Driving down the quiet, tree-lined road that leads into
this area, a visitor might almost feel as if they have been taken back
in time. Back to a period more relaxed, slower -paced. The smell of a
campfire fills the air as one nears the entrance to the campsites.
There, the fun begins.
Open for camping from Mid May through Mid September,
this primitive campground affords 61 sites. Sixty percent (60 percent)
of these sites can be reserved (see the table below for a list of
reservable sites and a direct link to make your reservations); the
remaining 40 percent are still available on a first come - first served
basis.
Many sites can accommodate a camper or pop-up, although a
few sites are best suited for tents only. Each site had its own picnic table
and a fire ring for grilling. Trash receptacles are located at central
locations throughout the campground. Located throughout the campground are
three (3) vault-type comfort stations and one (1) composting toilet, four
(4) informational bulletin boards, and one hand-pump well . There is no
electricity in this campground. Although shower houses are not in the
campground, guests staying in Susquehannock Campground are able to enjoy a
relaxing shower in our nearby Seven
Points Camping areas.
