About

Camp Anderson is a historic camping facility situated in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains in Central Pennsylvania, located midway between Altoona and State College, about 25 miles from each via I-99. Originally established as a scout camp in 1925 through the generosity of John G. Anderson and C. L. Hicks, the property is now operated by the Camp Anderson Corporation, a private nonprofit organization. The camp offers tent camping, cabins for rent, and a handicap-accessible site, with a primary trout stream running through the property that provides fishing opportunities. The facility serves as an ideal destination for camping weekends, training centers, reunions, and weddings. Camp Anderson is conveniently located near numerous local attractions including DelGrosso's Park & Laguna Splash, Blue Knob Ski Area, Lake Raystown, and Penn State University, all within 30 to 40 minutes' drive. The camp is also near historical sites ranging from Colonial Fort Roberdeau to sites of the Industrial Revolution and railroad heritage.
