    Moon Valley Campground

    Very unique smaller private campground

    This was a great campsite nestled in the foothills of Northern NJ on the NY border. Small, clean with great views and great location for hiking , cruising etc. Bring your tent or use the existing glamping tents. Headed back for a fall weekend in the "dome" which has incredible views. Try it you won't be sorry.

    Camp Taylor Campground

    A beautiful forested campground with plenty of wildlife and birds.

    Easy access from Rt 80 and located close to the Lakota Wolf Preserve. With tours leaving them campground twice a day on both Saturday and Sundays for the wolf preserve, I was glad there was camping so close. The camping selection of sites is excellent with Cabins, Glamping tents, primitive tent sites and of course RV sites. I choose to stay in one of the glamping tents and was pleasantly surprised at the space inside the tent even with a double bed and two other fold out couches to beds. Water is available at the site. A small lake for swimming and boating. And lots of trails linking you to the Delaware river water gap area.

    Slumberland at the River's Edge

    Kayak camping at its finest, right on the upper Delaware River!

    Me and two friends do a yearly kayak trip down the Delaware river and have progressively moved north each year. This year, MDW of 2023, we were traveling between Narrowsburg, NY and Port Jervis, NY. Traveling 10-15 miles a day, we ended our second day of paddling at Slumberland on the Rivers Edge. The host put out a orange cone that made finding our campsite easy and a nice beach made unloading and loading kayaks pretty easy. The accommodations were top notch, with lights already on, and a table set, along with a grill, fire pit, and covered porch and canvas tent that housed two queen sized beds along with an electric stove and a woodstove. We were able to relax on the adirondack chairs on the deck as the sun went down and our fire (wood provided by host) and the porch lights remained glowing. It was nice change from camping in our tents and sleeping pads as we are used to along the river, as the beds were very comfortable, and the heater and canvas tent kept us warm during 40 degree temperatures at night. It was quiet and peaceful and you had your own space far from the other sites at slumberland (unlike many other campgrounds along the river). We all enjoyed our stay and had a great time and I would highly recommend to any kayak campers along the river looking for more than just a patch of grass to set up a tent on.

    Camp Taylor Campground

    Great as long as you behave

    Having been here on a few occasions I will say it is def a beautiful spot in many regards. However, there are some downsides.

    Positives: sites are decent sized with fire pits and picnic tables. easy access to hiking, convenient to a beautiful vineyard, peaceful region, and the most amazing wolf preserve is right next to you.  

    Negative: limited access to firewood. sites are picked clean, quiet hours are strongly enforced- which can be a good thing depending upon who you are, the lake is anything but refreshing.

    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.

    Stokes State Forest

    Ranger Review: humangear FlexiBowl and GoBites at Steam Mill Campground

    Campground Review

    Stokes State Forest has four campgrounds. The Steam Mill Camping Area is tucked out the of the way and is the most primitive. It is the smallest of the campgrounds with 27 sites only suitable for tents or small trailers/campervans. No pets or alcohol allowed.

    The campground has a pit toilet and a well. Each large campsite has a picnic table, fire pit, and lantern hook. Some sites also have a tent platform. Many sites are a bit rocky.

    We selected site T219. It was a solid choice: private but close to the toilet and water. Some sites located around the opposite side of the ring back up to a babbling brook. The rushing water will soothe you to sleep.

    Remember, this is bear country so proper food storage is a must. Bear lockers are not provided. The area also has ticks and rattlesnakes.

    Outdoor activities in the area abound. Go fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, kayaking, and more. There are 21 marked trails that cover over 63 miles within the boundaries of Stokes State Forest. Twelve miles are part of the Appalachian Trail. Pick up a hiking map at the park office or download the Avenza Maps app.

    This visit we hiked the Tillman Ravine trail (tip: make the trail a loop and visit both the ravine and the nearby old cemetery).

