What a great place. So unique! Love the view, and a great experience! There are no hook ups, so be prepared but if you are looking for the dispersed camping experience you have found it. What a gem!

Pocono region RV campgrounds provide varied options along the Delaware River corridor. Thousand Trails Scotrun operates year-round with full hookup sites that accommodate large rigs, while Cranberry Run Campground offers 92 sites with water, electric, and sewer connections plus thirty-amp service. "A shady spot with a creek nearby and good cell service. They have a pool," wrote one Cranberry Run visitor who noted the campground separates tent sites from RV areas. Timothy Lake North and South campgrounds feature spacious sites for motorhomes with 50-amp electrical service, but operate seasonally from May through October. Blue Mountain RV Resort stays open year-round with sites for large vehicles, though hookup options may vary.
Several parks require navigating mountain roads with elevation changes typical of the Pocono region. Dump stations are available at most locations, though placement can sometimes require maneuvering—one camper at Camp Taylor noted having to "pull out into the street and K-turn back in" after using their midweek tank dump. Site leveling presents challenges at certain campgrounds where gravel pads may be uneven. Cell service varies across the region, with stronger signals closer to major highways. Pet policies generally allow animals but may include restrictions at certain facilities. Fall represents peak season with accelerated booking timelines due to foliage viewing. Most campgrounds within 30 miles of Bangor maintain market facilities for basic supplies, and multiple locations provide firewood for purchase on-site.

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.

Upscale Parking Paradise at This Home Fixer-Upper
Located just off US Route 1 in the upscale Princeton area, this spacious Lowe's serves up a surprisingly pleasant patch of pavement for weary road warriors looking to catch some shut-eye. Set back roughly 80 yards from the highway, this big blue home improvement retailer offers a generously sized parking lot with relatively manageable traffic, good maneuverability and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect from such a busy suburban retail corridor. The western and southern edges of the lot are particularly appealing for an overnight stay, and with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several other retailers nearby, convenience certainly isn't in short supply. Better yet, the store management was friendly and accommodating when we called ahead to arrange our overnight visit.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spacious, paved parking lot with plenty of room to maneuver larger rigs; (2) Convenient access to US Route 1 and nearby I-95; (3) Western and southern parking areas offer quieter spots away from the busiest customer traffic; (4) Excellent nearby conveniences, including Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several dining options; and (5) Friendly store management that welcomed our overnight stay, plus surprisingly good opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) Some daytime retail traffic and occasional road noise, although nothing terribly disruptive; (2) No RV hookups, dump station or dedicated overnight camping facilities; (3) Parking areas closest to the store can become crowded during business hours; (4) Limited greenery and little of the scenery you'd expect from a traditional campground; and (5) While the overnight experience was excellent, this is still a commercial parking lot rather than a destination for an extended stay.
Happy Overnighting!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Stephens State Park Campground
Great last min getaway
Booked the day before—even on the holiday weekend! Just 1.5 hours outside of NYC, site was a bit close to the neighbors (fire pit was very far back and basically in the neighbors’ campsite, but we put up a “privacy clothesline” and hung a tarp over it for a bit of extra coverage.
The staff was friendly and helpful, they said it was the busiest they’ve seen the campground all year (there were lots of large groups but everyone seemed to settle down by 9:30pm
Poison ivy was EVERYWHERE at our site so make sure to stick to the open areas and the paths. Lots of families around, we felt very safe Bathrooms were fine—it was my impression they’re usually cleaner but the high traffic of the weekend left a bit to be desired, (lots of families around=dirty diapers in the bathroom trash bin) but it’s camping! I’m not gonna argue w a flushing toilet!

