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!

Several RV parks offer seasonal camping near Bushkill with varying amenities and site configurations. Thousand Trails Timothy Lake North and Timothy Lake South in East Stroudsburg provide full hookup RV sites including water, electric, and sewer connections, operating from May through October. Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort in Lehighton features large pull-through RV pads that accommodate big rigs. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site," noted one visitor at Robin Hill Campground, which operates from April to November with 50-amp electrical service. Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton maintains meticulously clean grounds with electric, water, and sewer hookups for travel trailers and motorhomes.
Navigating to some mountain parks requires careful planning due to steep grades and winding roads. Many parks maintain sanitary dump stations, though availability varies by location. A camper wrote, "The place was meticulously clean and the permanent campers keep their sites so well." Seasonal considerations are important as most facilities close during winter months, with only Blue Mountain RV and Scotrun operating year-round. Reservation requirements become particularly important during peak fall foliage season when occupancy rates are highest. Pet policies are generally permissive across the region, with most parks allowing leashed pets. Propane service is limited, so travelers should plan accordingly and arrive with tanks filled. Cell service can be spotty in more remote locations between Delaware Water Gap and the Pocono Mountains.

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.

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!

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 Bushkill
RV camping near Bushkill, Pennsylvania sits within the Pocono Mountains region where elevations range from 1,200 to 1,800 feet. Most campgrounds in this area operate on terrain that features deciduous forest with rocky soil conditions. Cell service can vary dramatically between providers, with Verizon typically offering better coverage than AT&T or T-Mobile in the mountainous sections north of Delaware Water Gap.
What to do
Disc golf course access: Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort has a full course on site. "By far my favorite campground in PA. Staff was nice & showed us to our campground, hauled our firewood, and checked in regularly to make sure we didn't need anything. Restrooms were really clean. There were endless activities from hiking to mountain biking," noted one camper.
Bike the mountain trails: At Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort, visitors can ride ski lifts to the mountain peak and bike down designated trails. "You can also Zip line or swing through the trees if you would rather. If your into Disc golf this place has that too," reports a visitor who enjoyed the adventure options.
Fishing opportunities: Robin Hill Campground offers a catch-and-release fishing pond. "There is a pond for fishing however we didn't have any luck. It had a lot of pond scum and there were a lot of duck families around," notes one visitor. Fishing licenses are not required for private ponds, but the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission regulations apply for nearby streams.
What campers like
Level concrete pads: Stonybrook RV Resort provides premium sites with solid foundations. "The concrete pad/patio with Breeo smokeless fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and metal patio table and chairs made a great setup. Our site(F20) is level and beautiful—spacious and beautifully landscaped," notes one visitor who appreciated the stable setup.
Heated pool facilities: Pools remain a popular amenity across several parks. "We interacted with 5 members of their staff and all were welcoming and friendly to talk with. There's a heated pool behind the office/store so it's not noisy for campers at their sites," mentioned a camper at Stonybrook RV Resort who enjoyed the thoughtful pool placement.
Family activities: Appalachian Camping Resort organizes regular social events. "The campground had numerous activities set up all throughout the day and there was something for everyone. There was bingo, crafts, a vendor craft show, hot dog eating contest for adults and kids, candy scramble in the dark for adults and kids, a dj Saturday night and a live band Sunday night," shared a visitor who stayed during a holiday weekend.
What you should know
Road grade challenges: Mountain access requires careful driving planning. "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," cautioned a visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort.
Seasonal population differences: Many parks have year-round residents or seasonal campers. "We stayed at Appalachian to visit a friend who has a seasonal site. Our site was full hook up. It was a nice size and was in a good location - near the ponds, pool, office, and bathhouse - but was still quiet! The majority of seasonal sites we're clean and we'll maintained," explained one camper.
Site drainage issues: Rain can create challenging conditions at some parks. "Sites are pretty big and clean. Can't tell you about restroom as I have my own, but they do have. Nice lake for fishing. About an hour from a motorbike riding park," mentioned a visitor at Robin Hill Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several parks maintain play areas for children. "Although they do have sites for tents, this seems to be better suited for RVers and renting cabins. Many of the people we met during our stay are regulars. There is an outdoor pool which is open seasonally, an arcade, a playground for children, and a catch and release lake for fishing," noted a family who stayed at Robin Hill Campground.
Frisbee golf for kids: Blue Mountain offers Frisbee golf as a family activity. "This campground is called Robin HILL for a reason. You will get you exercise walking to the pond, pool, capstone or basketball courts. The playground was luckily right across from us up on the hill. They also have a Frisbee golf course on site," mentioned a family that appreciated the recreational options.
Pool temperature consideration: Village Scene Park provides kid-friendly pool features. "We enjoyed our time here and would try again but in the lower level. The pool was very nice and refreshing. I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end," shared a parent who enjoyed the pool design.
Tips from RVers
Watch the entrance turns: Multiple RV parks in the region have challenging entrances. "This place is in super condition—everything works as it's supposed to and is clean and maintained. I made it without problems, but it wasn't easy in a 45' motorhome towing a Jeep," explained an RVer at Stonybrook RV Resort.
Check site width before booking: Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South has tight spacing between some sites. "Sites are long but narrow. Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi. Cell service is ok. Verizon is 25 down 10 up. Tmobile is unusable," warned an RVer who tested the connections.
Cell service varies dramatically: Connectivity issues affect most parks in the region. "When we arrived we were surprised at how many seasonal campsites there were. Definitely a beautiful campground. Staff are great and responsive. 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," reported a recent visitor to Timothy Lake South.
