This campground is beautiful! It's so peaceful and serene. There's a nice creek that rund through it, picnic pavilions and a playground for the kids! They used to have a swimming pool but they removed it a few years ago.

Beautiful and peaceful

What I like the best about exploring different State Parks is the hunt to find the pearl... that one thing that makes each park stand out from all the other parks I have visited. This pearl hunt is a completely individualistic process. For example the beautiful stream (Honey Creek) running through it  might be the pearl for a fisherman ( It has native and stocked trout). Or the playground might be the pearl for a mom or dad. For me, the pearl is a super clean, eco-shower. Yep that’s right, the shower!  Timed water, lights (solar?)etc. are spot on for me! A shower? That doesn’t seem very exciting, you might say...let me explain; My De-stress thing to do after a hard week at work is to go and have Dinner at the park. I first take a nice warm shower and let all the stress of the day go down that drain. Then I go find a deserted section and a picnic table and just sit down. Immediately I can feel every bit is stress or anxiety dissipate. My ears are filled with the sounds of crickets, birds and other insects. This is my meditation music. There are three pavilions and tables everywhere in the park. In this atmosphere, I chew slower, taste more and I swear, food  tastes better out of doors.... better than any restaurant... try it sometime! 
      Other favorite things about Reeds Gap - pet friendly ... it is tents only, but I like that about it too... I like the rustic setting. There are 3 beautiful pavilions and tons of parking! I also like their waste management as they offer recycling for the campers. There is a trail head near the entrance of the park for hikers and a geocache showed up close to the trail on a road on my geocache tracker if you are into that. I have just shared what makes Reeds Gap special for me, but you will have to come explore this gem for yourself and find your own pearl and what makes this state park one of Pennsylvania’s treasures.

Put your phone away cuz there's no cell service here! Nice and peaceful with a dozen or so tent only sites. We got a nice one tucked back in the trees, but a few of them are pretty close to the road - not like it's terribly busy. There's a creek along the outside and a nice easy hiking trail that follows it. I'd definitely go back again!

Peaceful weekend

Reeds Gap State Park is everything anyone who really just wants to relax needs. It’s only tents and it’s dog and family friendly! I’m from Philly and we don’t get to camp much but boy was this decision a winner! The only reason it isn’t 5 stars is because the bathrooms were down during our trip making night time potty visits a little unpleasant. 

Sooo Relaxing

Clean nice sites. Bathhouses were a little far away. Quite camping and hiking.
