Timothy Lake South Campground in E. Stroudsburg, PA





a mouthful.







It's so hot right now... temperatures are in the 90s.  Shortly after Eric and I set up our motorhome on Site 123, it rained cats and dogs...  The temperature dropped and we decided to explore this sprawling (300 plus campsites) campground.





There's no obvious access
to the tower on the left
end of the Office/Camp
Store/Laundry Room.





The Playground & Pool are near
the Office/Camp Store.

This early1970s Chevy Truck

It looks like the porches of
these cabins are connected.






Some cabins, like this one
stand apart from others.

The Cellphone and WiFi reception is pretty poor here.  Other than that, Timothy Lake South Campground works as a home base for exploring northeastern Pennsylvania.
