    Camp Taylor Campground

    A beautiful forested campground with plenty of wildlife and birds.

    Easy access from Rt 80 and located close to the Lakota Wolf Preserve. With tours leaving them campground twice a day on both Saturday and Sundays for the wolf preserve, I was glad there was camping so close. The camping selection of sites is excellent with Cabins, Glamping tents, primitive tent sites and of course RV sites. I choose to stay in one of the glamping tents and was pleasantly surprised at the space inside the tent even with a double bed and two other fold out couches to beds. Water is available at the site. A small lake for swimming and boating. And lots of trails linking you to the Delaware river water gap area.

    Slumberland at the River's Edge

    Kayak camping at its finest, right on the upper Delaware River!

    Me and two friends do a yearly kayak trip down the Delaware river and have progressively moved north each year. This year, MDW of 2023, we were traveling between Narrowsburg, NY and Port Jervis, NY. Traveling 10-15 miles a day, we ended our second day of paddling at Slumberland on the Rivers Edge. The host put out a orange cone that made finding our campsite easy and a nice beach made unloading and loading kayaks pretty easy. The accommodations were top notch, with lights already on, and a table set, along with a grill, fire pit, and covered porch and canvas tent that housed two queen sized beds along with an electric stove and a woodstove. We were able to relax on the adirondack chairs on the deck as the sun went down and our fire (wood provided by host) and the porch lights remained glowing. It was nice change from camping in our tents and sleeping pads as we are used to along the river, as the beds were very comfortable, and the heater and canvas tent kept us warm during 40 degree temperatures at night. It was quiet and peaceful and you had your own space far from the other sites at slumberland (unlike many other campgrounds along the river). We all enjoyed our stay and had a great time and I would highly recommend to any kayak campers along the river looking for more than just a patch of grass to set up a tent on.

    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.

    Camp Taylor Campground

    Great as long as you behave

    Having been here on a few occasions I will say it is def a beautiful spot in many regards. However, there are some downsides.

    Positives: sites are decent sized with fire pits and picnic tables. easy access to hiking, convenient to a beautiful vineyard, peaceful region, and the most amazing wolf preserve is right next to you.  

    Negative: limited access to firewood. sites are picked clean, quiet hours are strongly enforced- which can be a good thing depending upon who you are, the lake is anything but refreshing.

    Ricketts Glen State Park Campground

    Waterfalls!!

    The biggest draw to this state park (which no one in Pennsylvania I spoke with seemed to know about) is the 22 waterfalls! We saw 18 of them on a four-mile moderate hike, but if you want to see the additional four, you could make it a seven-mile hike. The trails are very well marked. 

    We stayed in the large loop, which is a peninsula on Lake Jean. Many of the sites have lake views. The bathhouse was clean but not adequate for 73 sites. The campground was about ¾ full and there was often a wait in the bathroom. Showers looked reasonable but I did not use them.

    There were many tent campers in this loop, which does not allow pets (the other, smaller loop does allow pets). There are no hookups at all in the park. The water had been tested earlier in the season and unsafe levels of manganese were detected. All water spigots were shut off and covered but we were told it was safe to wash our dishes and brush our teeth. However, the water for the dishwashing sink was turned off as well as the water in the restroom at the trailhead. Since we had a reservation, we received a phone call in advance of our stay letting us know about this.

    There are trails to the beach, but we woke to rain the next morning, so we did not explore this. 

    One trash/recycle area a distance away from the campsites which seems typical for PA state parks. Alcohol is strictly forbidden– we were warned that if a ranger saw any alcohol outside of our vehicle, we would be cited. Quiet hours are 9 pm– 8 am, which is more restrictive than other state parks, however, some did not observe these quiet hours (a guitar-playing singing camper thought he was talented, but I disagree!)

    Pioneer Campground

    Don't rent Cabin 1

    Looks cute from the outside but once you get in you are immediately disappointed. The cabin had a smell, a wrinkly floor, and was very dark. There is a lack of any shelf or cabinets and only minimal hooks to put your things. Even the TV was on the dining table and you can't use the remote from the bed either. We used the table benches and top of fireplace to place our stuff. We also had no AC. The signs on the wall said make sure you turn off the AC, but no AC. Our friends stayed in cabin 6 and it was so cute, bright, and had AC. Our other friend stayed in 2 and it was much better than ours as well. 3 was better too.

    In addition they would not honor a AAA discount due to already paying, what?!

