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!

Several RV resorts offer full hookup sites near Mount Bethel in northeastern Pennsylvania's Pocono region. Thousand Trails Scotrun provides year-round RV camping with electric, water, sewer hookups, and big-rig friendly access. Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort features spacious sites with fire rings and picnic tables in a wooded setting. "We stayed here for a week and everyone we met was super friendly," notes one camper about Pocono Vacation Park, which offers seasonal sites alongside numerous summer activities. Stonybrook RV Resort accommodates larger motorhomes with 50-amp service and includes both drive-in and boat-in access options for RV travelers exploring the Delaware Water Gap area.
Full hookup availability varies significantly by location and season throughout the region. Most parks around Mount Bethel operate from April through November, with limited winter camping options except at Scotrun. Cell service can be problematic at several locations, particularly those nestled in mountain valleys. One visitor to Timothy Lake South noted, "The cell service for most providers is practically non-existent." Dump stations are available at most parks, though Thousand Trails properties typically offer sewer connections at individual sites. Navigation to certain mountain campgrounds requires careful planning for larger rigs due to narrow access roads with tight turns. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard restrictions, and many parks maintain on-site stores with basic supplies and firewood for purchase.

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.

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.

Black Bear RV Park
Super clean and quiet
Past reviews has mentioned that the office seems to be closed often, while I found that to be true I had no reason to contact anyone. This is definitely one of the cleanest quiets site I’ve ever visited

Tohickon Family Campground
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!

Great last min getaway
Booked the day before—even on the holiday weekend! Just 1.5 hours outside of NYC, site was a bit close to the neighbors (fire pit was very far back and basically in the neighbors’ campsite, but we put up a “privacy clothesline” and hung a tarp over it for a bit of extra coverage.
The staff was friendly and helpful, they said it was the busiest they’ve seen the campground all year (there were lots of large groups but everyone seemed to settle down by 9:30pm
Poison ivy was EVERYWHERE at our site so make sure to stick to the open areas and the paths. Lots of families around, we felt very safe Bathrooms were fine—it was my impression they’re usually cleaner but the high traffic of the weekend left a bit to be desired, (lots of families around=dirty diapers in the bathroom trash bin) but it’s camping! I’m not gonna argue w a flushing toilet!

Hiking access: Cranberry Run Campground sits near Delaware Water Gap trails. "We were also right at the bottom of a trail that led straight up the mountain (Pocono) with beautiful sites and of course photo opportunities for my family and I. There's nothing like yoga on huge rocks you could fall off of to get your blood flowing," shares one visitor about their experience.
What campers like
Quiet weekday camping: Many campers appreciate the peaceful environment at Cranberry Run Campground during weekdays. "During the week, the campground was pretty quiet while we were here," notes one visitor, though they mention "a lot of permanent RVs in the RV area that look pretty broke down."
Clean facilities: Stonybrook RV Resort maintains well-kept amenities. "The laundry area and shower rooms are beautiful and clean," writes one reviewer, who adds "the place was meticulously clean and the permanent campers keep their sites so well. The pool was warm, clean and enjoyable."
Winter access: Year-round camping is available at several locations, including Tri-State RV Park. "Open during the winter. Easy on, easy off. Lots of pull through sites," confirms one visitor, who appreciated the "CLEAN bathrooms, showers, laundry" and noted it's "perfect for an overnight stop."
What you should know
Cell service limitations: Several campgrounds report connectivity issues. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, "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," shares one recent visitor.
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds close from November to April. Robin Hill Campground operates from "April 1 to November 1," with specific seasonal amenities. "We came in at end of season, so pretty much everything seems closed. But, it's a beautiful campground," notes a visitor to Thousand Trails Scotrun.
Site conditions: Robin Hill Campground has reported maintenance concerns. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site!" warns one camper, while another mentions "The H sites are somewhat swampy."

Group camping options: Look for campgrounds with group site options.

Tips from RVers
Entrance challenges: Stonybrook RV Resort presents arrival difficulties for larger rigs. "Just one thing— 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," cautions one RVer.
Water pressure monitoring: Timothy Lake South RV reports unusually high water pressure. "Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi," warns one camper at Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort, recommending pressure regulators for protection.
Site selection strategy: Many campgrounds feature varied site quality. "We were able to find a site that was out of the way and felt like we were the only ones there. Nice trails leading out our door," shares a visitor to Thousand Trails Timothy Lake North, suggesting researching site locations in advance.
