Camping near Foot of Ten, Pennsylvania
Foot of Ten is a small census-designated place in Blair County, about a mile west of Duncansville and a short drive from Altoona. The area sits in the ridge-and-valley region of central Pennsylvania, with the Allegheny Front rising to the west and Raystown Lake country to the southeast. That puts RV travellers within easy reach of state park camping, private full-hookup resorts, and orchard-country campgrounds.
Closest options include Weimers RV 764 Campground / Scott$ Arcade and Wrights Orchard Station Campground, both within the immediate Foot of Ten and Duncansville area. A short drive south reaches Glendale Valley Campground and Blue Knob State Park, which sits on the second-highest mountain in Pennsylvania at 3,146 feet. Heading southeast, James Creek RV Resort offers full-hookup sites near Raystown Lake, the largest lake entirely within the state. The mix means tent campers, pop-up travellers, and larger Class A rigs all have realistic choices within roughly an hour of Foot of Ten.
Things to do near Foot of Ten
Outdoor activity in the area centres on the Allegheny ridges and Raystown Lake. Blue Knob State Park covers 6,128 acres of woodland with hiking, mountain biking, trout streams, hunting, and downhill skiing in winter at the adjacent Blue Knob All Seasons Resort. The park connects to the 26-mile Lost Turkey Trail for longer backcountry routes, and a swimming pool inside the park is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Raystown Lake, reached easily from James Creek RV Resort, is built for boating, fishing, and swimming, with Tatman Run Beach a common family stop. Trough Creek State Park sits on the east side of the lake and adds waterfall and rock-formation hikes. Altoona, less than fifteen minutes north, adds the Horseshoe Curve, the Railroaders Memorial Museum, and family restaurants for rain-day backups.

The camping calendar here is shaped by Pennsylvania's humid continental climate and the schedules of state-run sites. Blue Knob State Park's 45 tent and trailer sites are open from the second Friday in April to the third Sunday in October, with 25 of those sites equipped with electric hookups. Private resorts such as James Creek RV Resort generally operate a longer season, but full amenities cluster between May and early October.
Late spring brings the wettest stretch of the year, with May typically the highest-rainfall month around Altoona. Summer is warm and humid, with daytime highs commonly in the low 80s Fahrenheit and frequent afternoon thunderstorms; this is also peak booking season, and lakeside and state-park sites fill weeks ahead for holiday weekends. Early autumn is a strong window: cool nights, lower mosquito pressure, and ridge-top foliage in October. Winter is cold and snowy, with the Blue Knob area averaging about 12 feet of annual snowfall, so most campgrounds shut down and only ski-area lodging stays active.

The camper was well stocked, clean, and comfortable. This is the 2nd time we rented from mike and he is very accommodating. Next time ill have to remember not to pack so much. They even thought of is when the nights got cold and brought us another propane tank, just in case, and we didnt even have to ask. Thanks Mike, for another wonderful fall adventure.

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!

How to book a campsite near Foot of Ten
State park sites at Blue Knob are booked through the Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system on ReserveAmerica, or by calling 888-PA-PARKS (888-727-2757). Reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance and must be booked at least three days ahead of arrival. Cabins and the rental house at Blue Knob rent by the week during summer peak season; outside peak, the minimum stay is two days. Private parks operate on their own systems, so James Creek RV Resort, Glendale Valley Campground, Weimers RV 764 Campground / Scott$ Arcade, and Wrights Orchard Station Campground are best booked directly through each operator's website or by phone. Holiday weekends, summer Saturdays, and Penn State football traffic all push sites within an hour of Altoona to fill quickly, so early reservations are recommended.
What to expect on the ground
Sites near Foot of Ten range from rustic state-park pads to full-hookup resort spots. Blue Knob's campsites sit in open fields and wooded areas, with 25 of the 45 tent and trailer sites offering electric hookups; two sites are walk-in only, and there is no individual water or sewer at sites, though a sanitary dump station and water spigot are provided. Modern restrooms, hot showers, and a playground round out the facilities. Private resorts in the wider area typically add 30- and 50-amp service, pull-through sites, and cabin rentals. Cell coverage is unpredictable in and around many Pennsylvania state parks, so downloading park maps before arrival is recommended. Roads into Blue Knob from Pavia are mountain roads with tight turns; large trailers should plan routes carefully. Black bears, white-tailed deer, and ticks are all present, so food storage and tick checks should be part of the routine.
