My Venture crew is going white water rafting and paintballing in Jim Thorp PA on may 3,4th. I just was noticed that Skirmish USA does not have campsites, so can some one help me find a camp site for 20 or so people near Jim Thorp PA that wont charge me money.


Thanks for your quick help.

Jim Thorpe - can't help you off the top of my head, Tea. Especially for 20 people! Do a websearch.

Hickory Run State Park has group campsites. There is a fee, but I would think it would be reasonable if the cost were spread around.

hickory run may be your best bet; you won't find a place for free. there might be a hostel at tobyhanna.

you should see if there are any Scout Camps in the area. Or maybe a local Troop could put you up somewhere.

The only other thing I can think of would be to camp out near the parking lot along the AT near Back Oven Knob. But that parking lot draws a lot of local weekend beer parties by the looks of things on Sundays.
