Note: The August 2018 flood significantly impacted the campgrounds. We lost campsites 1 through 5, the Barn Pavilion, and the electricity. We do anticipate the electricity being restored in the spring, but the pavilion will be dismantled and stored until a new location is chosen (outside of the campgrounds).
Please call the office for the latest information and to discuss your reservation interests. 570-967-7275.
We have 7 rustic campsites; 3 are walk-in only, and 4 can accommodate campers. They are $22/weekend night or $18/weeknight for PA residents and $24/weekend night or $20/weeknight for non-residents.
We have 3 rustic cabins (electricity is temporarily out; no running water); Cabin 1 sleeps seven, and Cabins 2 and 3 sleep five. They are $49/weekend night or $41/weeknight for PA residents and $52/weekend night or $45/weeknight for non-residents.

There are three tent camping sites in the campgrounds. Picnic tables and fire rings are provided. Restroom facilities are nearby, and drinking water is available from the Wheaton House outdoor spigot.
The Campground location is indicated on the map above.
We have four additional camping sites to the west of the Wheaton House and parking lots. They were created to accommodate campers and RVs. The sites, however, do not have hookups. Site 9 is along Silver Creek, between the back parking lot and the Williams Pavilion. Site 10 is in the West Meadow, behind the dairy barn. Site 11 is further back, tucked at the base of the hill, and Site 12 is at the far edge of the meadow, on Silver Creek. The sites have picnic tables and fire rings.
Once your date has been cleared with office personnel, you will need to pay for the reservation for it to be held. You can pay by credit card over the phone, or you can send the camping fee, along with a reservation form, to the Park. Click here for the Campsite Reservation Form.
Reservations are not confirmed until payment is received. Upon receipt of your check, you will be contacted and your reservation confirmed.
Refund Policy: Cancellations received one week in advance of the reservation date: refund provided minus a $10 cancellation fee per site for administrative costs. Cancellations received less than one week before the reservation date: no refund. Campers removed from the campgrounds due to noncompliance with the park's rules and regulations: no refund.
If you do not make a reservation, you can camp in any site that is not posted as reserved. Regarding payment, please note the following:
The Friends operate Salt Springs because the State cannot provide park services. To raise money to operate the park, the Friends depend on the HONOR system to collect your fees. Please support the park and the Friends by paying your camping fee in the following way:
Upon arriving at the park, go to the Wheaton House to get a Campsite Rental Envelope. If the Office is closed, get the Envelope and a Camping Information brochure from the literature rack outside, to the left of the Office door.
Then, go to the camping area and choose your camp site. Fill out the Campsite Rental Envelope, enclose the appropriate rental fee (from the Camping Information brochure), and insert the envelope into the green and yellow strongbox on the lane by the Pavilion.
You MUST pay for your site BEFORE you set up your campsite. You cannot defer payment until you leave.

There are three rustic camping cottages.
The cottages have electricity (which is at this time temporarily suspended due to flood damage) and bunk beds with mattresses. (Note that they are unheated, and space heaters are not allowed because they will blow the circuit.) Each cottage also has a front porch, picnic table, and fire ring. Restroom facilities are nearby, and drinking water is available from the Wheaton House outdoor spigot.
Cottage 1 has five single and one double bunk beds. It is the most secluded of the three and has come to be referred to as the "treehouse cottage" because of its setting.
Cottages 2 and 3 have three single and one double bunk beds. They are located around the edge of an open small field.
Firewood is available -- $5.00 for a 1’ x 2’ x 16" stack. It is located in a locked wood shed in the camping area. It is available for purchase from staff when the Wheaton House is open, April-September: Sat, 9:30 am to 4 pm; Sun, 12:30 pm to 4 pm; OR by chance.
