Hikers Bikers n Nature Likers OH MY

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents4 acres ¡ Upper Exeter, PA
It's always a great time of year for nature. It's cheap, but hotels aren't! Whether youre fishing the river or stream, hiking the endless trails, off-roading, swimming, taking a train ride, climbing, ect; it all can be done right here! Are you a fan of American history? This is a wonderful place to learn hands on. Including indians vs settlers, hidden tunnels, mining, abandoned mines, and the revolution. Rich with history! Maybe you will see a Bigfoot 😜 Come visit our lovely home in the mountains on 4.2 acres and save some $ while having a more enriching experience. The surrounding landscape is similar to a small bowl of mountains. We are located halfway up the side, facing the rising sun. In fall and winter, the view of the 9 surrounding mountaintops is breathtaking! Fall asleep to the sound of Gardner creek at the bottom of the hill. (stocked with trout when in season) Its very possible to hear the coyotes calling to each other across the valley. Bears, deer, racoons and other nocturnal creatures roam the hills and are frequently caught on camera. So hide your cookies! During the day, birds of prey sunbathe in the tree tops and glide only a few feet above you. Kids will love the park/playground, which can be seen from the main house(without foliage), just across the creek or a half mile drive. FROM YOUR SITE grab some spring water and berries, visit campbells ledge lookout, take out the quads, a short walk to the great Susquehanna river for some large fish, to the stocked creek down the hill, bike the mountain, take a dip in the swimming holes, or pet our chickens! Ask us about our favorite spots ☺️ Wifi will work at the RV site or near the main house. Make yourself at home and grab a chair in the lawn. We provide a free bundle of firewood with your booking. You can add more if needed but there's plenty of branches around.(please nothing alive) All sites have a folding table and chairs if requested. Bring a grate if you plan to cook on the fire pit. Free fresh well water hose. Water hookup for the RV site is available at no cost if needed. We provide garbage disposal and recycling. Our dog, Aria, is a playful Cane Corso. Don't mind if she barks, that's her job lol. She will play with other animals. Our home is in the center of the sites but we do our best to give you privacy. The road we live on is 15 miles long, very quiet. No cars late at night and maybe 1 passes every 10-20 minutes during the day. We have a couple neighbors but you are still in the mountains. ☺️

BeaverWood Farm (no children)

40 sites ¡ RVs, Tents15 acres ¡ Liberty, NY
We are a 15 acre farm on the shores of Swan Lake. There are plenty of campsites sites all around the property, accommodating tents, mid sized campers and RV's. No children under 16 please. Depending on how crowded we are, privacy varies, but on most weekends you can be out of site of other campers. Many campsites have fire-pits already, but you're welcome to make your own anywhere you'd like. While camping, you may be visited by over 100 friendly, free roaming FARM ANIMALS! You may feed them, but PLEASE dont let them eat plastic bags. Be sure to put all food away when you are done. We cannot offer reimbursement for tents damaged by animals. This is extremely rare, but it CAN happen. If you do not wish to put your tent at risk, please do not camp here. The farm was once an old bungalow colony and has some glass and metal still in the soil. Please wear shoes at all times. Firewood is available at several locations around the farm. There is a heated sink and shower in the back corner of our main camping area. Boats are available at our lakeside dock, at no charge. There is also a great mountain for hiking and a super secret swimming hole, both within a 10 minute drive. Also enjoy a child free visit, as we do not allow children under 16 years old.

The River's Edge

5 sites ¡ Lodging, Tents60 acres ¡ Pocono Woodland Lakes, PA
The River's Edge campsites sit on the shoreline of the Delaware River at the western edge of New York State overlooking the mountains of Pennsylvania. Our canvas tents and open air platforms perch between the river and the former Delaware & Hudson Canal which was once was used to transport raw goods by barge to New York City via the 'port' of Port Jervis. The remnants of the canal walls are throughout the property including a 300 person theater which we created to both preserve and feature this industrial history. It also makes a great place for an event or a movie night. Today, the original canal towpath, along which barges would be pulled and floated downstream, is a trail that links all of the campsites over 5 acres and at the furthest end an eel fishing camp that is in operation from June to October (say 'hi' to Jim). In the early 1900s, the train replaced the canal as the primary method of moving goods into New York and if you are lucky — you will hear the train rumble by along the river on the Pennsylvania side. There is something spectacular in the absolute still and grandness of the river, the mountains and the ongoing industrial history of the valley. It is a reminder of the way things used to be.

