  Thousand Trails Timothy Lake North

  Needs lots of tlc

  First, as a Thousand Trails member, I didn't have to pay. So far, after visiting 6 rv parks, I do have to say, this one is on the bottom of my list of nice campgrounds.

  First the good: there are lots of sites here and the grounds range from being near neighbors to more spread out in the valley. There are lots of trees and the roads are paved which makes it perfect to ride your bicycle. The playground is great for the kids. They have a nice pool.

  Now the bad: it's a run down campground. It doesn't look like they have not done any maintenance to the place. The bathrooms look like standard park bathrooms, the general store barely has any items. The kids arcade and activity center has 4 arcade games and barely anything to do but the ball center. The main activity center is closed down. The building that used to hold the water park is abandoned and clutter everywhere. The lake and gazebo have been vandalized.

  Also note, if you want peace and quiet, stay away from the tent area. Those who stay there are more of the NY crowd and are very festive.

  All in all, we had a nice time. No problems at all.

  Appalachian Camping Resort

  Never Again

  The worst Thousand Trails campground. Check in not till 3pm, office closed at 4. No cell service to call anyone. No wifi, now what. Campground almost empty and they pack you all in one area.

  Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South

  Better than expected

  First time using our complementary 1 year Thousand trails pass. It’s a find your own site park. Some are a bit narrow, but I found a nice pull thru. Only real activities here for kids are pool and shuffleboard. Very quite here which I hear is opposite from the North park right up the road. Staff is nice. Would come back

  Pocono Vacation Park

  Location

  Great location to everything in the poconos. Mostly long term residents. Sites are dirt/grass and are not level, but they are long which makes up for the front to back level issue. Lots of weekenders and vacationers.

  Pine Hill RV Park

  No Frills, Nice Campground

  This is a no-frills RV Park. The campsites are nice, the park is clean, and convenient to I-78. It is set in a rural area surrounded by fields and pastures which makes for a peaceful setting. Roads and campsites are gravel and very easy for RVs of any size to navigate the roads and sites. The majority of their sites are pull-thrus catering to the many RVs that stop for a night or two. 

  Our site was level and nicely graded. We didn’t have any trouble getting in and out and all the hook-ups were well-placed and worked well (including the cable). While there are some nice large pine trees, they were trimmed and not an issue driving through the park or at our site. The only problem with the trees was the pine sap everywhere that we stuck to our shoes and we tracked everywhere. Amenities include an older style playground, horseshoe pits, manicure golf, and volleyball court. The store/office is pretty well stocked with an array of items and an ice cream parlor makes pizza (which was very popular as many people talked about it). The park also has rental cabins, laundry and restrooms. 

  The only real downside of this park was the price (58/night for 50 amp full-hookup) and a bit of road noise from the interstate and the wifi was really poor. We stayed at this park because we wanted to eat at a nearby restaurant called Bolete(which is one of our all-time favorite restaurants) and this was the closest campground. Overall, we really liked how clean the park was. The sites were nice, albeit, pretty close to each other. For a one or two-night stay, this park is nice but I wouldn’t call it a destination park.

  Panther Lake Camping Resort

  Mainly seasonal

  Majority of sites are season all campers with LOTS of cottages. Went early in the season so many had not been maintained in months. Only a handful of full hook up sites surrounded by seasonal cottages. Other area of the place had water and electric but it would be hard to get in/out of if it had rained a lot as it was all on soft grass. Lake was not easy to get to due to the messy walkways and mud. Overall was not impressed. Felt like a trailer park.

  Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South

  spacious and quiet

  This was the first campground we stayed in with our Thousand Trails membership and, because sites are first come first serve, we weren't sure what to expect. Thankfully, there were many sites available and they were all good sizes. The campground is well laid out- very roomy. It was May and an extremely cool, rainy weekend, so we didn't get to do much in the area, but I would definitely recommend it. As I understand it, we could have accessed the water park at Timothy Lake North, as well.

  Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South

  Good campground, bad cell service

  Check-in was quick and easy in spite of Covid precautions. This is a first-come, first-serve park in the Thousand Trails system so we had to drive around looking for a spot. The check-in process alerted us to the sites that had issues such as no water or cable(there were 5 or 6 of them). No issues navigating my 32' coach through the roads. There were a number of spots that could have easily fit our rig(although a few would have been too tight). The site was level with good power and water. Camp was pretty well maintained and very full. Campers were polite and friendly and probably about 50% or more of them fulltime or seasonal. The amenities were all closed so can't comment on those. A big HOWEVER, though: the cell service for most providers is practically non-existent. I understand this is not the park's fault and some would say that this is"real" camping-- try telling that to the two millennials that were staying with us. I would definitely return except for that.

