About

Trough Creek State Park campground is a peaceful 29-site camping area located within a scenic gorge formed by Great Trough Creek as it cuts through Terrace Mountain before emptying into Raystown Lake. The campground accommodates any size camper and provides electric hookups at all sites, making it suitable for both tent campers and RVs. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring, and most sites feature a separate crushed stone tent pad for additional convenience. The campground offers a rustic camping experience with non-flush restroom facilities and no shower facilities on-site. A sanitary dump station is conveniently located next to the park office. The 541-acre park is surrounded by Rothrock State Forest and the Raystown Lake Recreation Area, creating a large contiguous area of public land for recreation. Pets are permitted at designated campsites, allowing families to bring their four-legged companions. Rugged hiking trails within the park lead to natural wonders including the iconic Balanced Rock and Rainbow Falls. The forested setting provides a quiet, intimate camping atmosphere perfect for those seeking a getaway in nature. Reservations can be made through the Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system.
