What guests think

Camptel Poconos offers a distinctive glamping stay in container-style tiny homes set among woods, with many guests praising comfortable, well-equipped units, friendly staff, and thoughtful communal amenities like hot tubs, games, and fire pits.

Some reviewers reported maintenance and communication problems, including heat or AC malfunctions, difficulty reaching staff after hours, and occasional Wi‑Fi outages. Cleanliness is generally solid, though a few guests found leftover trash, hair, dusty spots, or stale smoke odors. The on-site restaurant/bar can be enjoyable when open, but closures and a few food quality concerns were noted. Expect a nature-focused, semi self-service stay with memorable amenities and occasional rough edges.

We enjoyed our stay. Hot tubs were dirty, we would not use them. It is a cute concept, tiny homes, it is a shame that the grounds of the entire area wasnt kept up. The enjoyed our dinner at the restaurant.

My boyfriend and I just got home from a fantastic weekend getaway in Jim Thorpe/Poconos. We stayed at what I would consider the greatest campground I've ever been to, honestly better then any place I've stayed at. Camptel Poconos Glamping Resort and the managers are the freaking best. The camp ground itself are storage containers turned into cabins set up on your lot with covered seating, grill, propane fire pit. Our cabin, Thor, had a porch and balcony off the back, inside was a living room with a pullout sofa, kitchenette, bathroom with shower, and a queen size bed in its bedroom. Everything was just the right size for the two of us and never in each other's way. It was nothing less of perfection. In the common areas of the campsite is a huge fire pit surrounded by chairs, a few games, gym, and hot tubs. Even with all the rain we were able to roast a couple marshmallows 😋 and enjoy everyone's company. We lost power the first night and the managers came around to check on us, offering anything we would need to be comfortable during the outage. Also, which was beyond expected, came and picked us up from the concert venue when we couldn't find an uber or lyft!!! There is no doubt in my mind we will be back!!!! Thank you Camptel for such an amazing weekend 💕

We had a nice time at Camptel. Our trailer was super cute and clean. Our kids loved their loft bed area. Overall the accommodations were great and we liked the amenities including the hot tub and bouncy slide. We were, however, disappointed that the restaurant was not open and we weren’t warned that it wouldn’t be open because we didn’t bring any food with us and had to leave to go to the Dollar General to get some basics. We also thought the price was high considering it wasn’t a busy weekend. I’d recommend this to people who will be nearby and won’t mind that there is no swimming/body of water on the property.

Pros: Great staffs. Amazing food at the on site restaurant. Sound-proof unit. Nice beds. Clean rooms. Each unit had a A/C and TV. No loud music. Fire pit in the common area. Big chess. Bouncy slide. Hot tub. Gym and Sauna. More grills in common area. Close to Hawk falls. Cons: BBQ grills is NOT fixed to the ground. It can easily fall. It’s not safe. Had a hard time to unlock the door with the passcode. Water pressure was unstable sometimes. Not for star gazing. Too bright.

Camptel is the kind of place you want to tell everyone about, and you also want to keep it a secret. Such a great glamping experience. Containers are decorated inside beautifully. All the comforts of home. Each site has its own BBQ grill and firepit. There is a fee for propane for firepit, so worth it. There are 3 hot tubs that are also in private containers as well as a zen zone amd gym . There is a beautiful community fire pit area. Also horseshoes, cornhole, bocce and a giant chess set. There is also a bounce house for the kids. Just a fantastic experience. Close to Penns Peak, Jim Thorpe and white water rafting and ski resorts. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great stay at Camptel Poconos! We had a wonderful stay at Camptel Poconos! The property strikes a perfect balance between community and privacy — plenty of shared spaces to meet other guests, but also quiet areas to unwind. Our site had a convenient propane fire pit, which we loved using in the evenings. One night we met another couple making s’mores over a wood fire in the community area — such a fun, friendly atmosphere. As we walked the grounds after dark, we appreciated how nicely the property was lit and even stumbled upon a jumbo outdoor checkerboard, which was a great surprise! We also noticed three hot tubs on-site — we didn’t pack for that, but it’s a great amenity to have. The owner/manager who handled our check-in by text was extremely nice and responsive, which made everything easy. The only disappointment was that the on-site bar and restaurant were closed during our stay. I was told they’re planning to reopen later this winter and are trying to get the listing updated. If that’s something important to you, I’d recommend calling ahead to confirm before booking. Our only minor issue was with the heat in our specific unit — the thermostat was located in the loft, so the downstairs stayed pretty chilly. It wasn’t a big deal for us since we mainly used the loft (which stayed nice and warm), so we didn’t bother reporting it. Overall, Camptel Poconos is a really unique and enjoyable place to stay — peaceful, well-designed, and full of thoughtful touches.

