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.

Guide to Avoca
Cabin camping near Avoca, Pennsylvania offers year-round options within the Pocono Mountains region at elevations ranging from 1,200-2,300 feet. The area experiences distinct seasons with winter temperatures often dropping below freezing, while summer months average 75-85°F. Many cabin facilities remain open from April through October with select locations providing winter accommodations.
What to do
Waterfall hiking trails: Ricketts Glen State Park features 22 named waterfalls, with 18 visible on a four-mile moderate hike. "The hike is definitely not for the easily winded people, or anyone with bad knees, the hike down was pretty steep at some points but very well maintained!" notes a visitor at Ricketts Glen State Park.
Lake activities: Fishing, swimming and non-motorized boating are popular at Tobyhanna State Park's lake. "Scenic state park with a lake. You can swim in the lake in the summer or do a 5-mile hike around the lake along well-marked walk paths," explains one camper who visited the park.
Winter recreation: Some cabin sites stay open year-round for cold-weather activities. At Promised Land State Park, one winter visitor mentioned, "This was my second visit in the cold months. Sites have electric but no water. Spigot close by. Heated cozy bathhouse with clean showers." The park offers ice fishing opportunities during winter months.
What campers like
Spacious wooded sites: Highland Campgrounds receives praise for its natural setting. "This campground was very nice and had so much hiking in and around it. They were very helpful with getting us a site since it was so last minute on a holiday weekend," shares a camper who stayed at Highland Campgrounds.
Clean facilities: Many cabins have access to well-maintained bathroom buildings. Mount Pocono Campground stands out in this regard with one visitor noting, "Cleanest campground bathouse I've ever used! Great hiking trail right from the site. Be prepared for walking up and downhill - quite the unexpected workout."
Wildlife viewing: The region offers opportunities to observe native animals. Tobyhanna State Park provides natural encounters as one camper reported, "We even got to see an eagles' nest near our campsite." Bear sightings are also common in certain areas, requiring proper food storage.
What you should know
Bear safety procedures: Multiple campgrounds enforce strict food storage rules. At Hickory Run State Park, visitors are informed about wildlife precautions: "We were warned to be cautious about leaving food out as there have been some bear sightings." The park has a known high bear population.
Reservation timing: Most cabin facilities book quickly during peak season. Plan 6-9 months ahead for summer weekends, especially at popular parks like Ricketts Glen where a visitor observed, "A typical PA State Park campground. Nice enough, but awesome location."
Water conditions: Lake water clarity varies by location. At Keen Lake Resort Campground, a visitor mentioned, "Each day we would paddle over to the swimming area on the lake. The bugs were better than I would have anticipated next to the lake, although some days the flies were a bit annoying."
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: Many sites offer structured recreation for children. "This campground was very scenic and clean. The tent sights are the small side(about 15'x35') but the atmosphere is relaxed and you are surrounded by shady trees," notes a visitor to Mount Pocono Campground.
Family bathrooms: Some facilities include designated family restrooms. At Lackawanna State Park, a visitor noted the park has "something for everyone" including "an environmental education center with programs, fishing and boating, and an amazing network of hiking and horse riding trails."
Swimming options: Several parks maintain both lake and pool facilities. At Keen Lake Resort Campground, "My kids really loved having a pool to swim in, in addition to the lake" according to a family who appreciated having both options available.
Tips for RVers
Site selection: Request full-hookup areas when available. At Cozy Creek Family Campground, one RVer advised, "The pull through sites worked well for us, however next time we'd ask for one with a concrete patio."
Level sites: Some campgrounds require additional equipment to level RVs. According to a visitor at Clayton Park RV Escape, the facilities are "excellent" with the campground being "well run, well staffed" making it ideal for RVers seeking reliable amenities.
Electrical capacity: Older facilities may have limited amperage. At Lackawanna State Park, an RVer reported that "two electric hookups would trip the 50 amp circuit breaker on any load about 30 amps, which means the hookups are old and unmaintained."
