Directions from Route 80

Camp Shehaqua, part of Hickory Run State Park, is located in the Pocono Mountains, off I-80 and near I-476. It is approximately 2 hours west of New York City.

  1. From Interstate 80, take Exit 274 and turn onto Rt. 534 south (turn left if you come from the east, turn right if you come from the west).
  2. After 1.7 miles, there will be a stop sign, at which you turn left.
  3. Four miles later, turn left onto Sand Spring Road.
  4. At the next junction, which resembles a fork in the road, turn a slight left.
  5. Then take a sharp left at the next junction.
  6. Immediately after you cross a small bridge over a dam, take the gravel road on your right.
  7. You will soon pass through an open gate. This is the entrance to Camp Shehaqua. Please drive SLOWLY!
  8. About 300 feet later, the gravel road splits. If you are just arriving at Shehaqua for the first time this season, please go left, and...
    • Pass by the Nature Lodge and the gravel road off to the left that leads to Unit 1
    • Pass the Rec Hall.
    • Stop at the Camp Office, and speak to the Registrar at the desk under the awning.
    (These three brown buildings are all close, within plain sight of each other, on the left side of the road, so just stop at the third one.)

Inside Hickory Run State Park, there will also be brown park signs with yellow writing. The words 'Group Camps' and 'Camp Shehaqua' will lead you there. Do not follow the signs to the 'Family Camp,' because that leads to a different campground. Note: It is about seven and a half miles from Interstate 80 to Shehaqua. Below is a quick schematic of the Camp Shehaqua area.
