"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."
"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."

GuideStayed October 14 without reservations because website showed lots of availability. Office was closed (M-F 8-4) so submitted honor system envelope with cash and stayed at Site 041 on Carpenter loop. Shower building was a short walk and was spacious enough. Water temp didn’t quite reach hot but was warm enough.
Electric kept on tripping breaker.
TravelerThe state park is beautiful. The site was very nice. The park itself is very big with many activities available such as boat rentals and a swimming pool. There's also an amphitheatre which hosts specials. During our stay the only activity we made it to was the pool. The main reason we didn't do more was the distance. We have a motorhome so we didn't have additional vehicles to get to and from places. We walked to the park which according to my Fitbit was 1.5 miles away. That doesn't seem too bad until you realize it's mostly hills in both directions! We are a fairly active young family who has no problem with a bit of a walk but after that experience we decided to just spend the remainder of our trip hanging out at our site. It's a good thing we only stayed 2 nights because our 10 year old might've lost his mind with boredom if we stayed longer. Overall, the site we had was great and I'd recommend it. My husband and I may come back for a couples date weekend.
GuideStayed in the fairly new ledges loop that are all full hookup sites. Nice large sites, beautiful area, friendly rangers. Nice play area for kids, water craft rentals, nice lake. Plenty of picnic areas for day trips.
TravelerKeen lake is the most cleanest friendliest family environment campsite you will ever find. Beautiful lake great fishing. Activities all day long for the children. Great general store that has everything in it that is open from sun up to sundown. The nachos and ice cream are the best. Super friendly staff. It's big they have tent sites right along the lake the lake is huge there's so much I could say but I would run out of room. I started coming here when I was four and I am now 46 years old and it is just the best place ever. It will always have a special place in our heart. Look forward every year to coming here no matter what age my kids are they all have a blast. From tent sites to RVs to cottages to glamping you name it they have it highly recommend it. Recently went camping to somewhere a little bit closer to home and it's nothing compared to here. It's like comparing Macy's to Walmart. You will never regret coming here. So pack your family up and have a great time.
TravelerWent tent camping for 3 nights, easy to get to, bathrooms were clean and so was the site. Sites were a good size and not on top of each other. Firewood was available in the area. But not much for stores so pack everything in before.
LegendThis is an amazing state park that has something for everyone. There is an environmental education center with programs, there is fishing and boating, and an amazing network if hiking and horse riding trails. There are several campgrounds, with tremendous variety for every camping style. There are standard car camping tent sites, RV sites, and yurts and camper cabins. For those who like more rustic options, there are hike-in sites that are beautiful and not far from the parking area. The campsites are nestled in a deep shady mature forest, and peaceful and quiet due to the wooded aspect and spacing of sites (at least for me, in September in a hike-in site not far from the regular campground). It is nice to have such a fine camping and outdoor recreation opportunity within an easy drive of the city of Clarks Summit, so probably a great weekend getaway for local folks, but a wonderful stopover for anyone on a road trip through northern PA as it is not far off Interstate 81. I was there only one day, but would like to be back to explore the trails!
GuideFirst trip of the season and we were amazed. Not crowded this time of year, serene, and perfect weather. We collected our own firewood as there is none for sale in the state park. We thought that was going to be a problem but we were okay with it!
Hiked 2 short easy trails (Little Falls and the Conservation Nature Loop- which we drove to). Absolutely beautiful! Bathrooms were clean and water was hot in the shower.
We will be visiting again!
LegendNice state park. Wooded campgrounds. Nice sites. Boating and fishing.
ScoutWe have camped here in tents and with our teardrop trailer. All of our experiences have been good. Clean bathrooms are essential and even when the large campground is full the bathrooms have been clean. It is a state park and so the campsites are often close, but we don’t mind. We’d be somewhere else if isolation was what we wanted.

The area sits at elevations between 1,300-1,500 feet with moderate summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F. Trail systems throughout the state forests and parks connect directly to camping areas designed specifically for equestrian use.
