Lake Genero Park is in a private country setting about 3 1/4 miles east of the small town of Hamlin, PA. Campsites are on one side of the small lake. On the other are cabins that can be rented (phone number shown on the map).
Lake Genero is easy to get to, about 7 miles from Exit 17 (formerly exit 5) on I-84. Take state route 191 (soon joined by 196) north to Hamlin, turn right on state route 590, and go 3 1/4 miles east. Look for a sign on the right, just before the road crosses a stream, that says "Lake Genero Picnic Ground."
The campground is within easy reach of restaurants, food markets, and other purveyors of civilized amenities. The Claws 'n' Paws wild animal park is also nearby.
Note: Pennsylvania exit numbers on Interstate 84 are (since 2001) not consecutive, but instead based on the distance in miles from where the highway begins in Scranton. The exit for Lake Genero is number 17 (not 5 as it used to be). If you come from the east on 84, Exit 17 is the one after Exit 20. If you come from the west, it's the one after Exit 8.
