Cabin camping options near Kunkletown sit at elevations between 400-800 feet in Pennsylvania's Pocono region. The area experiences average summer temperatures in the mid-80s and winter lows regularly dropping below freezing. Local campgrounds typically operate from April through November with a few offering year-round accommodations for travelers seeking refuge in this wooded region west of Stroudsburg.
What to do
Disc golf course: Pocono Point offers access to trails and activities along the creek running from Beltzville Dam. "Cute campground with RV and creekside tent sites near Lehigh Gap. My favorite spots are the tent-only sites along the creek," reports one visitor. For hikers, "I definitely recommend heading down the road a short way and hiking on the AT from the Lehigh nature center."
Fishing at multiple locations: Many parks provide catch-and-release fishing opportunities. At Robin Hill Campground, "There is a catch and release lake for fishing," though one camper notes the pond "had a lot of pond scum and there were a lot of duck families around." For a different experience, Luis B. mentions that Pine Hill RV Park has "nice lake for fishing. About an hour from a motorbike riding park."
Mountain biking adventures: The regional terrain supports various riding experiences. At Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort, "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. You can also Zip line or swing through the trees if you would rather."
What campers like
Quiet surroundings: Several campgrounds emphasize tranquil environments away from crowds. At Pine Hill RV Park, one camper 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." They noted the campground is "set in a rural area surrounded by fields and pastures which makes for a peaceful setting."
Pool facilities: Swimming pools rank highly among visitor preferences. Robin Hill Campground features "a cute pool" according to one visitor, while another notes, "The pool was very nice and refreshing. I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end." At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, the campground features "a pool, hot tub, laundry, outdoor games a community fire pit etc."
Site spaciousness: Many campers prioritize adequate site size. At Stonybrook RV Resort, a visitor praised "Our site(F20) is level and beautiful— spacious and beautifully landscaped." Another noted, "The site was nice and level side to side. Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it." At Pine Hill, "campsites are nice, the park is clean, and convenient to I-78."
What you should know
Weather impacts: Wet conditions can affect camping experiences significantly. At Robin Hill Campground, some campers reported difficult site conditions after rain: "The H sites are somewhat swampy. It may have been quite the place back in its time, but it is in sole serious need of TLC." The site geography creates varied experiences across different sections of campgrounds.
Services vary by season: Many parks limit operations between spring and fall. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, camping is available "from May through October with full hookup capabilities." For winter travelers, cell service becomes particularly important. "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."
Price considerations: Campground rates vary significantly in the region. At Robin Hill, one visitor noted, "the corporation that owns this campground is very greedy. In addition to the daily rate, which is quite high for what you're getting, everything is extra." Pine Hill charges "$58/night for 50 amp full-hookup" while Pocono Point rates start at "$60 per night" for basic sites.
Tips for camping with families
Playground options: Not all campgrounds offer equivalent facilities for children. Robin Hill provides "a playground for children, and a catch and release lake for fishing." One visitor noted, "The playground was luckily right across from us up on the hill. They also have a Frisbee golf course on site."
Activity schedules: Some parks coordinate regular recreation programs. At Appalachian Camping Resort, "There were scheduled activities for kids and adults." Another visitor detailed their experience: "They had an art activity for the children, BINGO on Friday night, and a live band on Saturday night."
Space for outdoor play: Campgrounds offer varied terrain for recreation. At Robin Hill, "you will get you exercise walking to the pond, pool, capstone or basketball courts." Pocono Point provides a more secluded option where "If you want a really private area head up to their hilltop sites which are tent-only and have lots of space with a decent view."
Tips from RVers
Site placement strategy: For RVs requiring full hookups, advance planning is essential. At Stonybrook RV Resort, "This place is in super condition— everything works as it's supposed to and is clean and maintained." However, some parks present challenges: "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."
Level sites matter: Ground conditions impact comfort and setup time. At Pine Hill RV Park, "Roads and campsites are gravel and very easy for RVs of any size to navigate the roads and sites. The majority of their sites are pull-thrus catering to the many RVs that stop for a night or two."
Seasonal site selection: Many rv parks in Kunkletown, Pennsylvania see regular visitors who secure premium locations. One camper at Timothy Lake South noted, "When we arrived we were surprised at how many seasonal campsites there were. We came on a holiday weekend and thought it would be rowdy and loud. So far, nice and quiet."
