Peaceful State Park Camping in the Fall
This is a large campground with a wide array of campsites so be careful attention when you book online, especially if you have a pet because some sites are not pet-friendly. Some are 50-amp full hook-up and some are primitive with no hook-ups.
There is a nice nature center with interesting interpretive exhibits and lots of informational brochures including ones about the hiking trails, bears, scat and tracks of local animals, and fishing. Our site was at the edge of the campground and backed up to Route 534 which resulted in a bit of road noise at our site. Other than the road noise the campground was pretty quiet and was not very crowded when we camped there in October.
Not all sites are level and we happened to book one that was not and we had to live with a slant for our stay. The roads in the park are gravel/dirt and since it rained the day we arrived the roads were a muddy mess which made the roads slippery and there were lots of potholes. Unfortunately, some campers were disrespectful and left bags of trash in the fire pit and scattered around their site which was totally unnecessary because there were dumpsters plenty of dumpsters in the campground. Since we camped at Hickory Run late in the season, there were no camp hosts and the trash never got picked up.
The campground is open from mid-April to mid-December; however, the shower facilities and dump station are not available after the third week of October so plan accordingly. We really like the hiking trails which are of varying degrees of difficulty and lengths. The Hawk Falls is a nice easy walk (1.4 miles round-trip) to a waterfall but is extremely popular so don’t think you will be admiring the falls alone. The parking lot at this trail head fills up fast so you better get there early if you want to get a spot.
You can enter the park from two different directions. If you have a big-rig, it is best to approach from the east side. We made the mistake of coming in from the west side as we dropped down from I-80 and came down 534 and the road was really windy with no shoulder. Luckily, there was very little traffic so we could go 10 mph and safely navigate the roads.
Be aware alcohol is not allowed in PA state parks. This park does allow hunting in certain sections of the park. The no-hunting areas are clearly marked with white no hunting signs on trees and you can also pick up a brochure from the office that designates hunting and no-hunting sections.

Beautiful Falls!
What a great campground! We stayed here on a recommendation from a friend after the Overland Expo. Great hiking trails and the falls were absolutely breathtaking. Truly enjoyed our stay and plan to return!

Car camping
Stayed October 14 without reservations because website showed lots of availability. Office was closed (M-F 8-4) so submitted honor system envelope with cash and stayed at Site 041 on Carpenter loop. Shower building was a short walk and was spacious enough. Water temp didn’t quite reach hot but was warm enough.
Electric kept on tripping breaker.

Stay away... Unless you like 70 y/o men acting like high schoolers
This clothing-optional campground has a highly toxic, intrusive, and vindictive environment. During my stay, the seasonal permanent residents('perms') subjected me to intense harassment, inappropriate sexual advances, and severe social retaliation/rumor-spreading when those advances were rejected. The situation escalated to the point where an employee had to intervene for my safety. Furthermore, despite management allowing my photo to be taken in costume at a party, I was intentionally blocked from the community group where the photos were posted, leaving me unable to monitor how my image was being used. Avoid this place if you value your privacy, personal boundaries, and safety.

Beautiful forest
Gorgeous forested area in the Poconos. We stayed on the Rattlesnake Loop which was lovely. Sites not super private but most nestled in trees. The only bummer was that that Campground Loop didn’t have any direct links to the trail network and was far from it. The other Campground Loop was closer to trails and office. Would return!

Great off season camping
We camped here in our pop up for our Anniversary in November. We were impressed with the cleanliness and available amenities for the time of year we were camping in! Close proximity to DWG and PA AND NJ attractions.

Great cabins!
We booked a cabin at the last minute and were pleasantly surprised that the cabin had heat and electricity! It was very close to the awesome heated bathroom also! We were also able to catch a beautiful sunset! Great camp all around!

