Best RV Parks & Resorts near Jim Thorpe, PA

Several RV parks surround the Jim Thorpe area in Pennsylvania's scenic mountain region. Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton offers full hookup sites with 30/50 amp service, accommodating larger motorhomes with big-rig friendly spaces. Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort, also in Lehighton, operates year-round with spacious sites for larger RVs. Pine Hill RV Park in Kutztown provides full hookups with both 30 and 50 amp electrical service on gravel sites that operate seasonally from April through November. Appalachian Camping Resort in Shartlesville features pull-through sites with full hookups, operating from April to October. "If you have a fifth wheel, this place is not for you," noted one traveler about a local campground, highlighting the importance of checking site dimensions before booking.

Navigation to some mountain RV parks requires careful planning due to narrow roads with tight turns. Most RV campgrounds in the region provide sanitary dump stations, though availability varies by location. Cell service can be spotty in more remote parks, with one reviewer noting "WiFi and cellular were almost unusable" at a nearby location. Pet-friendly sites are common throughout the area's RV parks, though designated pet loops may apply at some locations. Seasonal availability is an important consideration, as many parks close between November and April. Propane refill services are available at select locations. During peak fall foliage season, advance reservations are essential as RV sites fill quickly. Some parks feature pull-through sites that accommodate larger rigs, while others have back-in sites that may require more maneuvering skill.

    Village Scene Park

    Tucked-Away Community Vibe

    I’m following up on my review from over a year ago with updated insights, additional photos and a quick breakdown of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS: 

    HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Convenient suburban location near Philadelphia yet surprisingly quiet; (2) Full-hookup RV sites with 30 / 50 amp, water, and sewer; (3) Affordable rates compared to other campgrounds in the region; (4) Smaller, tight-knit atmosphere with friendly long-term residents; (5) Pet-friendly, with walking areas and green space; and (6) Nearby restaurants include Franconi’s Pizzeria for classic pies and cheesesteaks and Appalachian Brewing Company with pub fare and house-brewed beers. 

    LOWLIGHTS: (1) Sites are narrow and can feel cramped, so don’t expect big pull-throughs; (2) Limited amenities with no pool, clubhouse, or playground; (3) Grounds feel more like a residential mobile home park than a campground; (4) Some infrastructure is dated and could use upgrades; and (5) Not much in the way of natural scenery because, um, this is urban camping. 

    Happy Camping!

    Colonial Woods Family Resort

    Not big rig friendly.

    Ok so let me start off by saying. If we still had our smaller travel trailer this review would’ve been at least 4 stars. However this place is not the place for you if you have a fifth wheel. The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed (almost took my ac out with a huge limb). Now if you’re not big rig camping like we do, this place is great for you. Close to the ringing rocks and three other towns. We were able to do so much even though it rained the entire weekend we were there.

    Tohickon Family Campground

    Pros Great People beautiful surroundings Nice Bathrooms Quiet and Peaceful Accessible Nice Pool Every store U could Need is in about 15 mins Away Not Alot of Stupid rules just Be respectful Pet friendly

    Mountain Vista Campground

    Mt Vista Campground

    Beautiful Campground. Clean. Gravel sites. Fire ring and picnic table. All sites have ample room. Lots of pull through for bigger rigs. Wooded. Large dog park. Love the Campground except our site is near a fairly busy road which takes away from that beautiful tranquility. They have camouflaged it as best they could. Friendly staff. Lots to do. Pool, tennis. Sauna, pond for fishing ( catch & release ). Would definitely recommend.

    Stonybrook RV Resort

    This is a great place!

    We spent four nights at Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton, PA, for a quiet wedding anniversary getaway— and so glad we did. We paid$150 per night total for a FHU 50 Amp Premium Back-in site (#F20). This campground makes a great home-base while hanging out in the Pocono Mountains. 

    THINGS I LIKED: 

    • This place is in super condition— everything works as it’s supposed to and is clean and maintained 
    • The concrete pad/patio with Breeo smokeless fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and metal patio table and chairs made a great setup 
    • Our site(F20) is level and beautiful— spacious and beautifully landscaped 
    • We interacted with 5 members of their staff and all were welcoming and friendly to talk with 
    • There’s a heated pool behind the office/store so it’s not noisy for campers at their sites 

    THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH: 

    • Just one thing— 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. This may be nitpicky— and I’m not complaining about it— just letting you know to expect it on arrival. 

    WOULD WE COME BACK? 

    • Absolutely, this is a great campground(I’ve already recommended it to my Newmar Kountry Klub chapter president as a possible site for a future rally).

