Lodging Information

Most housing at camp is in duplex cabins with fully equipped bathrooms and private showers. Each side of the cabin can accommodate up to about 10 people, but we try to keep the group smaller unless a large group asks to be together. Attendees are bunked according to requests, and “newbies” are integrated with “oldies.” Living in a camp setting has become the most fun part of the weekend for many Goldstockers and many new friendships have been forged at a Goldstock weekend! We strongly urge you to give camp life a try so you don’t miss out on anything.

For those who wish a bit more privacy, there are limited private rooms available, and a side of a cabin can be rented as a private facility. There are some motels and B & B’s in the area and some of those establishments near camp are listed below, but most attendees would tell you it’s much more fun to be on campus and not miss any of the action!

If you attended Goldstock last year, your “bunkmates” and bunk location will generally remain the same, unless you wish a change. If you do, please indicate so on the comment section of your registration form.

RV and Camping at Goldstock

General information:

Goldstock offers unique opportunities for “camping” at a private campground with your choice of rooming with groups of like-minded, dog crazy people in the camp cabins, pitching your own tent “up on the hill” or with your personal or rented RV.

If you choose to RV at Goldstock, keep in mind that Camp Weequahic is primarily a children’s summer camp, and the camp does not have RV facilities. Our hosts have allowed RV’ers almost since the beginning of Goldstock 20+ years ago, but we are pretty much on our own.

Keep an open mind and be flexible and your RV experience will be like no other. Like the rest of Camp Goldstock, the RV workers are volunteers and do their best to assist.

There are no assigned sites for RV’s. But, it has been customary that prior year RV’ers retained the space they were in previously. But, due to limited maneuverability through the campground, some areas are a first come, first served.

There are 5 general areas where RV’s can set up.

Lot 1, first RV area on the left of the main driveway, approximately 6 RV’s (enter from the second driveway).
Lot 2, first RV area on the left of the secondary driveway, approximately 4 RV’s (opposite Lot 1).
Lot 3, second RV area on the left of the secondary driveway, up the hill, next to the cabin opposite the dining hall, approximately 4 RV’s.
Lot 4, RV area along the main road inside the camp after the main entrance, approximately 6 RV’s.
Lot 5, In the grass parking field across the street from camp. Wide open, but only a short area before the hill.

The campground is in a hilly area of Northeast PA and the camp is hilly as well. Most RV’s will need some form of leveling, whether it is 2×8 boards, the plastic stacking blocks or the fancy hydraulic levelers. As an RV’er you will be expected to bring your own materials for leveling. There is no guarantee that there will be any lumber around camp for your use.

So far we have been able to accommodate everything from the smallest pop-ups to 40’ 5th wheels.

RV Electric:

You can expect about 10-15 amps of power. Enough for your lights and battery chargers and maybe some fans. There is not enough power to run AC units. Electric service is minimal.

There are two portable power panels that supply electric to 2 of the RV sections, Lots 1 & 2.

Lot 3 – Electric last year was available by using extension cords into the building. Again, you will be limited to about 15 amps of power – bring your long, heavy-duty power cords. Suggestion is a minimum of 12 gauge 100’ extension cords and adapters to fit your RV.

Lot 5 will require solar power, onboard generators or quiet standalone generators (Honda type).

As the panels are remote and limited to 1 per area, you will need proper extension cords. We suggest at a minimum you bring 100’ of 12 gauge extension cords, or bigger. You may only need 25’, the odds are really good you will need at least 50’ and 100’ is not that unusual.

The Lot 1 portable panel is a RV 30 amp plug style only, so you will need the appropriate adapters. They are 30 amp RV receptacles, but they are on 15 amp breakers. You will still be limited to 10-15 amps.

The Lot 3 portable panel as of now has not yet been secured for our use this year!

Although not likely, but if you get to camp before Duane and Debbie from New Jersey, you will not have electric available.

Potable water:

You will not be able to have a “water hookup.” We suggest you bring full freshwater tanks with you unless you are willing to do a little work to get water.

There are three locations for water.

Lots 1 & 2 have access to a water spigot near the end of the porch at the main dining hall. You will need a 75’ – 200’ of hose to use this spigot. We typically share hoses as few people can carry that much hose.

Lot 3 has a water spigot located near the center of the cabin on the outside wall. 50’-100’ of hose is typical.

Lot 4 has a water spigot along the right side of the main rally hall (registration building). You will need 75’-100’ of hose.

Lot 5 – you’re on your own.

Gray and black water holding tanks:

There is no dump station or sewer facilities at this camp. There are commercial campgrounds in the surrounding areas, and the closest one is the Honesdale KOA, about 14 miles south of camp.

If you do not want to use your holding tanks, there are bathrooms in the main buildings as well as showers.
