Our 2 DD's are going to Europe at the end of June for 10 days. Not sure of the exact dates yet.
The DW and I would like to to go to this one if the timing is right. We rented a cabin on the lake about 5 yrs ago.
It's a beautiful lake.

Right now, we are scheduled for 11 days at Army Corps of Engineers West Thompson Lake CG in May.
Rally week at Chewonki CG in ME in July and Jan's every summer 10 days in August at Fishermans CG in RI.
I just don't have that much vacation time like DW does and any CG's that she'd spend a week at need to be nearby.
Plus that is in the middle of the Cape Ann, Ma Rally and the Salisbury Beach rally, both of which we're planning to attend.
Just can't do a 6 1/2 ride each way between two other rallies. Half that distance and we'd be there. Wish we could go, it looks great.

Just an FYI - if we stay with this weekend, it's Father's Day.

My sister stayed at a different campground.

Sounds like a great gift for the father in our house  :-X. Weekend of camping, fishing, and great company. Do not know much about
the area,so whatever campsite you choose, I'm sure will be fine with us.

I am thinking I may be able to get up early Sat. and make the trip up to check for myself.  Here is a review from someone that knows the area from another site.

I perfer the point over senoia. Camp 126A is the best.
Senoia Pro's and Con's
Cleaner
Better Bathrooms
and if your not looking for water the top is great for more privacy

Smaller sites
more traffic
sites not flat

Point Pro's and Con's
Larger sites
Flat sites
easier to park

Small dated bathrooms
Most water sites are reserve only

In doing a little research, I have come up with another option that would probably be a lot easier to make happen.  Instead of Seven Points, there is a private place.  Lake Raystown Resort.  Sites are a bit more expensive, but also extremly nice!  We could get the waterfront sites which include water and electric, cable tv and wireless internet.  The resort also has some shops and a large paddle boat ride, as well as boat rentals.  Being private, maybe Joe could work his magic and get better rates also?  Take a look and see if we want to consider it?

we're open to whatever the majority wants. Whichever place we stay, we'd have to drive to the trail head for biking - unless we stated at Susquannock, which has no bathrooms, no flush toilets...not an option IMHO  😉

BiXLL:
Lake Raystown Resort is where my sister and her family camped for about ten years.  Very nice place.
I called the campground yesterday afternoon because I'm not sure if we can even get in there.  I'll let you know.

I just got off the phone with the management at Raystown Resort Campground.  It was 1hr 24min call and I need to gather all the info to share.  Short Version, we can do a group there next year and they have space available... which I've blocked.  More coming very soon.

Hello Everyone, I have the details for the rally updated at the beginning of the thread. PLEASE DON'T BOOK NOW!  I will have the contract finalized in 3 weeks and let everyone know when we can start booking sites.  We have the 21 sites blocked in the Birch Loop at this time.  If you go to their website, there is a virtual tour video that you can see what the CG looks like, we are the Birch wooded sites, not the grass field sites.  🙂

Hi everyone !!  You probably recognize me from the place 'where campers connect'.  Hey, I may have some interest in this rally/group camp, if you'll have me.  I'm not nearly as outspoken in person as I am on a forum !!  Huh, bixll? 

I am correct that this camping area is NOT within the Army Corps campground, right?  My cousin and his wife camp in the ACOE campground in the Senioa loop and always tell me how great it is. 

I'll be checking back often for updates on this.  Also...... I'll just ask because I can't check.... too many tabs open already..... are these sites water/sewer/electric or what?

Yeah you are a bit quiet in person, I did not realize who you were at the rally till someone told me!  This is the resort, not corps campground, we could not get a block of sites at the corps.  The sites all have water and electric, and there are both water sites and wooded sites in our block.  Of course you are welcome to join us, anybody from any site is not only welcome, but encouraged to join us.......the more the merrier!!!!!

On a side note, I plan on getting a water site, but anyone who gets a wooded site is more then welcome to use my site for water access, or to pull boat/kayak up and tie off.

We just joined this site and are interested in attending.  Wondering if any of the nearby Pine Cabins will be available for those friends that want to attend but don't have a camper?  If this is not part of the package, we can call ourselves.  We have stayed there a couple of years in a row about 5 years ago in the Oak Cottages before we had a camper.  This is a very nice & very popular place.!
