Seasonal considerations impact camping experiences throughout the region, with most campgrounds operating between April and October. Ricketts Glen State Park maintains strict quiet hours from 9pm to 8am, while alcohol policies vary significantly by location—completely prohibited at state parks but permitted at private campgrounds. Campsite conditions vary considerably in terms of size, levelness, and privacy. Water quality can be an issue at certain facilities, as experienced at Ricketts Glen where unsafe manganese levels required shutdown of water spigots. Electric hookups are common, though full hookup availability depends on the specific campground. Cell phone reception is generally limited throughout the area. One camper noted: "Most of the sites are spaced a decent amount apart and are generous in size, but are not level at all. It was an effort to get our travel trailer close to level."
Waterfront access represents a significant draw for campers in the region. Several campgrounds provide direct lake or creek access, with Lake Glory and Ricketts Glen offering water-based recreation opportunities.

Campground amenities vary widely, with most state park locations offering basic facilities while private campgrounds frequently include additional recreational options. Sites along water features tend to fill quickly during peak season. Visitors frequently mention the hiking opportunities throughout the region as a primary attraction.

LegendWhat 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!
GuideStayed 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.
Travelersolid parking place for vans and RVs. road is dirt gravel but not terrible. nice hike nearby
Traveleri mean meh with the most enthusiasm as you can live your entire life & be oki not going here. the trails are small & the overlook is fenced high for falls. it’s about as much scenery as going for a walk deer hunting. it’s beginner friendly if anyone wants to start getting into parks but i feel there’s more focus on pavilions & playgrounds than calling it a state park. for anything boating or canoeing on the river it’s a good place to be but your in town so it take it for what it is
GuideSmall 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.
GuideWe only spent the night and didn't look at the amenities. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.
RangerGorgeous 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!
ScoutThe area is very nice and so are the people. The sites are clean and the livestock are a cool sight to see
ScoutWas my first ever camping trip with a travel trailer. Site was very clean and well maintained and staff was friendly and great to deal with. Pull through sites (section K) was a little tight - maybe that’s the norm, don’t have anything to compare to but some awnings were near the neighboring camper. Overall, awesome experience.
Berwick, Pennsylvania camping options spread across northeastern Pennsylvania's rolling hills and river valleys, with elevations ranging from 500 to 1,300 feet throughout the region. The Susquehanna River borders several local camping areas, creating opportunities for water recreation from May through September when average daytime temperatures reach 70-85°F. Most campgrounds near Berwick operate seasonally with varying terrain that impacts site drainage during the region's frequent summer thunderstorms.
Waterfall hiking trails: Ricketts Glen State Park offers a 7-mile Falls Trail System with 22 named waterfalls. "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! and the hike back up was again steep but maintained!" notes Anne P. about Ricketts Glen State Park Campground.
Boulder Field exploration: Located 45 minutes from Berwick, Hickory Run State Park features a 16-acre field of boulders. As one camper describes, "The boulder field was the highlight of our camping trip. The campground has great playgrounds, several well-marked trails, and functional (if dirty and rustic) restrooms and showers" according to Shayna at Hickory Run State Park.
Creek wading: Multiple campgrounds offer direct stream access for cooling off. At Moyers Grove Campground, "There were plenty of sites with full hookup, some tent sites with electric, and a beautiful creek that ran along the lower sites," explains Debbie H. The shallow water depth makes this suitable for supervised children.
Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds maintain stocked fishing ponds. "The lake is stocked and the fish are always hungry," mentions Vince L. about Lake Glory Campground. Pennsylvania fishing licenses required for anglers 16 and older at all public waterways.
Proximity to Knoebels Amusement Park: Free shuttle service available from several campgrounds. "It's a nice spacious campground next to the park. Lake Glory provides direct shuttle service to Knoebels, which eliminates parking hassles. "10 minutes to Knoebels with the mighty Phoenix. The best wooden coaster on the planet. Always a great time at Lake Glory," reports Vince L.
