Best RV Parks & Resorts near Scranton, PA
Several RV parks are clustered within 30 miles of Scranton, catering to different campground preferences. Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South provides full hookups including 50-amp service on sites that accommodate larger rigs from May through October. Tri-State RV Park in Matamoras features big-rig friendly sites with sewer, water, and electric connections. "We had a site with power for our small trailer and it was fantastic. The bathrooms were kept very clean and they had 4 showers so we never had to wait," noted one camper. Keen Lake Resort Campground near Waymart offers RV sites with 50-amp service, operating from late April through mid-October, though some visitors mention the sites are closely spaced.
Driving access varies significantly between campgrounds in the region's rolling terrain. Multiple campgrounds near mountain areas require careful navigation, with some reviewers noting challenging turns when towing larger trailers. Cell service fluctuates throughout the area—Frances Slocum State Park Campground provides electric sites with 30-amp and 50-amp options but has limited cell coverage in some sections. Dump stations are available at most established campgrounds, though Clayton Park RV Escape and several others offer full-hookup sites with onsite sewer connections. Seasonal availability should be considered, as multiple RV parks close between mid-October and early May. One reviewer cautioned about Lackawanna State Park: "Two electric hookups would trip the 50 amp circuit breaker on any load about 30 amps, which means the hookups are old and unmaintained."
