Tobyhanna cabins feature electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, while Hickory Run offers similar setups with additional access to nearby hiking trails. Most cabins include refrigerators, stoves, and basic kitchen facilities. Bathrooms with showers are typically located in central facilities rather than inside the cabins. "The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic. The interior features are just what you'd expect for getting away for the weekend."

Keen Lake Resort Campground provides more amenity-rich cabin rentals with options for families or couples. Most state park cabins require reservations well in advance, especially during peak summer months from late April through October. Pet policies vary by location, with some parks designating specific pet-friendly cabin areas. A visitor noted, "The cabins have electricity and running water. They are great if you want the outdoor experience while getting the option of a bed."
Most cabins include beds with vinyl-covered mattresses but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities typically include refrigerators and stoves, though cookware and utensils are not always provided. Campground stores at locations like Keen Lake Resort and Tobyhanna State Park sell firewood, ice, and basic supplies. Larger grocery stores require driving to nearby towns. Cabins with wood stoves provide heat during cooler months, with one camper reporting, "You need that wood stove to heat up the cabin. I went through two bundles of wood in one night, and could have used more in the morning."

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.

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.

Stay away... Unless you like 70 y/o men acting like high schoolers
This clothing-optional campground has a highly toxic, intrusive, and vindictive environment. During my stay, the seasonal permanent residents('perms') subjected me to intense harassment, inappropriate sexual advances, and severe social retaliation/rumor-spreading when those advances were rejected. The situation escalated to the point where an employee had to intervene for my safety. Furthermore, despite management allowing my photo to be taken in costume at a party, I was intentionally blocked from the community group where the photos were posted, leaving me unable to monitor how my image was being used. Avoid this place if you value your privacy, personal boundaries, and safety.

Cool Riverside Campground
I'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.

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!

Great off season camping
We camped here in our pop up for our Anniversary in November. We were impressed with the cleanliness and available amenities for the time of year we were camping in! Close proximity to DWG and PA AND NJ attractions.

Great cabins!
We booked a cabin at the last minute and were pleasantly surprised that the cabin had heat and electricity! It was very close to the awesome heated bathroom also! We were also able to catch a beautiful sunset! Great camp all around!

What to do
Hike to waterfalls: Hickory Run State Park offers 44 miles of trails ranging from easy to difficult, with the Hawk Falls and Shades of Death trails providing moderate hikes with scenic water views. "Both of these trails had a creek and waterfalls," notes a visitor at Hickory Run State Park Campground.
Kayak on multiple lakes: The region offers various bodies of water perfect for paddling. "My favorite site does [allow pets], plus I can launch my kayak right from there!" reports a camper at Pickerel Point Campground in Promised Land State Park. The lakes are accessible for both beginners and experienced paddlers.
Fish in stocked waters: Most parks in the area offer fishing opportunities with seasonal catch-and-release policies. "Catch and release only" is enforced at some lakes, according to a visitor at Secluded Acres. Park lakes are typically stocked with trout, bass, and panfish species.
What campers like
Lakefront access: Many campsites offer direct water views and access. "We had site 100 and amazing views of the water from our camper," shares a visitor at Promised Land State Park. Some sites even allow for launching kayaks directly from your campsite.
Clean facilities: Restrooms and showers at most parks receive regular maintenance. At Mount Pocono Campground, a visitor reported, "Cleanest campground bathouse I've ever used! Great hiking trail right from the site."
Wildlife sightings: The region supports diverse wildlife, including bears. "We were warned at check in that there have been a lot of bears in the area but never really thought that we would see one. As soon as we got to our site one came right up as we were setting up our tent," reports a camper at Tobyhanna State Park Campground. Bears are most active during early morning and evening hours.
What you should know
Bear safety protocols: Food storage regulations are strictly enforced at all parks. "Do not leave any food out be sure to lock up everything in car," advises a Tobyhanna visitor. Rangers recommend storing all scented items in vehicles rather than tents or cabin porches.
Variable water quality: Some parks have experienced water quality issues. At Ricketts Glen, a camper noted, "The water had been tested earlier in the season and unsafe levels of manganese were detected. All water spigots were shut off and covered but we were told it was safe to wash our dishes and brush our teeth."
Alcohol restrictions: Rules vary by property. At Ricketts Glen State Park Campground, "Alcohol is strictly forbidden– we were warned that if a ranger saw any alcohol outside of our vehicle, we would be cited." However, private campgrounds often allow alcohol consumption.
Tips for camping with families
Look for dedicated play areas: Family-friendly campgrounds offer various recreational options. "They have a huge swimming pool and a toddler's pool. There is an on-site store with everything you need to make your stay comfortable," notes a visitor at Mount Pocono Campground.
Consider activity schedules: Many campgrounds offer organized events. A guest at Keen Lake Resort Campground shared, "They have activity coordinators that make sure there is something to do for all ages every hour of the day!"
Select larger tent sites: Space requirements vary by campground. "Our site had kayak access and that was a real bonus. It is a spotless facility. Evan in August it was not crowded," reports a camper at Pickerel Point, highlighting the value of selecting sites with adequate room.
Tips from RVers
Check amperage availability: Electrical service varies between campgrounds. At Lackawanna State Park Campground, a visitor cautioned, "Two electric hookups would trip the 50 amp circuit breaker on any load about 30 amps, which means the hookups are old and unmaintained."
Consider site terrain: Many sites require leveling. A visitor to Ricketts Glen noted, "Our full hookup site was large with table and fire ring, and required some leveling. Not much shade in the full hookup loop, so was happy to have electricity for A/C."
Reserve early for lake views: Premium sites book quickly, especially during summer months. "We were in the outer loop far from the rest of the campground and they only had ports potties and hand sanitizer. I wish we had been on the inner loop for the bathrooms, but we had a huge tent site that fit 4 tents on it," shares a Ricketts Glen visitor.