  Thousand Trails Timothy Lake North

  No. Just no.

  This place is a serious dump with very rude full time campers squatting here. We were pelted by sticks and stones on the 4th of July by the workers attempting to weedwack the stone areas. The full time squatters places are a ramshackle mess, they like to ride through blaring awful music all hours of the day and night…including midnight and 1am. Other squatters think everyone should like their music and play it from their cars while parked at ridiculous levels. No policies are enforced including dogs on leashes, picking up your dog’s poop, or the speed limits. We had to ask ourselves multiple times if we were in the poconos or ghettos. Also, spots are very small and most had no fire rings unless the people before you built one out of rocks from the wooded area nearby. Very sad disgrace of a campground to be part of the Thousand Trails community.

  Pickerel Point Campground — Promised Land State Park

  Pickerel Point

  Promised Land has several campgrounds, but Pickerel Point is our favorite. Some sites are right on the lake, just put the kayak on the shore, and you're ready for an early morning paddle. Another nice feature is the beach at the end of the peninsula - no need to drive to the crowded day use area. Bathrooms are the nicest I've ever seen in a campground. Available sites range from walk-in to RV hookups. There's plenty of hiking and fishing in the park, and even more to do not far away. It just isn't summer unless we spend some time at our favorite home away from home!

  French Creek State Park Campground

  A Fall visit was well worth the effort.

  Stayed one night in C-loop in the Fall and it was excellent!!  Weather was great, the lack of people was perfect, and the facilities were more than comfortable.  Sites ranging from level with asphalt and sidewalks to the fire pit to near-natural for that full tent camping experience.  Plenty of full hook-ups interspersed with electric only and no services.  Something for everyone.  

  The state park has numerous hiking and biking opportunities and probably some fishing as well.  The lake and pool facilities were closed but the scenery was still in full effect.

  Indian Head Campground

  Nothing fancy

  A lot of old campers and other stuff at entrance of campground. Full hook ups, large pull through spots but no trees. Full timers are in tree line. Have to pay for WiFi.

  Hickory Run State Park Campground

  The Way State Parks Should Be!

  Back to Nature, Baby!   We’ve been to so many campgrounds of all different types that we’ve come to expect that State Parks almost fall into the same category as RV Resorts. 

  With their amenities, immaculately groomed landscaping and higher prices, we’ve almost come to think of them less like parks and more like golf courses. However, Hickory Run is taking a different approach and letting the woods and campground be just that.  Lots of space between sites and a ton of privacy.  Completely natural setting, yet bathrooms were updated, immaculate, and spacious...and the showers were hot.

  We only spent a night here on our way to Hershey PA, but the list of hiking options was impressive, check out the Shades of Death Trail?  Don’t know what that’s about, but sounds intriguing!  We'll be back the next time we pass through...

  Awesome!

  A little pricey but worth it! We had full hook up with a great site! This place has cool novelty places to rent out as well. Pools were fantastic. Friendly staff. We already booked again!!!

  Appalachian Camping Resort

  Quiet with activities

  We stayed at Appalachian to visit a friend who has a seasonal site. Our site was full hook up. It was a nice size and was in a good location - near the ponds, pool, office, and bathhouse - but was still quiet! There were scheduled activities for kids and adults. The majority of seasonal sites we're clean and we'll maintained. Campers were friendly. A plus is that this campground is super easy to access from a major highway and once inside you forget about that.

  Camp Taylor Campground

  Great balance of primitive and convience

  We've started here many times. It's a nice family run campground with spaces from full hook-up, to clamping, to small cabins. There is a swimming pond and a nice hike takes you to the deleware river. Recommend it fully.

  Pickerel Point Campground — Promised Land State Park

  Great state park

  Bring your bikes and kayaks. Camped here numerous times. Some sites full hook up, and some more private than others. Nice bike loop around lake, many hiking trails, beach to swim and watch sunset. Does get crowded because it is popular. Lower lake campground is less crowded but sites close together and not as nice a view.

  Hemlock Campground & Cottages

  Great place to relax

  This place is always great to come back to. Spaces are, clean well maintained, and nice sized. Nothing too big not too small. Bathhouse is always clean. Pool just opened up and many enjoyed it. Karaoke, ceramics, tie dye, etc…all part of the campground. Some sites have full hook up, others do not offer sewer, but there is a pump out station.

  Lake Glory Campground

  First time, not the last

  Lake glory has a beautiful campground. The sites are large, you have a middle of nowhere feel, full hook ups are a nice addition and the nice little lake is an added bonus! I also want to mention that the camp store is pretty impressive as well. This was our first trip here and I promise it will not be our last!