Wooded, well-spaced sites: Many campgrounds feature mature tree cover. At Whispering Pines Camping Estates, campers appreciate the generous spacing. "One of the quietest and most spacious campgrounds we've ever stayed in. As you'll see in the pictures, our campsite was probably a good 200-300 feet or more from the other sites on either side of us so we basically had a large front yard," writes Charlie & Danielle B.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Deer sightings common at multiple campgrounds. "We enjoyed our weekend stay at Moyer's Grove. The sites were a nice size and were well shaded. The campground was quiet and peaceful. We saw deer daily. There are 3 resident geese who wander around near the creek and lakes," reports Becca U.
Fall foliage: Several reviewers recommend autumn visits specifically. "Hooting owls and fall foliage. This was a very peaceful night in the woods," writes Jen about Hickory Run State Park. Most campgrounds report peak fall color from early to mid-October.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly by campground and provider. At Whispering Pines, "Really the only major con was the phone service. We have Verizon and my work phone is T-Mobile and at most would get 2 bars of LTE but it mostly stayed at 1 so if we weren't connected to the internet or our jetpack our phones were basically useless," notes Charlie & Danielle B.
Bathroom facilities vary widely: Quality ranges from rustic to recently renovated. At Indian Head Campground, "The bathrooms are 'old' but were clean," according to Dave B. Meanwhile, Moyers Grove received higher praise: "The bathhouse (hooray) was great. Recently renovated, they were extremely clean and dry," says Jim B.
Site leveling challenges: Multiple reviews mention difficulty with uneven terrain. At Knoebels Campground, "The site was plenty spacious for our pup and TV, but was not level at all. In fact, none of the surrounding sites looked very level," reports Jen V.
Distance to amenities: Rural locations mean limited services nearby. "There's also not much in the way of grocery stores or restaurants nearby. There's one small grocery store and a couple restaurants about 9 minutes away but no big store or fast food place," explains Charlie & Danielle B. about the area around Whispering Pines.
Playground options: Several campgrounds maintain play equipment for children. Hickory Run State Park offers "great playgrounds" according to Shayna, while at Knoebels Campground, "There is a pool, camp store and small playground on-site" as noted by Jen V.
Swimming areas: Multiple options for water play exist throughout the region. "We were right next to the bath house, which was great for being able to send our 6 year-old by herself," reports Jen V. about Knoebels Campground. Lake Glory maintains a swimming pool, and Locust Lake State Park offers a beach area.
Multi-generational camping history: Several campgrounds have loyal return visitors spanning decades. "I've been camping here since I was 5. I now have a grandchild, so that's a long time. With the amusement park across the street, and the cool stream to splash in, it's a small kids dream," shares Bonnie T. about Knoebels Campground.
Family activities: Organized events at various campgrounds. "On weekends there are BINGO games, bands, karaoke and religious services held in the pavilion," notes Ken R. about Deihls Camping Resort. Check campground calendars for scheduled events.
Water hookup challenges: Bring extra-length hoses at certain campgrounds. At Moyers Grove, "Make sure you have a LONG water hose. We actually had to buy a 50 foot hose in the camp store to accommodate the distance to the spigot," advises Becca U.
Big-rig friendly sites: Several campgrounds can accommodate larger RVs but with varying levels of convenience. At Bodnarosa Campground in Berwick proper, "The sites are clean and well maintained" according to Debbie H., though limited grass coverage was noted by Paul J. who adds, "Nice site, not much grass, but they seem to be working on the place."
Pull-through site availability: Several campgrounds offer drive-through options. "Pull thru sites are large and have plenty of space. Location is crucial venues to I-80 but no traffic noise," reports Melissa F. about Indian Head Campground.
Seasonal considerations: Some RV sites may be unusable after heavy rain. At Locust Lake State Park, "We had 3 families and sites (2 campers & 1 tent) all sites were decent sizes. We had lake front access to put kayaks in and fish which was awesome. Only downside to our trip was poured every night and one whole day," notes Dawn R.
