Several RV parks exist within driving distance of Jessup, Pennsylvania, including Clayton Park RV Escape which offers full hookup sites with 50-amp service from May through mid-October. Thousand Trails Scotrun provides year-round RV camping with water and electric hookups on spacious sites that accommodate larger motorhomes and travel trailers. The Lower Lake Campground at Promised Land State Park features paved pull-through RV pads with electric service, though water connections are limited to central spigots. Sites throughout the region vary considerably in size and privacy, with some parks placing RVs closer together than others. "The RV sites are spaced out nicely with plenty of room for slide-outs and awnings," noted one visitor to Keen Lake Resort Campground.
Seasonal availability affects planning decisions across northeastern Pennsylvania's RV parks. Most campgrounds in the Poconos region operate from spring through fall, with fewer options during winter months. Travel to mountain locations requires navigation of winding roads with occasional steep grades and tight turns. Pull-through sites are available at several parks but may require advance reservation, especially during peak summer and fall foliage seasons. Dump stations are provided at most established RV parks, though some smaller locations offer only partial hookups. Pet-friendly sites exist at nearly all campgrounds, though specific restrictions may apply. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, many RV campers appreciate the proximity to recreational activities: "Even though this is an older campground, you can already see improvements happening, though it can be challenging parking and setting up an RV."

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!

Fall foliage viewing: Thousand Trails Scotrun provides a strategic base for autumn leaf viewing. "We came in at end of season, so pretty much everything seems closed. But, it's a beautiful campground and the part of PA is great too," reports Kasey M., highlighting the natural beauty that persists even when facilities wind down for winter.
Clean facilities: Many campers mention facility cleanliness as a standout feature at campgrounds near Jessup. "Bathrooms were the cleanest we've ever experienced at a campground," notes one visitor to Keen Lake Resort Campground, though they also point out that "*The showers are coin operated."

Tmobile is unusable," while another adds "I was not able to get WiFi even though I paid for it. We had to park near the office to get it to work."
State park reservations: For camping at state parks like Lower Lake Campground at Promised Land State Park, advance planning is essential. "We stayed in lower lake beechwood site 323.

Site selection for privacy: When booking at campgrounds near Jessup, requesting specific site areas can significantly improve the experience.

Nice trails leading out our door," shares Mary H. about her experience at Thousand Trails Timothy Lake North, demonstrating how strategic site selection can enhance privacy.
