909 Reviews

Campgrounds around Jermyn, Pennsylvania provide a mix of state park and private recreational facilities within easy reach of the Scranton metropolitan area. Lackawanna State Park Campground, located approximately 10 miles west of Jermyn, serves as a central camping hub with tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and yurts. The camping landscape extends to nearby alternatives like Keen Lake Resort Campground in Waymart and Clayton Park RV Escape in Lake Ariel, both offering developed facilities for various camping styles. Most established campgrounds in the region accommodate both tent and RV camping, with several properties featuring cabin rentals for those seeking more sheltered accommodations.

Pennsylvania's seasonal patterns significantly shape the camping experience near Jermyn, with most developed campgrounds operating from mid-April through mid-October. Lackawanna State Park follows a standard state park season running "from the second Friday in April to the third Sunday in October," making weather planning essential for visitors. Full hookup sites for RVs are available at multiple locations, though reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends and holidays. The region's woodland terrain creates naturally shaded campsites at most facilities, particularly at the state parks. A camper noted that Lackawanna State Park offers "wooded campgrounds with nice sites. Boating and fishing options available."

Many campers highlight the lake access as a primary appeal of camping in the Jermyn area. Lackawanna State Park features a swimming beach, boat rentals, and fishing opportunities that supplement its camping facilities. Several reviews mention the family-friendly atmosphere and recreational options, with one visitor writing that their family "enjoyed the quiet of the tent camping area for two nights. There was plenty to keep our nature-loving kiddos engaged." Campsite privacy varies significantly between properties, with state park campgrounds generally offering more natural separation between sites than private campgrounds. Clayton Park RV Escape receives consistent praise for its quiet environment, with a reviewer describing it as an "excellent family quiet area" with options for "pool, boats, hike, relax." Most campgrounds in the region maintain restroom and shower facilities, though cleanliness and maintenance standards can vary by property and season.

    Russell Brook Campsites

    Clean, Friendly, and Right on the Water

    Loved this place! It's clean and well-maintained - even the restrooms. Every site is well-equipped with its own water, electricity, fire pit, and picnic table. The best part is the waterfront sites. We were right next to a small brook, and falling asleep to the sound of the water behind our tent was amazing. Everyone we met was super friendly. We will definitely be back!

    Dingmans Campground — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

    Beautiful, wooded, campsites

    I’m stopping through for the night and so grateful that I did. This campground is lovely. The spots are wooded so you have a bit of privacy. And you are so close to activities throughout the park. I’m changing my schedule to enjoy the campground and park a bit tomorrow.

    Salt Springs State Park Campground

    Worked for me

    I stayed in late September in one of the drive in spots. There were no other campers bc of the season- and it’s mid week. I love this park and it’s close to my house so I just wanted to crash there and wake up early to hike. It was quiet all night. The bathrooms are very far from tne sites and it was visible where some people had relieved themselves in the bushes. There is no potable water anywhere so bring some. I enjoyed it but during the on season or busy times tnere is zero privacy between sites other than sites 13 and 14. Def wouldn’t stay here during summer for that reason.

    High Point State Park Campground

    Relaxing and Well-Maintained

    Stayed 2 nights and it was really nice. Camping for summer is pretty limited to Sawmill Lake, as the other locations are for groups or winter camping. Camps are secluded from each other and most if not all have an elevated space to put tents or chairs. Each place comes with a lamp hang, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Bathrooms are spaced out. No running water except for pump founded outside of the bathrooms. Toilets are pump flushed. Showers are only located INSIDE High Point State Park, not throughout the campsites, but entry is free for campers. One hiking trail is accessible in Sawmill campground, 3 others are accessible on the road outside of the campground and the rest are located inside the park. When you arrive you have to check in with the park office for your campsite tag. Hours are 8-4. Park officials come through the campsites pretty regularly, a few times a day which is nice. Areas are clean and well maintained.

    Cranberry Run Campground

    Don’t Stay here!!

    It’s not a campground. It’s where people stash their rvs, some of whom seem to live here permanently. Caretaker was rude. Sites were all rocky and many on steep inclines. Complete waste of our time. Plus, the site looks nothing like the pictures they post, which is an area you can’t camp at. Don’t stay here.

    Salt Springs State Park Campground

    Adventures!

    3 couples all ventured to Salt Springs and split the largest cabin for a few days. We electricity from a few outlets in the cabin if needed. Let me tell you that we spent very little time inside. We enjoyed the trials, waterfalls, and firepit cooked meals outside! Hemlock Grove, Penny Rock, and the saltspring kept us entertained! We cooled off under a waterfall :) I'm looking forward to visiting again! Bring some hotdogs/burgers for a yummy meal after a good day in PA!
