Clayton Park RV Escape is rooted in a family tradition that spans over 160 years, beginning as a humble boat livery in the 1800s and evolving from commercial operations like an ice house and furniture factory. The property has long served as a retreat for visitors drawn to the natural beauty of Lake Henry, with trains once bringing socialites from Scranton to enjoy the countryside. Today, the park continues this legacy with a focus on preserving the land’s natural serenity and offering a restorative, regenerative experience. The family’s dedication to hospitality, outdoor passion, and community is reflected in every aspect of the campground’s operation.

The park is located on Eagle Eye Drive in Lake Ariel, PA, approximately seven miles from I-84, accessible via Exit 8 for Mt. Cobb/Hamlin. The approach involves a scenic, slightly narrow two-lane country road, leading to a private, gated community that offers a secluded, peaceful environment away from high-traffic routes.

Clayton Park Recreational Area maintains a strong online presence with thorough, well-documented information and a website optimized for search engines, ensuring clear visibility and easy access for visitors. Its digital footprint supports consistent, accurate representation across platforms.