Paddle on pristine lakes: Promised Land State Park provides multiple lakes for water recreation. "The lake is crystal clear and the beach is spotless. You absolutely have to bring a kayak/inflatable boat, but if you don't own one, don't worry, you can rent one," notes Debbie W. at Pickerel Point Campground.
Hike forest trails: The region offers trail networks ranging from easy to moderate difficulty. At Lackawanna State Park Campground, campers appreciate the diverse hiking options. "The trails are fun for relaxing hikes, we especially like the one right along the lake," shares Michael from Lackawanna State Park.
Fish in stocked waters: Multiple fishing spots exist throughout the region's lakes and streams. "The sites were a good size and not on top of each other. Firewood was available in the area," reports Siobhan D. from Lower Lake Campground Beechwood Area, where fishing is popular among visitors.
Spacious equestrian sites: Horse owners appreciate the dedicated facilities at equestrian campgrounds. At Lower Lake Campground Beechwood Area, David S. states: "We have camped here in tents and with our teardrop trailer. All of our experiences have been good. Clean bathrooms are essential and even when the large campground is full the bathrooms have been clean."
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities. "The bathrooms were the cleanest we've ever experienced at a campground," says Emily Z. at Keen Lake Resort Campground, adding "*The showers are coin operated."
Lakefront camping: Sites with water access receive high praise from visitors. At Pickerel Point, Carolyn M. describes: "I spent the night in the Promised Land State Park at Pickerel Point and it was so pretty and quiet. There was a bathroom with flush toilets nearby and the campsites were well spaced apart. Mine overlooked the water and had a gorgeous sunset."
Seasonal restrictions: Many campgrounds operate on limited schedules. "This state park Is only 20 minutes from home and we love spending time there. Almost every campsite is close to the water. Our site had kayak access and that was a real bonus. It is a spotless facility. Evan in August it was not crowded," explains Aida K. about Pickerel Point.
Alcohol policies: Most Pennsylvania state parks prohibit alcohol consumption. "The only drawback is no alcohol allowed, but most State Parks are like that I think," mentions Nancy L. from Pickerel Point Campground.
Cell service limitations: Remote campgrounds often have limited connectivity. At Tuscarora State Park Campground, Zoltan P. notes: "No cell service at all unless you drive up to the top of the mountain... No noise pollution. No light pollution. No large towns anywhere near here all towns with very minimal population."
Beach and swimming access: Families with children appreciate the swimming options. "The kids had a great time! Bathrooms could be cleaned more often but relatively clean. The museum and crafts were closed due to Covid so that was a bummer but we found other things to do. Love that the road is paved, it makes it easy for the kids to ride bikes, skate etc," shares Paula R. from Pickerel Point.
Activity planning: Many parks offer organized recreational programs. "My kids really loved having a pool to swim in, in addition to the lake," reports Emily Z. from Keen Lake. She continues, "There is a lot for younger kids to do and the grounds are pet friendly which was a huge plus for us."
Site selection for privacy: Family campers recommend researching specific site locations. At Lackawanna, Janet R. explains: "There are several campgrounds, with tremendous variety for every camping style. There are standard car camping tent sites, RV sites, and yurts and camper cabins. For those who like more rustic options, there are hike-in sites that are beautiful and not far from the parking area."
Full-hookup availability: Many equestrian campgrounds near Plymouth provide complete RV services. "We stayed in the fairly new ledges loop that are all full hookup sites. Nice large sites, beautiful area, friendly rangers," shares cheryl M. from Lackawanna State Park.
Site leveling challenges: Some RV sites require additional preparation. "Camped here for a weekend, and probably one of my least favorite sites so far. Hiking trails are good, the lake is nice, but there is no privacy at the campsites; they're all very small and packed tight. Two electric hookups would trip the 50 amp circuit breaker on any load about 30 amps," warns David from Lackawanna.
Weather considerations: RV campers should prepare for seasonal weather variations. "This was my second visit in the cold months. Sites have electric but no water. Spigot close by. Heated cozy bathhouse with clean showers," shares Mara S. about Pickerel Point during winter camping.
