Road access to most campgrounds is well-maintained, with paved routes leading to the major facilities.

As one camper described it, "Super friendly staff, you feel like you're a part of the family. Excellent music and entertainment."

The proximity to natural attractions like Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area provides additional recreation opportunities. Campground selection varies from quiet wooded settings to more social environments with numerous permanent seasonal residents. Sites near Pocono Raceway offer a unique experience during NASCAR events, though reviews indicate noise can be significant during race weekends. Most developed campgrounds provide full hookups, while more rustic options focus on natural surroundings with basic amenities.

    Beechwood Lodge Nudist Camp

    Blue Rocks Family Campground

    Very nice but a little pricey.

    Been here many times always in the fall. Never been here in summer so have never used the pool. Great little store and small grill restaurant. The trails and the rocks are nice. Our site was very rocky and on an incline so hard to get the camper level. It was a “pop up/tent” site and we were in a small travel trailer so it’s understandable. Only criticism is the it’s very pricey for what you get. And there online booking system isn’t very accurate as it said they were sold out and there was many open sites all weekend. Would be much better it they made more sites have even basic electric.

    Tri-State RV Park

    Friendly Owners and Reasonable rates

    We just stayed the night last minute. We hit unexpected traffic on the way and the owners were kind enough to wait for us to check in. The sites aren’t anything glamorous but the hookups are great and easy to pull through. It is by the highway so it can be loud at times but I don’t mind. Beautiful river on the property. Bathroom and showers were clean and well stocked.

    Homestead Campground

    Here for a week

    Beautiful park. Looks like only 2 of the spots are for campers, rest are full time residents. The farther back you go in the park the worse condition the rv are. At time of visit the closest bathroom was under repair, it happens. Aggravating issues: Dump station has no water. People walk their dogs right thru your camp site and then don’t pick up after them.

    But yea, beautiful place

    Locust Lake State Park Campground

    Edit: 1 star- Scout sites before paying!

    Beware: these sites are not travel trailer friendly.

    We booked two nights but upon arriving, we realized that there was no way to fit our trailer (only 25 ft). Trees were growing up in all the sites that were available and most of the ones without trees in the way were pointing in the wrong direction for backing into and NONE were level. Called the office, they told us what other sites were available and we tried every one. Only one was remotely suitable for a travel trailer and we had to drive the wrong way through the loop to be at the right angle to even try backing it in. No luck. I’m honestly shocked that they label some of these sites as RV friendly because wow. We left and had to find other accommodations. Trying to get a refund and currently navigating their phone system/trying to get a refund. Three phone conversations later and I’ll have to call another number on Monday to get the right person to issue the refund. We’ve never stayed at PA parks before but if they’re all like this, then it makes it really hard to plan when some sites are fine for trailers and some aren’t even close. Just heads up.

    UPDATE: Called back during business hours and got the “park manager.” Could only give a partial refund for one of the two nights. I said that they weren’t clear on the condition of the sites and he said there was nothing he could do about it.

    Village Scene Park

    Tucked-Away Community Vibe

    I’m following up on my review from over a year ago with updated insights, additional photos and a quick breakdown of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS: 

    HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Convenient suburban location near Philadelphia yet surprisingly quiet; (2) Full-hookup RV sites with 30 / 50 amp, water, and sewer; (3) Affordable rates compared to other campgrounds in the region; (4) Smaller, tight-knit atmosphere with friendly long-term residents; (5) Pet-friendly, with walking areas and green space; and (6) Nearby restaurants include Franconi’s Pizzeria for classic pies and cheesesteaks and Appalachian Brewing Company with pub fare and house-brewed beers. 

    LOWLIGHTS: (1) Sites are narrow and can feel cramped, so don’t expect big pull-throughs; (2) Limited amenities with no pool, clubhouse, or playground; (3) Grounds feel more like a residential mobile home park than a campground; (4) Some infrastructure is dated and could use upgrades; and (5) Not much in the way of natural scenery because, um, this is urban camping. 

    Happy Camping!

    Dingmans Campground — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

    Beautiful, wooded, campsites

    I’m stopping through for the night and so grateful that I did. This campground is lovely. The spots are wooded so you have a bit of privacy. And you are so close to activities throughout the park. I’m changing my schedule to enjoy the campground and park a bit tomorrow.


