Really neat campground easily accessible from anywhere in New Jersey, PA. There is a small shop there as well for camping accessories and snacks. They sell hats, t-shirts gloves and the like. Cozy place and nice people.
My wife and I stayed here Friday through Sunday last weekend. We were initially concerned about bears and had seen potentially the staff could be rude in previous reviews. I’m happy to say we encountered neither! We kept our site clean (it probably helped that it was absolutely pouring the whole weekend) and hadn’t seen a bear and the staff was very friendly! When we got there a man at the front desk signed us in, sold us wood and gave us a good run down of how to avoid bears (no food in the tent) and he saw we had a kayak and recommended White Lake which was about a 10 minute drive. While it did rain a TON we still had a super fun time being outside and hiking and camping. Be warned the trail up to mount Tammany past the wolf preserve is a bit overgrown and was at times more of a climb so if you’d rather a shorter maybe easier hike I would recommend driving to the red trail parking area and going straight up to the peak since it was about a mile or so hike up to the top and then 2-3 miles to get to the peak on mostly flat ground. Also the showers were way better than I had expected, very clean with individual stalls. We stayed at a primitive site (81) next to the flush toilets and I was also impressed that they were kept really clean as well. The game room looked well maintained as well and they had a basketball game, a racing game and a buck hunter one all looking pretty new (we weren’t able to use them though as we had our dog with us). Definitely would camp here again!
I love this campground being connected to Lakota Wolf Preserve. We try and go every year. Sites are a good size & restrooms always clean.
We just finished our first camping trip to Camp Taylor (tent site) and absolutely loved it. I like that the campground is strict with their rules, makes for a very enjoyable stay. No noise issues on Friday or Saturday night. The location is great for hiking the Water Gap and mountain biking Stephens/Allamuchy which is why we selected it. Wolves sounded off in the mornings around 6:45-7am and it was one of our favorite things laying in the tent and hearing them. The tent sites are pretty well separated from hook up/seasonal sites and we enjoyed the more primitive feel in that section of the property. Staff was friendly at check in. Restroom/showers were clean. Couldn't ask for more. Was hoping to return one more time the last weekend in October but they'll end their season just before. We'll definitely be back in the Spring.
I had a really good time.
I personally feel like it isnt worth it to do the cabins.
They're pretty cramped and the sleeping amenities are worse than sleeping on the ground.
They have an arcade that is definitely lacking but the gift shop is nice and the wildlife is happy.
Its definitely a kid friendly place with multiple areas to adventure and explore.
The loft mattresses had stains on them. So they definitely need to be replaced.
I will say a big thing to consider before going is that when winds pick up, even just a little, you are going to have large nuts flying down at you like an automatic rifle.
No joke.
They can do some serious damage if you're not careful but you should be fine if you are.
The area is nice and the staff was reasonable.
The young woman in the front office was a cutie, and really helpful.
I jad a good time over all.
God bless you.
