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!

Cell service varies significantly across campgrounds, with some parks offering no coverage at all—one reviewer mentioned needing Starlink for internet access. Dump stations are available at most state parks, though placement can vary, with some positioned near exits for convenient departure access.

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.

Beautiful Falls!
What 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!

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.

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!

Indian Head Campground
Newbie here
Was 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.

Quiet camping
Just a few others here so it is quite peaceful. A one mile walk gets you to the lake. They have a covered pavilion with plenty of picnic tables. My site is large with plenty of trees providing shade. The outhouse is a bit of a walk. Garbage cans are inside it. I haven’t seen a water source but it might be around.
Guide to Dallas
RV parks around Dallas, Pennsylvania require careful navigation through mountain terrain with elevation changes that can impact larger vehicles. Many campgrounds in this Pocono Mountain region sit at elevations between 1,200-1,700 feet, with seasonal operations from April through October. Cell service varies significantly between parks, with coverage strongest near higher elevation sites but limited or nonexistent in valley locations.
What to Do
Hike to waterfalls: Hickory Run State Park offers 44 miles of trails with varying difficulty levels. "We found the 2 trails we hiked - Hawk Falls and Shades of Death trails - where were rated 'more difficult' were not bad to hike at all. We hiked both with your 2 large dogs. Both of these trails had a creek and waterfalls," notes one visitor at Hickory Run State Park Campground.
Visit Boulder Field: This unique geological formation provides an unusual recreational opportunity. "Boulders everywhere! Big ones, small ones, run (carefully) across them all! Beyond the Boulder field is a vast, scary, unknown," shares a camper from Hickory Run. The boulder field is accessible via a stone road through the woods.
Water activities: Ricketts Glen State Park Campground features Lake Jean for boating and swimming. "The beach was a little more than a half mile walk from our site," reports one visitor, while another mentions "beach and lake activities are available as well."
What Campers Like
Privacy variations: Sites at Frances Slocum State Park Campground offer different levels of seclusion. "We had site 44 in the Stony Point loop and it was by far the largest campsite on the property. We had a thick covered wooded area to our right and a huge grassy area to the left," a camper shares.
Peaceful environment: Stonybrook RV Resort earns praise for its quietness. "We spent four nights at Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton, PA, for a quiet wedding anniversary getaway— and so glad we did. This place is in super condition— everything works as it's supposed to and is clean and maintained," according to one reviewer at Stonybrook RV Resort.
Camping infrastructure: "The concrete pad/patio with Breeo smokeless fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and metal patio table and chairs made a great setup," notes a Stonybrook visitor about their premium site amenities, highlighting the upgraded features available at some rv parks near Dallas, Pennsylvania.
What You Should Know
Entrance challenges: Some rv parks Dallas, Pennsylvania have difficult access roads. At Stonybrook, "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."
Technology limitations: Internet connectivity varies significantly. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, a visitor reports "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."
Winter access: Most campgrounds winterize from late October through early April, but some remain open year-round. "We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow," notes a winter visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort.
Tips for Camping with Families
Playground options: Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort offers recreational facilities for children. "Staff was nice & showed us to our campground, hauled our firewood, and checked in regularly to make sure we didn't need anything. There were endless activities from hiking to mountain biking," shares one family visitor.
Wildlife awareness: Bears are present in the region. "Be aware that this area has a high bear population and all campers are required to keep food items in their vehicles or trailers when not at the site," explains a Hickory Run camper.
Recreation amenities: Campgrounds offer varied activities for children. "There is a heated pool behind the office/store so it's not noisy for campers at their sites," notes a Stonybrook visitor, while another mentions "There's a nice playground and a GaGa pit."
Tips from RVers
Utility connections: Clayton Park RV Escape provides reliable services for larger rigs. "A well run, well staffed, facilities are excellent," states one visitor, while another notes "Even though I had a boo boo, they were very forgiving, after I explained that I had a brand new RV and it had an issue with my black water tank."
Site selection: "Sites are kinda close together but it was fairly quiet even though it was full," reports an RVer at Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, noting the typical spacing at many rv parks near Dallas, Pennsylvania.
Water pressure awareness: "Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi," cautions an RVer at Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, suggesting campers bring pressure regulators for their water connections.
