This was the first time we stayed at a State Park. When staying at a state park versus a privately owned park there seem to be more rules that are pretty strict. That was one thing we were not used to, we enjoy a beer or two sitting around the fire. Park rangers were not lenient at all even though it was just the wife and I. The setting was not very private as the tent sites were pretty much out in the open, with the woods to the back of the sites. Furthermore our site was next to a popular road, which made it even less private. There was not much in the way of amenities at this campground. The store was pretty well stocked, but the people at the check in booth were not very helpful in describing the campground and what is available to campers. The campground is relatively close to Jim Thorpe PA, and the popular Pocono Whitewater Rafting company. Along with white water rafting, they also have extensive paintball facilities there. There are a few good hiking trails in the area as well. If you are looking for super affordable, extremely rustic accomodations with not many amenities, then this place fits the bill. It just wasn't exactly what we were looking for. It was our first camping trip away from our home, "favorite" campground. We camped here in a Tent.

Fun park with lots of hiking and fishing. Bears were a pain, but entertaining. Lehigh Gorge State park is near by and offers easy hiking and biking on the rail trail. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
