Through multiple Web searches it was still listed as Tunkhannock family campground. I cabin camped there in April 2007.
Describe your camping trip:
It was a trip of my dreams. We went on the opening weekend. It is under new management that you can clearly see is dedicated to making this campground all it can be. While they still have work to do, the bathroom was fully remodeled. We stayed in a one room cabin (a double and bunk bed) that had electric and a/c for in the summer. The tunkhannock creek it right there and beautiful. Cant say better things about this trip.
Pros: New bathroom, very friendly staff, right on Tunkhannock Creek, fully stocked camp store, reasonable prices, on site mini-golf and other activities.
Cons: Some garbage in the woods. You can tell they are still building and remodeling but very good seeing how the new ownership started in August and it was a harsh winter.
Nearby attractions: Susquehanna River, many local lakes, scenic Route 6.
Further comments:
Wonderful campground. I can't wait to go back next year and see all the improvements in full swing.

"After my experience at Tunkhannock Yogi Bear Campgrpund this spring, I will never take my family there ever again under this current ownership. First off, we accepted a promotion to camp one night free with the agreement to spruce up the campground. When it came to “cleaning” time, my family, including my elderly grandparents, was made to rake and pick rocks, not only in our area, but over the entire campground. People were even chopping wood and one camper had to paint a building, all this while the owners sat and watched! Another event that weekend, offered a free meal, which ended up requiring that you bring your own can of soup. One visitor was screamed at for not stopping at the front gate to pay a $5.00 visitors fee. Also, our neighbors had a 16 year-old visitor that left 5 minutes past visiting-hours and was surrounded by a group of people, including the owner, who blocked the road, and the boy had to call 911 after allegedly being assaulted. We are not the only group who had had difficulty with this campground. I was sharing my experience with a local business owner and found out that they had been “evicted”, losing $1,700.00 before the season had even started. Why? Their son drove into the camp to clean up their site and he didn’t stop to pay his girlfriend’s $3.00 entry fee! Again, the season had not yet started! Many people throughout the community share similar stories. One sweet old woman, a seasonal camper of 35 years and widow to a Korean War veteran, was forced to leave with no reason even given. The Yogi Bear Campground is certainly not family friendly or fun. They are just taking people's money. I have been traveling out that way for years and think Tunkhannock is a beautiful area and a tight nit community. I doubt very much that they will stand for this brand of business for long."