    You can also drive or hike to Sunset Mountain Scenic Overlook for a view of High Point Monument. High Point Monument is the highest elevation in New Jersey and is located in High Point State Park which borders Stokes State Forest on the north. High Point State Park also offers camping, hiking, sightseeing opportunities. And, on the western border of Stokes State Forest is the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. So, there is lots of outdoors to get out and explore!

    Product Review

    We camped at the Steam Mill Camping Area in Stokes State Forest in our campervan over a chilly autumn weekend. We had the opportunity to cook some soup on our stovetop and chill out by the campfire. And, as Rangers for The Dyrt, we get products to test from time to time so we were psyched to try out some new dinnerware and cutlery. This included the FlexiBowl and GoBites from humangear.

    What made these humangear products pretty awesome? Well, the fun colors to start. I mean, seriously, my orange bowl rules. The FlexiBowl also has some neat features: it’s flexible - just like the name suggests - and foldable. The bowl can be squished and stuffed anywhere. And, the top section can be folded down to create a smaller bowl. The FlexiBowl is versatile yet durable. It held my hearty, warm soup just perfectly.

    I paired the FlexiBowl with one of the GoBites utensils (the Uno model). The Uno model is my favorite - it has a fork on one side and a spoon on the other side. Very simple and convenient. The other GoBites models include the Duo (separate fork and spoon that can snap together) and the Trio (a fork, spoon, and knife - with bottle opener - in a case).

    PRO TIP: I keep the Trio GoBites model in my travel pack at all times. It recently came in handy on a (non-camping) trip to Sardinia. The knife on the Trio allowed me to slice some delicious local cheese to pair with bread, jam, and wine that was purchased from the grocery store. YUM.

    Tobyhanna State Park Campground

    Pretty but cramped

    The lake is gorgeous and there are nice hiking trails, but sites are very small and close together. Let’s are allowed in less than half of the campground, which means all the dogs are in a smaller area and barking at each other more than other places. The no-pet area was practically empty when we were there midweek but the pets-allowed area was much more crowded than we would have liked.

    Also rules and signage are wildly confusing, lots of things contradict each other. Cell service exists but not great for remote work.

    Oakland Valley Campground

    Family friendly campground

    Nice, family friendly campground with 3 levels to camp at. Top level has a pool, showers and bathrooms with laundry area and game room. Middle level has open field with bathrooms with sinks and running water. There is water and electric on the sites at the middle level. River level has more primitive bathrooms and some bathrooms with running water. You can camp right next to the river and it has a great view.

    Hickory Run State Park Campground

    Secluded/small site tenting

    Stayed two nights at two different sites. Heavily recommend getting campsites in the mid-60s. They come with a little more room and seclusion. Come with fire pit, parking spot, picnic table, flush toilet, running water. Competitive pricing.


Guide to Tafton

Glamping close to Tafton, Pennsylvania offers diverse experiences within the Pocono Mountain region, where elevations range from 1,300 to 2,300 feet. The area experiences distinct seasons with summer temperatures typically ranging from 70-85°F during peak camping months. The numerous lakes and waterways provide water recreation opportunities at most campgrounds, with several sites offering direct waterfront access where campers can launch personal watercraft.

What to do

Lake activities at Tobyhanna State Park: Visitors can enjoy swimming in the designated beach area, fishing, or hiking the 5-mile trail around the lake. "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," shares one Tobyhanna State Park Campground visitor. The park features multiple parking areas with easy access to trails.

Fishing opportunities: Several local lakes offer catch-and-release fishing, often requiring no license for on-property fishing. At Secluded Acres Campground, "An area of the lake is to swim and the other to fish in. Catch and release only," notes a camper. Morning and evening fishing typically yield the best results.

Hiking trails: The area offers extensive hiking options including access to the Appalachian Trail. "There are 21 marked trails that cover over 63 miles within the boundaries of Stokes State Forest. Twelve miles are part of the Appalachian Trail," mentions a camper who visited the region. Most trails are moderately difficult with some elevation changes.

Water recreation rentals: Many campgrounds offer equipment rentals for water activities. "They have an overabundance amount of activities scheduled for campers... We rented a canoe out a couple times during our stay," reports one visitor about their experience at Keen Lake.