Another great experience. Sites were large. Staff was friendly with many different things for kids to do. Great base camp for local hikes.
Guide to Abington
Cabin camping near Abington, Pennsylvania offers diverse accommodations within the Pocono Mountains region, where elevations range between 1,300-2,300 feet. Most cabin facilities operate seasonally from April through October, with limited year-round options. Water in many lakes throughout the area maintains a copper-tea coloration due to natural tannins from surrounding vegetation.
What to do
Explore waterfall trails: The Ricketts Glen State Park Campground offers access to remarkable waterfall hikes. "The biggest draw to this state park is the 22 waterfalls! We saw 18 of them on a four-mile moderate hike, but if you want to see the additional four, you could make it a seven-mile hike. The trails are very well marked," notes Lee D.
Paddle on serene lakes: Watercraft rentals provide a way to experience mountain lakes without bringing your own equipment. "The swimming beach looked nice. They do have boat rental," writes Amy V. about Lackawanna State Park, adding that sites are "nicely shaded" with good lake access.
Winter recreation options: For those interested in off-season cabin stays, some parks maintain winter activities. Michael mentions that Promised Land State Park "would love to come back in the winter when they have an ice rink with a warming house."
What campers like
Secluded waterfront sites: Pickerel Point Campground offers direct water access for small craft from some cabin sites. "My favorite site does allow pets, plus I can launch my kayak right from there!" explains Nancy L. The campground's lakeside sites are particularly valued for their accessibility.
Forest setting with privacy: Hickory Run State Park Campground provides a more wooded experience with varied terrain. "The sites are large and many are somewhat private in terms of visual barriers. Some bathrooms are latrines, but they also have beautiful, fully updated showers and restrooms available," reports Bridget D.
Structured activities: Organized programming enhances stays for many visitors. "They have activity coordinators that make sure there is something to do for all ages every hour of the day!" shares Mike H. about Keen Lake Resort Campground, noting the value for families seeking structured recreation.
What you should know
Varying bathroom facilities: Cabin locations determine bathroom quality and proximity. "We were in the outer loop far from the rest of the campground and they only had ports potties and hand sanitizer. I wish we had been on the inner loop for the bathrooms," explains Sarah L. about Hickory Run.
Bear activity awareness: Wildlife encounters require specific precautions. "We were warned at check in that there have been a lot of bears in the area but never really thought that we would see one. As soon as we got to our site one came right up as we were setting up our tent," reports Erik M. from Tobyhanna State Park Campground.
Seasonal water concerns: Some parks experience water quality issues during certain periods. "The water had been tested earlier in the season and unsafe levels of manganese were detected. All water spigots were shut off and covered but we were told it was safe to wash our dishes and brush our teeth," shares a visitor about seasonal water management.
Tips for camping with families
Site selection strategy: For families with young children, location matters significantly. "If you don't want to drive during your stay, camp on the side with the beach and pool," advises Emily Z. about Keen Lake Resort, adding that "This is a great place to bring an RV. Great for families. It would be a great place to camp with extended family."
Activity planning: Many cabins have limited indoor space, so outdoor options are important. "There is a huge lakefront area along a different stretch of the lake that offers people a lot of ways to enjoy themselves. It also has a huge pool area," notes Michael about Lackawanna State Park's recreational areas.
Pack for sleeping comfort: Cabin beds vary widely in quality and provision. "The cabins look very nice inside," notes Alaina Z. about Pickerel Point, but warns that sites have "chunky bluestone gravel on the sites, so bring a sleeping pad!"
Tips from RVers
Electrical capacity awareness: Older electrical systems may not support multiple devices. "Two electric hookups would trip the 50 amp circuit breaker on any load about 30 amps, which means the hookups are old and unmaintained," notes David about Lackawanna State Park Campground.
Site dimensions: The orientation of sites varies significantly between parks. "These sites are RIGHT AGAINST THE ROAD. Other state parks tend to make their sites deep, whereas these are wide," explains Emilie D. about Tobyhanna's layout, which impacts privacy and noise levels.
Supply availability: On-site stores vary widely in stock. "The store has a huge selection of necessities, so no need to worry about forgetting things," notes Emily Z., providing reassurance for those who might forget essential items when cabin camping near Abington.
