    Pine Cradle Lake Family Campground

    RV/tent campground in a beautiful setting

    This is a gated campground that we stayed at 6/30/19-7/04/19. We are NOT an RV. We own a Napier tent that hooks to our truck so that we can sleep up in the bed. However, due to it being a holiday week, the tent sites were completely booked and they only have 4(which also have water& electric). The tent sites are located in the back of the campground behind the sports field within the trees. I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to see them but they have them pictured on their website. They let us book an RV site and it was rough setting up on a gravel RV site but we understood that we were not within a normal tent element and placed an extra tarp under the tent. The campground is located at the top of some beautiful and scenic driving through farmland in Pennsylvania and you will be 30 minutes from anything like shopping or small town amenities(we drove to Walmart after setting up to get our perishables since we drive up from Virginia). Our site had water and electric, was a drive through spot for a typical RV with a section to the side of the drive through for the fire pit and picnic table. We were located right next to the shower/bathrooms/playground and had some tree coverage and shade. A lot of the RVs in the campground are permanent sites and our neighbors never showed so we had a quiet buffer but it was not a noisy campground. It appeared that they cleaned the bathrooms twice daily and we were impressed with the cleanliness of the bathroom/showers. There were 4 in the building so we never had to wait. The staff were friendly and helpful. They had a store right next to the pool area that offered common items and RV'er might need with a small grocery area as well which included bundles of wood($6 honor system after hours) and Ice($1.78 per bag). We were allowed to run an account which we paid at the end of our stay. Our campsite was required to be paid at check in. The campground is 18 acres with gravel roads, a sports field, fishing, horse shoes, bocce ball, multiple playgrounds, a rec center with some games, claw machines etc. a splash pad and salt water pool. You will be doing a lot of walking or bring your bicycles like we did. They offer scheduled activities for holidays etc and various weekend activities. You can rent non electric boats and they offer catch& release fishing without a PA license in the lake. My son caught 2 sunfish :) They have guidelines for visitors and quiet hours(my cousin came to visit us in the evenings as she lived close by). We enjoyed camping here even if we were on an RV site. We booked site 211 which had the little bit of tree coverage and was located right next to the showers/bathrooms/playground with a quick walk to the lake for fishing. Most of the other available sites in the road ahead of us had no tree coverage but closer to the lake had more trees and shade. OR, just get an actual tent site :) but they are all the way at the back of the campground, furthest from the lake so I actually preferred our site.

    Alder lake

    One of our favorites!!

    We arrived here early afternoon, which ended up being perfect timing as we could set up everything and catch sunset by the fire. The place is pretty easy to access with paved road the whole way there except for the last 1/2 mile where it is very bumpy. Some might say 4*4 but we made it just fine in our little Camry. There are two campsites located right outside of the park where you can park your car next to your tent but we opted to hike in. The first spot is less than 1/2 mile down the path, with the next three in the next mile. The campsites are very spacious with lots of room between you and other campers, and have a fire pit and some have picnic tables. We had a stellar time just hiking down the path and relaxing by the water. There’s no noise at night apart from the running water of the stream and we had a very peaceful weekend. We’re most definitely returning!

    Bowman Lake State Park Campground

    Woodsy, pet friendly, and private

    We booked this as our first real camping trip with our new trailer, can’t recommend that for everyone lol, but we had a lovely time.

    We had a back in site with a fire pit, picnic table, and no hook ups. It was gravel and not super level, but we made it work. There was a potable water spigot a few sites over and a bathroom with showers a short walk away.

    This is a great spot for tent camping, so if that’s your vibe this place is perfect. We had a lot of tree cover so we didn’t even need our air conditioning on during an 85 degree day. There are a lot of mosquitoes, but with some bug spray and a couple thermacell mosquito repellents, we were comfortable the whole time. I loved cooking over the fire, the pit had a cinder block wall around it to set a grate on and block the wind. We had a lot of privacy because the campgrounds next to us were empty, but even if there were people nearby there was about 20-30 ft between our site and the next.

    The lake is small but calm and great for kayaking. There is a little “beach” there for swimming, but know that it’s a soft lake bottom further out.

    We really liked it here and booked another visit in August.

    Keen Lake Resort Campground

    Amazing place.

    My family has been going there for years and finally decided that this was our final place and made it our seasonal camp g place 3 years ago. My boys absolutely love it and always have something to do. They have activity coordinators that make sure there is something to do for all ages every hour of the day! The security is great and patrol to make sure quiet hours are quiet to be courtiers to other campers that want quiet time. The bath houses are constantly being cleaned and restocked. They have cabins, houses and trailers for rent also for ones that don't want to rough it but want to spent time at the lake. There is a lodge that can be used as a party or wedding event. This place is our getaway place that we are glad to go to every weekend and truly enjoy every getaway minute!

    Lackawanna State Park Campground

    Peaceful tent camping

    Our family of four enjoyed the quiet of the tent camping area for two nights. There was plenty to keep our nature/loving kiddos engaged. Our only complaint was the lack of active enforcement of quiet hours — otherwise there would be no complaints.