  Pocono Point

  High class accommodations

  Stayed here one night ($60 per night). Sites are HUGE and each one has full hook up. They have the trendy teepee rentals and clamping tents.

  They also have stationary RVs on site that you can stay in, those are about $120 per night.

  Good location and easy to get to from the PA turnpike NE extension 476. Also a good location to get to all the state parks nearby like Beltzville and Lehigh Gorge. The creek actually runs right from Beltzville dam.

  They have a huge area and accommodations to do events and weddings, although we didn’t see anything like that on our stay.

  Minus one star because you can’t book online!

  Thousand Trails Timothy Lake North

  Don’t waste your money

  I would start with the good if there happened to be any.

  I’ll start with pulling into the campground. First of all you have to find your own site as there are no assigned sites available. This had us pulling our 33ft camper around the whole campground until we came across our site we settled for. Now this brings up the site situation. Very rocky and I don’t mean crushed stone, nope just rocks all over the site. Then come to find out no fire ring was available. So we took all the rocks around our site and made our own. So the rocks ended up coming in hand after all…..

  Now for the campground itself. This is a thousand trails campground. The website had a list of amenities from arcade to mini golf, laundry facilities and a camp store to name a few. Yeah none of this was available. The arcade and camp store looked like it had been vacant for years. None of the buildings on the campground were open and it was Memorial Day weekend! You had a year to renovate due to COVID!

  This campground wasn’t a campground at all! The only thing available for the kids was a playground! Everything was done online as there wasn’t even a office to visit!

  J&D Campground

  Simple and close to Knoebels!

  Very well maintained campground very close to Knoebels. This was the last weekend they were open. Kind of upset you do not get to choose your site. We would have preferred a site near the giant open field that backs up to the road, whereas people that were actually put there preferred the site we had instead. It is kind of noisy due to the traffic on the road but that would not have bothered us. Sites were pretty close to each other. You'll get to know your neighbors. Acorns fell off the trees and hit the camper all day and night. Playground is a bit too small, but the fishing pond is pretty. Most of the nicer "waterfront" sites are reserved for their seasonals. We weren't looking too much for an amenity filled campground but preferred a full hook up campground close to Knoebels. We will most likely stay here again next year. We camped at J & D Campgrounds in a Travel Trailer.

  Starlite Camping Resort

  Relaxing, Friendly, and Spacious!

   We had a great family camping weekend at Starlight and will definitely return in the future. Yes, it is quite hilly throughout the campground, but the individual sites are very level to park the camper with almost no blocks needed. 

  We had two sites this trip with water and electric, but they do have quite a few full hook-up sites. Overall the sites were large, with trees between, providing additional privacy. Except for the Plateau sites, which have the amazing view, the rest of the campground had a great tree cover! Too often private campgrounds attempt to squeeze as many sites as possible and end up with campers on top of their neighbors, but at Starlight, the sites felt very secluded. Water pressure and electric were both great throughout the stay. There is no internet, but we had good cell phone service. 

  The employees in the camp store are amazing and go out of their way to make you feel welcome! I felt everyone went above and beyond to help me from the reservation process through check-in. The camp store is well stocked and also serves hand-dipped ice cream. 

  Starlight is a nice campground to relax or explore central Pennsylvania.

  Echo Valley Campground

  Small Campground, easy to get to

  We stopped for 1 night on our way from MA to VA. Easy to access from the the interstate 81. The office has a lighthouse built on top of it, looks nice. There are gardens with walkways to walk to the pool or the office. Our site 24B was a pull through with full hook up.  We had cable and WI-FI. There wasn't any shade yet were only here one night. After driving most of the day I had to use the restroom and they won't let you use theirs due to covid. It's the first place in 3 months that wouldn't let you use the restroom. I believe it gives people an excuse to not let you use the restroom. 

  The pool is big and no one in it. It had a zero entry which is nice for us older people. There was a playground, volleyball and basketball.

  There are some seasonal sites. it was very quiet.

  As we left heading back to interstate 81 there is a gas station and a Burger King so a easy morning.

  Cranberry Run Campground

  Serves its purpose

  The good: If you’re looking for a place to crash with your camper for the weekend this is the spot for you. We basically needed a place to stay in the Pocono’s for the weekend while we had various plans. Many full hook up sites, shady areas, and you can get set up for a weekend for less than $100. (Discount for cash sale) They do have a pool.

  However, the amenities are few and far between for children. Lots of city folk flock here for the weekend- so keep that in the back of your mind. The driveway is a little hairy- steep with crushed stone on top of pavement. Which led to some tire slippage on the way up with our setup.

  The people were very friendly.