Pros - The staff, location and concept were great. Beds extremely comfortable. Sufficient heat given in cabin. Wifi was good great access to t.v. channels. Cons - Conditon of my space disappointing. The sheets were stained hair from prior guest found in bed. The floors had been soaked through in some spots due to rain so that made it very uncomfortable to walk around. Not given enough tissue or towels. Thank goodness we brougt our own. Did not have enough propane for fire pit table so we could not use night we arrived and could not experience next night due to rain. So we missed out on that, something we were looking forward to doing.

The container house was clean, comfortable, and really super cool. My friend and I stayed in the unit named Happy. We absolutely loved it. We used this as our home base to visit Jim Thorpe and surrounding areas. When we had a question the property reps responded promptly. We had difficulty lighting the fire pit as we didn't know how to do it. They sent a guy over to help us. I tried to start my car one morning and found the battery was dead. One of the workers helped us out with a jump start. It is great when service is responsive and timely. Last but not least, should you wonder, we bought our food in Leighton using grocery stores and a food truck selling Barbeque - yum!

What a great place to stay. Our container home was very roomy. It was very clean and had all the comforts of home. Nice size refrigerator microwave' coffee pot, paper products, disposable utensils all provided. Bed and sofa werevery comfortable. The outaide area was super nice and for $30 they come hook up your gas firepit. Which is totally worth it. There is a restaurant on site, we didnt eat there but it appeared to be very busy. We cant wait to stay there again. It is our underatanding it is under new management and they are doing everything possible to make updates. Give it a try!0

Really wanted to love it. Booked as a solo 2 night trip. They want $35 to check in early at 2 rather than 3 so I just sat outside the empty, ready to go cabin until 3pm to avoid having to pay more money than I already had. Once I brought my bags in, I realized the AC unit was off, giving an error. They reset it 20 min later, worked for 3 mins and died again. I was put in another cabin 25 mins after that, which was half the size of the one I booked prompting me to check the prices. Sure enough, the replacement cabin was $120 cheaper than what I paid for and this was not mentioned to me. It was also directly along the street, whereas my other cabin was further in away from the traffic noise. When I called to ask for the refunded difference, I was told it’ll automatically be credited back to me through Expedia so hoping that happens. When I returned later that night I realized my bed wasn’t even finished yet, with nothing but a bottom sheet on it. By this time, no one was available to call. Thank GOD I had an emergency blanket in the car, because I would’ve had to sleep with the bath towels. The blinds did not close all the way, forcing me to change/shower with the lights off and a dimmed flash light because as a solo female it was uncomfortable knowing anyone from the street or other cabins could see into mine. Long black hairs in the shower/toilet, crumbs/stains on sink. Cherry on top, I ate half a raw omelette @ their brunch before seeing it was raw.

Everything was so cute and quaint. I’ve never been camping or glamping before. I didn’t expect a TV at all, but then was disappointed that it didn’t really work. It wasn’t connected to the Wi-Fi and it wouldn’t stay connected once I figured out how. So because of that, I was disappointed. I also didn’t realize that there was a way to choose what kind of tiny home you stayed in - if you wanted a big or small one, or with a coal grill, etc. again, nothing that was so horrible, just didn’t know about it. Now that I know, I will come better prepared the next time. We WILL be returning - we loved it!

