Campgrounds near Loop, Pennsylvania
Loop is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Blair County, in south-central Pennsylvania, bordered to the northwest by the borough of Hollidaysburg. The Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River flows through the community, which sits at the base of Loop Mountain in the Ridge-and-Valley province of the Appalachians. The location puts RV travelers within a short drive of Altoona, the Allegheny Front, and the Raystown Lake region to the southeast.
Most nearby RV camping falls into two clusters. Close to Loop itself, Wrights Orchard Station Campground and Weimers RV 764 Campground / Scott$ Arcade sit off nearby routes, useful for travelers passing through central Pennsylvania or basing near Altoona. About a half-hour south, three lake-oriented parks cluster around Raystown Lake: James Creek RV Resort, Lake Raystown Resort and Lodge, and Heritage Cove Resort.
Blair County itself is drained by the Frankstown Branch and Little Juniata rivers, with Canoe Creek State Park providing the closest state-park recreation area. Together the mix supports short railroad-history trips, lake weekends, and longer touring stops.
Things to do near Loop
Raystown Lake anchors outdoor recreation south of Loop. It is the largest lake located entirely within Pennsylvania, spanning about 8,300 acres in Huntingdon County, and its shoreline supports boating, fishing, swimming, and the Allegrippis mountain-biking system. The lake holds largemouth and striped bass, muskellunge, walleye, and several trout species, and Trough Creek State Park sits nearby with a suspension bridge, balanced-rock formations, and a hemlock-shaded gorge.
Closer to Loop, Altoona's railroad heritage is a draw. Horseshoe Curve National Historic Landmark sits in Logan Township where the Norfolk Southern Pittsburgh Line climbs the Allegheny Front. Canoe Creek State Park offers a quieter day-use lake with fishing and swimming, and state game lands in Blair County provide additional hiking and wildlife-watching acreage.

The camping season in this part of Pennsylvania runs roughly late spring through mid-fall. Most private parks around Raystown and Altoona open in May and close by late October or early November. Heritage Cove Resort operates from May through October, and other private resorts in the area follow similar warm-season schedules.
Summer weekends fill fastest. Raystown Lake draws heavy boating and family traffic from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and cabins and lakefront RV sites often book months ahead. Fall brings cooler nights, quieter campgrounds, and Appalachian color across the Ridge-and-Valley ridges.
Winter is not a practical camping season here. December through February average lows sit below 20°F with regular snowfall in the Altoona area, and most area campgrounds are closed. Travelers looking for shoulder-season or winter stays should confirm operating dates directly with the property, since many gates close well before the first hard freeze.

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!

How to book near Loop

James Creek RV Resort is operated by RJourney and books through its site, Lake Raystown Resort and Lodge is operated by RVC Outdoor Destinations, and Heritage Cove Resort uses the CampLife reservation platform. Wrights Orchard Station Campground and Weimers RV 764 Campground / Scott$ Arcade are smaller family-run parks; contact the campground directly for reservation information.
Public Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds on Raystown Lake, such as Seven Points and Susquehannock, are booked through Recreation.gov, and Pennsylvania state parks like Canoe Creek and Trough Creek are booked through the DCNR reservation system. For summer weekends, reserve as far ahead as the system allows, since lakefront and full-hookup sites go first.
What to expect at Loop campgrounds
Site types vary widely across the five nearby campgrounds. James Creek RV Resort runs 207 back-in RV sites with 20/30/50-amp electric and water at every site, no individual sewer hookups, with an on-site dump station and pump-out service for longer stays. Heritage Cove Resort offers full-hookup RV sites with 30/50-amp service, cabins, a boat launch, and a wooded lakeshore setting at the southern end of Raystown Lake. Lake Raystown Resort and Lodge adds a marina, beach, and larger resort amenities on the east side of the lake.
Closer to Loop, Wrights Orchard Station Campground and Weimers RV 764 Campground / Scott$ Arcade are smaller family-run parks. Cell coverage is generally reliable near Altoona and thinner along the lake's back coves. Expect wooded, shaded sites and cool mountain nights even in summer.

