What to do
Trail hiking: 15 minutes from Cranberry Run Campground where campers can access the Delaware Water Gap area. "The Delaware Water Gap is about a 15min drive from the campground and a beautiful place to hike. We hiked the Red Dot trail on Mt. Tammany and it was breathtaking to see in the fall," notes reviewer Sarah L.
Fishing: Available at Robin Hill Campground which maintains a catch-and-release fishing lake on property. "Nice lake for fishing. About an hour from a motorbike riding park," mentions Luis B., while another camper notes the lake "had a lot of pond scum and there were a lot of duck families around."
Mountain biking: Seasonal activity at Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort where the winter ski area transforms into a biking destination. "If you choose adventure this is the place for you, 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 Lois.
What campers like
Spacious sites: Robin Hill Campground offers larger camping areas for groups. "I absolutely LOVED having everyone on the same site instead of having the divisions that come with getting multiple sites for a group," shares Sarah L. The campground has "pretty large" sites and appears to accommodate gatherings effectively.
Privacy: Seasonal quiet at Stonybrook RV Resort provides a peaceful environment. "We spent four nights at Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton, PA, for a quiet wedding anniversary getaway—and so glad we did," mentions Matt S., who appreciated that "the heated pool behind the office/store so it's not noisy for campers at their sites."
Natural setting: Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort offers a tranquil camping experience. "By far my favorite campground in PA. Staff was nice & showed us to our campground, hauled our firewood, and checked in regularly to make sure we didn't need anything. We visited in fall so we had the entire place to ourselves," shares Rosanna C.
What you should know
Seasonal operations: Many RV parks close during winter months. Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort operates year-round, a rare exception in the area. "We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow," notes Jamie S. from Stonybrook RV Resort.
Site quality varies widely between campgrounds: Tri-State RV Park offers basic accommodations without many amenities. "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," explains Brittany V., while Michael H. describes it as "just a parking lot with hookups."
Weather impacts: Campgrounds may become muddy after rainfall. Robin Hill Campground has had issues with drainage. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site!" warns Linda F. Another reviewer mentioned "the H sites are somewhat swampy."
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Available at multiple campgrounds with varying quality. "The playground at the campground was small but left plenty of grassy space for our kids to play safely," notes Ashley S. about Cranberry Run Campground. Robin Hill has "a playground for children, and a catch and release lake for fishing."
Pool availability: Most open seasonally from late May through early September. "The pool was very nice and refreshing. I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end," shares Jen R. about Robin Hill Campground. Stonybrook RV Resort also offers a heated pool that extends the swimming season.
Activity planning: Weekend programming at Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South and other campgrounds. "Campground was clean, staff was friendly, sites were decent. My kids explored the playground and found it sufficient," mentions Ashley O., though another reviewer notes that "Only real activities here for kids are pool and shuffleboard."
Tips from RVers
Cell service challenges: Inconsistent coverage across the region. Timothy Lake South has spotty reception depending on carrier. "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," reports Nick E., while another camper mentioned, "Verizon is 25 down 10 up. Tmobile is unusable."
Water pressure variations: Some RV parks have unusually high water pressure. Timothy Lake South is known for this characteristic. "Sites are long but narrow. Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi," warns Don C., making water pressure regulators essential equipment.
Entrance conditions: Some RV parks have challenging access roads. Stonybrook RV Resort can be difficult 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 Matt S.
