Jim Thorpe Camping Resort is a family-owned campground tucked into the forest of the Pocono Mountains near the historic borough of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania — a Victorian-era mountain town that's become one of the most visited destinations in the Lehigh Valley for its architecture, outdoor access, and arts scene. The resort offers RV sites, tent sites, and cabin rentals across a wooded property, with a pool, playgrounds, and recreational activities that make it work well for families staying multiple nights. The Lehigh Gorge State Park begins almost at the resort's doorstep. Whitewater rafting on the Lehigh River — ranging from family-friendly float trips for ages four and up to challenging Class III-IV rapids during high water releases — is the area's signature activity, and multiple outfitters in Jim Thorpe rent rafts, kayaks, and bikes for the D&L Trail that runs alongside the gorge. The trail is flat, shaded, and rideable for all ability levels. The borough of Jim Thorpe itself rewards a half-day of wandering: Victorian mansions converted to inns and restaurants line the hillside streets, the historic Mauch Chunk Opera House hosts live music and events, and the Asa Packer Mansion offers a look inside one of Pennsylvania's most preserved gilded-age homes. The Steam Train Rides through the gorge are a classic Pocono experience, especially popular with families. Hickory Run State Park and the famous Boulder Field — a National Natural Landmark covering six acres with boulders deposited by glaciers 20,000 years ago — make a worthwhile day trip for anyone who's covered the gorge and wants something different. Jim Thorpe Camping Resort puts the full lineup of Pocono adventures within easy reach. Book a site and build the itinerary around the river.
