Highland Campground

Highland Campground is a campground in Dalton, PA, offering tent camping, RV sites, and cabin stays in a wooded setting. Located on 35 heavily wooded acres in the Endless Mountains region, the campground provides spacious sites surrounded by natural flora and wildlife. It serves families and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a peaceful, rustic camping experience. The property is situated near Scranton, Tunkhannock, Abington, and Clarks Summit, with access to local activities such as canoeing, kayaking, BMX racing, winery tours, and antiquing. The campground has been family-run since its founding in 1973 by John and Ruth Walker, who envisioned a serene retreat in the woods. In 2002, the business was passed to the Mayer family, who continue to preserve its original spirit and values.

The campground was established in 1973 on a gently rolling hillside with old growth forest, chosen by the Walker family for its natural beauty and seclusion. The original development was built by the Walkers and their children, with no prior experience in campground construction, relying instead on dedication and personal vision. The Mayer family acquired the property in December 2002 and have maintained the campground’s character and atmosphere, guided by the Walkers’ legacy. The site remains a destination for those seeking a traditional, low-impact outdoor experience in a quiet, natural environment.

The business is located on Gardeners Ln in Dalton, PA, within the scenic Endless Mountains region. It sits on a private, wooded parcel with no nearby public landmarks listed. The surrounding area features natural landscapes, including forested hills and streams, contributing to the campground’s tranquil setting.

Highland Campground is known for its long-standing operation, family stewardship, and emphasis on natural beauty and serenity. It has served the community for over five decades, maintaining a consistent reputation as a peaceful retreat for families and outdoor lovers in northeastern Pennsylvania.
