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!

RV parks near Lehigh Valley provide options for various types of recreational vehicles. Robin Hill Campground operates from April through November with full hookup sites including 50-amp electrical, water, and sewer connections. Pine Hill RV Park in Kutztown offers big-rig friendly spots with similar amenities and seasonal availability. "The sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site," noted one visitor regarding wet conditions at Robin Hill. Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton accommodates larger rigs with boat access available, and Blue Mountain RV Resort in the same area provides year-round access though with more limited hookup options.
The terrain throughout the region affects site conditions and layout at most parks. Several campgrounds feature sloping sites that may require leveling blocks, particularly after rainfall when drainage becomes an issue. According to one review, Village Scene Park offers "a hodge-podge of different living accommodations" with standard pricing at "$46/night; $274/week and $595/month," making it suitable for various stay durations. Most parks maintain seasonal operations with the majority closing between November and April, though a few remain open year-round. Dump stations, when available, typically operate during business hours with some charging additional fees. Pet policies vary by location, with most parks allowing leashed pets in designated areas but restricting them from certain facilities.

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.

Upscale Parking Paradise at This Home Fixer-Upper
Located just off US Route 1 in the upscale Princeton area, this spacious Lowe's serves up a surprisingly pleasant patch of pavement for weary road warriors looking to catch some shut-eye. Set back roughly 80 yards from the highway, this big blue home improvement retailer offers a generously sized parking lot with relatively manageable traffic, good maneuverability and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect from such a busy suburban retail corridor. The western and southern edges of the lot are particularly appealing for an overnight stay, and with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several other retailers nearby, convenience certainly isn't in short supply. Better yet, the store management was friendly and accommodating when we called ahead to arrange our overnight visit.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spacious, paved parking lot with plenty of room to maneuver larger rigs; (2) Convenient access to US Route 1 and nearby I-95; (3) Western and southern parking areas offer quieter spots away from the busiest customer traffic; (4) Excellent nearby conveniences, including Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several dining options; and (5) Friendly store management that welcomed our overnight stay, plus surprisingly good opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) Some daytime retail traffic and occasional road noise, although nothing terribly disruptive; (2) No RV hookups, dump station or dedicated overnight camping facilities; (3) Parking areas closest to the store can become crowded during business hours; (4) Limited greenery and little of the scenery you'd expect from a traditional campground; and (5) While the overnight experience was excellent, this is still a commercial parking lot rather than a destination for an extended stay.
Happy Overnighting!

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.

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.
Adam and Suzanne B.GuideBeacon Hill Camping
Great location
We stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.

Echo Valley Campground
Big sites with lots of trees
We only spent the night and didn't look at the amenities. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.

Simple, peaceful FHU
We stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.

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 Lehigh Valley
Camping options near Lehigh Valley range across forested hills and rolling farmland with elevations between 400-1200 feet. The region's humid continental climate brings hot summers and moderately cold winters, with most campgrounds closing from November through March. Sites throughout the area tend to be rocky with variable drainage depending on recent rainfall patterns.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Lake-In-Wood Campground offers a catch-and-release lake with convenient access. "Great fishing in the lake," notes one visitor who appreciated the peaceful setting among the pines.
Disc golf courses: Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort provides disc golf facilities on-site for active campers. "If you're into Disc golf this place has that too," mentions a reviewer who enjoyed the recreational options available.
Local festivals: Seasonal events often occur near campgrounds throughout summer months. "The weekend we were there they had a chicken dinner. It was actually very good," reports a Lake-In-Wood camper about special weekend programming.
Mountain biking trails: Several parks offer trail access for cyclists. "If you choose adventure this is the place for you, 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," notes a Blue Mountain Resort visitor.
What campers like
Heated pools: Spring Gulch Resort Campground maintains heated pool facilities that extend swimming season. "Heated spa/pool in upper area are a bonus. Lots of sports gear available for free to use within park," mentions a recent visitor.
Level concrete pads: Stonybrook RV Resort provides well-maintained concrete sites with patios. "The site was nice and level side to side. Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it," reports a camper who appreciated the site preparation.
Entertainment programming: Weekend entertainment keeps campers engaged during summer months. "They had an art activity for children, BINGO on Friday night, and a live band on Saturday night," notes a Robin Hill camper about organized activities.
Clean facilities: Many campers cite bathroom cleanliness as a major factor. "Shower/bathrooms are the best I've ever seen," states a Stonybrook visitor who was impressed with the maintenance standards.
What you should know
Variable reservation policies: Some rv parks in Lehigh Valley require substantial advance booking for peak periods. "We were frantically trying to find a place to stay for Memorial Day weekend. They had one site left that we were lucky enough to grab," reports a Stonybrook camper.
Ground conditions: Rocky soil makes tent stake installation difficult at many campgrounds. "We actually broke quite a few tent stakes just trying to get our footprint down," explains a Spring Gulch visitor about challenges with site setup.
Mixed-use parks: Several facilities combine camping with residential properties. Village Scene Park offers "a hodge-podge of different living accommodations" according to reviewers, with both short-term and permanent residents sharing common areas.
Limited winter options: Only a few rv campgrounds near Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania operate year-round. "We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow," reports a Stonybrook visitor who appreciated the off-season accessibility.
Tips for camping with families
Activity planning: Appalachian Camping Resort schedules regular family-oriented events. "The campground had numerous activities set up all throughout the day and there was something for everyone. I find that a lot of campground activities tend to be centered around small children and with my kids being 13 and 12, they're usually left out of the fun," shares a parent who found suitable programming for older children.
Playground access: Check playground conditions before booking for younger children. "They also have a Frisbee golf course on site. There is a pond for fishing however we didn't have any luck. The playground was luckily right across from us up on the hill," notes a Robin Hill visitor when describing family amenities.
Swimming options: Multiple swimming areas accommodate different age groups. "I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end," explains a parent about the pool configuration at Robin Hill Campground.
Farm experiences: Some campgrounds offer animal interactions for children. "Goats to pet and watch," mentions a Lake-In-Wood camper who enjoyed the small animal area with their family.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Avoid buddy sites when possible at larger facilities. "The buddy site was very narrow and since our buddy arrived first we had no choice but to park farther down on the site to avoid our awnings touching and that left us very uneven," cautions an Appalachian Camping Resort visitor.
Entry challenges: Sun Valley Campground has specific entry conditions to navigate. "Our particular site was a bear to park in but once situated we were very happy," reports one RVer who eventually found the site comfortable once properly positioned.
Seasonal site advantages: Several rv parks in Lehigh Valley offer seasonal options for regular visitors. "We have been seasonal camper for 4 years and love it. We had visited numerous campgrounds and found Sun Valley to be the atmosphere there beyond our expectations," shares a long-term camper.
Tree clearance: Check for overhead branches when selecting sites. "The roads were very tight and you really had to watch how you drove through because of the trees," warns a Lake-In-Wood visitor about navigation challenges for larger rigs.
