Campgrounds near Allenport
Allenport is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Shirley Township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, sitting along the Juniata River just southeast of Mount Union. It lies within the broader Raystown Lake region of south-central Pennsylvania, putting RV travelers within short driving distance of both river-frontage campgrounds and the largest lake entirely within the state.
The area sits in Pennsylvania's ridge-and-valley province, with forested ridges, deep valleys, and easy road access via US 522 and US 22. Nearby campgrounds range from small riverside operations to full-service resorts on Raystown Lake, plus federal campgrounds run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. RIVERBANK CAMPGROUND AND COTTAGE RENTAL sits along the Juniata River near Mount Union, while Lake Raystown Family Camping Resort operates as a full-service, privately run resort complex close to the Seven Points Recreation Area.
Woodland Camping Resort, Pleasant Hills Campground, and Wildwood RV Resort round out the local options for RV travelers looking for hookups, cabins, or seasonal sites in the surrounding counties.
Things to do near Allenport
Raystown Lake is the main draw. It is the largest lake entirely within Pennsylvania, making it a prime destination for boating, fishing, and water sports. There is no boat horsepower limit, so activities range from high-speed tubing, water skiing, and wakeboarding to pontoon cruising, kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding.
On land, mountain bikers head for the internationally acclaimed Allegrippis Trail System, a 36-mile network of singletrack accessible from the Susquehannock and Seven Points areas. A mountain bike skills park sits near the Seven Points Visitor Center, and the Lower Trail rail-trail is a short drive away for a more relaxed ride. Hikers, paddlers, and anglers use the same trail network year-round.
The Juniata River itself supports fishing, tubing, and kayaking, with public boat access close to Allenport and Mount Union.

The camping season in this part of Pennsylvania runs roughly early April through late October. Federal campgrounds on Raystown Lake, including Seven Points, operate from early April through late October, and private resorts in the area follow a similar window.
Spring brings cool nights, mild days, higher river flows, and increased rainfall, with May the wettest month of the year. Summer is peak season for lake recreation, and waterfront sites at Seven Points and other Raystown-area campgrounds book quickly, with Independence Day and August weekends filling first. Park rangers host free educational and entertainment programs at the Seven Points amphitheater and swim beaches on summer weekends.
Fall is the quietest stretch worth booking. Oak-hickory forests turn color through October, weekend crowds thin, and cooler temperatures make hiking, paddling, and biking the Allegrippis trails especially pleasant. Most federal and private campgrounds close for the winter by late October or early November, so late-season travelers should confirm operating dates directly with the operator before booking.

Shawn and Melinda made it easy to hold a memorable Penn State tailgate, even for someone like me who is new to RV rental. The Beaver Stadium RV lot didn’t have RV hookups so they made sure we had water and extra gas for the generator. They thought if every detail. The RV was super clean and well-stocked. They had excellent communication and were so friendly and helpful. I would 100% rent from them again.
Ginger K. - Nov 2024
This was my first time renting an RV and it was the smoothest process! The hosts were in contact with me before delivery so I knew exactly when they would arrive. They were so friendly and set up the entire camper and gave me a tour. We had an awesome experience, thank you!

What an incredible first experience! Tony is an outstanding host. He thoroughly went over the RV with me and communication was on point. The value matched the cost. The RV was so fun to drive. It was super clean, and very comfortable. We will be renting again for sure!
Kathleen C. - Aug 2025
This was a great RV for our camping trip to see fall foliage. It slept our group of 3 adults and 2 children very comfortably (particularly with a slider that allowed for a soft and full queen bed), had space to socialize, play games, and warm up from the outside. The stove and oven cooked beautifully and had enough heat to power through a large meal; the water could be adjusted to very hot, which was fantastic. The bathroom was roomy enough for a shower and sink. The fridge/freezer had plenty of space and kept everything nice and cold. I can’t say enough good things about the heat, it was powerful and immediate; we ended up being in some unexpectedly frosty and windy weather but never even noticed inside. Everyone slept like babies! There is storage space in a large compartment on the outside and multiple small cabinets for things inside. The power and water hook-up is a breeze, the dumping the same. You have large windows and plenty of inside lighting. As the driver, I appreciated how large my windshield viewing area was and it handled well. The only small flaw was the cracking and flaking of the seat and armrest upholstery but that was strictly cosmetic and had no negative impact on our enjoyment. Tony was a pleasure to deal with and very responsive. A positive experience all the way around!

Booking and reservations
Reservation systems vary by operator. Federal campgrounds around Raystown Lake, including Seven Points, are booked through Recreation.gov on a rolling six-month window that opens at 10:00 AM Eastern Time each day for the arrival date six months out. Check-in at Seven Points begins at 5 PM, checkout is 4 PM, and the maximum stay is 14 nights per 30-day period.
