September 2023, This was our 2nd time camping here. Easy fast check in. Large gravel site. Lake front site had a path to the lake. Great fishing, very nice clean bath house and showers, indoor pool and hot tub. Security at the gate. 30 /50 electric, water, septic and cable tv. Nice camp store. I absolutely recommend camping here.
Campground. More than half of the campground, not full hookups. Booking for the sites is a debacle. Online, system sucks, and keep getting bumped. Must book at 12:00 midnight exactly. 1,000 people doing same thing, trying to book for vacation and it crashes. Hope for cancelations or have friends book 4 sites so can at.least get some people booked. Total shambles.
The best memories were made camping here as a child. I now have the thrill of bringing my own son. Nothing has changed. It's still a magical place!
1st time camping there. Liked that it was 1st come 1st served with the exception of bingo. One young girl held 3 tables and when I asked the staff the man said it was not allowed. He went to the tables with me, saw the girl, said oh its you and did nothing. So in this case there was preferential treatment and while our party was there, a single young girl got to hold tables; was very disappointed.
8/29/2023- I would like to add that the Resort had called me regarding this review, which I appreciated. They were concerned about my comments and are looking into the matter. I write these reviews as a retired Customer Service Manager. I always look into comments made as an opportunity to improve service. We had a great time at this resort with this one exception.
We were turned on to otter lake by friends of ours once we bought our camper. This place is great. I don't think there is a site in there that I would be disappointed with. If you don't book at midnight on November 1st good luck getting a lake front unless someone cancels. For us though a nearby playground (4) for our littles keeps us happy. There are many activities offered and both the lake/beach and two pools are well maintained. The firetruck is always a big hit and the people are very friendly. A great spot in the Poconos. I will say there is no easy way to get there especially when towing .
