Pokegama is a very nice spot to camp for a visit. At times it's noisy enough to inhibit conversation outside, but the sites are nice and the shade trees are awesome. Access to the river is very easy, and it's a short (2.5 mi) ride across the dam to Tioga MTB park. Bathrooms were clean, and everything worked. We'll stay there again.

Very quiet and peaceful. Was small but had a playground for our kids and some hiking so we were very happy. Only complaint was it was by the highway so was a little noisy at times but otherwise great experience!

Only stayed one night passing through. Site 20 near the dam was adequate other than the train that went by at 4am blasting their whistle for a loooong time. Can imagine it woke up the whole campground. Showers were clean. Easy access off the highway. Good fishing.

Beautiful campground, very clean and spacious bathrooms, and nice showers. I really liked the private disability combined bathroom and shower room that you can lock from the inside while showering.
The one problem was the tent sites, of which there are only 2. One is behind the other, and they are very close together so there is hardly any privacy. Especially if you are in the site right by the parking lot - you are open to the whole parking lot and driveway where everyone exits and enters :( there should probably be just the one tent site at the back there.
