I know everyone has their own wants and needs but if it were me I’d much prefer something up in the northern tier. Like the Tioga/Lycoming/Sullivan areas.

I live in Cumberland county so not really interested in driving over 3 hours to get somewhere. I'm in it for the boating. We were looking at raystown lake because it's closer to us but feel outside of raystown lake there isn't much besides Huntingdon.

Personal sidenote, what we have been doing is camping at all of PA's awesome state parks and taking my smaller boat with us to use on the smaller lakes. I feel this is the way but my wife and kids want something more permanent I guess. That and winter camping is never fun haha.

Raystown lake is very nice although yeah maybe not so much in January lol.

Side note, I’m not sure if this is 100% true but I heard once that when Teddy Roosevelt was president he was so impressed with the PA state park system he used it as the blueprint when they did the national parks.

It's the best. My main goal in life is to camp at everyone and fill out my passport!
