Lackawanna State Park Campground provides 30-amp and 50-amp electric hookups at approximately one-third of its sites, with both back-in and pull-through options available for RVs. The campground features gravel parking pads in the electric loops, while the non-electric section has dirt and grass surfaces. "The sites have more trees on the outer part of a loop," noted one visitor who appreciated the additional privacy these locations offered. Mountain Vista Campground offers gravel sites with full hookups and numerous pull-through spaces designed for larger motorhomes, while Keen Lake Resort Campground provides seasonal camping from April through mid-October with full hookup options including 50-amp service.
Navigating to some Pocono Mountain RV parks requires careful planning due to narrow mountain roads with elevation changes. Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, typically closing between mid-October and early May, though Thousand Trails Scotrun remains open year-round. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with several reviewers mentioning spotty coverage in more remote locations. According to one camper, "We had to go all the way down the mountain to get texts or make calls." Dump stations are available at most parks, though they can become congested during peak checkout times on summer weekends. Pet-friendly sites exist at nearly all area campgrounds, but many have designated pet loops or specific restrictions.

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!

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.

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.

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 Jermyn
Camping options near Jermyn, Pennsylvania range from wooded lakeside sites to full-hookup mountain RV parks. The area sits in the northeastern Pennsylvania highlands at elevations between 1,300-1,800 feet, creating cooler summer temperatures than surrounding lowlands. Fall foliage typically peaks in mid-October, while spring campers should prepare for muddy conditions through May due to snowmelt and seasonal rain.
What to do
Lakeside activities: At Lackawanna State Park Campground, visitors enjoy water recreation on the 198-acre lake. "There is fishing and boating, and an amazing network of hiking and horse riding trails," notes one camper. Winter visitors find special attractions too: "We would love to come back in the winter when they have an ice rink with a warming house."
River adventures: The Delaware River provides recreational opportunities at Soaring Eagle Campground. "Nice campground right on the Delaware river great for fisherman, hikers also great for tubing down the Delaware or canoeing," writes Mike S. The campground offers equipment rentals for those without their own gear: "Canoe/kayak/tube rentals and designated drive in sites with fire ring and table."
Mountain sports: In the cooler months, visit the mountains for seasonal activities. "Camped here a few times, for a few days. Each time is always a blast. So beautiful, and clean," says one visitor to Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort, which transforms from winter ski resort to summer camping destination.
What campers like
Spacious, private sites: Many campers appreciate campgrounds that offer room to spread out. At Soaring Eagle Campground, "The sites are larger than most campgrounds and well spaced out. I have been there on busy holiday weekends where it was full but still peaceful and private with a great community of campers."
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses rank high on camper priorities. At Promised Land State Park, visitors note the consistent upkeep: "Bathrooms were clean and so was the site. Sites were a good size and not on top of each other." Another camper adds, "Despite the constant rain, it was quiet and peaceful. You could only ever hear the wildlife."
Family-friendly atmosphere: Campgrounds with organized activities get high marks from families. One camper at Keen Lake Resort appreciates that "They have activity coordinators that make sure there is something to do for all ages every hour of the day! The security is great and patrol to make sure quiet hours are quiet to be courteous to other campers."
What you should know
Weather considerations: The mountainous terrain creates variable conditions. Fall brings spectacular foliage but cooler nights, with temperatures typically dropping into the 30s by mid-October. Spring camping can be wet, with snowmelt persisting into May.
Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds in the area fill quickly during summer and fall weekends. At Keen Lake Resort Campground, a popular family destination, one visitor noted, "Making reservations online was simple. Everyone working there was very friendly and helped in any way if needed."
Connectivity challenges: Cell coverage varies dramatically throughout the region due to mountainous terrain. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, "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."
Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds close between mid-October and late April. Clayton Park RV Escape operates "May 1 - Oct 15," while Lackawanna State Park's camping season runs "2nd Fri April to 3rd Sun October."
Tips for camping with families
Choose activities-focused campgrounds: Look for places with organized programs for different age groups. At Keen Lake Resort, "This place is perfect for families, beginners, adventurers, and fisherman alike. They have an overabundance amount of activities scheduled for campers."
Consider rental options: For families new to camping, several parks offer alternatives to tent camping. "They offer rented cabins/houses and RVs," notes one Keen Lake visitor. This provides comfort while still enjoying the outdoor experience.
Plan for connectivity needs: While unplugging is ideal, today's families often need some connection. One Soaring Eagle camper observed, "I know this controversial, but having Wi-Fi would be great esp when camping w/ kids."
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategies: For RV sites near Jermyn, Pennsylvania, choosing the right location matters. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, "Sites are long but narrow. Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi."
Hookup considerations: Verify which utilities are available at your desired campground. At Timothy Lake South, "Simple Campground - nice lay out albeit as with many campgrounds, the spaces are quite close together."
Road navigation: Some campgrounds require careful driving. At Tri-State RV Park, visitors appreciate the "easy on, easy off on I 84. Great place to pull in for the night if you are traveling. Safe, clean, and right on the Delaware River. Groceries and Home Depot close buy if you need to restock."
