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!

The Pocono Mountain region near Canadensis offers several RV campgrounds with developed facilities. Timothy Lake South RV provides pull-through sites with strong water pressure and full hookups, while Scotrun RV Resort remains open year-round with sites that accommodate larger rigs. "Sites are long but narrow. Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi," noted one visitor about Timothy Lake South. Lower Lake Campground in Promised Land State Park provides electric, water, and sewer hookups with varying degrees of site privacy, though RV pads are positioned relatively close together.
Seasonal availability varies significantly between parks, with Timothy Lake locations typically operating May through October. Cell service fluctuates dramatically throughout the mountainous terrain, with AT&T and T-Mobile coverage particularly unreliable in the Timothy Lake area. Most RV parks near Canadensis maintain sanitary dump stations on-site, though Lower Lake Campground's facilities may be winterized outside peak season. Pets are permitted at most locations but often with restrictions on certain sites or areas. Mountain roads leading to some campgrounds present navigation challenges for larger motorhomes, with several reviews noting the need to carefully select sites that accommodate slide-outs without encroaching on neighboring campers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cool Riverside Campground
I'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.

Black Bear RV Park
Super clean and quiet
Past reviews has mentioned that the office seems to be closed often, while I found that to be true I had no reason to contact anyone. This is definitely one of the cleanest quiets site I’ve ever visited

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!

What you should know
Varying site conditions: Some campgrounds have limitations or challenges with site layouts. At Lower Lake Campground, one camper noted the "only downside was fire pit area was very un-level for camping chairs," while another described RV pads as "spaced put perfectly."
Limited services: Grocery and supply options can be sparse near some campgrounds. A visitor to Lower Lake mentioned, "Firewood was available in the area. But not much for stores so pack everything in before."
Road conditions: Thousand Trails Timothy Lake North presents navigation challenges.

Another notes there are "lots of sites here and the grounds range from being near neighbors to more spread out in the valley."
Weather considerations: The mountain climate affects camping conditions throughout the season. At Thousand Trails Scotrun, one visitor observed, "We came in at end of season, so pretty much everything seems closed. But, it's a beautiful campground."

A visitor notes it's "perfect for the commuting RVers just looking for somewhere safe to sleep for the night," with another mentioning, "Located just off the highway so lots of vehicle noise 24/7. Sites are on a gravel lot."
