Best Campgrounds near Andreas, PA

Camping options near Andreas, Pennsylvania span across multiple state parks and private campgrounds in the Pocono Mountains region. Several established campgrounds like Hickory Run State Park, Jim Thorpe Camping Resort, and Mauch Chunk Lake Park provide a mix of tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin accommodations. Many facilities operate seasonally, with most open from April through October, though availability varies by location. The surrounding area features both state park facilities with basic amenities and full-service private campgrounds with more extensive hookups.

Seasonal considerations heavily impact camping experiences in this area, with most campgrounds closing during winter months. Hickory Run State Park Campground operates from the second Friday in April to the third Sunday in October, while others like Blue Rocks Family Campground have slightly longer seasons from April 1 to November 1. "The sites were nice and level side to side. Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it," commented one visitor about Stonybrook RV Resort. Many campgrounds in the region maintain good accessibility via paved roads, though some smaller facilities may have limited access during wet weather. Facilities typically offer varying levels of hookups, with several providing full water, electric, and sewer connections for RVs.

The experience at lakeside campgrounds stands out in visitor reviews, with several mentioning the appeal of waterfront camping. Mauch Chunk Lake Park receives particularly positive feedback for its lake access. One camper shared, "We set up the tent, kayaked on the lake, cooked up some dinner, watched a strawberry super moon rise over the lake." Sites with water views tend to be more popular and book quickly during peak season. Many campgrounds in the area offer amenities beyond basic camping, including swimming pools, playgrounds, and camp stores. The region's proximity to Jim Thorpe provides additional recreational opportunities, with several reviewers noting the convenience of nearby hiking, biking, and white water rafting. Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours, though enforcement levels vary by location.

    Tohickon Family Campground

    Great weekend spot

    We went with friends for a weekend. Both families have little kids and it was a great spot with a playground, construction digging area, and a bunch of activities for the kids to do. We went in September so the pool was closed but it looked like a nice size. Full hook ups which was great! Also they have a nice stream that everyone went fishing at. They are building some new sites at the end of the property.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Wonderful, Easy, Quick trip from Philly

    It’s about an hour away from Philadelphia. We tent camped in loop B. The site was wonderful. Just know it is a gravel site, not grass. The fire pit has a grill attachment and wood was easy to find. Water and bathrooms were close. We hiked around the lake and there were plenty of trails and even rentable kayaks and paddle boards! Would definitely recommend if looking for a quick overnight stay outside of the city.

    Sun Valley Campground

    My Happy Place

    My wife and I have been seasonal camper for 4 years and love it. We had visited numerous campgrounds and found Sun Valley to be the atmosphere there beyond our expectations. The minute you walk into the office you get that" aha" moment. The office greets you with a smile and " Welcome to Sun Valley, how can I help you ". That alone told us these folks are here to make your stay enjoyable. They go above and beyond any campground we have ever been to. The activities go above and beyond. The Saturday night bands are concert worthy. We have enjoyed our stay more than you ever imagined. For the past 4 years it has been our "Happy Place"

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Fantastic PA state park for activities and camping.

    Third year staying over the Labor Day weekend. Campground full but still a very peaceful relaxing stay. Our site was very spacious and open. Tree lined and site was almost level. Paved sites on this loop.

    Cranberry Run Campground

    Don’t Stay here!!

    It’s not a campground. It’s where people stash their rvs, some of whom seem to live here permanently. Caretaker was rude. Sites were all rocky and many on steep inclines. Complete waste of our time. Plus, the site looks nothing like the pictures they post, which is an area you can’t camp at. Don’t stay here.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Pretty park but needs upkeep and maintenance

    Only stayed one night (8/23/25).  Had an electric site on B 45.  After pulling in and starting to unload, we were getting swarmed with yellow jackets.  There were several entry holes in the ground they were using to enter and exit.  I have never experienced anything like this anywhere.   I would have left but since it was close to dusk, I knew they would all retrieve and go underground.  The smoke with the fire helped but it impacted our stay.  They were everywhere.  I will not be going back anytime during the summer

    BED BUGS in Cabin

    I believe Cabin 1409 is infested with BED BUGS! After a short stay in this cabin(7/28-7/30) I came home with 80+ bug bites that I'm certain were from BED BUGS. A dozen of them were on my eyelid! My dermatologist gave me a high strength dosage of prednisone to combat the swelling and itching. We promptly advised the property manager, who was sympathetic, but once our claim for damages(mostly items we had to throw out due to contamination) reached the insurance company, the process stalled. It's been 19 days and now the insurance adjuster is out of the office for another week- having provided no updates or feedback on our claim. I wish I had posted this earlier, as I wonder if the cabin that Michael M complained about in his Aug. 4 YELP review was the very same cabin. I had hoped our conversations with the property manager would have prevented additional folks from the same fate. I also wish I had read a few earlier reviews that warned of BED BUGS. I continue to fear an infestation in my home, in the event we brought home nymphs or eggs or the bugs themselves. I'm constantly vacuuming and looking under seat cushions and my mattress. I now dry all my laundry on high for 60 minutes, knowing it's damaging my clothes, but also knowing it's the best way to kill the bugs and their eggs- which can go dormant and survive for a year without biting again. Zero stars. Choose to stay elsewhere!
