"We had lake front access to put kayaks in and fish which was awesome. Great walking path around lake for kids to ride bikes to parks or beach. Beach area was nice."
"Had a site close to the lake. Many sites (including mine) were not level. The sites sizes were a bit small and i would book during peak season. I would definitely return again off season."
$24 - $108 / night
"Great location lots of hiking trails right in the park and many more close by"
"So many beautiful trails and lots to do! We loved everything about this park except the actual campsites. The sites were very close together, and there wasn't a lot of privacy, which sucked for us."
$58 - $80 / night
"Good hiking trails were just a short walk away from our campsite. Would definitely go back again."
"No water but directly across from facilities with basin sinks outside for cleaning dishes, etc. Each yurt has a huge deck, 2 picnic tables and fire pit."
"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."
"The sites were fine and I liked the location. Next to the creek where you can fish trout (don’t forget to buy a license). About 3 miles stroll along the creek to Jim Thorpe."
$62 - $104 / night
"We stayed at Lakewood Park Campground in Barnesville, PA, for a few days for R&R. And we got it! "
"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."
"According to hikers on the AT, this is what they call Pennsylvania, as they hike through this section of the state. And Blue Rocks Campground doesn't dissapoint."
"Blue Rocks family campground is close to I78 however it is still off the beaten path. It is very peaceful to camp here as you have different types of environments."

"Knoebels campground is situated next to Knoebels amusement park and offers sites for tent campers and RVs, as well as cabins.
There is electricity at every site but not water."
"In addition to the campsites you have access to the campsite bathrooms which also have showers. They’re nothing special but they get the job done and are cleaned daily by staff."
GuideThe name says it all. It has boulders and woods. The spots are tight to get into but the staff will offer to park your camper using your vehicle. I let them park mine and I'm really glad I did. It was super tight. Gorgeous place though. They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf.
We stayed there in August 2017.
GuideStayed here 2 nights without a reservation. We were in the D loop which is rustic with no hookups. Quiet, very few people mid-week. Spacious sites. Bathrooms were just okay. Muddy floors - don’t know how often floors are cleaned. Showers were odd - one large stall but no separate dressing area so you have to be very careful so as not to get your stuff wet during the shower. I would stay here again.
TravelerArrived mid-afternoon, visitor center/Ranger office was closed, our reservation sheet was available in a mailbox near the door with instructions. No human contact. Park was not mowed, seemed a little rough & unattended. 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. The beach was a little more than a half mile walk from our site.
ScoutLots of good things here. Large sites, new buildings, including the office and all the bathrooms. Only thing missing is a pool. You’re not allowed to swim in the lake although you’re allowed to use floats. The area has not much to do unless you would like the state park, which is close by. Kind of surprised they allow fireworks, as we were here on July 4 weekend. Would definitely come back.
ScoutVery open, plenty of space. most campgrounds have previously stocked wood from other people, makes setting up very convenient. lots of ticks tho so get your spray
TravelerVery clean, quiet, nice level sites. Beautiful rentals are available. Affordable!
GuideDefinitely got lucky with site F03 for Starlink. The rest of the campground has a lot of tree cover. Beautiful grounds and clean. Site is gravel and pretty level. Water pressure is pretty low and the sewer pipe is a little high but all around a really solid experience.
GuideThis is a trailer park for RVs. Virtually all of the sites are occupied with permanently parked RVs. Most sites have years of accumulated junk around the sites. It is not inherently bad, but it’s not a great choice for traveling RVers.
I was here for 3 days while hiking on the Appalachian Trail. I was assigned a site that is in the ‘front yard’ of a permanent trailer, under their deck. My site was just un-level enough that I didn’t quite have enough blocks to get my trailer level. It was conveniently located beside the dumpsters that were overflowing when I arrived and weren’t emptied while I was here.
The bath house is outdated, wasn’t filthy but wasn’t cleaned while I was here, and smells like a Porta-potty after a county fair. Because there are really only permanent residents staying here, I suspect there isn’t much need to keep up with the bath house.
It’s a noisy park, but not in an obnoxious way. It’s noisy in the way that a neighborhood with kids is noisy. A significant number of the residents are working class Spanish families with a fair number of kids. That part was cool….gave the place a nice vibe. Waking up to residents mowing their own lawns in an RV park was a new one for me. Not bad, just unexpected.
The staff was courteous during my visit, and I believe they may be trying to improve this location. As a permanent rental option for people trying to have an affordable place to live, I’m sure it fills a need. The park was at well above 80% occupancy with permanent units. But if you are look(no for a more traditional RV park, I recommend looking elsewhere.
GuideGreat for a quick one night camping stop. Clean bathroom and shower with hot water. Very clear camp site.