    Tobyhanna State Park Campground

    Great family campground

    This place only gets 4 stars because I thought we were going to have water and electric hook ups. They only have 2 kinds of sites, modern electric (only electric) and primitive. They have a potable water station and dump station and very few sites with electric hook up. They also have specific pet friendly sites. We had a wonderful time here. We went for Father’s Day weekend in June. The lake is gorgeous! Beachfront swimming and boat rentals, great biking and hiking trails. Sites are mostly separated by trees but are still close. Bath houses were very clean and they have a dish washing sink as well. Beach is within walking and biking distance. Two cons- Bath house at the beach is 50 cents for a 2-minute shower, so we just went back to the campground bath house to clean up. The playground near sites 53-56 is a little underwhelming. Otherwise was a great stay! We already booked another stay in September this year!

    The Pines Campground — Promised Land State Park

    Quiet, just remote enough, a Great Lake, and nice camp hosts

    I stayed for three nights in a pull through trailer site with 50 AMP and 30 AMP electric. Easy to get in and out of, nice and shady, big spaces so you were not on top of one another, and nice and quiet. Clean and modern bath house, water close by, and great camp hosts. Definitely recommend it.

    Lower Lake Campground Northwoods Area — Promised Land State Park

    Northwoods Campground

    Big sites with 30 amp service available for RVs and trailers. Each site has a large picnic table and a fire ring with an adjustable grate. The pull-through sites don’t offer much in the way of privacy, but that’s the trade off for convenience. There are two potable water spigots in the campground. The bathhouse offers warm showers, 2 dishwashing sinks, and a coin-operated washer and dryer. The facilities are kept very clean. On the weekends it can get pretty crowded, so it tends to be louder at night then, but the camp hosts and the rangers do a good job of enforcing quiet hours. Access points to several trails are very near the campground. As with all PA state parks, alcohol is prohibited. The park doesn’t have a camp store, however, there is a small general store on Route 390 (The Lake Store) just north of the park that would have any essentials you may have forgotten, as well as ice for your cooler.

    Quakerwoods Campground

    Quaint Bucks County Camping Outpost

    If you find yourself careening around the picturesque country roads here in Bucks County you will discover Quakerwoods Campground (named of course after the previous tri-cornered hat-donning Quaker residents who settled this vast rich farmland a few hundred years ago) nestled in the verdant, rolling hills of a plush countryside punctuated by massive rolled bays of hay in the surrounding fields, covered wooden bridges and the occasional quaint New England well-preserved charming towns that you will encounter. So, if you have camping on your mind, finding a place like Quakerwoods Campground is quite the find, as it will place you squarely in the heart of one of the most picturesque natural landscapes here in the Keystone State.

    As for the campground, which is just off Exit 44 of PA Turnpike or Exit 60 & 60A off of I78, you’ll encounter a destination offering up 170 mostly back-in slots with full hook-ups (30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage) for RVs ranging between $55-$49 in the midst of a fairly decent wooded surrounding, although less so on the interior of the campground and moreso on its perimeter. There’s about 18 tent sites ranging between $40-$45 that  feature 15 amp electric and running water. All RV and tent sites are relatively flat and include a standard-issued picnic table and in-ground fold-up fire ring. Don’t have an RV, 5th Wheeler or Tent? Not a problem, as the good folks here at Quakerwoods will rent you one of their 4-6 person campers for $120/ night.

    The amenities here at Quakerwoods Campground are plenty, inclusive of: 4 Pristine restroom& shower facilities, Wi-Fi service, Free wagon rides(every Saturday), Camp store, Fishing pond, Adult& kid swimming pools, Walking paths, Fishing pond, Game room, Family bingo, Mini golf, Baseball field, Horseshoe pits, Kids Playgrounds, RC track, Front& Back pavilions, Sand Volleyball court, Cornhole, Basketball court, Designated dump stations, water stations, Bonfires, 2 Shuffleboard courts, Ice for sale, Propane refueling station, Laundry-O-Mat, Themed weekends and Pet friendly.

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) As a tent camper, I was impressed by how Quakerwoods segregates mi tent pitchin’ bredren from the rest of the folks who bring their homes with them on wheels, placing tent sites across the other side of a small creek on the southwestern periphery near the fishing pond; (2) Should you grow weary of trying to conjure up that next meal from the depths of your Cordova roto-molded cooler or from the confines of your onboard mini-fridge, while there’s not a ton of restaurants around these parts, there are a few and they are pretty amazing, including favorites Brick Tavern Inn and The West End, McCoole’s @ The Historic Red Lion Inn and Sage Alley Brewery; (3) In the event that you need to replenish any of your supplies, rest assured as in nearby Quakertown, there’s a Giant & Aldi’s grocery store as well as a local Target, Walmart, TJMaxx, Kohl’s and Link Beverages to stock up on the 21+ liquid refreshment; and (4) Should you be towing your canoe or kayak with you and are eager to get the beak of your waterbird wet, then head on over due east of Quakertown Campground to Nockamixon SP where there’s a sizeable, yet skinny lake just begging for you to navigate it and get some good, hard oaring in.

