RV sites near Lebanon, New Jersey offer year-round options for campers seeking both proximity to urban attractions and natural surroundings. Most campgrounds in this region sit between 400-800 feet elevation, with the Pocono foothills creating varied terrain across northeastern Pennsylvania and western New Jersey. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing, while summer camping sees daytime highs in the 80s with moderate humidity.
What to do
Urban exploration: New York City is accessible from Liberty Harbor RV Park, where the PATH train and ferry options make city adventures straightforward. "The light rail is a block away, and the path train is about 8. Having a view of Lady Liberty out your window is priceless," notes Joe R. Another camper explains, "Very easy to hop on transit to get to New York City. People were friendly."
Outdoor recreation: winter activities are available near Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South during colder months. The surrounding Pocono region offers seasonal activities year-round. "We came on a holiday weekend and thought it would be rowdy and loud. So far, nice and quiet," reports Angie G. about her experience.
Water activities: river access is available at some campgrounds near the Delaware River. Visitors can fish, kayak, or simply enjoy the riverside views. "They are also located right on a river that you can easily access by foot," mentions Brittany V. during her stay at a local RV park, making it convenient for water recreation.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds prioritize bathroom maintenance despite winter challenges. "The bath house was above average and heated. The laundry was helpful and was acceptable," according to a Liberty Harbor review. Another camper at Stonybrook RV Resort noted, "Shower/bathrooms are the best I've ever seen."
Convenience for travel breaks: Several RV parks function as comfortable stopover points. "Friendly, aim to please staff. This is a point to point camp on the freeway. Easy on and off on I-84. Great place to pull in for the night if you are traveling," writes Dave B. about his experience at a nearby park.
Variety of site options: From basic to premium, Lebanon-area campgrounds offer different levels of amenities. "The concrete pad/patio with Breeo smokeless fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and metal patio table and chairs made a great setup," describes Matt S. about his premium site at Stonybrook RV Resort, showing the upgraded options available at some locations.
What you should know
Site spacing considerations: Some campgrounds feature tight quarters between RVs. "Sites kind of level and very close. Power and water, and convenient dump station if staying and needing to dump," reports one camper about their Liberty Harbor experience. Plan your setup accordingly if you prefer more privacy.
Seasonal availability: While Thousand Trails Scotrun and other parks operate year-round, amenities vary by season. "We came in at end of season, so pretty much everything seems closed. But, it's a beautiful campground and the part of PA is great too," shares Kasey M. Check ahead for pool, activities, and facility closures.
Connectivity challenges: Internet and cell service vary widely between campgrounds. "Cell service is ok. Verizon is 25 down 10 up. Tmobile is unusable," reports Don C. about Timothy Lake South. Another camper noted, "Had to move to a new site to get away from the trees to get starlink connectivity."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer play areas for children, though quality varies. At Mountain Top RV Park, "They have a small playground that would be better suited for older children, and there's also a nice lounge room with games, a pool table, a tv and puzzles/board games," according to a reviewer identified as HomegrownRV.
Swimming options: Seasonal pools provide summer recreation at many locations. "Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it. Same with their patio set up around the store," reports Jonathan F. about his Memorial Day weekend experience at a local campground.
Adventure opportunities: Some destinations offer unique outdoor activities. At Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort, "ride the ski lifts up to the top of the mountain then you get to bike down it, they have rental bikes available or bring your own. You can also Zip line or swing through the trees if you would rather," explains Lois about the recreational options.
Tips from RVers
Access considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging entrances. "Just one thing— the entrance made for a challenging entry up a steep grade, narrow roadway, and sharp turn in. I made it without problems, but it wasn't easy in a 45' motorhome towing a Jeep," cautions Matt S. about navigating into Stonybrook RV Resort.
Utility management: Water pressure varies between parks. "Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi," warns Don C. about Timothy Lake South, suggesting RVers should use pressure regulators.
Site selection strategy: For weather protection, consider elevation within the campground. "If you're booking, it may be best to book on the upper levels because the lower area where we were did flood pretty bad a couple times when there was a lot of rain," advises a camper who stayed at Mountain Top RV Park.
