Susquehannock Campground is located near the north-central area of the lake near mile marker seven.  Classified as a primitive campground, Susquehannock is a great place to get away from it all and still be within short driving distance of civilization.

Campers enjoy a good book and the view from a water front site.

Unimproved Sites. Sites do not have a defined living or tent pad.  A level area is provided, but sizes may vary.  Many sites do not accommodate a camping unit larger than a tent or small pop-up trailer.  Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring.

Waterfront Sites.  Waterfront sites (designated with the “water symbol marking“ in the map above) are located within 10 to 30 feet of the shoreline.

Drinking Water Access.  A single hand pump water hydrant provides the only source of drinking water in the campground.

Hiking & Biking Trails.  The Allegrippis Trail system can be accessed from a road crossing about 100 yards uphill from site 1.

Near Seven Points. Susquehannock campers have access all Seven Points day-use areas including showers at the beach change house, a short 15 minute drive away.

For information specific to each site, visit the reservation website.

Check In

A convenient pull-up window allows campers to register without ever leaving the driver's seat.

Upon arriving at Susquehannock guests must first check in prior to selecting, visiting or occupying a site.  To check-in stop at the Susquehannock Entrance Station, located at the entrance to the park.  Operating hours vary depending upon the season.  If the Entrance Station is closed upon your arrival please follow the procedures posted on the station window.

Reservation campers should be prepared to provide their registration number and name to the attendant.

Walk-in campers (non-reservation) may select their site from a map of available sites or MIGHT be provided a look pass granting them access into the campground (to reduce traffic, look passes are only available when the campground is less than fifty percent occupied). The attendant can provide guests with site specific information regarding size, shade, hook-ups, proximity to water and other amenities.

Visitors wishing to visit a site for the day will still need to check-in at the Entrance Station to receive an access pass into the campground.

Upon checking into a site, campers receive vehicle and site permits granting access into the campground, a copy of our campground rules and a trash bag. Normally check-in only takes 5 minutes, but at peak times (weekends and holidays) campers should be prepared for longer lines and limited space at the Entrance Station parking lot.
