OTTER LAKE CAMPGROUND AND RESORT, EAST STROUSBERG PA

CAMPGROUND REVIEW: Otter Lake is a very nice RV resort in the Pocono PA region. If you are an outdoor person, likes boating, fishing, adventure sports, skiing in the winter months ( not sure how that works with campground most of them close for the winter) this may be the place for you.   A lot to do for families.  Beautiful lake to walk around or bike.  Quiet in the spring, I'm sure this place is teaming with families in the summer months. They have an indoor and outdoor pool.  Tennis and raquetball, baseball field, boats, kayaks, canoes , paddle boats all for rent.  There are several play grounds, plenty of bath houses , bathrooms and Laundry facilities, club house.  Located within the Delaware Water Gap ( Delaware State Forest) there is much hiking and biking to be had away from the resort.

We chose a site by the lake, beautiful, very peaceful , and relaxing. The site is however not level.  As I am typing this I am sitting at the picnic table  sloping downward toward the lake.  The trailer is also on a slope making you feel like you are in a fun house or somewhat off balance when inside.

Otter Lake is really nice, I have no major complaints.  I rate my experiences as :  WOULD LOVE TO GO THERE AGAIN and BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.  Otter Lake for me is a BEEN THERE DONE THAT. Nice place to visit but have no desire to return.  otterlake.com

We have only been doing this RV travel thing since May of 2013-- so it's only been 1 year.  We have visited Elk Neck State Park in MD-- love it there went twice in a camping season , spring and fall. ELK NECK STATE PARK NORTHEAST MD  , SPRING GULCH CAMPGROUND NEW HOLLAND PA  in Lancaster Co. Pa , and TRAP POND STATE PARK DE  These 3 campgrounds so far are our favorites and on the WOULD LOVE TO GO THERE AGAIN list.  We are headed back to Spring Gulch in July.  We like the comfort level, the fit , the feel of the campground and the surrounding area to explore . Just thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable.  Things to do if you want to but just a nice area to build campfires, hang out and relax. 

All 4 of these parks named here are dog friendly camp grounds
