“Nice place to take your family to go camping and the people always have something to do with the camp site on the holidays”
- William Townend, google review
“It’s time to gather at the lake”
The Keen Family has been welcoming guests for 71 years, and it is as much a privilege today as it was for our parents, James and Dorothy Keen. Every day brings an opportunity to greet a returning friend or to meet a new one at the perfect camping setting of Keen Lake. We respect how valuable a commodity leisure time is, and our mission is to provide the opportunity for families to reconnect with each other and to connect with the splendor that is the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania!