Private resorts handle their own bookings. Lake Raystown Family Camping Resort, Woodland Camping Resort, Pleasant Hills Campground, RIVERBANK CAMPGROUND AND COTTAGE RENTAL, and Wildwood RV Resort take reservations directly by phone or through their websites.
For summer holiday weekends, book federal sites as soon as the six-month window opens on Recreation.gov, and reserve private sites several months in advance. Waterfront and riverfront sites go first.
What to expect
Campgrounds in the Allenport area range from primitive riverside sites to full-hookup RV resorts. Seven Points offers over 260 sites across six loops (Bay, Valley, Point, Ridge, Meadow, and Senioa), with options from tent-only nonelectric to standard electric with 30 and 50-amp service, plus waterborne restrooms and hot showers on most loops. Private resorts such as Lake Raystown Family Camping Resort and Wildwood RV Resort typically offer full water, electric, and sewer hookups along with cabins and seasonal sites.
RVers should confirm rig-size limits and access-road clearances before booking smaller river campgrounds, since some sites along the Juniata are tight for larger Class A coaches. Cell service can be spotty in the hollows around Raystown Lake, and evenings run cool near the water even in summer. Bring layers, bug spray, and a good map.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Allenport, PA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Allenport, PA?
An RV rental in Allenport, PA is one of the more affordable ways to explore central Pennsylvania. On RVezy, travel trailers typically run about $75 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes average $150 to $275, and larger Class A coaches can range from $250 to $450. Because Allenport sits in rural Perry County, you will often find better nightly rates here than in Harrisburg or Pittsburgh. To save more, book midweek, travel in shoulder season (late April or September), and filter by hosts offering generous or unlimited mileage. Pro tip: bundling a 5+ night stay can unlock weekly discounts from many hosts in the region.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Allenport,%20PennsylvaniaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Allenport, PA?
Good news for first-time renters: a regular Pennsylvania (or any U.S. or Canadian) driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Allenport. Pennsylvania does not require a special RV endorsement or Commercial Driver's License (CDL) for personal motorhomes or trailers under 26,001 pounds, which covers virtually every RV on RVezy. Renters generally need to be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID securely during booking. Visiting from overseas? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP). Most guests are approved within a few hours.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental insurance and roadside assistance included for trips from Allenport?
Yes, every RVezy booking in Allenport, PA includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the road with peace of mind. You can choose your protection level (Basic, Standard, or Premium) during checkout based on the coverage you want, and the plan helps cover physical damage to the RV during your trip. Roadside assistance covers situations like flat tires, lockouts, jump-starts, and towing, helpful whether you are parked at Little Buffalo State Park or cruising Route 322. The protection plan is not traditional auto insurance, but it provides meaningful financial protection so you can focus on your Allenport RV trip.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat is the cancellation policy if my Allenport RV trip plans change?
Booking an RV rental in Allenport is low risk. RVezy applies a clear, consistent cancellation policy to every reservation, including a grace period right after booking so you can lock in dates with confidence. The refund amount depends on how far in advance you cancel relative to your trip start date. Cancellation terms are set by RVezy rather than individual hosts, so you get consistent treatment no matter which listing you choose. If a host cancels on you, RVezy helps you secure a refund or rebooking credit. Pro tip: book early to grab the best rigs for fall foliage in the Tuscarora State Forest, then finalize your itinerary later.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Allenport?
Yes, plenty of pet-friendly RV rental options in Allenport welcome four-legged travelers. Toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see hosts who allow dogs (and sometimes cats). A small pet fee may apply and is shown upfront on the listing. Once you have your rig, central PA is a dog lover's playground: Little Buffalo State Park (about 15 minutes away) has leashed-pet trails around Holman Lake, and Tuscarora State Forest offers miles of shaded paths perfect for summer hikes. Pennsylvania state park campgrounds allow pets in designated pet-friendly loops. Pro tip: pack a collapsible water bowl and a tie-out stake so your pup has a comfortable setup at camp.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/Pages/PetsInParks.aspxCan the RV be delivered to my campground near Allenport?
Yes, RV delivery is one of the best perks of booking through RVezy in Allenport, especially if you are new to RVing or prefer not to drive a large rig. Many local hosts will deliver the RV directly to your campsite at Little Buffalo State Park, Cowans Gap State Park, or a private campground like Gettysburg Battlefield Resort, then level it, hook up water and electric, and walk you through every system. Use the Delivery filter when searching, and check each listing for the delivery radius and fee (commonly around $2 to $4 per mile). When your trip ends, the host returns to pick the RV up. It is the easiest way to enjoy a stress-free Allenport RV trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Allenport,%20PennsylvaniaHow does mileage work, and how far can I drive from Allenport?