TravelerTri-State RV Park
A place to stay in an area lacking campgrounds.
This area seems to be devoid of campgrounds except for this one. It’s basically just a large parking lot with hook ups. Completely open, which is great for Starlink. Bathrooms were slightly above average; fairly clean and places to hang clothes for your shower. Has a laundry but be sure to bring quarters. It is about 100 yards from the interstate so you’ll get a lot of noise and diesel exhaust fumes.
Guide to Bangor
Cabins near Bangor, Pennsylvania provide rustic accommodations amid the region's heavily forested terrain. Most cabins sit at elevations between 800-1,200 feet, typical of the northeastern Appalachian region. Several campgrounds offer cabin stays as alternatives to traditional tent camping, with varying levels of amenities depending on the property and season.
What to do
Creek fishing opportunities: At Pocono Point, campers can enjoy creek fishing along their waterfront tent sites. "The tent-only sites along the creek are peaceful and separate from the RV area," notes one visitor who appreciated the quieter setting away from the main campground.
Explore local trails: Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort provides access to mountain biking trails directly from the property. "If you're into Disc golf this place has that too," mentions one reviewer who explored the multiple recreation options available at the resort.
Seasonal activities: Visit Mountain Top RV Park for family-oriented activities available during warmer months. "The family-friendly atmosphere was evident through the thoughtfully designed property, including an updated pool, playground, game room, and a brand-new pickleball court that added a unique touch to the stay," reports a visitor highlighting the recreational options.
What campers like
Well-maintained facilities: Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South receives consistent praise for its upkeep. "Beautiful campground. Staff are great and responsive. Pull through spots a bit tight together but at least they have some," writes one camper who appreciated the overall maintenance despite noting the site spacing.
Quiet environments: Robin Hill Campground offers secluded sections appreciated by those seeking peace. "We were here on Mother's Day weekend and the activity director organized a nice continental breakfast, free chair massages, and raffled off manicure and pedicures," mentions a visitor who enjoyed the organized events during their stay.
Convenience for overnight stays: Tri-State RV Park provides easy access for travelers passing through the area. "Easy on, easy off. Lots of pull through sites. Next to grocery store. CLEAN bathrooms, showers, laundry. Super nice owners. Perfect for an overnight stop," notes a reviewer who found it ideal for a quick stopover.
What you should know
Seasonal closures: Many rv parks near Bangor, Pennsylvania operate on limited schedules. Most Timothy Lake North amenities close during off-season. "Everything was done online as there wasn't even an office to visit," reported one camper disappointed by facility closures during a holiday weekend.
Cell service limitations: Several campgrounds experience connectivity challenges. "Cell service is awful for AT&T and our T-Mobile gateway. Had to move to a new site to get away from the trees to get starlink connectivity," noted a visitor at Timothy Lake South who struggled with multiple carriers.
Site conditions vary seasonally: Expect changing ground conditions with weather. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site," warned a Robin Hill camper who experienced difficulty with wet grounds.
Reservation requirements: Most Bangor area rv parks fill quickly during peak seasons. Pocono Point requires phone bookings rather than online reservations. "Minus one star because you can't book online!" noted one reviewer frustrated by the booking process.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Stonybrook RV Resort offers child-friendly amenities year-round. "Has a heated pool and playground, laundry facilities and a small game. Shower/bathrooms are the best I've ever seen," reports a winter visitor who found the facilities well-maintained even during off-season.
Scheduled activities: Look for campgrounds that organize events for children. "They had an art activity for the children, BINGO on Friday night, and a live band on Saturday night," mentioned a Robin Hill camper who appreciated the organized entertainment options.
Campground selection: Choose sites based on terrain and access needs. "If you're booking, it may be best to book on the upper levels because the lower area where we were did flood pretty bad a couple times when there was a lot of rain," advised a Mountain Top RV Park visitor sharing their experience with site drainage issues.
Safety considerations: Many campgrounds offer secure environments for families. "You'll be driving down tree-lined, shady streets one moment and the very next, you'll happen across this unusual spot that seems to have carved itself years ago into the very suburban neighborhood that you'll find yourself in," described a Village Scene Park reviewer noting the safety benefits of its location.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven terrain at many Bangor area rv parks. "Sites are level with good power and water. Camp was pretty well maintained and very full," reported a Timothy Lake South visitor who found their site satisfactory despite crowded conditions.
Hookup variations: Check specific site details before booking. "Although they do have sites for tents, this seems to be better suited for RVers and renting cabins," noted a Robin Hill visitor who observed the facility's preferences for certain camping styles.
Seasonal timing: Plan visits carefully based on desired amenities. "We came in at end of season, so pretty much everything seems closed. But, it's a beautiful campground and the part of PA is great too," mentioned a Thousand Trails Scotrun visitor who arrived during facility closures but still enjoyed the natural setting.
Parking arrangements: Some campgrounds have specific requirements for large vehicles. "The campground is small and a bit rundown. The sites are on the smaller size," reported a reviewer at Pocono Point, suggesting potential challenges for larger rigs.