We initially got to our house and the heat was not working. It was 43 degrees inside. Guest services was closed (although it was during business hours) but the restaurant helped get ahold of someone for us who gave us a baseboard heater. After returning from dinner the house was 42 degrees and no heaters were working. We waited another 30 minutes for hekp to arrive. They placed us in the house next door. A few hours later people put the code i to our lock and were trying to open the door (luckily we had the bolt on). They had the correct code because they were booked for that house. We were NEVER avle to get ahold of guest services during our stay or after. We are trying different abgles to get a refund as we didnt feel safe and left early.

While the properties were beautiful, but DO NOT trust the staff here. When we arrived to our stay the entire property had lost power due to weather. When I called the property to check-in, they notified us of the power outage and promised us a refund if we requested one. We decided to sit in the parking lot for a period of time prior to requesting a refund in the hopes that the power would come back on. After 1 hour, we decided to request a refund and leave. The staff promised us a refund and processed the request, but it’s been over a month and they have since rescinded their promise. I payed full price expecting all of the services they provide, and received nothing but still paid full price. I have called 3 times and emailed them but they keep ignoring my communications. I will not be returning again!

Overall, my family of 4 had a great time! It was cozy and comfortable. The location was great, 2-minute drive from Falls Hawk Trail which we also enjoyed. Easy check-in (done remotely). I have a couple of comments to add for improvement for future guests. I love the kitchen, 9/10 which is complete with a ref, microwave, coffee maker, dishwashing soap, paper towels, kitchenwares and an electric stove, I wish they provided more cookwares, they only have 1 small frying pan in our unit, I don’t know about the other ones though I could have brought from home. Our bathroom was an 8/10 just because the door knob was broken, my husband had to fix it and for some reason, there’s a foul smell when exhaust fan was on. The no-no for me was the couch which was full of dog hairs, they were on our clothes and my son was allergic but we had his medicine so it was under control, we just had the bed rolled down the entire time. Another thing is the brown blankets which had human hairs, probably not washed thoroughly, but I brought our own blankets so it was no biggie. We are used to regular tent camping so this was really glamping! Like I said, our weekend stay was great and will come back here again during summer. I’ll know what to expect and what to bring next time. Would definitely recommend to friends, a lot of them are already asking! 😄

Great stay for two nights. We enjoyed the lawn games, gym, sauna, hot tub and grill! Close to a great hiking spot and to rafting. Would come back for sure.

Camptel is the kind of place you want to tell everyone about, and you also want to keep it a secret. Such a great glamping experience. Containers are decorated inside beautifully. All the comforts of home. Each site has its own BBQ grill and firepit. There is a fee for propane for firepit, so worth it. There are 3 hot tubs that are also in private containers as well as a zen zone amd gym . There is a beautiful community fire pit area. Also horseshoes, cornhole, bocce and a giant chess set. There is also a bounce house for the kids. Just a fantastic experience. Close to Penns Peak, Jim Thorpe and white water rafting and ski resorts. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was a unique experience to live in a tiny house up in the mountain so close to Hickory State Park and a short trail walk to the beautiful Hawk Falls Tiny house it is but everything is there. Nice comfy beds and amenities can’t be beat for this tiny house. Great host! Checks with you if everything is ok Looking forward to stay again in Summer

We enjoyed our stay. Hot tubs were dirty, we would not use them. It is a cute concept, tiny homes, it is a shame that the grounds of the entire area wasnt kept up. The enjoyed our dinner at the restaurant.

Great place to stay with my Son I did not give it a five star rating because the propane tank was empty for the outdoor gas fireplace and the cost of breakfast was extremely high

We had a nice time at Camptel. Our trailer was super cute and clean. Our kids loved their loft bed area. Overall the accommodations were great and we liked the amenities including the hot tub and bouncy slide. We were, however, disappointed that the restaurant was not open and we weren’t warned that it wouldn’t be open because we didn’t bring any food with us and had to leave to go to the Dollar General to get some basics. We also thought the price was high considering it wasn’t a busy weekend. I’d recommend this to people who will be nearby and won’t mind that there is no swimming/body of water on the property.

Pros: Great staffs. Amazing food at the on site restaurant. Sound-proof unit. Nice beds. Clean rooms. Each unit had a A/C and TV. No loud music. Fire pit in the common area. Big chess. Bouncy slide. Hot tub. Gym and Sauna. More grills in common area. Close to Hawk falls. Cons: BBQ grills is NOT fixed to the ground. It can easily fall. It’s not safe. Had a hard time to unlock the door with the passcode. Water pressure was unstable sometimes. Not for star gazing. Too bright.

