Nice Family Campground

This campground is definitely designed for young families. I booked last minute and had to make do with a primitive site which was downhill and a little bumpy. However, there are extremely nice bathrooms and a ton of things to do if you have children like playground, arcade and activities. It’s nice how close it is to downtown Jim Thorpe but it was a little too close together and family oriented for me as someone who travels only with young adults.

Despite the bad reviews

We had a great camp spot! We stayed 2 nights and it was actually the more secluded camp site. I do see however that there are definitely cramped camping sites. The staff were friendly and there were flushable toilets. The location was so great because it’s just right above Jim Thorpe!

Tight loud and not level

This campground is very tight. We have a 30' travel trailer and it was very tight to get to our spot. On our first night there was loud music and people yelling till 1 am even though quiet time starts at 11.

Nice camping close to Jim Thorpe and a lake

The sites were fine and I liked the location. Next to the creek where you can fish trout (don’t forget to buy a license). About 3 miles stroll along the creek to Jim Thorpe. About 3 miles the other way is a lake with the rentals (was closed in May 2020 due to COVID)

Almost perfect

The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is because our site wasn’t level and it took hours to get it right. After that... we had the best time!! Tons of trails and creeks. So much fun!!

Beautiful area

This place was pretty nice. The bath houses were really clean. The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars is cause the spots were a little tight.

Maiden voyage

This was our first trip with our new to us jayco. We stayed in site 20. Easy to back in. Didn’t need leveling blocks as our site was nice and level. Stayed Thursday through Sunday. It was chilly in the mornings and evenings and warm and sunny during the day. Perfect fall weather. We had a wonderfully relaxing time! We will be back.

Decent campground in a wonderful location

On the surface the campground is average. The secret it packs is the great town in which it shares it's name. You are 5 minutes from the wonderful town of Jim Thrope. Can't say the campground offers too much other than the basic campground experience. Though if coupled that with the opportunity to experience Jim Thrope, it sets the Jim Thrope Camping Resort apart.

My son, brother, and nephew tent camped. The tent sites are not very defined, level or rock free. Makes it fun searching for a good position within the site, kinda like roughing it in the actual wild... so not really a complaint. Sites are not very private or secluded. I could personally use a bit more privacy, not enough to be a deal breaker. Bathhouses are rougher, but usable and not dirty per se. Just rustic.

A major pro is access to the Switchback Trail from the campground. A wonderfully scenic trail.

Overall I would and plan on returning.

Great Campground!

The Only downside is the sites are small, close together, and the site #’s can be a little confusing. But we have stayed here at least 6 times over the last 3 years. All of our neighbors were always really nice and the staff is outstanding. Theres a creek where you can go fishing. There is a playground, pool, arcade, and office store. We mainly come out to use the outdoor shooting range nearby. There’s plenty of places to check out in town. We will continue to come back every year!

Fall trip

Very tightly packed but a cool campground. We had a small pop up trailer with available hookups. They also have cabins. This was mainly a seasonal campground. Bathrooms were great! Showers clean. Love the area of Jim Thorpe.

Nothing about this place says resort

We arrived here with high hopes and it went downhill from there. Our site was way to small even though we gave the length and width of our rig ahead of time. We were always looking for a place to park our tow because we had no extra space in front or back. The RVs were parked so close together that none of us could use our awnings. There was a fifth wheel to our left that could just barely get their slideouts extended. Finally, the site was not level. Much of the facility is outdated and a little ratty looking. I will say that our visit was two years ago so maybe they have improved the place. If not, shame on them for calling it a resort.

Beautiful and well accomodated.

This camprground can get packed and loud on busy nights. During the week it is very quiet. There is a general store on site, an arcade, a pool, bathrooms with clean showers, and sinks with potable water. The mauch chunk stream runs through the back of the campground. The D&L trail also runs at the back of the campground, giving great bike access to mauch chunk lake.