We offer a number of leave-no-trace Back Country sites for a truly unique remote getaway. *All campsites and the Tiny Cabin are walk-in Back County sites. We are available to shuttle in your gear after you check in* Safety Guidelines: 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Emergency Procedures In addition to 911, the nearest hospital is Wayne County Memorial Hospital with a 24 hour Emergency Room located at 601 Park St. Honesdale, PA 18431 | (570) 253-8100 ⚡ Minimize hazards Wear appropriate clothing. Use Sunscreen & Insect Repellent. Maintain a clean camp site. Dispose of garbage, recycling, and compost responsibly. Trash, recyclables and compost should be taken to main barn and disposed of accordingly. Please compost all left over food items. 📢 Please respect other campers. Quiet Hours 11:00pm to 8:00am. 🐕 We love when Hipcampers are allowed to bring their pets, but it’s important to understand that you must keep your pets in your control, keep them from causing harm, and ensure they’re reasonably quiet during quiet hours. Wild Animal - Safety Warnings All it takes is one wrong move in the woods and you could have an unwanted guest at your campsite. Here’s a list of 10 things you can do to keep your family camping trip safe and secure from potentially dangerous animals. 1. Eliminate odors from food and supplies Black bears roam all over the Pocono Mountains with a population of more than 18,000 in the Poconos alone, making them a common concern amongst campers. It’s not only trash that will attract a bear; toiletry items such as toothpaste, soap, lotions, deodorant or bug sprays (especially citronella) should be secured from bears as well. To keep your food, supplies and gear away from bears, there are several different ways to keep them out of a bears reach. You could keep them in a hard-sided vehicle, a certified food storage container, or put it all in a bag and hang it between two trees at least 10 feet from the ground. 2. Stop by the store and grab the basics Stock up your packs with flashlights and bear spray to keep in the tent at night. Flashlights can always be useful to help find things and point you in the right direction when walking at night. The bear spray, on the other hand, is a purchase that you most likely and hopefully will never use but is something worth having for that extra piece of mind when you hear rustling in the woods. 3. Get loud! It might seem strange, but being loud will keep many of the furry creatures out of sight. With that said, if you have close-by neighbors, don’t cause a full out ruckus. The sounds of the campfire crackling, voices, and other man-made sounds like car engines usually do the trick in scaring off wildlife. 4. Keep pets on leash… always As much as you may love and trust your pets to stay close by, it’s not worth the risk of letting them roam off on their own. An alternative to always holding the other end of the leash is buying a spiral stake to put in the ground to keep the pup close by while granting him or her a little freedom to roam. Keep in mind Birds of Prey are all around. You may even spot a bald eagle or two during your stay. Keep in mind these majestic birds of prey won’t think twice about snatching your small dog. 5. Be ready for the non-furry threats When it comes to snakes, be particularly careful if you move logs or brush as most snakes get to moving when their environment is tampered with. If snakes are a high concern of yours in a particular area, consider wearing sturdy boots and gloves when moving such things. 6. Keep your distance Most animals will scare off easily from a far distance. However, in the instance of getting a bit too close to a bear or other animal, you should brush up on what to do in the event that you are in a face-to-face situation. While these circumstances are extraordinarily rare, it is better to be prepared than to make a wrong move. 7. Wear different clothes cooking and to bed Have you ever gone to a restaurant and can distinctly smell the food even hours after you’ve left? The same happens in the wilderness. Cooking smells cling to fabric and can attract bears, making the clothes you wore while making dinner not the best pajamas. Store your “cooking clothes” in an airtight bag or container to reduce the risk of any wildlife catching a whiff. 8. Keep it clean Your campsite, that is. Continuously making an effort to scrub pots and pans and picking up trash throughout the day’s adventures will work wonders in making it less of a task to keep your site pest free. 9. Consider a bear proof cooler, especially for car camping Definitely not necessary, but it is a precaution that might be suitable for some. If your cooler is on its last leg and you are looking for an upgrade, there are always certified bear tested coolers that are sure to keep your food and beverages cold and the bears locked out. 10. Know the area you are in One of the sharpest tools you can have up against wildlife is knowledge and familiarity with the woods you will be setting up camp in. For information on the wildlife in the area, you can seek out tips from the local park ranger or wildlife official. Getting outdoors for a camping adventure is an enjoyable, freeing experience that is almost never dangerous, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to be prepared in the event of an unlikely guest. Staying safe from poisonous plants while camping just got easier! Poison ivy and poison oak, spread across most of North America, can ruin a perfectly good camping trip. These dangerous plants can be found almost anywhere when camping, whether in open fields, wooded areas, roadsides, or riverbanks. Poison oak and poison ivy trigger an itchy rash on contact. Worse, if the leaves get into a campfire , the same chemical can get into your lungs, causing extreme pain which may require medical attention. Campground owners and operators should always be conscious of their campers’ safety. Though most experienced campers can recognize poison oak and poison ivy and avoid accidental contact, a novice might rely only on posted warnings near the plants. Our Poison Ivy and Poison Oak Warning Signs provide clear and concise warnings for campers, helping them have a safe and stress-free camping experience. Prevent Lyme Disease Before gardening, camping, hiking, or just playing outdoors, make preventing tick bites part of your plans. Lyme disease is spread by the bite of an infected tick. In the United States, an estimated 476,000 infections are diagnosed and treated each year. If you camp, hike, work, or play in wooded or grassy places, you could be bitten by an infected tick. People living in or visiting the mid-Atlantic states, and the upper Midwest are at greatest risk. Infected ticks can also be found in neighboring states and in some areas of Northern California, Oregon and Washington. But you and your family can prevent tick bites and reduce your risk of Lyme disease. Protect Yourself from Tick Bites Know where to expect ticks. Blacklegged ticks (the ticks that cause Lyme disease) live in moist and humid environments, particularly in and near wooded or grassy areas. You may get a tick on you during outdoor activities around your home or when walking through leaves and bushes. To avoid ticks, walk in the center of trails and avoid walking through tall bushes or other vegetation. Repel ticks on skin and clothing. Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, para-menthane-diol, or 2-undecanone. EPA’s helpful search tool can help you find the product that best suits your needs. Always follow product instructions. Parents should apply this product to their children, avoiding hands, eyes, and mouth. Use products that contain permethrin on clothing. Treat clothing and gear, such as boots, pants, socks and tents with products containing 0.5% permethrin. It remains protective through several washings. Pre-treated clothing is available and may be protective longer. • The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has an online tool to help you select the repellent that is best for you and your family. • For detailed information about preventing ticks on pets and in your yard, see Lyme Disease Prevention and Control. • For detailed information for outdoor workers, see NIOSH Safety and Health Topic: Tick-borne Diseases. Perform Daily Tick Checks Check your body for ticks after being outdoors, even in your own yard. Search your entire body for ticks when you return from an area that may have ticks. Use a hand-held or full-length mirror to view all parts of your body and remove any tick you find. Take special care to check these parts of your body and your child’s body for ticks: • Under the arms • In and around the ears • Inside the belly button • Back of the knees • In and around all head and body hair • Between the legs • Around the waist Check your clothing and pets for ticks because they may carry ticks into the house. Check clothes and pets carefully and remove any ticks that are found. Place clothes into a dryer on high heat to kill ticks. Remove Attached Ticks Quickly and Correctly Remove an attached tick with fine-tipped tweezers as soon as you notice it. If a tick is attached to your skin for less than 24 hours, your chance of getting Lyme disease is extremely small; however, other diseases may be transmitted more quickly. Over the next few weeks, watch for signs or symptoms of Lyme disease such as rash or fever. See a healthcare provider if you have signs or symptoms. For more information, see tick removal. Be Alert for Fever or Rash Even if you don’t remember being bitten by a tick, an unexpected summer fever or odd rash may be the first signs of Lyme disease, particularly if you’ve been in tick habitat. See your healthcare provider if you have symptoms. Prevent Ticks on Animals Prevent family pets from bringing ticks into the home by limiting their access to tick-infested areas and by using veterinarian-prescribed tick prevention products on your dog. Create Tick-safe Zones in Your Yard Modify your landscaping to create “Tick-Safe Zones.” It’s pretty simple. Keep patios, play areas, and playground equipment away from shrubs, bushes, and other vegetation. Regularly remove leaves, clear tall grasses and brush around your home, and place wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas to keep ticks away from recreational areas (and away from you). • Use a chemical control agent. Use acaricides (tick pesticides) to reduce the number of ticks in treated areas of your yard. However, you should not rely on spraying to reduce your risk of infection. • Discourage deer. Deer are the main food source of adult ticks. Keep deer away from your home by removing plants that attract deer and by constructing barriers (like a fence) to discourage deer from entering your yard and bringing ticks with them. Natural Environment Please respect the beautiful natural surroundings you are inhabiting. You will undoubtedly see a numbers of friendly neighbors like Fox, Deer, Wild Turkeys, Beavers, Ducks and maybe even a Bald Eagle or two. We ask that you respect all animals within your site. We hope you have a fun and relaxing visit!