What a great place to stay. Our container home was very roomy. It was very clean and had all the comforts of home. Nice size refrigerator microwave' coffee pot, paper products, disposable utensils all provided. Bed and sofa werevery comfortable. The outaide area was super nice and for $30 they come hook up your gas firepit. Which is totally worth it. There is a restaurant on site, we didnt eat there but it appeared to be very busy. We cant wait to stay there again. It is our underatanding it is under new management and they are doing everything possible to make updates. Give it a try!0

Booked Big Ed for a weekend and we loved the accomodations. Very comfortable, modern and cozy. We arrived after 4pm and was given the info to check in virtually. Things I think are worth a mention: 1) There are lots of cats outside. They didnt bother much but if you are outside eating expect their companionship. Took all of me not to feed them because I suppose thats what they stick around. 2) we are city folks and have never used propane fire pits before. We assumed the tank was empty so we text the manager Dave. He arrived without a response which is perfectly fine. However, his demeanor was very unfriendly and somewhat aggressive. He spoke to us like we were idiots so that was unappreciated. Glad we only needed to contact him that one time. 3) the grille restaurant on site was verg cute and fun. Staff was very friendly and drinks were.good. Sadly, my husbands chicken came out raw. I mean red in the middle. We were quite surprised since everything had been good. We just assumed it was a one off incident and didnt make much of it. However I do think we shouldnt have been charged for it but it was what it was. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would consider returning.

Great stay at Camptel Poconos! We had a wonderful stay at Camptel Poconos! The property strikes a perfect balance between community and privacy — plenty of shared spaces to meet other guests, but also quiet areas to unwind. Our site had a convenient propane fire pit, which we loved using in the evenings. One night we met another couple making s’mores over a wood fire in the community area — such a fun, friendly atmosphere. As we walked the grounds after dark, we appreciated how nicely the property was lit and even stumbled upon a jumbo outdoor checkerboard, which was a great surprise! We also noticed three hot tubs on-site — we didn’t pack for that, but it’s a great amenity to have. The owner/manager who handled our check-in by text was extremely nice and responsive, which made everything easy. The only disappointment was that the on-site bar and restaurant were closed during our stay. I was told they’re planning to reopen later this winter and are trying to get the listing updated. If that’s something important to you, I’d recommend calling ahead to confirm before booking. Our only minor issue was with the heat in our specific unit — the thermostat was located in the loft, so the downstairs stayed pretty chilly. It wasn’t a big deal for us since we mainly used the loft (which stayed nice and warm), so we didn’t bother reporting it. Overall, Camptel Poconos is a really unique and enjoyable place to stay — peaceful, well-designed, and full of thoughtful touches.

Really wanted to love it. Booked as a solo 2 night trip. They want $35 to check in early at 2 rather than 3 so I just sat outside the empty, ready to go cabin until 3pm to avoid having to pay more money than I already had. Once I brought my bags in, I realized the AC unit was off, giving an error. They reset it 20 min later, worked for 3 mins and died again. I was put in another cabin 25 mins after that, which was half the size of the one I booked prompting me to check the prices. Sure enough, the replacement cabin was $120 cheaper than what I paid for and this was not mentioned to me. It was also directly along the street, whereas my other cabin was further in away from the traffic noise. When I called to ask for the refunded difference, I was told it’ll automatically be credited back to me through Expedia so hoping that happens. When I returned later that night I realized my bed wasn’t even finished yet, with nothing but a bottom sheet on it. By this time, no one was available to call. Thank GOD I had an emergency blanket in the car, because I would’ve had to sleep with the bath towels. The blinds did not close all the way, forcing me to change/shower with the lights off and a dimmed flash light because as a solo female it was uncomfortable knowing anyone from the street or other cabins could see into mine. Long black hairs in the shower/toilet, crumbs/stains on sink. Cherry on top, I ate half a raw omelette @ their brunch before seeing it was raw.
