Beautiful lake and campground with plenty of easily accessible amenities. The only reason for less than five stars is the navigation of getting into the sites and the website showing every site around is occupied when 90% were not occupied for our dates. It would have been easier to access a different site since our camper is very large. No water hookups but potable water is conveniently located. We will definitely be back! read more

Seven Points Campground - Campgrounds Near Me - Hesston, Pennsylvania

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. You can camp right on the edge of the lake if you wish. There are also very nice campsites with a lake view and some even further away, higher on the hill. Most, if not all, of the sites are nicely graded and flat so setup is easy. We didn't use the toilets or showers since we were in a small motor home but as nice as everything else is, I can't imagine that they would be anything but perfect. We saw campground staff going several times throughout the day to clean the facilities. We had a very enjoyable several days at Seven Points Campground and plan to return this Spring. read more

I camped here last weekend with my hubby and some of his distant relatives. They are all serious campers with nice campers/RVs that have all the creature comforts. Hubby & I are basic campers... as in we have a tent with an air mattress, lol! There were definitely some pros and cons to this campground. First, it is a pretty large site and has a lot of neat features. They have plenty of trails, beach for swimmers on the lake, boat launch, marina, visitor center/amphitheater, and easy access garbage bins for clean up when you leave. As far as the actual camping, the spaces are broken down into several different sections. We were in Meadow Camp which was made up of sites 43-86. The Meadow camp had a central playground as well as bathroom/shower facilities. The bathroom/showers were clean and stocked with plenty of TP. But a little more user friendly layout would have been nice. The womens side had 3 toilets, 2 showers, 2 sinks with mirrors. The mens side apparently had 2 showers, 2 sinks, 2 urinals, and 1 toilet. The actual campsites were nice & roomy. Plenty of room on level pad for parking RV or Camper & plus room for parking your car or truck. Electrical hookup is available. Then, a second smaller level area with firepit (including grate) and 2 picnic tables. You can have 1 Camper/Rv and 1 tent per site generally. (However, other options may exist for group sites.) The standard sites were a little too close together for our taste. We like to have a little more privacy than this cul-de-sac offered. The first night we arrived was a Thursday night & we were thrilled that there were plenty of empty spaces around us. Unfortunately they were all filled up by Fri PM. The campground is supposed to have quiet hours at night, but unfortunately there were a group of loud & obnoxious campers who were blasting music & partying well after 10 pm one night. I think someone complained to the rangers because the next night they were conspicuously quiet. Overall, this is a very good facility, but would have been 5 stars with a little more privacy/separation between campsites and better bathroom/shower facilities (more mirrors, counterspace, benches, etc). If you want to go during Peak Season, be sure to make a reservation because this place is very popular & fills up. When my hubby made our reservation, we literally booked the last available site for the weekend. Sites range from $24-36 per night. read more

This is our favorite go to place in Pennsylvania. You cannot beat the surroundings. There a few places you can go for a quiet camping trip to enjoy the outdoors. If there is one thing that can ruin it, that would be people that don't adhere to the check out policy. The person in our site appeared to have no intention of moving until we showed up to set up in our site. Other than that there is nothing bad to say about Seven Points Campground. One of the finest that the ACOE has to offer read more

(Ridge Campground & Lake) I've camped at state parks and national parks, but this was my first Army Corps of Engineers campground, a thing I did not know existed until a last-minute change of plans resulted in our going here for the Independence Day Weekend. I assume that when ACE decided to build a campground around the lake (Raystown) it had made, it looked at other campgrounds and decided not to go with your boring old camp pads. Instead, they decided to do something completely different - duplex camp pads. Yes, on the lower - almost perfectly level - pad we put our little camper. On the upper deck - where the fire ring and picnic table are located - we put our screen room. This camp area was for RVs, so for us it was an insane amount of space. I want to go back to try a pad that has the camper on the upper level and the fire ring on the lower level. Just because. Some of the sites are kind of open, ours was one of the more open sites, but for the most part the trees or the duplex set up make for enough privacy. What else? Bathrooms? Good question - Spotless. They clean them twice a day. There are nice sized shower stalls BUT - what's up ACE? - only one hook for your things and no benches. So, be prepared - one of those reusable shopping bags is your friend. The lake itself was ... a big old lake full of lots of boats going lots of fast. I only note this because if you are in a boat that goes people speed (eg a kayak) and you aren't that experienced [ahem], it can be kind of intimidating once you get away from the little sheltered area where you launch. Regarding that, if there's a kayak/canoe friendly place to launch at that part of the lake, we didn't see it. Parking is also limited and unless you're in a campground that's really close to the lake, launching and then driving back to the campsite and then walking back to the lake ... Ugh, I get tired thinking about it. However - It is definitely a lot of fun out there. There are lots of little islands and cliffs to climb on and plenty of no wake areas where you don't feel like you're going to get mowed down by a pontoon boat, which would be embarrassing. read more

We camped here in September 2020 - not our first time at Raystown, but first time camping at Seven Points. We stayed in the Meadows Loop and the sites were extremely spacious, well-maintained, and easily accessible. Although only electric is available at the sites, fresh water fill station and dump station are nearby, accommodate multiple units simultaneously, and are clean. We checked out some of the waterfront loops while we were there, and although they are a bit tighter to get into, many sites have excellent water and mountain views. We also walked into the bathrooms and they looked clean and well-maintained. Most importantly, the Raystown area is an outdoor enthusiast's playground - world-class mountain biking, hiking around the campground and at nearby Trough Creek State Park, and water sports on the lake. Be careful if you intend to paddle because some parts of the lake do have heavy power boat traffic. This area is great, and we'll definitely be coming back to Seven Points the next time we visit! read more
