The Most Unique Campground Near Pittsburgh, Lake Raystown Resort Is Pure Magic

Camping doesn't necessarily mean we have to rough it. Sure, the campgrounds around Pittsburgh offer opportunities for rustic camping - in a primitive tent without water or electricity - but sometimes we all need a little luxury as we sleep under the stars. Fall asleep in the coziness of a yurt at this campground near Pittsburgh that offers plenty for the whole family.

Fill up the tank. Turn on the tunes. And, set the GPS for Lake Raystown Resort, a little over two hours from downtown Pittsburgh, for a unique and an unforgettable camping adventure.

Of course, if you want a really unique camping experience, reserve the luxurious yurt that comfortably sleeps between four and six guests.

And, enjoy the slew of amenities in your home away from home, including cozy beds, WiFi, and A/C. Even better? Gaze at the stars, through the yurt's roof, as you fall asleep at night.

Or, if you like the sheer charm of waking up in a picturesque cabin overlooking the lake, check into a pine cabin.

Lake Raystown Resort also offers picture-perfect RV parking spots, pet-friendly cabins, bungalows, and tent camping.

But, once you check in, the fun's just beginning. Spend leisurely hours on a boat meandering down Raystown Lake. Or...

Stay cool at WildRiver Water Park, where you (and the kiddos) can wile away the hours slipping down slides.

Let someone else do the steering on the Proud Mary Showboat as you admire the landscape rolling by.
