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.

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.

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 Long Pond
The Long Pond region of Pennsylvania offers camping options within the Pocono Mountains region at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,900 feet. The area experiences seasonal temperature variations with summer highs averaging 78°F and winter lows around 20°F. Several RV campgrounds near Long Pond provide access to the surrounding state parks, lakes, and hiking trails with varying levels of amenities.
What to do
Hiking nearby trails: The Appalachian Trail runs through the region near Pocono Point, making it accessible for day hikes. "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 one camper who explored the area.
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.
What campers like
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.
Seasonal beauty: Fall foliage viewing draws many visitors to the region's campgrounds. At Thousand Trails Scotrun, one camper noted, "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."
Clean facilities: Bathroom and shower cleanliness varies significantly between rv campgrounds in Long Pond, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. A guest at Robin Hill Campground commented, "Bathrooms are amazing for a campground, staff is very friendly and they truly go above and beyond."
What you should know
Seasonal availability: Operating seasons vary widely among RV campgrounds near Long Pond, Pennsylvania. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, the season runs from May 1st to October 31st, though some nearby campgrounds remain open year-round.
Site selection considerations: Pull-through site availability can be limited at certain campgrounds. "Sites are nicely wooded, very well spaced, fairly level with 50A service and water hookup," explains a camper about their experience at a local campground.
Weather impacts: Heavy rainfall can affect site conditions and access at some campgrounds. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site!" warns a camper who stayed at Robin Hill Campground during wet conditions.
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Several campgrounds offer play areas for children of different ages. Robin Hill Campground provides "a playground for children, and a catch and release lake for fishing. It is rather spread out and a lot of the RVers we met had a golf cart that they brought with them."
Activity planning: Organized events vary by season and campground. "They had an art activity for the children, BINGO on Friday night, and a live band on Saturday night," shares a family who stayed at Robin Hill Campground.
Swimming options: Pool availability is important for families during summer months. A visitor at Clayton Park RV Escape mentions the "Pool boats, hike, relax" options that make it an "Excellent family quiet area."
Tips from RVers
Navigation challenges: Mountain roads require careful planning for larger rigs. A camper at Mountain Top RV Park warns, "If you're booking, it may be best to book on the upper levels because the lower area where we were did flood pretty bad a couple times when there was a lot of rain."
Connectivity issues: Cell service and WiFi access vary significantly throughout the region. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, a camper reports, "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."
Electrical considerations: Some campgrounds offer better power options than others. At Stonybrook RV Resort, a visitor found "this RV park was nice. They are expanding and upgrading sites. They do have a pool, but it's not open yet."