    Happy Camping!


Guide to Jim Thorpe

Cabins near Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania offer visitors a chance to experience the Pocono Mountains region with elevation ranges from 400 to 2,200 feet. Most cabin accommodations in the area sit between 800-1,200 feet, creating moderate temperature variations between valley locations and mountain sites. During fall months when temperatures drop to 40-60°F, cabin campers can expect more significant temperature changes between day and night.

What to do

Fishing at Robin Hill Campground: The property features a catch-and-release lake where many guests spend their mornings. "Located 30 miles or so northwest from 'The City of Brotherly Love,' VSP is a hodge-podge of different living accommodations," writes one visitor about nearby camping options when exploring the region's fishing spots.

Hiking nearby trails: Several parks near rv sites around Jim Thorpe connect to wilderness trails. "If you are staying here I definitely recommend heading down the road a short way and hiking on the AT from the Lehigh nature center," notes a visitor to Pocono Point.

Mountain biking: The ski resort areas transform in warmer months for downhill mountain biking. "Ride the ski lifts up to the top of the mountain then you get to bike down it, they have rental bikes available or bring your own," explains a camper about activities at Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort.

What campers like

Clean bathroom facilities: Many campers specifically mention bathroom cleanliness as a major plus. "The Shower / bathrooms are the best I've ever seen," writes a winter visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort.

Pool access: Most campgrounds in the area maintain seasonal pools that stay open later than many other regions. "The pool was very nice and refreshing. I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end," notes a reviewer at Robin Hill Campground.

Variety of accommodation types: Beyond traditional RV spots, some parks offer unique lodging. "They have the trendy teepee rentals and glamping tents. They also have stationary RVs on site that you can stay in, those are about $120 per night," shares a visitor about Pocono Point.

What you should know

Limited cell service: Mobile connectivity can be problematic at certain campgrounds. "WiFi and internet were slow and intermittent," reports one camper about facilities near Jim Thorpe, with monthly rates around $595 for longer stays.

Seasonal operation: Most cabin rentals near Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania have limited availability during winter months. "We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow," notes a Stonybrook RV Resort visitor.

Narrow access roads: Some RV sites require careful navigation. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site," cautions a visitor at Robin Hill Campground.

Price variations: Rates can differ significantly between weekdays and weekends. "For $80 bucks I expected more. The place is run down and almost feels abandoned," comments one reviewer about certain facilities in the region.

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning: Several campgrounds organize regular family events. "The activity director organized a nice continental breakfast, free chair massages, and raffled off manicure and pedicures. They had an art activity for the children, BINGO on Friday night, and a live band on Saturday night," shares a visitor to Robin Hill.

Playground access: Not all campgrounds have playground equipment. "There is no playground. Many people living here in campers that are in terrible shape," warns a reviewer at one location, highlighting the need to research child-friendly options.

Consider terrain: The mountainous topography creates challenges for families with small children. "Robin HILL for a reason. You will get your exercise walking to the pond, pool, campstore or basketball courts. The playground was luckily right across from us up on the hill," notes a visitor at Lake-In-Wood Campground.

Pet policies: Most campgrounds allow pets but may have specific areas. "Pet-friendly, with walking areas and green space," mentions a reviewer about Village Scene Park, noting the empty lot adjacent to RV sites provides space for dogs.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Careful consideration of site layout helps avoid issues. "Our site was level and nicely graded. We didn't have any trouble getting in and out and all the hook-ups were well-placed and worked well (including the cable)," shares a visitor to Pine Hill RV Park.

Entrance challenges: Some parks have difficult access points. "Just one thing— 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," cautions a visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort.

Tree considerations: Overhead branches can cause problems for taller rigs. "While there are some nice large pine trees, they were trimmed and not an issue driving through the park or at our site. The only problem with the trees was the pine sap everywhere that we stuck to our shoes," notes a Pine Hill RV Park camper.

Weekend planning: Advance booking is essential for weekend stays when rv sites near Jim Thorpe fill quickly. "We spent the month of June 2021 at the campground. Full most of the time but, clean and beautiful. Never any loud noise even on the weekends," shares a Pine Hill visitor.