Mileage policies are set by each host and shown clearly on every listing. You will often find RV rentals with unlimited mileage or generous daily allowances of 100 to 200 miles, perfect for exploring beyond Allenport. From here, Hershey is about 50 miles east, Gettysburg sits around 55 miles south, State College and Penn State are roughly 80 miles north, Pittsburgh is about 175 miles west, and Niagara Falls is a doable 280-mile run. For longer Pennsylvania RV trips, filter for unlimited mileage listings and message the host before booking to confirm your route. Pro tip: overage rates usually run about $0.30 to $0.45 per mile, so estimate generously upfront.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Allenport,%20PennsylvaniaWhere are the best campgrounds near Allenport, PA?
You are spoiled for choice when RV camping near Allenport. The closest gem is Little Buffalo State Park (about 12 miles away) with wooded sites, electric hookups, and swimming at Holman Lake. Colonel Denning State Park (around 30 miles west) offers quiet sites near Doubling Gap. Cowans Gap State Park (about 60 miles southwest) has lakeside sites surrounded by Buchanan State Forest. For full hookups and amenities, try Gettysburg Battlefield Resort (55 miles south) or Hershey Highmeadow Campground (50 miles east), both popular with families. Pro tip: Pennsylvania state park reservations open well in advance, so book early for summer weekends and October foliage when Perry County's hardwoods light up gold and crimson.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/Pages/default.aspxWhen is the best time of year for an Allenport RV trip?
Late April through late October is prime time for RV camping in Allenport. The sweet spots are May (wildflowers and mild 60 to 75 degree days), September (warm days, cool nights, fewer bugs), and early October (peak fall foliage in the Tuscarora and Buchanan State Forests). Summer days typically run 78 to 88 degrees, perfect for swimming at Holman Lake, though July and August can bring humid afternoons and pop-up thunderstorms. Winters are cold (often 20 to 35 degrees with snow), but some hosts offer four-season RVs with heated tanks and furnaces if you are up for a quiet, snowy adventure. Pro tip: book the second weekend of October at least three months ahead, when foliage peaks and sites fill fast.
weather.gov/ctp/I have never driven an RV before. Will I be okay renting in Allenport?
You will do great. First time renting an RV is easier than most people expect, especially in a quiet area like Allenport. Every RVezy host provides a full walkthrough at pickup, showing you how to operate the generator, awning, slides, water systems, and dump valves. They will answer every question and most are happy to be a quick phone call away during your trip. If you are nervous about driving, start with a Class B campervan rental in Allenport or a compact travel trailer, both handle much like an oversized van. Better yet, book a host who delivers so you do not have to drive at all. Pro tip: Perry County's rural roads like Route 274 and Route 850 are low-traffic practice routes for building confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if my RV breaks down during my trip?
You are covered. 24/7 roadside assistance is included with every RVezy renter protection plan, so help is just a phone call away whether you are on the Pennsylvania Turnpike or a back road in Tuscarora State Forest. Services include flat tire help, jump-starts, lockout assistance, fuel delivery, and towing to the nearest qualified service center. Your host is also typically your first call for quick fixes like resetting a tripped breaker or restarting the generator, since they know their rig inside out. RVezy's support team is available before, during, and after your trip if anything escalates. Pro tip: cell coverage can dip in the ridges around Perry County, so download Google Maps offline before leaving Allenport.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Allenport RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, most RV road trips from Allenport cross at least one state line, and that is welcomed on RVezy. Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Virginia are all within an easy day's drive, and your protection plan travels with you throughout the United States. Travel to Canada (Niagara Falls is about 280 miles north) may be allowed, but message the host first to confirm and ensure cross-border coverage is in place. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. Pro tip: a popular multi-state loop from Allenport pairs Gettysburg with Antietam and Harpers Ferry for a Civil War history weekend across three states.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on an Allenport RV trip?
Fuel is usually the biggest variable cost, but it is easy to plan for. Pennsylvania gas prices typically run a bit above the national average. Expect roughly 8 to 10 miles per gallon for a Class A, 10 to 14 MPG for a Class C, 18 to 22 MPG for a Class B campervan, and about a 25 to 35 percent drop in your tow vehicle's MPG while pulling a travel trailer. As a rough rule, budget about $0.35 to $0.50 per mile for fuel. A weekend trip from Allenport to Hershey and back (around 100 miles) might cost $35 to $50 in fuel for a midsize motorhome. Pro tip: use GasBuddy to find the cheapest stations along Route 322 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike before fill-ups.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Allenport?
