Best Campgrounds near Peckville, PA

900 Reviews

Northeastern Pennsylvania features several established campgrounds near Peckville, with options concentrated around Lackawanna State Park and Keen Lake. The region includes developed campgrounds with both tent and RV sites, cabin rentals, and glamping accommodations like yurts. Lackawanna State Park Campground, located approximately 10 miles west of Peckville, provides wooded campsites with electric hookups alongside cabin and yurt rentals. Keen Lake Resort Campground, situated east of Peckville near Waymart, offers waterfront camping with tent, RV, cabin, and glamping options on a large recreational lake.

Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, typically from mid-April through mid-October. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for summer weekends and holiday periods when facilities reach capacity. Many campgrounds offer full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer connections, though availability varies by location. The region experiences typical northeastern seasonal patterns with warm summers and cold winters that limit camping seasons. Several state park campgrounds enforce quiet hours and have specific pet policies. As noted in feedback on The Dyrt, "Sites were a little close to each other, but others offer plenty of space, including our site (52) on this trip. One of the biggest spots we have ever had."

Campers consistently highlight the wooded, shaded nature of sites throughout the area, particularly at Lackawanna State Park where forest cover provides privacy and natural ambiance. Water features represent significant attractions, with both Lackawanna State Park's lake and Keen Lake offering fishing, boating, and swimming opportunities. Family-friendly amenities appear in many reviews, with multiple campgrounds providing planned activities and recreation facilities. A review mentioned that Lackawanna State Park has "an amazing network of hiking and horse riding trails" and "tremendous variety for every camping style" including standard car camping, RV sites, and more rustic hike-in options. Bathroom and shower facilities receive mixed reviews across properties, with cleanliness and maintenance varying by location and time of season.

    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!

    Worthington State Forest Campground — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

    Nice campground loud campers

    Great open spot with some shade, depending on when you go we have noticed there tends to be a lot of loud disrespectful people who are there to party not camp. It’s nice to be on the Delaware and not many campgrounds have water access or a boat ramp so that’s a plus. Showers, sinks, and toilets are available.

    Peaceful Valley Campsite

    STAY FAR AWAY!!!

    Stay clear!  Owner is a rude, nasty, vile human being!  He doesn’t care about paying costumers, they are a nuisance to him!  He overcharges customers constantly.  Cabins and bathrooms are filthy.  0 stars

    Kittatinny Campground

    Not worth the money or time

    If we could rate this a 0 we would.  We were expecting a weekend of kayaking and relaxation when in fact we got an overcrowded, noisy and dirty weekend that was overpriced.  I will give the river a 10, it was beautiful, welcoming and refreshing in the warm sun.  We arrived at about 8:00 in the evening with several camps blaring different genre of music, not a problem, considering we still like it as loud as possible sometimes, but it didn't end at quiet time, it continue until well over midnight.  The campsites are so close together it was like being packed into a sardine can.  The campsite across the pathway didn't have their dog on a lead and we woke up with a pile of dog excrement next to our trailer, that was a howdy-do morning for ya.  We were super excited to take our kayaks out on the river, paddle up stream and float down with our pup, but we were told that we couldn't launch from this location.  (What kind of crap is that)  This location was a receiving location only and "absolutely no launching" was allowed.  If you are looking for a party spot to come with your friends, this is definitely the place for you!  If your looking for a chill place to camp next to the river where you can tube, kayak and enjoy your peaceful weekend, this is NOT the place.  The amount of money we spent for 2 nights was outrageous for such a sucky weekend, will not be going back!
