Lakewood Park Campground

Checkin was quick and no fuss. Friendly staff, grounds look well taken care of. The pond is a very nice amenity. Convenient FHU off interstate 81. Reasonably priced.

We stayed at Lakewood Park Campground in Barnesville, PA, for a few days for R&R. And we got it! 

THINGS I LIKED: 

• This place has the best of an old-fashioned campground with a great layout. But it offers modern amenities and utilities in a natural setting. 

• Family owned and operated by folks who take great pride in offering a really nice place to stay. 

• About 30-minutes to Jim Thorpe, PA, or Lehigh Valley Zoo. 

• The place is filled with mature shade trees which offer some protection from the sun and a beautiful setting. But they take great care to remove problem trees and branches from the sites and roads. 

• Fun activities during our stay included bingo and a food truck. 

• Our site(#74) was plenty big enough for our 45’ motorhome and Jeep plus lots of room to spread out. 

• The park is relatively new. Everything is clean and in great working order. All kinds of maintenance was going on throughout each day, and it shows. 

• I contacted the campground by email after 11pm to inquire about availability to arrive a day early. I sent an email rather than a phone call as I had no expectation of a response until at least the next day. They replied within minutes, adjusted my reservation, sent a revised confirmation email, and didn’t ask for payment until I arrived for check-in. Wow, that’s top-notch service! 

THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH: 

• Traveling to this campground requires driving several steep grades(8+%). Do your best, drive slowly, and stay focused. Of course, it’s not the campground’s fault, just something to be aware of when planning to visit. 

WOULD WE COME BACK? 

• Absolutely, this is a nice place.

The site was clean and easy to pull into. The staff in the store was super nice and friendly. The store was stock with a decent amount of stuff but was on the small side. The lake is was nice and had a small dock perfect for fishing.

We planned a last minute trip here and had a really nice time. It’s brand new as of 2021 and as such has lots of modern amenities! The hookups are excellently done and the fire rings all have adjustable grates — this was very handy! Sites are relatively level, ours was a little challenging but not too bad. They are in the process of adding lots more sites up away from the lake in the woods plus 2 bath houses. The sites along the lake are great, but be aware most of them are seasonal. There are only 2 on the lake that aren’t (3 and 7) 25 is also non-seasonal is close to the lake. We were in 3 and enjoyed it. Small store with the necessities and the campground has a BEAUTIFUL venue for weddings / events. There are cabins, tent sites and RV sites on site. They have paddle boats and kayaks and you can fish in the lake. The view was beautiful. We would definitely go back
