Nancy'S Boat to Shore Campground (pa)

Hosted by US Army Corps of Engineers

New listing

Nancy's Boat to Shore Campground, in the central region of Raystown Lake, is the perfect secluded getaway camping spot, accessible only by boat. Located near both the James Creek and Aitch boat launch areas, the campground is situated on the shoreline of Raystown Lake away from public roadways. Fishing is excellent, with small and large mouth bass, muskies, striped bass and brown trout abundant in the lake. Trough Creek State Park is nearby across the lake, and Seven Points and Lake Raystown Resort are both within 8 lake miles. Nearby trails, including Lower Trail (Rails to Trails), Terrace Mountain Trail, Old Loggers Trail and Mid State Trail, attract plenty of traffic. Campsites are accessed by boat only. Although remote and primitive, each campsite offers a picnic table and campfire ring, with a maximum of two tents permitted per site. There are no electric hookups. Vault toilets are available. Some of the campsites are located in open, grassy areas while others are tucked into wooded areas. Potable water must be brought along to the campground, as no water is currently available. Raystown Lake is in the ridge and valley province of Pennsylvania. The lakeshore is lined with an old oak-hickory forest giving way to mountain ridges and cliffs. The man-made lake is fed by the Raystown Branch tributary of the Juniata River and is the largest lake completely in the state of Pennsylvania. Aitch Boat Launch, James Creek Boat Launch, Seven Points Recreation Area, the Raystown Lake Visitor Center, Lake Raystown Resort & Conference Center and Trough Creek State Park are all nearby.
