"There is an environmental education center with programs, there is fishing and boating, and an amazing network if hiking and horse riding trails."
"The sites were a little close to each other and where we were in the park was a mixed use area. So we had an RV next to us with the Genny running all day."
"I stayed on a lakeside electric/water site for 5 nights in August 2020. It was SO BEAUTIFUL. We had SUPs and kayaks to take on the lake and our sites were right next to the boat launch. "
"We didn’t have a view of the lake, instead we were in someone’s back yard lol. It wasn’t a big deal. The site was well maintained and flat which were the most important."
$24 - $48 / night
"Was also an easy back in site as there’s an adjacent road (to parking and the amphitheater) right in front of it. All sites only have electric and only certain allow pets."
"Large, wooded sites, good bathhouse, nice trails close by. A little highway noise, but dark and quiet at night. Very peaceful place."
$0 - $17 / night
"This campground was very nice and had so much hiking in and around it. They were very helpful with getting us a site since it was so last minute on a holiday weekend Will be visiting again"
$17 / night
"Campground is based around kids, there’s a lot for them to do!"
$24 - $164 / night
"The biggest draw to this state park (which no one in Pennsylvania I spoke with seemed to know about) is the 22 waterfalls!"
"Many of the sites looked close to the road and not very private but we were in site 63 which was pretty private(though we were lucky neighboring site 62 was empty)."
$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."
$24 - $43 / night
"Breathtaking views from nearby trails and nearby Big Pocono State Park. The park staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about nearby trails and best places to get the most out of the views!"
"Scenic state park with a lake. You can swim in the lake in the summer or do a 5-mile hike around the lake along well-marked walk paths. There are at least two parking lots(no parking fees)."
$24 - $58 / night
"Pros: -beautiful new bathrooms -private lakeside walk-in sites -beavers! Far away but exciting nonetheless -the Conservation Walk on the island is short, easy, and beautiful. Well-marked."
"Some sites are right on the lake, just put the kayak on the shore, and you're ready for an early morning paddle."
ScoutBeautiful and fun. Kind staff. Hoping for a dog park in the future.
GuideTrailhead parking was chill for a night. No trouble. Tons of hiking. Went down Saw Creek trail to a marsh.
ScoutNice spot but don’t bring your 34 foot camper trailer. Could only back in and it was a tight curved driveway with ruts. I clipped a tree with the trailer. Also it didn’t show that there was another camp site that close. It’s was within eye sight.
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.
ScoutWe got 3 tent lots & they were kind enough to put all of us together. We had an awesome weekend & can’t wait to return!
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.
RangerOtter Lake Campground was one of the best campgrounds we went to.... pros and cons
Pros-
-Beautiful Lake with fishing & boating
-Pools indoor and outdoor
-Great playgrounds
-Great biking even a trail around the like
-lots of activities planned
-awesome store stocked well
-the area had alot of hiking close
-food truck at certain times in the lot
CONS
-security was so annoying about riding bikes after a certain time ... we were actually told we couldn't play bingo because we wouldn't be done before it started to get dark so bring our bikes back then try to come back... huh
-secuirty would stalk the playground and tell the kids to leave it was getting dark... never went to a campground where you couldn't ride a bike at night.
Spots : wooded areas which we love, spacious, bathhouse all around that were clean, spots around Lake.
We liked this campground even if the security was a little crazy. We would go back if we did revisit campgrounds.

TravelerExcellent family quiet area. Pool boats, hike, relax
