Went camping there for a full week! It was my best experience ever!

It's very clean there. You may find garbage from time to time but that's just from ignorant guests. The park rangers are very nice and appreciative when you pick up garbage. They do a very well job in maintaining the Park/Lake.

There is a nice little park, but recently a play car got it's steering wheel ripped out. The other one falls out. It's also a bit unstable, but don't worry, The park workers should soon fix it. The car is not dangerous though, Don't be too cautious of your child!

Usually around 2:00pm a nice little concession stand opens up. Selling many things including: Hotdogs, Hamburgers, Beverages, and many different delicious icecreams! This is perfect for after swimming!

Cabins come fully equipped! They have 2 bunk beds, 4 bunks all together, a cabinet, a table w/ bench, a fly swatter, and many guides to keep you are your family safe!

Yurts seem very nice too! I personally never had one, but they seem to have a kitchen and many other essential items!

Pets are allowed here! One thing to be cautious of is that they are not allowed everywhere. Dogs are especially not allowed near the lake. If you get caught by a Park Ranger, they will make you move the dog elsewhere.There are also certain spots they cannot pass. You will find signs saying this in parts of the forest.

If you are considering visiting, It'll be worth your...

Nice little state park. Free beach area with bathrooms. Parking is not close, so be prepared to carry your things downhill (a d uphill on your way home). I was here on a holiday, concessions not open, a bit loud and crowded but I have seen worse. Lake water is one of best I've ever seen with designated swimming area. No life guard on duty. They offer boat/kayak/canoe rentals. Theres a boat launch on the other side of the park if you have your own. A very nice lake to kayak in. Park rangers checked for our launch permits. Plenty of fishing spots and fish in the water. I stayed in a camping cottage/cabin equipped with: two sets of bunks, one bunk has lower full sized mattress, electricity, heater, covered porch and small table with bench inside. There is no AC or fan inside. The cottage is bigger than some others I've state at in state parks, and reasonably priced. They are in a shared area and have designated parking (so you will need to carry all of your stuff to it). There's a shared restroom in this area with showers . Cabins are fairly close together (10 maybe 15 feet apart), however during my stay the neighbors were quiet and respectful. My cottage had an over sized fire ring, which I just personally don't like as I can't see the flames. Overall, it is a nice park for...

This lake is definitely a family recreational area they have cabins that you can rent out they do nightly weekly installments not really sure about monthly and I don't know how much it cost but I know I have the pamphlet before they also have a lot of picnic areas where they have grills you can bring food and Cook Out are the only thing that I don't like about it is that the parking area from the parking area to the actual Lake it's a good maybe two hundred yards or more it's all downhill when you get there but when you have to leave it's an uphill climb the lake is always nice and clean they have stayed there that keep that nice and nice and clean they clean up very well they do have patrolman Fish & Game Club you cannot take alcohol there you'll get in trouble and there's definitely a wide variety of races everyone brings their radios and goes just when it's fun definitely...

Tuscarora and Locust Lake State Parks are located in Schuylkill County in Eastern PA in the foothills of Locust Mountain. Our itinerary: 🛖Rent a yurt at Tuscarora State Park. There are 4 yurts and 6 camping cottages available to rent. 1 cottage is dog-friendly. Yurts and cottages sleep 5. 🥾Spirit of Tuscarora Trail: 4.5 mi, moderate Lake View Trail: 2.3 mi, easy 🌭Lunch and Ice cream at @heislersdairybar ⛳️Mini golf at the Fairways (located behind the Dairy Bar) 🚶‍♀️Walk the easy 1.3 mi paved loop around the lake. There are playgrounds and exercise stations to keep kids entertained. 🔥Mountain pies for dinner at camp. Make sure to get your pie irons from @postmanoutdoors . 🌅Sunset over Tuscarora Lake These were the perfect laidback camping parks for a family weekend getaway.
