Ricketts Glen State Park Campground
Camping here for many years and still love it here got it all camping trails water fall trail and lake.
11 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks surround Long Pond, Pennsylvania, offering varied accommodations for motorhome travelers. Thousand Trails Scotrun provides year-round RV camping with full hookups, including water, electric, and sewer connections. Just east in East Stroudsburg, Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South features big-rig friendly sites with 50 amp electrical service, operating from May through October. Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton accommodates larger motorhomes with spacious pull-through sites and full hookup options. The sites at these RV parks typically feature gravel pads with fire rings and picnic tables. As one RVer noted, "The sites are nicely wooded, very well spaced, fairly level with 50A service and water hookup. Although the water spigots were shared between sites, they provide hose caddies that should reach most RV hookups."
Cell service varies significantly throughout the Pocono Mountain region, with AT&T and Verizon coverage often spotty in more remote RV campgrounds. Most parks offer sanitary dump stations, though Pocono Point lacks this amenity. Navigation to certain RV parks requires careful planning, as mountain roads can present challenges for larger rigs. One traveler cautioned, "Coming in from the wrong road could lead you to a hairpin turn and steep hill." Seasonal availability differs between parks, with some operating year-round while others close from November through April. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most RV resorts in the area, with designated dog areas available at many locations. On-site camp stores typically stock RV essentials and propane refill services, eliminating the need for long supply runs during your stay.
"It's too bad it is mainly seasonal sites back there. This campground is called Robin HILL for a reason. You will get you exercise walking to the pond, pool, capstone or basketball courts."
"Although they do have sites for tents, this seems to be better suited for RVers and renting cabins. Many of the people we met during our stay are regulars."
"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."
"Wanted to find a close by place for for a night of Tent camping and stumbled across this winter time ski resort/ spring summer camping and adventure grounds."
"Staff was nice & showed us to our campground, hauled our firewood, and checked in regularly to make sure we didn’t need anything. Restrooms were really clean."
"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)."
"We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow."
"Open during the winter. Easy on, easy off. Lots of pull through sites. Next to grocery store. CLEAN bathrooms, showers, laundry. Super nice owners. Perfect for an overnight stop."
"This place is unique by location alone! We stopped for two nights on our way to CT. They have an onsite buffet with live entertainment if your timing is right."
"Pull through spots a a bit tight together but at least they have some. Cell service is awful for AT&T and our T-Mobile gateway."
"Well kept, wooded sites on a mountain. No lake in site. Standard amenities, like pool, hot tub, laundry, outdoor games a community fire pit etc.. Small store as well. 5 minutes to town."
"The newly upgraded camp infrastructure elevated the stay, providing amenities for comfort and entertainment."
"We really enjoyed our stay at Mountain Top. We had to come to the area kind of last minute, and they were very accommodating!"

Camping here for many years and still love it here got it all camping trails water fall trail and lake.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!

Mountain biking adventures: At Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort, campers can ride ski lifts to the mountain summit then bike down designated trails. "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 visitor who enjoyed the mountain biking options.
Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer pond or lake fishing access with catch-and-release policies. "There is a pond for fishing however we didn't have any luck. It had a lot of pond scum and there were a lot of duck families around," reports a camper at Robin Hill Campground about their fishing experience.
Spacious RV sites: Many campers appreciate the roomier sites available at certain campgrounds. At Stonybrook RV Resort, "The site was nice and level side to side. Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it. Same with their patio set up around the store," according to a satisfied guest.
