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.

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.

Uncle Willie's

6 sites ¡ RVs, Tents20 acres ¡ Stroudsburg, PA
Once known as the Middaugh Farm , this property produced Corn, Buckwheat, Pigs, Chickens, and White Clay.  Forced to sell off a northern 70 acre Tract, which is now off the Tax Roles and held by the DOI,  and other non contiguous properties to help maintain the remaining 268 acres, The streams host turtles, crayfish and minnoes.  Deer , Rabbits, Squirrels, Foxes, Chipmunks, Coyotes (not the immigration kind, ) and the occasional Black Bear occupy the area. Named after my Father, who passed October 09 2017.  It is my goal to keep the property undeveloped, and ON the tax rolls through funding via access to members who enjoy the Dwindling Great Outdoors.  I hope to keep this in the family for a few more generations, while sharing the beauty and abundance of nature with others who have little opportunity to experience what I have, growing up in Rural America.

The best camping near Tobyhanna State Park guide

Overview

About

Find yourself 2,000-ft high (read: bring a jacket, like mama taught ya!) and winsomely surrounded by a lakeline tousled with alder, in the rustic Tobyhanna State Park. The 17-acre Tobyhanna Lake will keep your gills golden, and a campground with hot showers and flush toilets will keep your bod pretty spiffy too! Hike through a range of trails, with offerings for everyone from the timid novice to the gallant-hearted rock trotter(yes, a few of the trails require some fancy footwork!) Word to the risk-takers—stay on-trail—old, live artillery shells have been found from time to time. Yhew!

When to go

The best time to visit Tobyhanna State Park is during the summer months when the weather is warm and the park is fully accessible. Fall also offers a spectacular display of foliage. Winters can be harsh, with snow limiting access to certain areas, making it less ideal for a visit.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Be aware of park hours, which may vary by season, to plan your activities accordingly.
  • Remember to pack out all trash and leave the park as pristine as you found it.
  • Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking and exploring the park's diverse terrain.
  • Stay informed about any park advisories or closures by visiting the official Pennsylvania Department of Conservation & Natural Resources website.
