Camp site was clean and not too noisy. All the outhouses are grouped in one spot so its a bit of a walk to get to them. No water that I saw so you should bring it.
Park is beautiful and the campsites are pleasant. The bathroom facilities (Portapotties with just hand sanitizer) leave something to be desired.
We picked this campsite as an out-of-state scout troop seeking a camp location near the great biking opportunities at Lehigh Gorge.
The group campsite we stayed at, "D," has a creek running between the parking area and the campsite. The space was fairly large (the reason we picked it) and has plenty of picnic tables, but in wet or rainy weather you'll need a dining fly (no pavilion) and well-planned routes to water supply, bathrooms, and parking area to account for stream crossing.
The group camp is very easy to miss off the highway. Pay close attention to the directions!
We would go again, but we would pick a different site if the weather was wet.
For large group primitive camping, this is a great spot. If you are looking for showers and other amenities, this isn’t the spot. That’s the family camp ground. If you want a spot to bring a bunch of families or friends or a church group (why we came), it’s great. The spot is away from the road, so the kids can play in relative safety without you worrying about them being hit by a stray idiot. There are plenty of spots to set up for making food, hanging out around a huge fire ring, and setting up tents and EZups.
Great little place for some weekend camping. The organized group site DOES NOT have facilities or showers (just porta potties) HOWEVER there are comfortable showers and proper bathrooms around the visitors center just about a half hour away.
Bring bottled water, no water spigot at organized camp sites (water available at visitor center if you bring water containers)
Bring your own fire wood as well; although there is a camp store, again near the visitor center about a half mile up the road.
There's a dollar general and a small grocery store about 10 minute drive away, if you forgot something and need to pick it up.
Beautiful little place, with a lot of natural sight seeing near by, decent signage to help you get around. There are hiking trails, fishing, waterfalls near enough by car.