Endless Brewing and EMR Event (Paintball) Park are also located nearby. Three showers restrooms with in 2 miles of site. The main difference between the showers at the Pen Can, Burger King, and Flying J truck stops in Harford and New Milford, PA is the price. The Pen Can charges $10 for a shower, Burger King charges $7, and Flying J charges $5. The quality of the showers is also slightly different, with the Pen Can having the nicest showers, followed by Flying J and then Burger King. The Pen Can also has the most shower stalls, with 10, followed by Flying J with 6 and Burger King with 4. Here is a more detailed comparison of the showers at each truck stop: Pen Can Price: $10 Number of stalls: 10 Amenities: Shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels, hair dryers Quality: Best Burger King Price: $7 Number of stalls: 4 Amenities: Shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels Quality: Good Flying J Price: $5 Number of stalls: 6 Amenities: Shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels Quality: Fair In addition to the price and quality of the showers, there are a few other factors to consider when choosing a truck stop shower. One factor is the location of the truck stop. The Pen Can is located in Harford, PA, which is about 2 miles from Oh! Pear. The Burger King and Flying J truck stops are both located in New Milford, PA about 3 miles from Oh! Pear.. Another factor to consider is the amenities offered by the truck stop. The Pen Can offers a variety of amenities, including a convenience store, a restaurant, and a laundry room. The Burger King and Flying J truck stops only offer a convenience store and a restaurant. Finally, you may also want to consider the hours of operation of the truck stop showers. The Pen Can showers are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Burger King and Flying J truck stops showers are open from 6am to 10pm. Ultimately, the best truck stop shower for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for the best quality shower, the Pen Can is the best option. If you are looking for the most affordable shower, Burger King is the best option. And if you are looking for a shower with a variety of amenities, the Pen Can is the best option. Please check prices as they are subject to change.