    Tobyhanna State Park Campground

    Pretty but cramped

    The lake is gorgeous and there are nice hiking trails, but sites are very small and close together. Let’s are allowed in less than half of the campground, which means all the dogs are in a smaller area and barking at each other more than other places. The no-pet area was practically empty when we were there midweek but the pets-allowed area was much more crowded than we would have liked.

    Also rules and signage are wildly confusing, lots of things contradict each other. Cell service exists but not great for remote work.

    Hickory Run State Park Campground

    Secluded/small site tenting

    Stayed two nights at two different sites. Heavily recommend getting campsites in the mid-60s. They come with a little more room and seclusion. Come with fire pit, parking spot, picnic table, flush toilet, running water. Competitive pricing.


Guide to Abington

Lackawanna State Park sits at about 1,400 feet elevation in Pennsylvania's northeastern highlands. Winters see approximately 55 inches of snowfall while summer temperatures average in the 70s with moderate humidity. Camping options span from densely wooded tent sites with limited amenities to modernized spaces with full hookups and year-round accessibility.

What to Do

Hiking trails: Lackawanna State Park Campground features extensive hiking opportunities on maintained paths through diverse terrain. "The trails are very well marked. We saw 18 of them on a four-mile moderate hike, but if you want to see the additional four, you could make it a seven-mile hike," notes a visitor to Ricketts Glen State Park Campground.

Lake swimming: Most campgrounds offer designated swimming areas with varying amenities. "The swimming beach looked nice. They do have boat rental," reports Amy V. from Lackawanna State Park Campground. Some locations maintain separate areas for fishing versus swimming.

Wildlife observation: The region provides opportunities to spot native wildlife. "We took a drive on 2 afternoons on a stone road through the woods to see the Boulder Field. It was a beautiful drive. We were on the lookout for bear, but only saw 3 deer," mentions a camper from Hickory Run State Park.

What Campers Like

Large, private sites: Many campgrounds offer spacious accommodations. "Our site and the others we saw were nicely shaded. Look forward to visiting again in the sun for a longer period," reports a reviewer from Lackawanna State Park Campground. Some locations feature more separation between sites than others.

Water activities: The region's lakes provide multiple recreation options. "We had SUPs and kayaks to take on the lake and our sites were right next to the boat launch. Each day we would paddle over to the swimming area on the lake," shares Shannon C. from Keen Lake Resort Campground.

Clean facilities: Maintained bathhouses rank high on camper priorities. "The bathrooms were the cleanest we've ever experienced at a campground. The showers are coin operated," notes Emily Z. from Keen Lake Resort Campground. Facility quality varies across parks with some offering modern amenities while others maintain more basic services.

What You Should Know

Bear activity: Wildlife encounters require proper food storage. "We were warned at check in that there have been a lot of bears in the area but never really thought that we would see one. As soon as we got to our site one came right up as we were setting up our tent," cautions Erik M. from Tobyhanna State Park Campground.

Water conditions: Lake quality varies by location and season. "The lake is very nice a little copper kind of like iced tea color but was very nice," observes one Tobyhanna State Park Campground visitor. Some parks restrict motorized watercraft while others maintain separate areas for different water activities.

Limited amenities: Remote sites often have fewer conveniences. "This place stated there was a fishing pond but it was a sad consideration for a pond," notes a camper from Honesdale-Poconos KOA. Research specific amenities before booking glamping in Abington accommodations.

Tips for Camping with Families

Playground access: Many campgrounds provide dedicated recreation areas. "There is a large open field in the loop we camped in with a swing set on it. This was nice for families with children," reports a Hickory Run State Park Campground visitor. Some locations offer more structured activities while others provide open spaces.

Educational opportunities: Look for parks with nature programs. "This is an amazing state park that has something for everyone. There is an environmental education center with programs," shares Janet R. from Lackawanna State Park. Planned activities vary by season and day of week.

Accessibility considerations: Terrain varies significantly between parks. "The hike is definitely not for the easily winded people, or anyone with bad knees, the hike down was pretty steep at some points but very well maintained," advises Anne P. from Ricketts Glen State Park Campground.

Tips from RVers

Hook-up reliability: Check electrical service capacity before arrival. "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 from Lackawanna State Park about certain sites.

Site leveling: Topography affects setup requirements. "Our full hookup site was large with table and fire ring, and required some leveling. Not much shade in the full hookup loop, so was happy to have electricity for A/C," reports James S. from Ricketts Glen State Park Campground.

Access challenges: Some luxury glamping in Abington area campgrounds have difficult approaches. "It is not very RV friendly as it can be challenging parking and setting up an RV at Oneida. Being that I am now an RV owner, it it a bit challenging to navigate the campground," notes Joe M. from Oneida Campground & Lodge.
