Got questions? We've got answers! You can find info about almost everything you need to know before making a reservation and camping with us at Pine Cradle Lake Family Campground. If you have any other questions, please feel free to give us a call (570-247-2424) so we can help!
“How many people can camp on a campsite?”
Pricing is based on occupancy of four (4) guests on all sites. Children under the age of 3 are free and are not included in that count. There is an additional guest charge per person/per night - maximum 6 people total per site.
“Can we have friends and family visit us at the campground?”
Of course! All visitors must register in the office before entering the campground. We require a driver’s license in exchange for a gate card to access the park. Visitors have full access to the campground amenities for a small fee (contact the office for details). Our daily visiting hours are 9am to 9pm.
“What time is check-in and check-out?”
Campers are welcome to check in as early as 3pm the day of arrival. Check out as late as 11am for cabin/cottage rentals and 12pm for campsites and golf carts.
“Do you allow pets?”
Yes! Pets are family too. Campers may bring up to two pets per campsite (with a small per pet per night housekeeping fee if you are staying in one of our cabins or cottages). Please bring proof of rabies inoculation with you at check-in. All pets must be kept on leash and cleaned up after. Incessantly barking pets will be asked to leave the facilities.
“When is your swimming pool open?”
The swimming pool and splash pad are open from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend, weather permitting. Hours are typically from 9am to dusk. The splash pad is motion activated for energy savings!
“Can we bring firewood from home?”
It is against Pennsylvania's regulations to bring out-of-state firewood into the state. This is in an effort to control the Emerald Ash Borer and other invasive insects. Our camp store sells large bundles of firewood; however, you may still bring firewood from home.
“Can we bring our own golf cart?”
Yes! Only electric golf carts are permitted, and they must be registered at check-in. A mandatory annual permit must be purchased for each season. To receive this permit, you must show proof of insurance and agree to our golf cart policies, which include only licensed drivers operating the golf cart.
“Can we bring our own boat?”
Yes! You are welcome to bring your own boat, however gas motors are prohibited. Be sure to notify the office staff that you have a boat so that you can fill out a campground permit at check-in. We offer canoe, kayak, and pedal boat rentals. PA Boating laws require all boaters have a life vest and children under 16 must wear them. Boats may not be left unattended at the lake and must be locked when not in use.
“Can you swim in the lake?”
We unfortunately can not allow swimming in the lake. Our heated swimming pool is open Memorial Day to Labor Day!
“Is there fishing at the campground?”
Yes! Our 18-acre lake is stocked with largemouth bass, crappie, perch, sunfish, bullhead and more! Catch and release only. No fishing license is required as long as you are camping with us. We also sell nightcrawlers and artificial bait/lures at the camp store for your convenience.

Yes! You can access our wifi service from most areas of the park. There is an additional fee for this service. Please be aware we are in a rural area of PA and internet speeds are limited compared with what you may be used to at home.
