Most campgrounds in the region require advance reservations, especially during summer weekends and fall foliage season. Sites range from basic tent platforms to full-service RV spots with electric, water, and sewer connections.

"The tent camping area was right along the river, some sites with direct access, some you'd have to walk a little more to the larger access areas."

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.

Peaceful Wilderness Escape for Adventurous Families
There's something wonderfully special about escaping into nature where the only sounds are rustling leaves, birds singing and the gentle movement of water along the shoreline. Nestled among the wooded hills surrounding the beautiful Round Valley Reservoir, this rustic SP campground offers families a chance to disconnect from everyday distractions and enjoy a little wilderness adventure together. Unlike traditional campgrounds, the campsites are accessible only by hiking or boating, so getting anywhere here requires some planning and a willingness to travel light. Once you've arrived, you'll find secluded, wooded campsites with picnic tables, fire rings and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Amenities are basic, with pit toilets and no showers, but the beautiful reservoir, scenic hiking trails, fishing and kayaking opportunities more than make up for the lack of modern conveniences. Our kids loved exploring the woods, spotting wildlife and gathering around a crackling campfire at night to share stories beneath the stars. For families comfortable with the hike, I'd recommend choosing one of the campsites along the reservoir shoreline for the lovely water views and peaceful surroundings. Just remember that swimming is limited to the park's designated beach area. Round Valley isn't your typical family campground, but for adventurous families who enjoy hiking, camping under the stars and making wonderful memories together, it's a beautiful place to experience nature at its finest!

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.

Council Cup Campground
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
Guide to Henryville
The Pocono Mountains region surrounding Henryville sits at elevations between 1,300-2,200 feet, creating cooler summer temperatures than nearby urban areas. Campgrounds near Henryville typically operate in a heavily forested environment with mixed hardwood forests and natural water features. Most camping areas require advance preparation for the region's rocky, sometimes uneven terrain that can challenge tent setup.
What to do
Hike to Wolf Preserves: Camp Taylor Campground provides direct access to the Appalachian Trail and houses the Lakota Wolf Preserve. "We took 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," notes Julie F. from Camp Taylor Campground.
Fishing and Boating: Otter Lake Camp Resort offers lakefront camping with fishing and boating options. "Beautiful Lake with fishing & boating, pools indoor and outdoor, great biking even a trail around the lake," according to Nicole S. The facility maintains boat rentals for those without their own equipment.
Boulder Field Exploration: Hickory Run State Park features a unique geological formation. "The Boulder Fields are one of the coolest places I've ever visited, partially because they were so unexpected. Don't twist an ankle, but you can play hide and seek to an extent as there are small depressions in the fields," shares Amber A. from Hickory Run State Park Campground.
Waterfalls and Streams: Multiple parks feature accessible water features. "The Conservation Walk on the island is short, easy, and beautiful. Well-marked," notes Alaina Z. about Promised Land State Park. Many campsites include water access for cooling off during summer months.
What campers like
Private, Wooded Sites: Mountain Vista Campground offers fully shaded camping spots. "The campground has three levels. The tent sites all have water & electric, and have a picnic table and fire ring. The sites are fully shaded," reports Tori S. from Mountain Vista Campground.
Clean Facilities: Worthington State Forest maintains modern bathrooms despite its natural setting. "The facilities are modern, basic, and clean. We heard about some bear incidents here recently but we didn't encounter any or any evidence of them," mentions Harry H. Families appreciate the reliable amenities amid the wilderness experience.
Waterfront Access: Pickerel Point Campground at Promised Land State Park offers direct lake access. "We had site 100 and amazing views of the water from our camper. The trails were beautiful, recommend little falls trail. The bathrooms were clean with nice hot showers," says Kelly F. from Pickerel Point Campground.
Space for Groups: Some campgrounds accommodate larger gatherings effectively. "We had a group of 10 people and they were able to put us all on the same site. Looks like they have permanently merged sites 81 and 82. They also have larger group sites (up to 50 people) available," notes Sarah L. about Cranberry Run Campground.
What you should know
Bear Safety Protocols: Many campgrounds require specific food storage practices. Erik M. from Tobyhanna State Park Campground warns: "Do not leave any food out be sure to lock up everything in car. As soon as we got to our site one came right up as we were setting up our tent."
Varying Bathroom Standards: Facility quality differs significantly between campgrounds and even within the same park. "Certain bathrooms were clean enough, and they have coin op laundry which could be nice for families. They only had one utility sink to clean dishes, and the faucet was a poorly working motion sensor," reports Emilie D.
Seasonal Operations: Most campgrounds operate from April to October with limited winter access. "This was my second visit in the cold months. Sites have electric but no water. Spigot close by. Heated cozy bathhouse with clean showers," reports Mara S. about operating seasons at Promised Land State Park.
Site Selection Importance: Campground layout affects experience significantly. "Our particular camp site was huge! There was plenty of room for us to spread out. But some were extremely small and very close to the next camper," notes Carol N. about Delaware Water Gap KOA.
Tips for camping with families
Look for Activity-Rich Options: Mount Pocono Campground offers numerous amenities for children. "There is a huge swimming pool and a toddler's pool. The game room has pool tables, ping pong, arcade games, library, gym, and so much more!" reports Jeff & Steff's Excellent Adventure from Mount Pocono Campground.
Consider Noise Levels: Different campground sections offer varying quiet levels. "The sections of spots toward the back by the pond are usually packed and lots of activity and early morning active children," notes Julie F. Families with early risers might prefer busier sections while light sleepers should request quieter areas.
Playground Proximity: Some campgrounds strategically place play areas. "Our camp site was great (52), backed onto a wooded area and a big playground was directly in front of us, which worked out perfectly since we have school age kids," shares Penny C. about Delaware Water Gap KOA.
Bathroom Accessibility: For families with young children, bathroom proximity matters. "We stayed at sites 62 & 63. This place, and these sites, were perfect for a little disconnect from society and a little reconnect with our kids, parents and siblings. These two sites were next to the shower house and playground," recommends Jamie A.
Tips from RVers
Site Surface Considerations: RV sites in the region typically feature gravel pads. "The park has FHU 30/50 amp sites with gravel sites," notes Jeff & Steff's Excellent Adventure. Some campgrounds like Worthington State Forest have more natural surfaces that may require extra leveling.
Access Road Challenges: Many campgrounds have narrow entrance roads. "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," warns Christine N. from Worthington State Forest Campground.
Site Selection for Size: Larger RVs need to book appropriate sites. "Lots of pull through for bigger rigs. Wooded," notes joyce B. Some campgrounds feature both open and wooded sections with different clearance limitations.
Utility Reliability: Power and water quality vary between campgrounds. "We picked this site because you can kayak and it's close to the tree top adventures. Typical campground with bathrooms and showers," reports Maggie A. about Tobyhanna State Park, noting the practical utility access.
