    The Pocono Mountain region surrounding Parryville, Pennsylvania features a mix of state park campgrounds and private camping resorts within a 20-mile radius. Hickory Run State Park Campground, located near White Haven, provides tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin accommodations with seasonal operation from April through October. Several family-oriented campgrounds like Jim Thorpe Camping Resort and Mauch Chunk Lake Park offer water recreation opportunities alongside traditional camping options. Most facilities in the area accommodate both tent and RV camping, with many also featuring cabin rentals and glamping options for those seeking more comfortable accommodations.

    Camping season in the Pocono region typically runs from early April through late October, with most campgrounds closing during winter months. Hickory Run State Park operates from the second Friday in April until the third Sunday in October, while private campgrounds like Jim Thorpe Camping Resort and Allentown KOA maintain similar seasonal schedules. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for summer weekends and holiday periods when facilities reach capacity. The terrain throughout the region features rocky soil and moderate elevation changes, which can affect site selection for tent campers. As one visitor noted about Hickory Run, "The tent camping area was right along the river, some sites with direct access, some you'd have to walk a little more to the larger access areas."

    Waterfront camping receives consistently high ratings from visitors to the area, with lakeside and riverside sites being the most sought-after options. Mauch Chunk Lake Park and Lizard Creek Campground provide direct water access for fishing and boating activities. Many campgrounds in the region offer amenities like electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, with shower facilities available at most established sites. Visitors frequently mention the natural beauty of the surrounding forests and mountains as highlights of their camping experience. A camper at Blue Rocks Family Campground reported, "This campground sits in the woods and rolling hills just below the Appalachian Trail. Nice huge campground. The RV sites are mainly situated at the bottom section, and the tent camping is pretty much on the upper portion of the site." Pet policies vary by location, with some campgrounds designating specific loops for campers with animals.

      Hickory Run State Park Campground

      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.

      100 Mile View Camping

      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.

      Round Valley State Park Campground

      Peaceful Wilderness Escape for Adventurous Families

      There's something wonderfully special about escaping into nature where the only sounds are rustling leaves, birds singing and the gentle movement of water along the shoreline. Nestled among the wooded hills surrounding the beautiful Round Valley Reservoir, this rustic SP campground offers families a chance to disconnect from everyday distractions and enjoy a little wilderness adventure together. Unlike traditional campgrounds, the campsites are accessible only by hiking or boating, so getting anywhere here requires some planning and a willingness to travel light. Once you've arrived, you'll find secluded, wooded campsites with picnic tables, fire rings and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Amenities are basic, with pit toilets and no showers, but the beautiful reservoir, scenic hiking trails, fishing and kayaking opportunities more than make up for the lack of modern conveniences. Our kids loved exploring the woods, spotting wildlife and gathering around a crackling campfire at night to share stories beneath the stars. For families comfortable with the hike, I'd recommend choosing one of the campsites along the reservoir shoreline for the lovely water views and peaceful surroundings. Just remember that swimming is limited to the park's designated beach area. Round Valley isn't your typical family campground, but for adventurous families who enjoy hiking, camping under the stars and making wonderful memories together, it's a beautiful place to experience nature at its finest!

      Ricketts Glen State Park Campground

      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!

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Hickory Run State Park Campground

      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 Parryville

    Camping near Parryville, Pennsylvania offers varied terrain with rocky soil and moderate elevation changes at around 500-800 feet above sea level. The region's limestone-rich ground creates unique drainage patterns that can affect tent setup, particularly after rainfall. Most campgrounds in the area operate primarily from April through October, though a few maintain limited winter availability.

    What to do

    Boulder field exploration: Visit the unusual boulder fields at Hickory Run State Park Campground, where visitors can traverse massive rock formations. "Boulders everywhere! Big ones, small ones, run (carefully) across them all! Beyond the Boulder field is a vast, scary, unknown," notes one camper.

    Trail access: Many campgrounds connect directly to regional hiking networks. As one visitor at Blue Rocks Family Campground explains, "It's right at the base of one of the most popular hiking trail, The Pinnacle. It's nestled in the woods and is very rustic. Really gives you that camping feel!"

    Water recreation: The region's lakes and streams support multiple water activities. A camper at Mauch Chunk Lake Park shares, "You can get sites right on the water that are nice size. If you go during the week, it's quite calm. You are in beautiful Jim Thorpe that has white water rafting in town, plus great restaurants and bars. I like that I can launch my paddle board from my sight and the water is so clean and clear."

    What campers like

    Clean facilities: Bathrooms and shower facilities vary widely between campgrounds. A visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort reports, "The laundry area and shower rooms are beautiful and clean. There is nothing to do in the immediate area, but we were there to use the bike trails and bop around Jim Thorpe…about 25 minutes away via pretty country roads."

    Wildlife sightings: The wooded settings provide opportunities to observe local fauna. One camper at Hickory Run State Park notes, "We took a drive on 2 afternoons on a stone road through the woods to see the Boulder Field. It was a beautiful drive. We were on the lookout for bear, but only saw 3 deer."

    Quiet weekday stays: Many campgrounds become busy on weekends but offer more solitude mid-week. A Mauch Chunk Lake Park visitor observed, "You can get sites right on the water that are nice size. If you go during the week, it's quite calm."

    What you should know

    Bear awareness: The Pocono region has a significant bear population requiring proper food storage. A Hickory Run camper mentions, "We were warned to be cautious about leaving food out as there have been some bear sightings. Not much of a playground. All in all a pretty Park."

    Site variations: Tent campers should prepare for potentially uneven ground. At Jim Thorpe Camping Resort, one visitor noted, "The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because our site wasn't level and it took hours to get it right. After that... we had the best time!! Tons of trails and creeks."

    Seasonal facilities: Some campground amenities aren't available year-round. A Stonybrook RV Resort visitor commented, "This place has never come up in any of my searches for a campground but my wife was frantically trying to find a place to stay for Memorial Day weekend. They had one site left that we were lucky enough to grab and I'm glad we did. The site was nice and level side to side."

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Check which campgrounds have dedicated children's areas. At Don Laine Campground, a visitor noted, "Nice hiking trails, horseback riding available at times, golf cart rentals. Heated pool, nice playground for kids."

    Scheduled activities: Some campgrounds organize regular events for children. A camper at Don Laine Campground shared, "We have been here in summer & fall and there are planned activities for both young and old every weekend they are open."

    Spacious sites: Family groups often need more room. At Blue Rocks Family Campground, one visitor explained, "Our friends were able to camp right aside of us in their tent and use our RV site for cooking and campfire. We really enjoy it at this campground and are looking forward to going back again."

    Tips from RVers

    Entrance challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult access points. A visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort noted, "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."

    Site leveling: Many campers mention bringing leveling equipment. At Jim Thorpe Camping Resort, a visitor explained, "We stayed in site 20. Easy to back in. Didn't need leveling blocks as our site was nice and level."

    Hookup options: Full-service sites are limited at some locations. A Stonybrook RV Resort camper shared, "We had a FHU 50 Amp Premium Back-in site (#F20). This campground makes a great home-base while hanging out in the Pocono Mountains."
