Situated near a lake in northeastern Pennsylvania, Oneida Campground & Lodge draws campers who want access to water recreation alongside a social atmosphere built around themed weekends throughout the season. Fishing, swimming, and outdoor gatherings are central to how guests spend their time here, and the campground's calendar of events gives repeat visitors a reason to return across multiple seasons.
Site options range considerably. Tent sites and private remote spots give campers a more rustic experience, while cabin and lodge accommodations include kitchen and shower facilities. RV campers should note that maneuvering can be tight in parts of the property, as at least one reviewer found the layout challenging for larger rigs. Electric and water hookups are available, along with a dump station, showers, and a camp store stocked with basics. Rates run from $15 to $140 per night depending on the site type.
Oneida is explicitly clothing-optional and LGBTQ-inclusive, which shapes the atmosphere in ways worth knowing before you book. The campground draws group gatherings and themed weekend events, which can make for a lively, social environment rather than a quiet one. Staff responsiveness has been noted positively across reviews, with on-site help available for site navigation and basic supply needs. Campers exploring campgrounds near Thompson will find that Oneida occupies a distinct niche compared to more conventional options in the region.
This campground is well-suited to social campers and those specifically seeking an inclusive, event-driven environment rather than a low-key retreat.
Description
Oneida Campground & Lodge is the oldest continuously operated LGBT Campground in the USA. We have been serving the LGBT Community since 1980. Oneida is located on 100 acres in the Endless Mountains region of Pennsylvania. There is something for everyone at Oneida. If you’re a true camper we have primitive sites, or if you prefer, tent sites with electric and water. If you’re not a real camper, we have a variety of cabins as well as two lodges with common areas, cable TV, and wi-fi. The campground is clothing optional.
In addition to a variety of accommodations, there are two ponds on the property and a dock on East Lake across the road from the main property. We also boast a 26 x 60-foot heated pool with a spill-over spa, a state-of-the-art disco, Club “O” where the beer flows freely. Every weekend has a theme and there is almost always a party going on.
