New Tripoli Campsite is a National Park Service campground in Pennsylvania, set within the Appalachian National Scenic Trail corridor. The land is managed by the National Park Service, and the site itself is a place to camp rather than a route with a set distance or climb. There is no fee to stay here, according to the National Park Service's records. That makes it a straightforward base for an overnight in the trail country of northeastern Pennsylvania. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lehighton show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 73°F, with July the warmest month at about 82°F. That station sits roughly 800 feet lower than the campsite, so temperatures at the site run cooler. Several trails lie within about 8 miles. Twin Peaks DH and South Trail are the closest hikes, and the Shoreline Trail offers mountain biking. The L&NE Trail is another hiking option a little farther out.
