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!

Sanitary dump stations are available at most established RV parks including Robin Hill, Appalachian Camping Resort, and Stonybrook. Cell service varies considerably across the mountainous terrain. Most parks welcome pets with standard leash policies, though designated pet walking areas are limited. Winter RV camping options include Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort and Thousand Trails Scotrun, both maintaining year-round operations while others close from November through March. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends and fall foliage season when occupancy reaches peak levels.

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.

Echo Valley Campground
Big sites with lots of trees
We only spent the night and didn't look at the amenities. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.

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!
Guide to Hazleton
RV campgrounds near Hazleton, Pennsylvania sit at elevations between 1,400 and 2,000 feet in the northeastern Pocono region. Winter camping options remain limited with temperatures often dropping below 20°F in January, though several facilities maintain year-round operations. Most campgrounds feature gravel pads rather than concrete, requiring additional leveling equipment for larger recreational vehicles.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Lakewood Park Campground, the lake provides a central recreation feature with a small dock for anglers. "The lake is was nice and had a small dock perfect for fishing," reports one visitor. The campground offers both paddle boats and kayaks for water recreation.
Disc golf courses: Outdoor enthusiasts can access disc golf facilities at Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort during spring and summer months. The resort transforms from winter skiing to warm-weather activities. "If your into Disc golf this place has that too," mentions a reviewer who enjoyed the varied recreation options.
Trail access: Proximity to the Appalachian Trail creates hiking opportunities from several campgrounds. "Close to the Appalachian Trail if your a hiker," notes one Blue Mountain visitor. Many campgrounds serve as convenient base camps for day trips to nearby trail sections, typically 15-30 minutes by car.
What campers like
Clean facilities: New or recently renovated bathhouses receive consistent praise at several locations. At Lakewood Park Campground, campers appreciate the modern construction: "The park is relatively new. Everything is clean and in great working order. All kinds of maintenance was going on throughout each day, and it shows."
Spacious sites: Many campers highlight the generous site dimensions at Stonybrook RV Resort, particularly noting the concrete pads. "The concrete pad/patio with Breeo smokeless fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and metal patio table and chairs made a great setup," explains one visitor who found the site well-appointed.
Organized activities: Weekend recreation programs enhance the camping experience at several facilities. "Fun activities during our stay included bingo and a food truck," mentions a Lakewood Park visitor. At Appalachian Camping Resort, scheduled events occur throughout summer months: "The campground had numerous activities set up all throughout the day and there was something for everyone."
What you should know
Steep access roads: Mountain terrain creates challenging approaches to several campgrounds. At Appalachian Camping Resort, the interstate proximity provides convenience but impacts noise levels. "Convenient location, close to the Interstate. VERY loud noise from the Interstate," reports one visitor, highlighting this trade-off.
Limited swimming options: Despite having ponds or lakes, not all facilities permit swimming. At Lakewood Park, "You're not allowed to swim in the lake although you're allowed to use floats," notes a recent visitor. Most sites with pools typically close them from October through April.
Varied pet policies: While most campgrounds allow pets, additional fees may apply. One reviewer noted an unexpected charge at Pocono Point: "All for rates that are ridiculous, including $10/night per pet. Never heard of paying for pets at a campground."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Robin Hill Campground maintains several recreation areas for children. "There is an outdoor pool which is open seasonally, an arcade, a playground for children, and a catch and release lake for fishing," notes one visitor, highlighting the family-friendly amenities.
Campground layout considerations: Hilly terrain affects mobility around certain facilities. At Robin Hill Campground, a reviewer observed: "What a view! Out the rear of the campground was a spectacular view! It's too bad it is mainly seasonal sites back there. This campground is called Robin HILL for a reason. You will get you exercise walking to the pond, pool, capstone or basketball courts."
Supervised recreation: Organized children's activities vary significantly between campgrounds. At Appalachian Camping Resort, one family appreciated the diverse programming: "The campground had numerous activities set up all throughout the day and there was something for everyone. I find that a lot of campground activities tend to be centered around small children and with my kids being 13 and 12, they're usually left out of the fun."
Tips from RVers
Site leveling requirements: Prepare for variable terrain at most RV campgrounds near Hazleton. At Moyers Grove Campground, campers recommend checking site slopes before positioning: "The sites were a nice size and were well shaded. The campground was quiet and peaceful."
Water hookup distances: Several locations require extended hose setups. One Moyers Grove visitor advised: "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."
Off-season availability: Winter camping options remain limited around Hazleton, with most facilities closing between November and March. Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort operates year-round, and one winter visitor noted: "We visited in fall so we had the entire place to ourselves."