Each site is outfitted with a Big Horn 47" Wood Burning Ranch Fire Pit (with grill grate), a picnic table and the potential for an outside adventure.

If Hannah's Haven isn't available, or if you'd like to consider one of our other sites, please see: Liam's Lair (just upstream from Hannah's Haven) and, across the road, our newly opened site--The Serengeti. We limit to what we believe suitable the number of Hipcampers at each of our campsites. If, however, you are interested in adding to the limit, please feel free to contact us beforehand. If you forget something, and we're onsite, and we can assist, please let us know. NEW CAMPSITES/OFFERINGS ANTICIPATED THIS SEASON (please, however, check beforehand): Outdoor Movies: Bring your camping chair/sleeping bag and watch a movie under the stars in the spacious farmhouse backyard. Hannah's Haven Buyout: Additional details to follow. Sailor's Secret: This campsite can accommodate larger parties of eight (8) or more. After parking and a short walk, you stumble upon the most of serene of landscapes--bordered on one side by a closed oxbow water feature found on Oh! Pear Orchards north stream. The view from across from the campsite beyond the stream is the foot of a mountain. In all likelihood, you'll be sharing this location with beaver, turtles, fish, deer and waterfowl alike. Enjoy the seclusion; you deserve it. We are considering floating tents at this location and are very interested in your input. Lucky's Ledge: This 1200' linear campsite, a ledge cut into the escarpment within view of Oh! Pear south stream, lies about 60' above the stream. This campsite is for those Hipcampers who desire not to set up their own tent, but instead, have one pre-placed for them--or are welcome to bring their own. The ledge is merely 15' wide.....so watch your step! Accompanying this campsite is use during non-quiet hours of the spacious farmhouse backyard.

The best camping near Lackawanna State Park guide

Overview

About

Just north of Scranton lies a recreational dream-come-true. Lackawanna Lake and the surrounding state park offer up adventures of the summer camp variety and then some. The 198-acre lake is great for paddlers and small boats with electric motors. There are yurts and cabins for “camping” plus regular tent and RV sites.

Maybe the best time to visit is during a snowy winter, when you’ll find snowmobile and ski trails, plus a perfect spot for ice fishing and ice skating. Oh, and the sledding hills near the pavillion? We’re talking hours of fun!

When to go

The ideal time to visit Lackawanna State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer offers warm days perfect for water activities, though it can be crowded. Winters are cold, and some facilities may be closed, so check ahead.

Know before you go

  • Always check the weather forecast before planning your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Review the park's rules and regulations, including any fire restrictions or wildlife advisories.
  • Accessibility varies across different areas of the park; inquire ahead if you require special accommodations.
  • Bring your own water and snacks, as options may be limited within the park boundaries.
  • Remember to pack out all trash and leave the park as pristine as you found it, respecting the Leave No Trace principles.
