TravelerSpent a peaceful night car camping in site 151. Beautiful trees, nice shower houses, quiet neighbors. Just a beautiful and very affordable - $32 - stay. We’ll be back whenever we pass this way.
ScoutSecond trip here. Everything you need. Peaceful, large open areas with sites in sun and shade nestled in small valley surrounded by forest,
ScoutSpent 7 days here with the family. Campsite is packed with things to do and very family friends. Great for kids. Activities and live band on Saturday’s.
TravelerSecond year we have camped here in June prior to the IMSA race at the racetrack. The sites are all spread out with a nice tree canopy. There are two loops (Mohawk and Seneca) with electric, and 5 more for tent camping or boon docking RV. There is a trail that connects directly with the state park with all the waterfalls. Water spigots onsite liberally spread out and the showers/ toilets pristine. With my senior America pass it cost me $103 for 3 days. Love this place
ScoutEverything was great, RIGHT UP UNTIL some inconsiderate neighbor rolled in with their RV and let their generator roar from 7am to 10pm, ALL. DAY. If you’ve ever had to endure that mind-numbing drone, you know exactly how close it comes to making you lose your mind. We ended up cutting our trip short just to escape it. Absolutely miserable, selfish people who clearly don’t care who they ruin a trip for
ScoutQuiet spot along the river with a nice restaurant, pool, and live music regularly.
TravelerI love this campground always clean and has a nice pool and splash pad. Another pool coming soon. Everyone is friendly and can get a lot of wood for $25
TravelerThey have 30 amp sites. No water but there is a dump station. Bring your Starlink there is no cell signal. Bathrooms are decent. Good Stargazing(head to nearby Cherry Springs). This is one of the most “out of the way” places in the eastern US. Not quite boon docking but close. There is a guy on the corner that sells firewood. Download maps to get in and out. Listen for the Elk. Watch for Bears.
TravelerCampground is quiet, bathrooms are OK. Some sites have power, some don’t, none have water or sewer. Lots of things to do here. Been here 5 days and still haven’t done it all.

Swimming and water recreation: At Watkins Glen State Park Campground, approximately 40 miles from Tioga-Hammond Lakes, visitors enjoy both natural water features and constructed facilities. "Dogs are allowed but they are not allowed on the gorge trail. I'm ok with this I just wish I had known before we got there. There is a huge new playground for the kids and lots of area to walk around the loops if you don't want to hike the gorge trail," explains Lindsay C.

Near by attractions: PA Grand Canyon! Beautiful! You are also close to a cute little town called Wellsboro," shares a visitor at Hills Creek State Park.
Natural quiet: Worlds End State Park Campground provides a secluded experience about an hour from Tioga-Hammond Lakes. "No cell service, which is refreshing. The sound of the creek nearby is really soothing. Sites are well maintained and well organized, though a little close together," writes Katy R. Many cabins throughout the region offer similar disconnection from technology.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. Our site was well laid out. The campground was neat, clean and quiet," explains Sheilah C. Cabin options typically include beds with mattresses but require guests to bring linens.
Access to local attractions: Most cabin accommodations place visitors within 20-30 minutes of regional highlights. "Very friendly staff. Minutes away from a town and the gorge. Hiking trail from the campground to the gorge! Highly recommended!!" says Sarah M. about Canyon Country Campground.
Seasonal variations: Availability differs significantly by location, with most closed during winter. Stony Fork Creek Campground operates in a typical regional pattern. "Stony Fork Creek is beautiful and offers nearby hiking trails, a lake, and activities. My only complaint is that other campers did not respect quiet hours and it took the campground staff too long to ask them to quiet down," notes Gina M.
Amenities: Most cabin units don't include bathroom facilities. "The campground was exceptionally maintained, bathrooms and showers virtually spotless and the pool was clearly and consistently maintained at all times. Plenty of space to spread out and walk. All of the roads were paved and sites were very large," reports Greg W. about Stony Fork Creek Campground.
Wildlife awareness: Several campgrounds have active wildlife, requiring proper food storage. "Warning, there are black bears and other wildlife at Hills Creek, take care to lock up your coolers! We heard some fighting raccoons at night!" advises Amanda H.

Two playgrounds, a pool, two jumping pillows, mini train, carousel, and activities. Good for bike riding although hilly," shares B C. Most activities run from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Cabin selection for families: When choosing cabin accommodations with children, consider proximity to bathrooms. "We spent 5 nights at this campground at the end of June 2020.

Swimming options: Most cabin-friendly campgrounds include swimming areas. "The swim area is one of the best around. Playgrounds are fun. I think we picked the week with the most rain of the year to camp but it was still a lot of fun," reports J K. about cabin camping at Hills Creek State Park.
Site selection: At Tompkins Campground, cabin and RV sites have different advantages. "All roads and parking pads are paved. The sites are closer together than most other COE parks where we've stayed. We stayed in the Bench Loop which is very busy since it is waterfront," explains Bran P. RVers often prefer sites with water views despite higher traffic.
Connectivity limitations: Cell service varies significantly throughout the region. "No Verizon phone service and very slow internet with a booster. This area is pretty with rolling hills all around so we enjoyed a couple of scenic drives," notes an RV camper at Tompkins Campground.
Access considerations: Many cabin areas have limited turning radius for larger vehicles. "The entry road to the campground itself is a very steep, narrow road with a small curve at the top. It's well-maintained but keep an eye out for campers coming down. There's space for getting by but it's tight," warns a visitor about navigating to cabin areas.
