Jim Thorpe Camping Resort

On the surface the campground is average. The secret it packs is the great town in which it shares it's name. You are 5 minutes from the wonderful town of Jim Thrope. Can't say the campground offers too much other than the basic campground experience. Though if coupled that with the opportunity to experience Jim Thrope, it sets the Jim Thrope Camping Resort apart. 

  

My son, brother, and nephew tent camped. The tent sites are not very defined, level or rock free. Makes it fun searching for a good position within the site, kinda like roughing it in the actual wild... so not really a complaint. Sites are not very private or secluded. I could personally use a bit more privacy, not enough to be a deal breaker. Bathhouses are rougher, but usable and not dirty per se. Just rustic. 

  

A major pro is access to the Switchback Trail from the campground. A wonderfully scenic trail.

  

Overall I would and plan on returning.

Decent campground in a wonderful location 

Very tightly packed but a cool campground. We had a small pop up trailer with available hookups. They also have cabins. This was mainly a seasonal campground. Bathrooms were great! Showers clean. Love the area of Jim Thorpe.

Fall trip

This was our first trip with our new to us jayco. We stayed in site 20. Easy to back in. Didn’t need leveling blocks as our site was nice and level. Stayed Thursday through Sunday. It was chilly in the mornings and evenings and warm and sunny during the day. Perfect fall weather. We had a wonderfully relaxing time! We will be back. 

Maiden voyage

This place was pretty nice. The bath houses were really clean. The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars is cause the spots were a little tight.

Beautiful area

The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is because our site wasn’t level and it took hours to get it right. After that... we had the best time!! Tons of trails and creeks. So much fun!!

Almost perfect 

Very family friendly and the staff are so nice. Very nice grounds and a lot to do for families. Highly Recommend this location!!

First Trip for us Newbies

We had a great camp spot! We stayed 2 nights and it was actually the more secluded camp site. I do see however that there are definitely cramped camping sites. The staff were friendly and there were flushable toilets. The location was so great because it’s just right above Jim Thorpe!
