Rather than attempt to get a number of sites together, Group Camp is a great alternative for large groups of campers.  Located in Meadow Camp (part of the larger Seven Points Recreation Area), Group camp consists of sites 60-67 that can be reserved together under a discounted price.  In addition to the nearby amenities located in Seven Points, Group Camp offers:

Semi-improved sites.  Sites in group camp have a gravel parking and living pad, but are not defined by timbered edges.  Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring and lantern post.  All sites are level.

Open area for tents.  Each site is limited to one wheeled camping unit (RV’s, trailers, pop-ups, etc) and a tent.  However, a large open common area may be used for additional tents.

Exclusive Picnic Shelter.  A picnic shelter is located to the back of group camp for exclusive use by group camp users.  This shelter was constructed in 2008 in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Conservation Corps and includes:

● A concrete floor

● Lights

● Power outlets

● seating for 75+

● Large pedestal grill

● Stone fireplace

 Group camp reservations must be made by calling the Ranger Secretary at (814) 658-6809 and requesting a "Group Camp" reservation. 

Reservations are made on a first come, first serve basis beginning at 12:01 a.m., 12 months in advance of the reservation date.  Please note that the National Recreation Reservation Service cannot make a reservation for group camp.  When group camp is not reserved, Sites 60-67 are available on a first come, first served basis.

Payment is due to the Seven Points Entrance Station by 2:00 p.m. following the first night’s occupancy and can be made by cash, check, Visa or MasterCard (use of credit cards may be limited during non-peak/shoulder seasons).  Advance payment cannot be accepted.

Golden Age/Access or America The Beautiful Senior/Access discounts are not available for group discounts unless separate cardholders are occupying every camping unit.  To learn more about discount cards available to seniors and persons with disabilities click here.

Upon arriving at Seven Points campers must first check in at the Entrance Station, located at the entrance to the park. Operating hours are limited and vary by season. If the Entrance Station is closed upon arrival, please follow the procedures posted on the bulletin board to the left of the front door.
