
Boating is a favorite activity at Raystown Lake, and with no boat horsepower limit, the water-based fun is nearly endless. Enjoy high-speed tubing, water skiing, and wakeboarding—or opt for more relaxed options like pontoon cruising, kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding. The expansive 28-mile lake offers space for both adventure and peaceful coves perfect for swimming or lounging. Snag a waterfront campsite to enjoy easy access to the shoreline (although the waterfront is shared by all campers, so feel free to use it even if you don't have a site near the water)!
On land, the Greenside Pathway —a recycled rubber-tire trail—links campgrounds to all Seven Points facilities and offers campers a much safer path than the road to get around the park. Hikers can also explore the 25-mile Terrace Mountain Trail , 3.5-mile Old Loggers Trail , or the 1-mile Hillside Nature Trail . Nearby Trough Creek State Park features scenic trails with natural landmarks like Balanced Rock, Rainbow Falls, and the Ice Mine.
Mountain bikers will love the internationally-acclaimed, 36-mile Allegrippis Trail System , and those looking to build their skills can visit the mountain bike skills park near the Visitors Center. For a more relaxed ride, check out the nearby Lower Trail —a scenic rail-trail that's a short 20 minute drive from Seven Points.
Camping is one of the best ways to enjoy Raystown. The USACE-operated Seven Points Campground offers over 260 sites with convenient access to lake activities and trails. For a more primitive experience, try Susquehannock Campground and Nancy’s Boat-to-Shore Campground ( only accessible by boat ), which both feature well-maintained, waterfront campsites in addition to more secluded, shaded sites. Lake Raystown Resort is a full-service, privately-operated resort complex featuring campsites, cabins, yurts, a lodge and conference center, marina, waterpark, and restaurant .
Each summer weekend, park rangers and environmental education interns host free educational and entertainment programs for all ages at the Seven Points amphitheater, public swim beaches, and campgrounds.
New! Seven Points now features two highly-rated disc golf courses : the beginner-friendly Pine 9 and the more advanced Ravine 18 , offering scenic and fun play for all skill levels.
Raystown is also a prime destination for hunting and fishing . Anglers can reel in striped bass, trout, walleye, crappie, and more from shore, boat, or below the dam. Public lands around the lake are open for seasonal hunting of deer, turkey, and small game, in line with PA Game Commission regulations.
Facilities There are six camping loops within Seven Points , offering over 260 campsites that accommodate tents, RVs, and trailers. Each loop is designed with comfort and convenience in mind, making it a great base camp for exploring Raystown Lake.
Most loops feature waterborne restrooms and hot showers . You'll find water hydrants available throughout the loops for refilling portable tanks (note: there are no direct hose hookups at campsites). A dump station is also located within the Seven Points area for RV water tank fill-up and waste disposal.
Each campsite includes a picnic table , fire grill , and lantern hanger , and nearly all offer electric hookups . Sites are generously spaced to give campers room to relax and enjoy a more private outdoor experience. Several loops also feature playgrounds , making the area especially family-friendly.
Before heading out for the day, stop at the Raystown Lake Visitor Center in Seven Points to grab a visitors guide highlighting businesses and tourist attractions in the local area or grab some souvenirs in the gift shop.
