ScoutIndian Head Campground
Good but could be better
A lot of people recommended this campground. We were late to book for Memorial Day weekend and Indian Head had plenty of spots open so we gave it a chance. Upon arriving, they gave us a map to our spot, we drove to the area and it was essentially a big open field with no spots marked, no numbers, no direction to really pull in. We had to ask the owner where our spot was because there was nothing to show where it was in the fielded grass area. I understand they are putting work into the campground to improve it, it seems, but seemed Alittle messy just from the store, entrance and overall upkeep of the campground. Overall, if we had the chance to camp here again, we probably wouldn’t. I would reccomend J&D or Lake Glory that’s in the same area if able to be booked.

Tobyhanna State Park Campground
really clean and easy to get around, kinda crammed :/
we loved both of our stays here! it was mine and my partner’s first time camping and we had a great experience. the layout was really nice, and easy to get to. the bathrooms were really close to walk to and VERY clean! the only issue we faced was the closeness of the other campsites. we went during off season and during the week, so it didn’t really affect us but i can see how this place can get crowded and a little noisy during peak season. with all the being said, it was WONDERFUL!! we LOVED the late checkout (3pm) and loved the peaceful atmosphere! i would definitely recommend this place for beginner campers!

A Hidden Gem in the Woods: Edgemere Flag Ridge Site 11 Review
Pulling into Site 11 at Edgemere Flag Ridge feels like discovering a hidden campsite that most people pass right by. The site sits comfortably off the beaten path, giving it a secluded feel without being difficult to reach. Access was easy and any standard vehicle should have no trouble getting in. Traffic on the adjoining road was minimal, which added to the quiet atmosphere.
Amenities are basic, consisting of a picnic table and fire ring, so do not expect much beyond the essentials. That said, the surrounding woods made up for it with plenty of easy to gather firewood nearby, which was a refreshing change from some other public sites.
At night, the sky opened up nicely for stargazing and made for a peaceful camping experience. Cell service was intermittent, enough to occasionally check in if needed but spotty enough to still feel disconnected. If you are looking for a quiet, simple campsite with a sense of seclusion and easy access, this one is worth considering.

Comfort and Cats
The campsite is beautiful and lovely to walk around, the outside campground cats are the best part though ❣️

Clean, convenient
We stopped here overnight on our way down south. Very convenient location, nice large lawn with beautiful tall shade trees, bathroom was extremely clean and you can see were just recently renovated. They had a pool and some basic playground equipment. Pet friendly. You have to enter the camping area by driving through an RV and truck storage area first. We would stay here again .

Edgemere Roadside Campsites — Delaware State Forest
Silver Lake near Little Bush kill Creek
Stayed at Silver Lake for a two night camping trip and overall had a solid experience, with a few drawbacks.
The campsite itself is decent in size and easy to set up on, but it’s located along a fairly active road. Expect a couple vehicles per hour, including louder trucks, which takes away from the secluded feel. There are also signs the area may have been used for roadwork dumping in the past, with some leftover blacktop visible.
That said, the site works well for a functional camp. Plenty of nearby downed wood for fires, and the area has a good “working camp” feel if you don’t mind putting in a little effort. We had no issue gathering firewood and keeping a fire going, even after rain.
Weather was rainy for most of the trip, but a simple canopy setup made it manageable. The site drains reasonably well and didn’t turn into a mess.
Wildlife wise, ticks were present, so plan accordingly with repellent and checks.
We also had a brief visit from a forest ranger checking on smoke in the area. Interaction was professional and quick.
Overall, this is a good spot if you’re looking for a straightforward, no frills campsite and don’t mind some road noise. If you’re prioritizing privacy and a true backwoods feel, you may want to explore other sites in Delaware State Forest.

Great Campsite!
I've hiked the A.T. through New Jersey, and this is probably my favorite NJ A.T. campsite. The only downside is that there is no water, so depending on which way you come in (nobo or sobo), you'll have to collect water before you get here from either Sunfish Pond, or one of the streams before the climb up here. There are 2 privies, one newer, and also a great spot to watch the sunset. Plenty of campsites, and during peak season there is a caretaker on site.

