What Guests Are Saying
Tompkins Campground offers spacious, clean sites with friendly staff, making it a favorite for families and returning visitors. The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful lake for paddling, and well-maintained bathrooms contribute to a positive experience. While some areas could benefit from upgrades, many campers appreciate the reasonable prices and the campground's recent extension into the fall season.

Sometimes it's nice to get away from the "electronics world", but I really feel a cell tower near this campground would make it the ideal place to stay. I DO realize it isn't the responsibility of the campground to provide this, but I'm rating my overall experience. The hosts are great, the sites are plenty big, lots of hiking area, dog walking area, wildlife to enjoy, among other things. It's not a huge party campground so there's plenty of peace and quiet. We enjoy it there and will return. Lots of friends and family as it's in the area we call home.

Beautiful lake with excellent fishing and the campground in general is well maintained. However, there is no comparison between the PA state parks bathrooms and shower houses to US Army Corps of Engineers parks. Have been visiting several of the state parks around north central Pa over the years camping with the family and have been very impressed by the updated modern bathrooms in the state parks. I realize the parks probably don't make a lot of money from the campground fees but the federal parks would do much better to follow the example of the state parks and put some money into updating the bathrooms. They are very old, pit toilets suffice but should be updated if they want to complete with the state parks. Loved the park overall though and the lake, I would return but family not so much just do to the outdated bathrooms.

campgrounds were nice but bathroom could be upgraded. Biggest upset was being that there r 3 in that area coming from ny I went to ives run and had to then go to tompkins. I looked up on my email and somehow that happened. Please put addresses on comfirmation page so that doesnt happen again
