What clients say about Promised Land State Park Beechwood Camping Area in Greentown (PA)
The Beechwood section is basically for RV camping, but tents are allowed. Sites have electricity but water is only available from pumps located in each section. Of about 100 sites half permit dogs. Bathrooms have warm showers and are cleaned each morning.

Quiet camping the end of August in Beechwood campground. Amenities are within driving distance. Beach and swimming is crowded as it is a public day use area. Lake was not accessible from our location except for fishing. Hiking is a lot of tree roots and rocks. Bathrooms are an A+
Our RV had no issues getting in or out. We unhooked our car at the Park office. Check in was ok, not the friendliest people, kind of like you were a bother. Think it was just this person.
Nonetheless, Lower lake camping very nice. Nice green spaces between sites, sites level, no internet. Didn't really mind, It was actually nice to unplug. Went bike riding, down to lake, hiking on nice trails and around the park. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained, as was the park. Rangers drove by a few times, felt safe.
Neighbors dog NEVER stopped barking during the day into the evening. Looked like a Labrador Retriever, not sure, barked at everyone that passed by thier site. Then this same dog, who was not leashed, went after another dog, who was on a leash, going for walk with its owner. The irresponsible owner finally was able to get thier dog off the leashed dog. This kind of freaked me out about leaving my site to go bike riding or walking. I carried mace with me in case the owner was irresponsible again, leaving the dog off the leash.
Will definitely be back, really beautiful!
Love Promised Land State Park, but, the men's bathroom, shower was not at all orderly, and no attempt made to keep the grass cut, other than around the camp hosts site.
It's a really nice park. The grounds are kept, and the lot spaces are, for the most part, all good with modern electricity hookups. While each site does not have its own water hookup, there are a few taps that can be accessed by the majority of the sites. There is lots to do nearby with the large lake, dam, a beach for swimming, kayaking, hiking, and more. The only slight negative is that the bathroom facilities are showing their age a bit. But they are still quite servisable. Cell service is spotty at best, and there is no WIFI
Great camping trip. Sites are paved, level with electric. There is no water at the site. We stayed in Beachwood camp area. Very private, beautiful, very limited to no internet reception. The sites are a little small but there is large wooded area between sites.
Had a pleasant stay. Staff was great and friendly and answered any questions in a nice manner. One child or childish person did make a mess in the mens bathroom. It would get cleaned up and he would go back in and do it again. Staff did try thier best to be on top of it though. Too bad they couldn't find out who it was. Other than that everything else was great!
Every staff member and camp host was super nice and very helpful. They answered all our questions about the area or the park. We stayed 5 nights and while visiting we kayaked both lakes, fished the smaller lake. Bicycles all over the park. The park is very clean and well maintained.

This was our second visit to the Beechwood section. Most sites seem appropriate for trailers, but some are really great for tents. The assistants are great for local info like where to get firewood. There are hiking trails. The only reason I didn't give the 5th star is because the showers had some mildew, but hopefully they can clean them more often. Hot showers and bathroom facility was generally clean otherwise. Rangers drive by once or twice a day to make sure everyone is having a good and peaceful time. All in all, a solid place for car camping.
It's a clean Campground, but it would have been nice to know the bathrooms are out of order for now. The have some portables, or you need to drive to Pickerel Point. But the power works, the site we had was very level, and it is clean.