Nice State Park
Really nice views from the sites. Facilities are well equipped and taken care of, but older. Trees between each rv site give a nice level of privacy
Guide to Andreas
Camping sites near Andreas, Pennsylvania range from state parks to private resorts across the northern edge of the Pocono Mountains. The area sits at elevations between 800-1,500 feet, creating cooler summer temperatures and earlier fall color changes than lower-lying regions. Many campgrounds feature access to water features including streams and small lakes, with most facilities maintaining standard 10pm quiet hours.
What to do
Boulder field exploration: Visit Hickory Run State Park Campground where the massive boulder field attracts nature enthusiasts. "The Boulder Fields are one of the coolest places I've ever visited, partially because they were so unexpected. Don't twist an ankle, but you can play hide and seek to an extent as there are small depressions in the fields," notes Amber A.
Hiking options: The region offers numerous trails of varying difficulty. At Blue Rocks Family Campground, you'll find direct access to popular routes. "It's right at the base of one of the most popular hiking trail, The Pinnacle. It's nestled in the woods and is very rustic," shares Darrien K. The campground also provides "super easy access to Appalachian trail. Trail heads begin inside the campsite."
Paddling opportunities: Many local campgrounds offer lake access for water activities. "We set up the tent, kayaked on the lake, cooked up some dinner, watched a strawberry super moon rise over the lake," explains a camper about their experience at Mauch Chunk Lake Park. Multiple campgrounds rent kayaks and canoes by the hour or day.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Some campgrounds offer more secluded spaces than others. At Tuscarora State Park Campground, "Campsites are not even any where near each other. It's like you have the whole forest to yourself!" according to Jen R. This contrasts with more densely packed facilities closer to tourist areas.
Creek-side camping: Multiple campgrounds feature sites alongside moving water. At Lizard Creek Campground, visitors recommend requesting "creek side site if you can" for the best experience. These waterfront sites typically book first and command higher rates.
Clean facilities: Despite rustic settings, many campgrounds maintain high standards. Hickory Run State Park receives praise for its "beautiful, fully updated showers and restrooms" and a camp store that's "stocked to high heaven; you could come here with just the clothes on your back and buy everything you need for a very comfortable stay."
What you should know
Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds operate on limited schedules. Hickory Run State Park Campground runs from "2nd Friday in April to 3rd Sunday in October," while Allentown KOA operates "April 1 to November 1." Very few facilities remain open during winter months due to snow and freezing conditions.
Wildlife awareness: Bears are active throughout the region. Campers at Hickory Run State Park report being "warned to be cautious about leaving food out as there have been some bear sightings." Most campgrounds require storing food in vehicles or secured containers overnight.
Site conditions vary: Terrain can present challenges for setup. One camper noted about Jim Thorpe Camping Resort, "the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because our site wasn't level and it took hours to get it right." Similar terrain issues affect other campgrounds in this mountainous region.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature dedicated play areas. Stonybrook RV Resort has "a nice playground and a GaGa pit" according to visitors. Blue Rocks Family Campground offers a "huge playground, lots of activities, friendly staff," making it suitable for children of various ages.
Swimming options: Many facilities have dedicated swimming areas. At Blue Rocks, visitors appreciate the "awesome pool" while others note Mauch Chunk Lake Park has a "beautiful lake beach and canoe and kayak rentals." Some swimming areas close earlier in the season than campgrounds themselves.
Educational opportunities: Hickory Run State Park offers natural learning experiences with its "visitors center boasting the most modern updates and a truly lovely interactive museum displaying the history and current wildlife of the park." These educational facilities typically operate on more limited hours than camping areas.
Tips from RVers
Pad quality: Site surfaces range from gravel to concrete. At Stonybrook RV Resort, "the site was nice and level side to side" and features "concrete pad/patio with Breeo smokeless fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and metal patio table and chairs" at premium sites.
Access challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult entrances for larger rigs. One RVer at Stonybrook noted "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."
Hook-up variations: Not all sites provide equal services. At Jim Thorpe Camping Resort, campers find "full hookups a picnic table and a fire ring" while other campgrounds may offer electric-only or water/electric without sewer connections. Verify specific hook-ups when booking.
