Otter Lake Camp Resort, Marshalls Creek, Pennsylvania

No matter what time of year you choose to visit, the first thing that you will notice is the beauty of your surroundings. Each season paints its own colors onto the 250 wooded acres at Otter Lake Camp Resort and the 15,000 acres of Pennsylvania State Forest that surrounds it. Fully equipped campsites are available year-round and make a great "home base on the lake" for your golfing, boating, fishing, skiing, sledding and snowmobiling adventures.

Swimming, license-free bass fishing (hooray!) and a sand beach are all part of the fun at the lake. Bring your own boat (electric or human-powered only) or rent a rowboat, canoe or paddleboat at the resort. The outdoor pool facility includes a diving area and a heated kiddie pool. Serve up some fun at the four tennis courts, two racquetball courts, full basketball court and the softball field, which are all well-lit for evening play. Horseshoes and shuffleboard are also available. The kids have five fully-equipped playgrounds to explore.

An Indoor Pool Complex offers off-season fun at the heated pool and the steam & soaking pleasures of a sauna and whirlpool. The resort's Game Room has two pool tables and a variety of pinball & video games. The Activity Center hosts our ceramics, arts & crafts, spring & fall movies, summer church services, other resort events and a free lending library. This facility is also available at your request for your group rallies and reunions.

Otter Lake Camp Resort has plenty of conveniences available at their spacious, scenic campsites. Paved roads make getting your RV to the site easier than scraping shellfish off a rock. Each site features a fireplace, two or three way hookups and even cable TV! "Big Rig" drivers will be happy to hear that pull-thru sites are available. If you're like me and like to stay close to the water, the premium Lakefront Sites are simply a joy!

If you're the kind of old-fashioned camper that doesn't go in for much fuss, there are plenty of rustic sites for pitching a tent.

Otter Lake features 8 deluxe, heated restrooms with separate hot showers and dressing areas. Keep your campsite well-stocked with supplies, including firewood and propane, from the convenience store (no fried froggy snacks there for yours truly, yet). Washing chores are made a whole lot easier at their two onsite laundromats.