For the best sites, book early. Pennsylvania State Parks accept reservations well in advance through the official Reserve PA system, and that is when prime electric and waterfront sites at Little Buffalo, Colonel Denning, and Cowans Gap get snapped up for summer holiday weekends and October foliage weeks. For private parks like Hershey Highmeadow or Gettysburg Battlefield Resort, three to six months ahead is usually plenty. Midweek and shoulder-season trips can often be booked just days before. Pro tip: if your dream campground is full, check first-come-first-served sites at Tuscarora State Forest's primitive campgrounds, an off-the-grid option just a short drive from Allenport that most travelers overlook.
pennsylvaniastateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are driving conditions like around Allenport?
Driving an RV around Allenport is refreshingly easy. This is rural central Pennsylvania, with light traffic and scenic two-lane roads like Route 274 and Route 850 winding through farm country. The main considerations are rolling hills and a few tight curves through the Tuscarora Mountain ridges, plus the occasional Amish horse-and-buggy in nearby Big Valley, so slow down and give them wide room. If you are in a tall Class A, check clearances before older tunnels, modern Pennsylvania Turnpike sections handle anything under 13 feet 6 inches. Winter (December through March) can bring snow and ice on ridge roads, so most rentals are seasonal. Pro tip: the Susquehanna River crossings on Routes 11/15 offer gorgeous valley views, especially in early morning mist.
511pa.com/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Allenport?
Campgrounds around Allenport range from full-service resorts to rustic state park sites, so you can match the experience to your style. Pennsylvania state parks like Little Buffalo and Colonel Denning offer electric (20/30/50 amp) hookups, potable water spigots, flush restrooms, hot showers, and dump stations, though full sewer hookups at the site are rare. Private parks like Hershey Highmeadow and Gettysburg Battlefield Resort offer full hookups (water, electric, sewer), Wi-Fi, pools, and laundry. You can dump tanks at most state park dump stations and fill freshwater at the campground entrance. Pro tip: top off your freshwater tank before leaving the Allenport area so you are never caught short at a primitive site.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/Pages/default.aspxWhat is included inside a typical RV rental in Allenport?
You will be impressed by how well-equipped most rentals are. A typical motorhome rental in Allenport comes with comfortable beds (sleeping 2 to 8 depending on layout), a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink, basic cookware), a bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control (AC and furnace), seatbelted seating for travel, and often extras like a TV, outdoor speakers, and an awning. Many hosts include linens, kitchen starter kits, and camp chairs, just check the listing's amenities list. Generators or solar setups are common for off-grid stays. Wi-Fi is usually via your phone hotspot since rural Perry County coverage varies. Pro tip: message your host before arrival to confirm what is included so you only pack what you actually need.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Allenport,%20PennsylvaniaWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
RVezy hosts in the Allenport area offer plenty of helpful add-ons to customize your trip, including bedding and towel packages, kitchen kits, camp chairs and outdoor rugs, bike racks, propane refills, generator hours, and even pre-stocked groceries from some hosts. Pickup is typically at the host's home or storage lot, with a 30 to 60 minute walkthrough included so you never feel rushed. Delivery and setup is a popular option (often around $2 to $4 per mile), and a few hosts will meet you directly at Little Buffalo State Park. Most listings include 100 to 150 free miles per day with reasonable overage rates. Pro tip: add a portable propane fire pit, since many Pennsylvania state parks restrict wood fires during dry spells but allow propane.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/Pages/default.aspxHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay through RVezy with a credit or debit card, and your booking is confirmed once the host accepts (or instantly with Instant Book listings). A refundable security deposit is held separately before pickup, typically a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the RV, and it is released after your trip assuming no damage or policy violations. You never pay the host directly in cash. To avoid issues at return, take date-stamped photos at pickup and drop-off, follow the host's fuel and dump-tank instructions, and stay within your mileage allowance. Pro tip: book at least a week ahead so your deposit hold aligns cleanly with your Allenport trip dates.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat are the best road trip routes from Allenport?
An RV road trip from Allenport opens up some of the East's best history, nature, and small-town charm. Top routes: head about 55 miles south to Gettysburg National Military Park for Civil War history and rolling countryside; drive 50 miles east to Hershey for Hersheypark and ZooAmerica; cruise 80 miles north to State College for Penn State weekends and Bald Eagle State Park; venture 175 miles west to Pittsburgh for city sights plus Ohiopyle State Park's whitewater; or take a 280-mile northern run to Niagara Falls via the scenic Route 15 corridor. For a slower pace, explore the Pennsylvania Wilds along Route 144 for dark skies, elk herds, and almost no traffic. Pro tip: pair Gettysburg with Antietam in Maryland for a powerful two-day battlefield loop.
