"This was our first visit to Keen Lake. We tent camped at site 145AA. There was electricity as stated and there was water. Unfortunately the water spigot for this site is a bit of a walk away, around the side of a large bush (not right near the electricity pole like we saw other sites have). Carrying water back and forth was a bit of pain since the picnic table was so far away from the water source. The electricity pole for this site is near the flattest part of this site but it was also very soft, muddy and wet. I have a long extension cord so I put our tent not in a muddy, soft spot but then we ended up on a bit of an incline (not super steep but also not the best. We made it work). This site also has no shade and it gets full sun all day. Unfortunately for our set up this was not ideal, we don’t have an easy up tent to put over our picnic table for shade so we baked in the sun a bit (we applied lots of sunscreen!). On the plus side our towels and swimsuits dried really fast in full sun. Also unlike other sites, this site does not have a little fence in between the sites to separate where each site starts and ends. And with no trees we had no where to hang our clothesline to dry towels. We made do draping our stuff over our chairs to dry, if I book this site again I would bring a drying rack. None of these things ruined our experience or our time at Keen Lake but they were annoyances I wasn’t expecting. Also parking up on the hill and having to walk everything down was also not ideal. Again, had I known I would have chosen differently. I wish the website had better descriptions of each site. The best thing about this site was the beautiful view of the lake. So aside from those annoyances we enjoyed our stay. We loved using the pool, it was very clean and a good temperature. There are lots of lounge chairs and tables to use. We didn’t swim in the lake but the beach was really nice and clean too. We rented an aqua cycle boat and that was a lot of fun too. We borrowed life jackets since I forgot to pack ours but I would recommend if you have your own life jackets bring them. The bathrooms and showers were also very clean and we appreciated that as well. Tent camping is fun but having access to amenities like that is a small luxury. We also enjoyed the many activities that were scheduled throughout the weekend for families to enjoy. My daughter and I had no lack of things to do. This was also a nice home base for us to be able to travel and visit some other points of interest (we drove to Claws and Paws Animal Park and visited Scranton). All in all I would highly recommend this campground if you are a tent camping family. We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay here again in the future."

"My son and I rented a glamping tent for 4 days at Keen Lake and already I want to go back. The staff was extremely nice, the store had just about everything you may forget to bring with you and the lake was absolutely beautiful. The queen bed in the tent was extremely soft and comfortable. The only negative was the 90+ heat wave we endured during the stay, but the lake was cool and it cooled off enough at night to sleep comfortably."

"Awe, what not to say, what an AWESOME time we had!!! our dogs absolutely LOVED it!!! Even though it rained the first 2 nights we still enjoyed the relaxing peace and quiet enjoying God's nature. We want to return in October, this time for 2 weeks. The only thing I could say negatively, which is nothing a cooler could not fix, was there no ottoman to rest our legs spending so much relaxing time on the porch this was a MUST. Other than that there was NOTHING to complain about, the staff work very hard, they are very friendly, Big shout out to the Ice cream girls, for the BIG 3 scoops of delicious Ice cream just about daily!! ~ We will see you soon Keen Lake ~ Lisa and Joe Bennie"

"This is the Best Friendliest fun living Camping Ever. We rented the Farmhouse on the lake and did paddle boating, hiking and arts and craft. We stayed in our Tents the least time we came and it still was everything on the grass. The staff are very accommodating. We loved it and Will Always go Back."

"Keen Lake Glamping Experience was the BEST I will say that this visit was one of, if not, the best camping experiences that my wife and I ever had. Despite the rain we had each day of our visit it was very comfortable and quite relaxing. The “glamping” sites are the absolute BEST, especially when rain is in the forecast. No setup, no breakdown, and the site as EVERYTHING you might have when in a hotel room; (A queen-sized bed (which BTW was super comfortable), a mini fridge, a microwave, & a coffee pot “with filters”)! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! This particular site “the Willow” is right on the water so as soon as you wake up you see the water…breathtaking! It is a bit pricey, however, I highly recommend a “Glamping” experience at Keen Lake. We will definitely return again this season!"

"We were camping with our travel trailer. The staff was wonderful and very helpful and friendly. We brought our kayaks and enjoyed paddling around the lake almost every day. The pool was wonderful and we enjoyed it very much. The camp store had everything we were looking for. We will be back again as this has become one of our favorite camp grounds."

"We were absolutely SPOILED by Keen Lake campground. Every camp we’ve been to since our weeklong visit has been disappointing compared to them. Our week long stay in the lakefront area was a dream. Perfect breeze, gorgeous views, and friendly neighbors. The pool and beach area were super clean. The cute camp store had everything you could need along with ice cream and food. Only thing I want to point out is that some of the spots are tight and you really have to maneuver big campers to get them in there. I wouldn’t book a water front spot if you are not confident in your parking skills and being able to navigate without hitting someone."

"Keen Lake glamping was the PERFECT girls getaway!!! Three of us stayed at the Hawthorne lakefront family glamping site. Pictures do not do this justice. It was exactly as advertised and SO much more! Clean and ready when we arrived. Cooler, mini fridge, microwave, beds, tables, chairs were all in great condition! Bathroom options were plentiful and well maintained. Pool and lake were wonderful. Lots of activities to choose. Highly recommend and will return!"

"We got to enjoy the second half of our stay in Pennsylvania at Keen Lake. We only stayed for two nights which was not long enough! We did not know about all the cool activities they do for children and will definitely be coming again and bringing our little one. They have a nice little store right on the grounds that has quite literally everything you could need for camping and more! Everyone was super friendly and the place was beautiful."
