Scotrun Thousand Trails

When we first arrived, they said they didn't have any record of us making a reservation and they were reluctant to let us in the gate. Finally they found us in their system. Then when we got an unlevel site, the guy at the desk didn't want to give us a different one and said, "You don't have leveling blocks??" He said almost all the others were occupied and reluctantly let us try another which was also unlevel but not as much as the first one. Also we had some noisy neighbors but they quieted down by quiet hours.

As a plus, the other employees were friendly enough. The place has plenty of dumpsters all conveniently located, and lots of relatively clean shower stalls with good hot water. Lake area is pretty. Very convenient to stores and shopping as well as natural Poconos beauty. We were able to use Passport America here.

All the activities ( pool, basketball, water slides) were closed due to virus but it was nice place. Only about a quarter filled. Kids fished. Was a member so didn’t pay

Having Had A Destination Camper In The Area For Decades This Was Our First Stay In Our New Life In A Travel Trailer. So We Haven't Been To A Lot Of Other Campgrounds Yet ,But What A Great First Experience Staying Here Was. Check In Was Easy And The Staff Friendly. They Are Available And There If You Need Them But They Also Aren't Hovering Either. Campground Is Clean And Easily Navigated. Pool Area And Water slide Is Well Kept. No Lifeguard On Duty But We Were Watching Our Kids Anyway. Fishing Pond Is Quiet And Relaxing. Some Of The Pool Music Mixed In With The Pond Time But The Proximity Is All That Was Causing That. The Bar Was Set High On Our First Traveling Trip But So Glad We Chose To Stay Here. Would Definitely Come Back
