    Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton accommodates pets in meticulously maintained grounds with level sites and spacious walking areas throughout the property. Pets must remain leashed when outside camping units, with designated walking routes along the perimeter and nearby trails for exercise. Lizard Creek Campground offers pet-friendly campsites with creek access, while Jim Thorpe Camping Resort provides family camping with dogs allowed. These campgrounds maintain clean facilities and well-landscaped sites suitable for RVs, tents, and some offer pet-friendly cabin options. Most sites include fire rings and picnic tables, with full hookups available for RV campers. The campgrounds enforce quiet hours that help minimize barking disruptions, with many sites providing ample space between neighbors.

    Multiple hiking trails welcome leashed dogs near the campgrounds, with access to fishing areas and walking paths along Lizard Creek and nearby lakes. Stonybrook RV Resort guests note the property lacks a designated dog park but offers sufficient walking space for pets around the perimeter and through wooded areas. The Jim Thorpe area features several outdoor recreation opportunities where dogs can accompany owners, including paths along creek beds and lake shores. Campers should be prepared for varied terrain in the Pocono region when walking dogs, with some sites featuring exposed roots and rocky areas. Local attractions in downtown Jim Thorpe are approximately 3 miles from some campgrounds, accessible by paths following creek routes. Seasonal considerations affect pet comfort, with sites open primarily April through October or November, though Stonybrook offers winter camping options when other facilities close.

      Hickory Run State Park Campground

      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.

      100 Mile View Camping

      The best views

      This is a hidden gem, as close to dispersed camping you can get with dirt, gravel roads, large stone fire pits, a amazing views with the added benefit of a five gallon jug of non potable water and very clean port-a-potties. The owner regularly patrols the site and makes sure everything is okay.

      Ricketts Glen State Park Campground

      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!

      Council Cup Campground

      Better than nothing

      Small campground with rude owner. Everything I asked about was putting her out. It was cheap though at $36 for water and electric with a military discount.

      Echo Valley Campground

      Big sites with lots of trees

      We only spent the night and didn't look at the amenities. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.

      Tohickon Family Campground

      Simple, peaceful FHU

      We stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.

      Hickory Run State Park Campground

      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!

    Guide to Andreas

    Camping near Andreas, Pennsylvania offers options for pets in a region defined by rolling Appalachian foothills at elevations between 800-1,200 feet. The area's wooded terrain features oak, maple and pine forests with numerous streams and small lakes. Most campgrounds in the region operate from April through October, with seasonal activities peaking during summer months when temperatures average 75-85°F during the day.

    What to do

    Boulder field exploration: At Hickory Run State Park Campground, visitors can experience the unusual boulder field. "Boulders everywhere! Big ones, small ones, run (carefully) across them all! Beyond the Boulder field is a vast, scary, unknown," notes Mike M. The boulder field makes for a unique geological feature to explore while camping in the region.

    Fishing access: Several campgrounds offer fishing opportunities in stocked lakes and streams. "Nice lake with many sites... They sell ice cream (and firewood, etc.) on site in the summer but it's bring your own boat," explains Dan N. about Locust Lake State Park. Many sites provide direct water access for easy fishing.

    Trail connectivity: The region connects to multiple hiking networks. "It is right off the Pinnacle Trail so you have access to great hikes and amazing views. The campsite has a great community calendar," shares Lorie O. about Blue Rocks Family Campground. Most trails range from easy to moderate difficulty levels.

    What campers like

    Private creekside sites: Visitors appreciate water-adjacent camping spots. At Mauch Chunk Lake Park, "You can get sites right on the water that are nice size. If you go during the week, it's quite calm," reports Lisa S. These waterfront sites typically cost $5-10 more than standard sites but offer direct lake or creek access.

    Clean facilities: Many campers highlight bathroom cleanliness as a key feature. "The bathrooms were decently clean," notes Corbin about Mauch Chunk Lake Park. Facilities vary by campground, with some offering modern shower buildings while others maintain more rustic options.

    Off-leash areas: Dog-friendly campgrounds near Andreas offer various pet accommodations. At Tuscarora State Park Campground, "Pets allowed and don't have to be on a leash. Campsites are not even any where near each other. It's like you have the whole forest to yourself!" mentions Jen R. This makes the area suitable for travelers seeking more freedom for pets.

    What you should know

    Site levelness concerns: Many campgrounds in the region have uneven terrain. "Our site was way to small even though we gave the length and width of our rig ahead of time... Finally, the site was not level," cautions Donna C. about Jim Thorpe Camping Resort. When booking, specifically request information about site levelness.

    Seasonal timing: Most campgrounds operate during limited seasons. Blue Rocks Family Campground operates "Apr 1 to Nov 1" according to their official information. Winter camping options remain limited in the Andreas region.

    Bear activity: The wooded setting means wildlife awareness is necessary. "Be aware that this area has a high bear population and all campers are required to keep food items in their vehicles or trailers when not at the site," explains Shirley M. at Hickory Run. Food storage containers or coolers should be secured overnight.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Multiple campgrounds offer play areas for children. At Allentown KOA, "2 different playgrounds and a pool that could use some updating. Staff was very helpful and accommodating," notes Brandon W. These features provide entertainment for younger campers.

    Swimming options: Lake swimming areas make for popular summer activities. "Great walking path all around the lake, swimming lake with beach, nice playground for kids. Lake is Good for fishing and canoe/kayak rides," explains Brandon W. about Locust Lake State Park. Swimming areas typically operate from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend.

    Event calendars: Many campgrounds host scheduled activities. "The campground has a great community calendar, and although I personally have never participated, I know that other campers have a wonderful time," mentions Lorie O. about Blue Rocks Family Campground. Weekend events often include crafts, games and seasonal celebrations.

    Tips from RVers

    Entrance challenges: Some campgrounds present difficult arrival conditions. At Stonybrook RV Resort, "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," warns Matt S. Larger rigs should call ahead to discuss access routes.

    Seasonal site options: Many campgrounds accommodate long-term stays. "Mostly seasonal campers, we were one of the few transient campers for our visit," reports Tori about Stonybrook RV Resort. Seasonal sites typically require booking 6-12 months in advance and may involve additional contracts.

    Hookup availability: Water and electric services vary significantly between campgrounds. "No water hook up. No sewer hook up. Just electric at certain sites," cautions Brandon W. regarding Locust Lake State Park. RVers should confirm utility availability before booking, especially for stays longer than 2-3 days.
