Lakota Wolf Preserve

The Lakota Wolf Preserve, located on the campground, offers educational talks and photo opportunities of a lifetime. Reservations are required for their tours and photo shoots, please visit their website to reserve. The howling of wolves, which can be heard while sitting at your campfire, reinforces the feeling of a remote wilderness setting, yet you are only a short drive from dozens of family attractions, restaurants and exciting shopping venues in the New Jersey Skylands and Pennsylvania Poconos.

While camping here you can walk around the outside of the preserve during the day when they are not doing a tour. To go on a tour you must book tickets in advance from their website at www.Lakotawolf.com Tours are limited and tickets, especially on weekends, do often sell out weeks ahead of time.

Attention Campers

Do not transport firewood!
In an effort to contain and eliminate infestations of the Asian Long Horned Beetle, Emerald Ash Borer, and other destructive insects and diseases, the NJDEP has placed a ban on the transport of firewood in NJ. Because of this threat to our forests, we can no longer allow campers to bring firewood from outside the campground. Anyone who does bring wood with them will not be allowed on the premises. No Refunds will be given. It is important that you inform all members of your party of this policy.

Our Mission Statement:

Through daily business practices focusing on promoting and preserving our natural resources, we strive to provide camping families a place to experience & reconnect with nature through vacations that are both fun and environmentally responsible.
