Frances Slocum State Park Campground

This is our second stay here at this campground. The first was a quick overnight in April. The park was 99% empty and the tree frogs were amazing! Our stay this time in Mid-July is completely opposite. The park of course is packed! No issue there as it’s the middle of summer. However, a lot of the sites are small and a bit too close to your neighbor for comfort. I would not recommend site 19E! There’s a site behind it the wraps around. Essentially, a site within a site! Not fun to wake up to a phone conversation on speaker and crying babies right outside your window at 5:45 in the morning. Every morning. Not to mention the kid LEARNING to play a song on his yyguitar! All in all, beautiful grounds  of wildlife. Beware of the Park Rangers who enjoy writing tickets, though. 

Spent one night on our way to Maine. Due to heavy traffic, arrived near dusk, no real clear directions or check-in process. Also did not realize sites have no water and you have to fill with potable water. Luckily we had a very nice neighbor looking out for us and provided us with great directions and advice. Compared to other state parks, PA needs some improvements. Rotting picnic tables and overgrown, muddy sites.

Large, wooded sites, good bathhouse, nice trails close by. A little highway noise, but dark and quiet at night. Very peaceful place.

The goods: We had site 44 in the Stony Point loop and it was by far the largest campsite on the property. We had a thick covered wooded area to our right and a huge grassy area to the left. Was also an easy back in site as there’s an adjacent road (to parking and the amphitheater) right in front of it. All sites only have electric and only certain allow pets. Dump station had easy access and bathrooms, weren’t great but wasn’t the worst I’ve seen either.

The not so good: mosquitoes and ticks can ruin a good trip, come prepared! Others in the campground were not honoring the quiet hours rules or the no alcohol rules. Some guy walked right in front of our site and threw up in a wooded area close by. Around the lake people leave their fishing bait and tackle on the ground so please be careful with your pups! Also, DO NOT take your pups to the water. There is a weird bacteria or algae currently growing in the lake, it’s completely visible. There are advisories around about it too.

We stayed there a week in June. campground was full and busy on the weekends, but that's everywhere now. site was big, with a little wodeed space around site. sites are spaced out nice and ample size. there is a campground boat launch that's convenient for kayaks or canoes. The sites have electricity and water nearby.

bathhouse were nice and and.

We really liked the lake and the pool.

Not sure when i stayed there, 2017/2018?

Very good stay, rates are a bit high..very mountainous surroundings with a lake.Well kept/maintained. All the amenities you need.

Cleanest campground I ha e been to. Great in between spot to worlds end state park and rickets glen

(Tent camper) Very clean campground. Level spacious sites for tents and electric/sewer water hook-ups for RV/campers.. Playground on the lower loop. Hiking trails throughout. Great fishing, boating...kayak and canoe rentals. Park pool or swimming at a daily discounted rate for campers. Pool concession carries ice and other items. Let’s of nearby homes offer firewood typically $4 a night bundle. They have walk-in primitive tent sites as well as electric sites for tents. Assigned dog sites. Love going here!

Only gave 4 stars because I believe campers ought to be able to swim for free as most pool business comes from the surrounding community. That’s always been a sore spot with me. I’ve been coming here for 25 years.

The park is nice and very clean. There is also plenty to do with a pool, hiking trails, fishing, and a nice lake with boat rental. The camping sites were really packed in together tightly, though.

Nice level sites easy to back in rv and set up

Cute little park. Nice lake for kayaking but not for swimming although there is a big pool. Nice trails for hiking.

Camped here for the first time and was very impressed. The campground and bathrooms were very clean. Lots of hiking trails - although they need better markings.

A nice lake where you can rent boats or tie up your own right on the lake near the campground. Just the right size lake for kayaking. Would definitely go here again.

Good camping area. The park has great hiking spots, a local pool, and a lake that you can rent boats or kayak on!!
