You are correct. Another senior moment. I haven't been back to Raystown Lake since 2008. We have only stayed at Seven Points.

I always hated when my bass club had tournaments at Raystown, it was so isolated and convoluted to get there, so if you don't like sitting in the trees near a nice lake Raystown is not the place to go.
if you want gettysburg or flight 93? memorial, etc. there are more accessible places to stay.

We camp with friends at Lake Raystown Resort. Its a beautiful park with great sites on the water. We stayed for 4 days last year and will be there over Memorial Day weekend this year, and then for a full week in August. The water is clean, you can fish, swim, boat, water ski, etc. The grounds are quite hilly, so biking isn't that great with the kids.

In any case, book early at CG's in this area. They tend to be full on weekends.

The good sites next to the water are usually fully booked in early January. The CG is usually full on weekends. Sorry, I am out-of-state at the moment and do not have my information available to be of more help.

It is a very pretty mountain setting. Wishing you the best.

There are two COE campgrounds on that lake. Herre is a link: Campgrounds

There is also a private resort campground with a marina.We stayed there many years ago.I believe it's called Lake Raystown Resort.

one nice feature about Raystown is that they have no wake zones in lots of the arms so you can fish in semi solitude.
