Susquehannock

About

Susquehannock Campground occupies a scenic peninsula on 8,300-acre Raystown Lake in the ridge and valley province of central Pennsylvania. Managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, this primitive campground offers over 60 newly-renovated non-electric campsites, including more than 20 dedicated tent-only walk-in sites. Many sites are directly on the waterfront, while others sit just a short walk from the lake's edge. The campground is a favorite among mountain bikers due to its easy access to the internationally-acclaimed Allegrippis Trail System, a 36-mile network of singletrack. Each site features a level camping pad, fire ring with grill, picnic table, and lantern pole. Vault toilets are located throughout the campground, and potable water is available at a spigot 300 feet past the entrance station. For showers and laundry, campers can visit the facilities at nearby Seven Points Campground. The lake provides excellent fishing for muskies, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and brown trout. Boating, swimming, and hiking are readily accessible. The area is surrounded by oak-hickory forest with wildlife including white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, bald eagles, and great blue herons.
