Breathtaking view of the Lehigh Gap at the Poconos mountains.
11 acres with access to a heated swimming pool and a breathtaking view of the gap in Palmerton, PA
Close to the city of Palmerton and 6 miles away from Jim Thorpe. Appalachian hiking trails nearby, D&L biking trails and whitewater rafting at the Lehigh river
Not bad, but not for everyone.
Pros: nice views, decently private, some sites have fire pit, bathroom with toilet, shower and utility sink.
Cons:
- campsites sit on too steep an incline
- listed as having electric and water for two sites, but it doesn’t not have electric at the site, but rather 200 hundred feet away, inside the bathroom only. Very misleading. Host ran an extension to the site for the camper that needed electric for heat, but this shouldn’t even be listed as a site amenity if it’s not on the site.
RV'd with a 25 ft tow trailer, entering was rough, experienced drivers only. Turns are tight until you get to back of property, which opens up to a gorgeous valley and view.
- For rv'ers, bring a generator, one spot is close to an outlet. And bring an adapter.
Getting into driveway is a bit of a challenge. And to come in and out of property, you'll have to rub along bushes to avoid a porch overhang, about 9 ft clearance (I'm 11' and had to turn very hard, but it's doable with a partner coaching you.
Allendale travel plaze is about 15 minutes away and has a dump station for 5 bucks.
- for tenters, terrain is sloped a bit with some level spots. There is a toilet and a shower with cold water only avail.
Water hookup avail by hose to house. And one rv spot electric hookup with extention cords.
Host greeted us and bid us farewell, and in between, gave us our privacy. Pool was heated.
Sunrise among the hills was breathtaking and the evenings were perfect. Would absolutely stay again, gracious host generous, responsive, not over bearing. Thanks for the quiet weekend!
Josephine's Farm was beautiful. Great views! Nice to have a picnic table and fire pits. Must bring canopy for shade. The land definitely slopes so just be prepared. Def not far from the Sunny Rest Resort and you can hear them partying into the early hours of the morning
It is a great location and views. Loved the fresh eggs and access to a bathroom & shower. Picnic tables and fire pits were perfect. Would warn about the slope in the field. If it was filled w/ other families there's no divide for privacy
Our stay at the campsite was wonderful! Patricia, our host, was incredibly warm and welcoming, always prompt in responding to our questions. The campsite itself was beautiful, with a well-kept and easily accessible washroom. We also enjoyed using the shared grill area, which added to the overall experience. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing getaway!