What campers like

Waterfront campsites: Lakefront sites offer direct water access and scenic views. "I stayed on a lakeside electric/water site for 5 nights... It was SO BEAUTIFUL. We had SUPs and kayaks to take on the lake and our sites were right next to the boat launch," explains a camper at Keen Lake Resort Campground. These premium sites often book months in advance.

Clean facilities: Campers frequently mention the cleanliness of bathhouses and common areas. "The bathrooms were the cleanest we've ever experienced at a campground. *The showers are coin operated," notes a visitor to Keen Lake. Another camper at Mount Pocono Campground states, "Cleanest campground bathouse I've ever used!"

Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the woodland settings that provide separation between campsites. "Such wonderful rustic sites that are absolutely secluded!!" writes a visitor about Secluded Acres Campground. Site selection can significantly impact privacy levels, with wooded sites typically offering more seclusion.

Scheduled activities: Campgrounds in the region often provide organized events for guests. "This campground is huge. Many people live here, but there are spots to rent... They also have a dog park for your beloved pooch," mentions a camper at Secluded Acres, highlighting the community atmosphere.

What you should know

Seasonal operation: Most glamping facilities near Tafton operate between May and October. "The sites were close together and everyone was super loud which didn't bother me. I enjoyed hearing other people's music and laughter," notes a visitor about summer camping at Kittatinny Campground. Weekends tend to be significantly busier than weekdays.

Wildlife awareness: The area has active wildlife including bears. "As soon as we got to our site one came right up as we were setting up our tent. Do not leave any food out be sure to lock up everything in car," warns a camper about bear encounters. Proper food storage is essential at all sites.

Water conditions: Lake water in the region often has a distinctive color. "The lake is very nice a little copper kind of like iced tea color but was very nice," explains a visitor, referring to the tannic acid that naturally colors some lakes in the area but doesn't affect water quality.

Site variations: Not all sites offer the same amenities or layout. "If you don't want to drive during your stay, camp on the side w/ the beach and pool," suggests a Keen Lake camper. Researching specific site locations before booking improves the camping experience.

Tips for camping with families

Pool options: Several campgrounds feature swimming pools in addition to lake swimming. "My kids really loved having a pool to swim in, in addition to the lake," notes a Keen Lake visitor. Pools typically open from Memorial Day through Labor Day and have specified hours.

Playground facilities: Many campgrounds offer play areas specifically for children. "There are a few hiking trails we didn't get to do, also have a horse shoe pit volleyball ball area and a little play area in the camping area," shares a camper at High Point State Park Campground, listing the family-friendly amenities available.

Camp stores: On-site stores at most glamping locations stock essentials and snacks. "The on-site store has a huge selection of necessities, so no need to worry about forgetting things," advises a camper. Stores typically operate during daytime hours with limited evening availability.

Kid-friendly activities: Many campgrounds organize specific activities for children. "Mount Pocono Campground in the Poconos, Pennsylvania is a very active and fun vacation destination! There are lots of amenities for every family member and the staff is friendly and welcoming," reports a visitor, highlighting the family focus of many area campgrounds.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain that requires preparation. "The 'trailer' sites aren't level," notes an RV camper. Bringing leveling blocks is recommended for most RV sites in the area.

Hookup variations: Hookup availability differs between campgrounds and specific sites. "The RV sites are spaced out nicely," shares a Keen Lake visitor. Most full-hookup sites provide 30-amp service, with 50-amp available at select locations.

Size restrictions: Many older campgrounds have limited space for larger RVs. "Just finished up two nights in site 123. These sites are RIGHT AGAINST THE ROAD. Other state parks tend to make their sites deep, whereas these are wide," explains a camper about site layouts that may challenge larger rigs.

Campsite selection: RVers recommend researching site specifics before booking. "We had a great time despite cold wet weather. Our site was probably one of the worst in the place but we were able to scope out others that we would prefer for our next visit," shares an RV camper about their experience at Keen Lake, highlighting the importance of site selection.
