FAQs

Keen Lake opens the closest Friday to May 1 and closes the Monday of the Columbus holiday; however, we accept reservations of 7 nights or longer year-round. We begin accepting reservations for shorter stays the first Tuesday after the New Year holiday.

The minimum age to rent a campsite or book a rental unit is 25 years of age. Keen Lake is a family campground with reasonable, but fixed quiet hours.

All sites are based on two adults and up to 4 minor children, one camping unit and one vehicle. Families Sharing a campsite with their camping unit (tent) will be charged the regular nightly fee.

The maximum number of guests for a rental unit ranges from four to seven.

Each campsite is equipped with a fire ring and a picnic table. You also have the option to request a site that has water and electric (20 amp) or a site with water, electric (30/50 amp), and sewer on site.

Each unit is furnished with pillows and blankets, dishes, cookware, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and Wi-Fi for streaming. Basic supplies (toilet paper, cleaning supplies, dish detergent) are included. Lawn chairs, a picnic table, a fire ring, and a gas grill (Keen Lake supplies the propane) are also at each rental unit.

Guests will bring pillowcases, sheets, and bath, kitchen, and beach towels.

Keen Lake does not permit tents to be set up in the yards of any of our rental units.  We would be happy to help any additional guests find a tent site as close as possible to your rental unit.

In order to ensure the enjoyment of our guests, the following guidelines have been established with the most sincere intentions to provide for the safety and well-being of all our guests and their pets:

• Keen Lake is pet-friendly throughout the park and on our waterfront.  Pets at Keen Lake have their own beach and lake access.  Up to Two pets per unit are permitted at either a pet-friendly rental unit or your own campsite.  A fee of $75 is assessed for each pet staying in a pet-friendly rental unit. There is no fee to bring your pets camping with you.  (It is possible to bring additional pets, but prior arrangements must be made with management.)
• Your Guests and Visitors may not bring pets.
• All pet eliminations/dog droppings must be bagged and disposed of immediately and are the sole responsibility of the pet owner. (We provide Dogipot bags at various locations for your convenience.)
• Pets should not be left unattended, particularly if their barking will disturb other campers.
• When outside your unit, pets are to be on a short leash at all times, unless tied on a strong durable chain or rope that will not allow your pet to extend off the site/lawn in any direction.
• Pets must be under the control of their owners at all times–we ask that  you do not allow your small children to walk your pet.
• Please bring your pets papers indicating vaccinations to be presented to our staff upon request.
• Pets (with the exception of service animals) are not permitted in the pool area, the people beach, the Game Room, the Movie Lounge, the Green Barn, Office or at Group Activities.

Campfires are the heart and soul of a great camping experience. Keen Lake provides a fire ring at all campsites.

Keen Lake does NOT permit ANY firewood to be brought onto Keen Lake property. ALL firewood must be burned prior to your departure. Please do not take it with you.

Keen Lake has locally cut firewood available for purchase at our office.

WHY? Over the years, a number of exotic invasive species have been detected in the United States, having gained entry largely through human activities, mainly the movement of goods and people. Since 2002, The Emerald Ash Borer has killed tens of millions of ash trees. Of particular concern to those of us in Northeast Pennsylvania is the Sirex Wood Wasp and the Spruce Bark Beetle—both of which have the potential to decimate the Commonwealth’s pine and spruce resources.

In 2007, recognizing the potential economic impact hitchhiking non-native invasive pests could have on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s communities, industries, and environment, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture enacted a quarantine order.  Firewood many NOT be transported across state lines and between commonwealth communities identified as having invasive species present.
