Shore Forest Campground

My family and I stayed here for several nights in an RV.

Pros: Sites are spacious. The electrical output was good. Campground is quiet at night and had some nice shade cover. Bathrooms were very clean. The tent sites near us were large and grassy with electrical hook-ups. They looked nice. There is a small laundry room. Though it looked like the one washing machine was broken, it worked just fine. $1.50 per wash and $1.50 per dryer load.

Cons: We had absolutely zero internet or cell service. When I asked at the front office, they let me know I could sign into their guest wifi while standing near the rec hall to make calls. This did work, but it was beyond inconvenient. The water pressure was almost non-existent. It was enough to take showers, barely.

Overall, I'd say this campground was worth the $45/night stay for a full hook-up site, despite some of the inconveniences. The park is over 75% seasonals, so keep that in mind if that kind of thing bothers you. We have a 31-ft travel trailer and it wasn't difficult getting in and out, but I wouldn't have attempted an RV much larger than that, as the roads are a bit narrow and curvy. Scranton is only 30 min away and there's plenty to do there.

Not a horrible visit. Mostly residents.

Good
Very friendly neighbors
Close knit community
Nice pool and hot tub
Well stocked camp store with food (restaurant) and essentials
Clean bathrooms
Our lot was spacious and didn't feel crammed.
Mostly trees/shaded
Fishing pond on site
Boat rentals.

Bad
Definitely caters to the local residents (And there are a lot of them)
Quite hilly
Lack of esthetics (a lot of unnecessary "junk" strewn about...Random dumpsters, unused broken equipment and stuff in plain view)
Wifi is not available throughout the camp.
Our Sewer drain has no cap/threads

Ugly
The roads need grading... Mostly loose rocks and gullies.
In dire need of ground maintenance (lots of unnecessary tall grass and weeds) very unkempt look.
Better signage.
Not much "local" stuff to do.

This is the best campground we have visited. We were treated like family and like we have been camping there our whole lives. The weekend activities are inviting and engaging for all. The site are large, clean, and affordable. We will be returning for the foreseeable future!

Nice campground with pool and hot tub. Even though it's pretty tight you didn't feel cramped because of the trees. Gravel camper sites so bring a rug. We went on a weekend and there's a little of activities going on, bingo, wagon rides, pool party etc. If you're into schmoozing and boozing then you'll have a great time. Otherwise night time doesn't really settle until 11 and the pool was packed most of the day. Free WiFi was a great bonus too!

Great place to take the kids. Outdoor swimming pool, play ground, activities for children and adults. Owners are wonderful and make you feel very welcome. Not many tent sites but the ones they have are clean and big. Hot free shower's, public campers toilets and very clean port-a-johns. Lake for fishing and boat rentals. Game room, small store and laundry room. All the veteran campers were friendly and polite.
