"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."
$20 - $100 / 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)."
$20 - $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."
$10 / night
"There is no electric or water hookup but the trails are nice, it's quiet, and there's a lake to fish. There's also swimming down the Rd at a nearby creek."
"Absolutely love Moon Lake. Place has some of the best mountain bike trails in northeast pa. Camping is primitive but has spots big enough for RVs. Also. It’s free!"
$20 - $79 / night
"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."
"Campground has cabins and yurts, pull in sites for RV’s and strictly walk in tent sites. There is a beautiful lake and a very large pool."
$20 - $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)."
$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"
"Bathrooms were close by and as clean as you can expect when camping. I’d certainly go back."
"We are in a transient site which doesn't have much shade and it is close to the main road (although separated by some trees and brush).
The campers and campground are very quiet. "
"The campsites were clean, adequately spaced and many positioned along side a creek. The bathhouse (hooray) was great. Recently renovated, they were extremely, clean and dry."
"There are 3 resident geese who wander around near the creek and lakes. It was too cool to use the pool while we were visiting but it was clean and well cared-for. "
$17 / night
"Campground is based around kids, there’s a lot for them to do!"
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.
GuideClean site, quiet away from major roads. Accessible boat launch. Very open to other sites.
TravelerExcellent family quiet area. Pool boats, hike, relax
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
ScoutMy first time to Oneida was amazing. The staff and people there were welcoming and accepting i felt the bond the community has there its something special and im hoping eventually i can get a parcel of land there i would like to be a seasonal there. Its a place where you can be yourself and express yourself without fear or worry of judgement by your peers. Ive never been some where that felt so inviting and peacefull. Im going to Oneida again it was an amazing experience. Thank you so much everyone who made my trip and visit there so special.
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.
GuideWhen we arrived we were surprised at how many seasonal campsites there were. We came on a holiday weekend and thought it would be rowdy and loud. So far, nice and quiet.