Good news: a regular Pennsylvania driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Loop, PA. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation does not require a commercial driver's license (CDL) or a special RV endorsement for non-commercial motorhomes or travel trailers used for personal recreation. You'll need to be at least 25 years old to be an approved driver on RVezy, and your ID is verified securely through the platform. Visiting from outside the U.S.?

There's a money-back grace period right after you book, plus additional flexibility based on how far out your trip is.

Review the current cancellation details on the RVezy Help Center before you book, then reserve with confidence knowing you have options.

Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet rules and ask for tips on their favorite dog-friendly stops.

dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/PrinceGallitzinStatePark/Pages/default.aspxHow far can I travel on a Loop, PA RV trip?

The sweet spot for RV camping in Loop, PA runs from late April through mid-October, with peak season squarely in June, July, and August when daytime highs hover between 78 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. September and early October are local insider favorites, the Allegheny Mountains explode with red and gold foliage, mosquitoes vanish, and campgrounds quiet down. Spring brings wildflowers and trout fishing on the Juniata River, while winter (December to February) drops to the 20s and 30s with regular snow, so most parks close their water systems. For the best balance of weather, scenery, and availability, target the second half of September for an unforgettable autumn Pennsylvania RV trip.

eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds near Loop, PA?

pennsylvaniastateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are local driving conditions like around Loop, PA?
Driving around Loop, PA is genuinely pleasant for RVs: you're in the Ridge-and-Valley region with rolling terrain rather than steep mountain passes. U.S. Route 22 and Interstate 99 are wide four-lane highways well suited to first-timers, and local roads in Hollidaysburg and Frankstown Township handle motorhomes without issue. Watch for twisty back roads near the Horseshoe Curve area, and use lower gears descending the Allegheny Front toward Altoona. Winter (December through March) brings snow and occasional ice, so most renters stick to April through November. Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls accept E-ZPass and pay-by-plate, and standard RV clearance under bridges is generally 13'6" or higher on numbered highways.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Pages/default.aspxWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Loop, PA?

Pennsylvania state parks like Prince Gallitzin and Canoe Creek provide electric hookups (20/30/50 amp at many sites), potable water spigots, dump stations, modern restrooms with hot showers, and picnic tables with fire rings at every site. Private parks such as Breezy Hill and Glendale Valley Campground typically add full hookups (water, electric, sewer at the site), Wi-Fi, laundry, and camp stores. Free dump stations are available at most state parks for registered campers, and you can top off fresh water before heading out. Pro tip: pack a 25-foot drinking-safe water hose and a 30-to-50 amp adapter so you're ready for any site in Blair County.

Payment for your RV rental in Loop, PA happens securely through the RVezy platform, you never hand cash to the host. Your credit or debit card is charged for the booking total, and a refundable security deposit is held by RVezy near your trip start date and released after a successful return. To avoid surprises, take date-stamped photos of the RV inside and out at pickup and dropoff, follow the host's mileage and generator-hour limits, and return the rig with the agreed fuel and propane levels. Most renters in Blair County see their deposit released within a few days of return, so it's a smooth, transparent process from booking to dropoff.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhere can I park or stay overnight in an RV around Loop, PA?
Knowing where to park an RV in Loop, PA makes trip planning simple. Overnight RV parking is best done at established campgrounds like Prince Gallitzin State Park, Canoe Creek State Park, Breezy Hill, Glendale Valley, and Friendship Village Campground in Bedford. Many Walmart locations in Altoona and Duncansville permit overnight stays with manager approval, and Cabela's in Hamburg (about 2 hours east) is a classic free overnight stop. Pennsylvania does not allow overnight parking at Turnpike service plazas for sleeping, but rest areas on I-99 and Route 22 permit short rest stops. Pro tip: use the Harvest Hosts or Boondockers Welcome networks for free farm and winery stays scattered throughout the Alleghenies, an unforgettable way to experience RV camping in Loop.
