Plan a NEPA Staycation

Posted: July 19, 2019
There’s Still Time to Squeeze in a Summer Getaway
Enjoy some R&R without the hassle.
Forget the long drives, frustration at the airports and endless planning. Treat yourself to a staycation, a trip that combines the fun of a vacation with the convenience of being close to home.
Go ahead, use those vacation days and soak up the precious remaining weeks of summer. NEPA’s resorts and attractions are the perfect places to recharge, whether you’re planning a long weekend or just a day trip. Even if you’re a local, it can be fun to slow down and explore the places you normally overlook in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Check out these staycation plans for all ages and interests, from romantic retreats to family fun centers. Chill out by the lake or pitch your tent at a campsite. You don’t have to travel far to make summer memories that will last a lifetime.
NEPA’s Resorts Have Everything Under One Roof
Ah, lazy days lounging by the pool and playing yard games…
Resort life is pretty sweet. They’ll take care of all the planning while you kick back.
The Pocono Mountains are known for their incredible all-inclusive resorts. These elegant accommodations have everything on site, from gourmet food to live entertainment to family activities. Some resorts even offer spas and golf courses.
Relaxing Resorts
Sleep Under the Stars
And don’t forget the marshmallows.
Summer is made for nights making s’mores around the campfire and listening to the crickets chirping as you fall asleep. It’s the prime time to get out there and embrace the great outdoors.
Time moves a little slower on the campground. Spend a quiet afternoon on the lake or take a walk through the forest. These serene and secluded spots will help you unplug from your hectic schedule and reconnect with nature, your family and yourself.
NEPA has tons of campgrounds, from traditional tent sites to luxury camping resorts.