    Russell Brook Campsites

    Clean, Friendly, and Right on the Water

    Loved this place! It's clean and well-maintained - even the restrooms. Every site is well-equipped with its own water, electricity, fire pit, and picnic table. The best part is the waterfront sites. We were right next to a small brook, and falling asleep to the sound of the water behind our tent was amazing. Everyone we met was super friendly. We will definitely be back!

    Lake Mocatek Campground

    Awesome, relaxing, perfect...

    Lake Mocatek Campground is well kept, on beautiful lake Mocatek and an absolute gem.

    They offer seasonal, winter storage and by the day rates, welcoming everything from tents to large Motorhomes.

    Wake up to morning coffee and enjoy seeing the deer in the Campground as well as other wildlife.

    All hookups are available, as are showers, bathrooms and laundry facility. Included is wifi. Cabins and travel trailer rentals are also available here. Don't forget to check out the on site country store and send the kids to pay video games or better yet, rent a rowboat for some fishing on the lake. Fishing from shore and RC boats are also permitted.

    Weekends and holidays bring gatherings to play bingo with awesome prizes and other gatherings to meet your neighbors.

    The pool is cool, clean and in the perfect area, mom and day can relax in the sun while the kids enjoy the pool.

    Overall Lake Mocatek Campground is an excellent place to spend a weekend or even a summer, I highly recommend it...

    Unadilla KOA

    Affordable KOA

    A bit off the beaten path for a KOA, but nearly sold out in early October nonetheless. Sites range from typical large rig to dispersed tents next to a creek. The tent sites with electric like the one we took used 240v 50A plugs, so we had to borrow a converter plug form the office for our 120v equipment. Only one bath house and it’s a bit dated. Very pet friendly including a dog play pen. Pool looked nice and was still open in early October.

Fishing opportunities: The region's waterways support diverse fishing experiences with multiple species available.

We were right next to a small brook," according to visitor Attila T.

Trail exploration: Multiple interconnected trail systems provide day hiking options throughout the area. At Chenango Valley State Park, visitors find "plenty of space to swim, and the walking trails are well maintained. You can also fish in the lake for trout and bass," according to Matt G.

What campers like

Natural seclusion: Chenango Valley State Park Campground offers sites that balance privacy with amenities. "We were just passing through on a rainy night, but this park would be a good choice for a multi-night stay. Parking pads in the non-electric section are dirt/grass," explains Mary S., who also notes the wildlife viewing potential: "We had four [deer] that were feeding behind our site in the morning."

Off-grid relaxation: Many visitors appreciate the disconnected atmosphere at certain campsites. At Oquaga Creek, "Oquaga is a great campground if you want to get off-the-grid for a little while. There are plenty of well-marked trails to hike. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked," shares Fred C.

Seasonal flexibility: Some glamping options near Deposit remain available during shoulder seasons. Lackawanna State Park Campground accommodates various preferences with "standard car camping tent sites, RV sites, and yurts and camper cabins. For those who like more rustic options, there are hike-in sites that are beautiful," according to Janet R.

What you should know

Limited connectivity: Cell phone service varies significantly throughout the region. At Chenango Valley State Park, "No cell service or wifi which didnt bother me but could some," notes Cheryl S. Plan communications accordingly.

Wildlife encounters: The area hosts active wildlife populations. As Mary S. warns at Chenango Valley, "Beware of raccoons. They are brazen thieves here...and every campground they inhabit. Just don't leave your food out."

Electrical setup considerations: Some campgrounds have nonstandard electrical configurations. At Unadilla KOA, "The tent sites with electric like the one we took used 240v 50A plugs, so we had to borrow a converter plug form the office for our 120v equipment," reports Deborah W.

Tips for camping with families

Water activities for kids: Lackawanna State Park Campground provides multiple water-based recreation options. "There is fishing and boating, and an amazing network if hiking and horse riding trails," mentions Janet R., who appreciates the family-friendly setup.

Recreation facilities: Many area campgrounds maintain dedicated children's areas. At Chenango Valley State Park, "Playground and shallow swimming area for children with life guards and a sandy beach and new bath house. They have fishing and boat rentals," according to Mary P.

Educational opportunities: Several parks offer learning activities for children. Chenango Valley provides "Lots of info about the glaciers that formed the lakes you can swim in. Great wildlife (wood ducks & kingfishers)," notes Dan N., making it suitable for educational family outings.

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: Roscoe Campsites provides RV-specific sites with infrastructure but varied privacy. "The sites were VERY close together, and there is nothing separating them. If you're looking for quiet seclusion, don't even remotely consider this spot as an option," cautions Justin H.

Power management: Electrical systems at older campgrounds may not handle high loads. At Lackawanna State Park, "Two electric hookups would trip the 50 amp circuit breaker on any load about 30 amps, which means the hookups are old and unmaintained," warns David.

Site surface types: RV pads vary significantly between parks. At Chenango Valley, "Parking pads in the electric loops (30 amps and 50 amps) have a good amount of gravel," notes Mary S., which helps prevent sinking during wet weather.
