This place is awesome for family fun and very kid and pet friendly. The camp Host are great. How ever if you bring a watercraft beware the fishermen that like to fish around your watercraft. We had a hook in a seat last year and no one wanted to fess up to it. It's a real shame the money the campground brings in from the campers the rangers don't want to do anymore to stop the rude fisherman from fishing around thousands of dollars of water crafts. Otherwise the campground itself is great.

A more versatile cell service would be appreciated in case of emergency.

Didn’t plan ahead just decided to visit ended up with a non electric site the site was large sit at the table in the morning drinking coffee watching the boats go by it was a pleasant experience not elbow to elbow like the electric community after coming from Ives Run that morning it was a beautiful site and probably would go no electric again the dogs loved it and so did we

We have camped at Tomkins for years. It is so nice to get away from cell service for 4 days. We tent camp, but enjoy the grounds come rain or shine. If you forget anything the town of Lawrenceville or Elkland are only 10 minutes away. There is a bakery in Elkland that is open Tuesday to Saturday (Shorts Bakery) fantastic bake goods.

Really georgeous lake. Camp sight left alot to desire. People running genys all night when curfew was 10 . Two close to the road had alot of traffic . And it really smelled like the outhouse when the wind blew. Had people walking thrue our camp by our gear made the experience less then peaceful. Would maby stay again but wouldn't use the sight we stayed at. Left 2 days earlier then planned was just two much...

By far the best camping experience we have had. Would love to go back. Very quiet and private access to lake. We still feel like sitting by that lake. Warm water and best for swimming and kayaking. Kids friendly, we had a 6 month boy and a 3 years girl. Both enjoyed a lot.

I know there are rules but but we felt like no one talked or interacted with anyone else. We have been alone in our little bubbles for to long and people were absent. I never even saw coach for 2 weeks we were there.

Quiet, family friendly campground. Some of the best restrooms and showers that I’ve seen in a rural camp. Be prepared for very spotty cellphone service, though. There may be some at the sites near the water, but absolutely none in the upper ones.