Guide to Brodheadsville

Camping sites near Brodheadsville, Pennsylvania range in elevation from approximately 600 to 1,200 feet in the western Pocono Mountain region. Most campgrounds in this area feature wooded settings with mixed hardwood forests providing natural shade. The terrain typically consists of rolling hills with some sites requiring leveling blocks for RVs and campers.

What to do

Hiking trail access: Hickory Run State Park Campground offers 44 miles of trails ranging from easy to more challenging routes. "We hiked to the waterfall, it is beautiful," notes one camper, while another mentions "The Boulder Fields are one of the coolest places I've ever visited, partially because they were so unexpected."

Wildlife watching opportunities: Camp Taylor Campground features the Lakota Wolf Preserve with guided tours. "There is a section of RV spots that are each cut out in the woods so very private... You can take a short hike up the mountain there to see the wolves in the sanctuary. There are moments by the fire you can hear them howl in the distance," reports one visitor.

Water recreation: Tobyhanna State Park Campground centers around a lake suitable for swimming and paddling. According to one visitor, "You can swim in the lake in the summer or do a 5-mile hike around the lake along well-marked walk paths." The park features at least two parking lots with easy access from State Route 423.

What campers like

Spacious, private sites: Worthington State Forest Campground receives high marks for site layout. "The spots are huge, and mostly private. When we go camping we don't want to be right up against our neighbors and at worthington we pretty much had our own little island," explains one camper.

Clean facilities: Mountain Vista Campground maintains well-kept amenities according to reviews. "This campground is very clean, staff and campers are very friendly. It's a great spot if you have kids because they have many different activities (pool/arcade games/movie nights/ and more)," writes a visitor.

River access: Driftstone Campground offers direct Delaware River access. "Our campsite was located along the Delaware river with a short walk down to be able to launch our canoe and kayak," reports one camper. Another adds, "Accept the Delaware River from campground and kayak trips offered."

What you should know

Bears are common: Multiple campgrounds report bear activity. At Tobyhanna State Park, "We were warned at check in that there have been a lot of bears in the area but never really thought that we would see one. As soon as we got to our site one came right up as we were setting up our tent. Do not leave any food out be sure to lock up everything in car."

Site conditions vary significantly: Cranberry Run Campground has mixed terrain. "Mountain side site, nice trail up a mountain. Staff friendly and personable. Bathrooms older but clean," notes one reviewer. Another mentions, "Sites were all rocky and many on steep inclines."

Reservation windows fill quickly: Don Laine Campground is particularly popular. "I highly recommend making your reservation early because this is a great place to stay," advises one camper. During peak season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), many campgrounds require booking 3-6 months in advance.

Tips for camping with families

Look for organized activities: Pocono Vacation Park schedules regular events. "This park is great for families, they had events scheduled throughout the summer, and a separate toddler pool," reports one visitor.

Consider noise levels: Quiet campgrounds may be preferable for families with young children. At Camp Taylor, one camper notes, "Unlike many other campgrounds we've been to, they are very good about actually enforcing the quiet hours at night, so you can have an actual peaceful and quiet night around the campfire."

Check bathroom facilities: Hickory Run State Park offers varied bathroom options. "Some bathrooms are latrines, but they also have beautiful, fully updated showers and restrooms available. The camp store had good hours and is stocked to high heaven; you could come here with just the clothes on your back and buy everything you need."

Tips from RVers

Access considerations: Several campgrounds have challenging entrance roads. Cranberry Run visitors note, "Careful on the roads to the campsite, they're a bit on the bumpy side. Defo smaller roads than your usual ones. We have a minivan so we had to take our time on all the pot holes."

Hookup options: Silver Valley Campsites provides full hookups with specific site layouts. One RVer explains, "The way they have their water, electric and sewer, we had to pull in forward in order to hookup."

Seasonal site availability: Some campgrounds maintain long-term residents. At Pocono Vacation Park, "Mostly long term residents. Sites are dirt/grass and are not level, but they are long which makes up for the front to back level issue. Lots of weekenders and vacationers."
