What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Some campgrounds offer limited winter operations. Andrea F. notes about Mohican State Park Campground: "Camping in the off season is our favorite time of year. This particular park has potable water on by the dump station and the dump station is open. The water at the full hook up sites are turned off."
Site layouts: Camp areas vary significantly in layout and spacing. At Pleasant Hill Lake Park, Michelle H. advises, "The new F sites have concrete pads and plenty of space. Only lacking in mature trees to offer shade. Area E has plenty of room and mature trees, but are electric only and the shower house is older."
Cell service gaps: Connectivity varies throughout the region. One camper reports, "No cell service with Verizon at this park," regarding Mohican State Park, which may affect planning for those needing to stay connected.
Tips for camping with families
