Obannon is a great family campground. It fills up Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends but walk-in sites are available on a first come first serve basis. Most sites are shaded. The showerhouses are cleaned twice daily.

Hammock camping here is totally doable; most of the sites are in the shade with multiple trees. Three sections of campground. Nice bathrooms with showers. Playground for the kids.
