Being in close proximity to both Camelbeach and Kalahari water parks but also close to Aquatopia and H2O water parks means you can choose any water park you’d like when you stay at Locust Lake Village and it will be just a short drive away. That’s if you choose to go places, though – there is plenty of outdoor fun to be had within the community itself, too.

- Four Lakes! Locust Lake Village has 4 lakes with beaches and other amenities to enjoy near them such as tennis courts and playground areas. So for the kayak enthusiast who doesn’t want to travel to enjoy the water, LLV has you covered! Are you into fishing? The lakes are stocked and ready to go! Grab the canoe, throw it in the water, and enjoy a nice day fishing in the clean mountain water. In the winter time, the smallest lake (Pilgrim Lake) freezes up for some old-fashioned ice skating.
- Affordable Vacation! For those in the Philadelphia area, Locust Lake Village is about the same distance as some of the more popular towns along the Jersey Shore – but it is a fraction of the cost to take a vacation in comparison to any of them.

And over the years, a lot of people have done just that and found out the secret of the Poconos that you can only appreciate when you stay here.
