    The owners were very nice and helpful to all needs, they even helped fill up our tire when we had a flat.

    Nice and clean campground with tent and RV sites. Some of the sites have more privacy and tree…read morecoverage than others. The bathrooms and showers are clean and the store sells ice and firewood (no outside firewood allowed). Each tent site has water and electricity, a fire pit (with built in BBQ grill), and a picnic table. There's a play field with 2 Cornhole sets (bags can be borrowed from the store) and a pond for swimming (but no dogs allowed). There's good hiking and access to a river nearby about a short 10 minute drive away. Prices are higher than other spots in the area - tent sites are $55/night for 2 adults plus $17 per adult per night with max of 4 adults per site. If you arrive before 3pm, they'll charge you $6 per person for an early check in (unless it's a busy weekend when you'll have to pay for an extra night at $55). I arrived at 1pm and hoped they'd just waive the fee given that it was a super slow weekend and there were a ton of tent sites available (including mine), but unfortunately the manager insisted that I either pay the additional fees or wait around for 2 hours. The staff were very nice and sweet and were willing to compromise given the absurdity of the rules based on just a 2 hour early arrival, but then unfortunately their manager (elderly guy - based on other reviews I'm gonna guess it was Mr. Taylor) came out and was rude and condescending about the whole thing which was disappointing, particularly since I've been to this campground several times over the years and usually have a really good experience. Other than Gramps McRuderson (aka Mr. Taylor), I had a decent time with my friends here and would consider going back (so long as we don't cross paths with Mr. GrumpyFace on one of his "bad" days lol).

    This place is extremely unprofessional. Evicting my family over a review saying, "it's not what it…read moreonce was." Well, it isn't. This place used to be great, now it's absolutely pathetic. The roads have pot holes all over them, everything is extremely outdated. The pool is usually green with algae. The bathrooms are disgusting. The children's park is extremely outdated, enjoy camping on rocks, and hills. My family did not sue when a tree came through our camper, and destroyed it. Something the campsite is supposed to handle.. yet my family repaired their camper, and continued to stay there. They were there almost every single weekend, no late payments, no issues. They were customers for years. It's pathetic that the owners act like children, and will legitimately ignore you. They act as if their place is a gift to anyone that stays there, and you should be considered lucky if you get to stay there. When in reality you should be considered lucky you did not need a tetanus shot after coming there.

All worked out pretty well. We made reservations for a camp site in advance, arrived late in the evening right after the sunset and were greeted by a friendly staff at the campground. Our ranger showed us all available sites generously offering his tips and taking into account our considerations. There are bathrooms, hot showers, and even laundromat on-site. Perfect location, close to Delaware Water Gap. Definitely coming back.

    Hello Yelp World! This is my first review, not for a restaurant, but for this spectacular hike up…read moreMount Tammany at Worthington State Forest. So I've picked up hiking the last few years because not only is it great exercise and you get to enjoy awesome views but it's free, unless you count the cost of getting there. My first attempt at hiking here was denied several weeks ago when I came on a Sunday at 10am, huge mistake! Because of the pandemic, only the Kittatinny Point Visitor Center lot is open, and by this time on a weekend the parking lot was packed to the gills. So do yourself a favor and either avoid coming here late, or not come at all on a weekend, otherwise the park ranger will turn you away if the lot is full. Today I got here at 9am. Score!!! Only a half-dozen cars were parked here on this Monday morning. Follow the signs to the beginning of the red dot trail, which is located on the west side of Route 80, to begin this challenging hike. There are other trails at Mount Tammany but the red-blue trail seems to most popular. Be warned, the trail is quite steep and will involve a lot of rock scrambles. I will admit my teenage son was flying up the mountain while I was taking it slow and gasping for air, haha! So if you haven't twisted an ankle or got bit by a rattlesnake or copperhead - yes, there is a signpost warning about the snakes, but I didn't see any - you will come upon two overlooks with beautiful views of Mt. Minsi and the Delaware Water Gap. The first viewpoint is about three-quarters of the way up the red trail and the other one is at the summit. You should definitely scramble down the rocks a bit if you're comfortable with it to get much better vistas. After taking in the views and catching your breath you will continue along the red dot trail which will connect you with the blue dot trail. Follow the blue trail to descend the mountain. While not as steep coming down, there are still lots of loose rocks that you need to be wary of. As you near the end of your hike on the blue dot trail, you are rewarded once again with a beautiful little waterfall. Hikers were wading in the stream here to cool off, but I took a pass. Once you've finished taking your pictures here, cross the bridge and continue on the white trail, which is actually part of the Appalachian Trail, and you will end up back at the beginning of the red dot trail where you began. You can now go back under the underpass to head back to your car at the visitor center.

NYS doesn't have a centralized booking system for campsites like NJ does which makes the, booking, experience so much easier especially for noobs like me. I visited the group camping site at this state park for a large meetup family group camping trip. I passed several solo camp sites down the road leading up to the group camp site and all the sites seemed to be situated nicely along the road side. Working facilities are near the individual camp sites but for the group sites you get the good 'ol fashion out house which I wasn't a fan of but managed to drop it like it's hot as needed right down into the abyss of a hole for the toilet. No showers or working facilities near the group site but you can drive over to one for a hot shower. The best part of this state park is the absolutely awesome astronomy club that has an observatory you can visit and use the super expensive telescopes to see other planets with the guide of an astronomer. The staff at the astronomy club are all eager and delighted to answer questions to all who are curious. Peering through a telescope to see the rings of Saturn is absolutely awesome! If interested the observatory is located within a stones throw from the main park entrance at 333 State Park Road, Great Meadows, NJ 07838. The observatory is free to visit but they do have donation bins there to help support their projects and facility. While this state park doesn't have as many camp sites as other locations I've visited, the astronomy club makes this place an epic visit!
