Set along the eastern edge of Carbon County, Don Laine Campground sits outside Palmerton with views toward the surrounding mountain ridgelines and open countryside. The campground runs from May 1 through November 1 and accommodates everything from tent campers to large rigs up to 65 feet, with full electric, water, and sewer hookups available. Sites are spacious. A dump station, drinking water, showers, and WiFi round out the utility side of the setup.
The activity calendar here sets this campground apart from more stripped-down options. Weekends bring organized events for multiple age groups, including bingo, music, and tricky tray events. An on-site restaurant means campers are not locked into cooking at their site, and the camp store carries enough supplies to cover most forgotten items. A heated pool, playground, and golf cart rentals add to the draw for families. Reviewers also note horseback riding is occasionally available on the property.
Crowd patterns follow a predictable rhythm: weekends fill up, while weekdays run considerably quieter. One reviewer notes the staff creates an atmosphere where "you feel like you're a part of the family," which reflects the social, community-oriented character of the place. Deer and rabbits are regularly spotted in the evenings. Reservations are strongly recommended for weekend stays. Pets are welcome.
Nearby, Chestnut Lake Campground and The Woods Camping Resort give campers additional reference points when comparing options in the region. Don Laine suits those who want a full-service, activity-driven stay with reliable amenities and a consistent returning crowd.
