Best RV Parks & Resorts near Shickshinny, PA

Not cheap but we’ll within area norms. This camp has many long term campers that are friendly and helpful and some have children with them. Some full-time rigs are weekend campers. Some weekend events are planned. Most sites have full hookups with 50 amp electric only so if needed have an adapter (available at the small camp store. We had an unplanned extension on our visit that included a weekend where a group was scheduled and the park was booked including our site. The friendly staff worked to ensure a temporary site for us for the weekend.

The worst Thousand Trails campground. Check in not till 3pm, office closed at 4. No cell service to call anyone. No wifi, now what. Campground almost empty and they pack you all in one area.

Great location to everything in the poconos. Mostly long term residents. Sites are dirt/grass and are not level, but they are long which makes up for the front to back level issue. Lots of weekenders and vacationers.

This is a no-frills RV Park. The campsites are nice, the park is clean, and convenient to I-78. It is set in a rural area surrounded by fields and pastures which makes for a peaceful setting. Roads and campsites are gravel and very easy for RVs of any size to navigate the roads and sites. The majority of their sites are pull-thrus catering to the many RVs that stop for a night or two. 

Our site was level and nicely graded. We didn’t have any trouble getting in and out and all the hook-ups were well-placed and worked well (including the cable). While there are some nice large pine trees, they were trimmed and not an issue driving through the park or at our site. The only problem with the trees was the pine sap everywhere that we stuck to our shoes and we tracked everywhere. Amenities include an older style playground, horseshoe pits, manicure golf, and volleyball court. The store/office is pretty well stocked with an array of items and an ice cream parlor makes pizza (which was very popular as many people talked about it). The park also has rental cabins, laundry and restrooms. 

The only real downside of this park was the price (58/night for 50 amp full-hookup) and a bit of road noise from the interstate and the wifi was really poor. We stayed at this park because we wanted to eat at a nearby restaurant called Bolete(which is one of our all-time favorite restaurants) and this was the closest campground. Overall, we really liked how clean the park was. The sites were nice, albeit, pretty close to each other. For a one or two-night stay, this park is nice but I wouldn’t call it a destination park.

Clean and friendly. We were long term stay. Calvin was great and the yearly campers were fun and enjoyable.

They have full hook up and an amusement park down the street. Sweet

A lot of old campers and other stuff at entrance of campground. Full hook ups, large pull through spots but no trees. Full timers are in tree line. Have to pay for WiFi.

We stayed at Appalachian to visit a friend who has a seasonal site. Our site was full hook up. It was a nice size and was in a good location - near the ponds, pool, office, and bathhouse - but was still quiet! There were scheduled activities for kids and adults. The majority of seasonal sites we're clean and we'll maintained. Campers were friendly. A plus is that this campground is super easy to access from a major highway and once inside you forget about that.

Lake glory has a beautiful campground. The sites are large, you have a middle of nowhere feel, full hook ups are a nice addition and the nice little lake is an added bonus! I also want to mention that the camp store is pretty impressive as well. This was our first trip here and I promise it will not be our last!

This place is always great to come back to. Spaces are, clean well maintained, and nice sized. Nothing too big not too small. Bathhouse is always clean. Pool just opened up and many enjoyed it. Karaoke, ceramics, tie dye, etc…all part of the campground. Some sites have full hook up, others do not offer sewer, but there is a pump out station.

Stayed here one night ($60 per night). Sites are HUGE and each one has full hook up. They have the trendy teepee rentals and clamping tents.

They also have stationary RVs on site that you can stay in, those are about $120 per night.

Good location and easy to get to from the PA turnpike NE extension 476. Also a good location to get to all the state parks nearby like Beltzville and Lehigh Gorge. The creek actually runs right from Beltzville dam.

They have a huge area and accommodations to do events and weddings, although we didn’t see anything like that on our stay.

Minus one star because you can’t book online!

Very well maintained campground very close to Knoebels. This was the last weekend they were open. Kind of upset you do not get to choose your site. We would have preferred a site near the giant open field that backs up to the road, whereas people that were actually put there preferred the site we had instead. It is kind of noisy due to the traffic on the road but that would not have bothered us. Sites were pretty close to each other. You'll get to know your neighbors. Acorns fell off the trees and hit the camper all day and night. Playground is a bit too small, but the fishing pond is pretty. Most of the nicer "waterfront" sites are reserved for their seasonals. We weren't looking too much for an amenity filled campground but preferred a full hook up campground close to Knoebels. We will most likely stay here again next year. We camped at J & D Campgrounds in a Travel Trailer.

When it is brutally hot, this Campground is always cool. Large shaded sites that you don’t feel like your right on top of the next camper. Well maintained facility. Nice camp store, pool and activity areas. I would highly recommend this Campground except for the price. Pricing exceeds most campgrounds in the area that of full hook ups. I assume that others think the same because they weren’t close to being full over a holiday. We would camp here more often if it was more affordable.

The good: If you’re looking for a place to crash with your camper for the weekend this is the spot for you. We basically needed a place to stay in the Pocono’s for the weekend while we had various plans. Many full hook up sites, shady areas, and you can get set up for a weekend for less than $100. (Discount for cash sale) They do have a pool.

However, the amenities are few and far between for children. Lots of city folk flock here for the weekend- so keep that in the back of your mind. The driveway is a little hairy- steep with crushed stone on top of pavement. Which led to some tire slippage on the way up with our setup.

The people were very friendly.

Little Mexico is a nice campground with lots of activities in the summer, situated on Penn’s Creek about 15 minutes from Lewisburg, PA. We camped there twice this summer and had enjoyable visits. The road leading to the campground is narrow and winding, but we didn’t experience any trouble. Check in was a breeze as all the paperwork and payment were taken care of prior to arrival and all we needed to do was pick up our gate pass, map and head to the site. The employees in the front office are amazing and some of the friendliest you will meet. The other employees we interacted with during our stays were equally as friendly and helpful! 

Overall the sites are good sized, level and the majority have full hook-ups. The water pressure is good, electric stable, and good cable TV connections. There is no internet at the sites and only a moderate cell phone signal. Most of the transient sites are right next to each other with little barriers between. Tubs of wood can be delivered to the site and this good quality firewood! For$10 a load, stock up because it burns well with little obnoxious smoke. 

There are various activities each weekend during the summer, a huge pool, playground, mini-golf, and of course Penn’s Creek to float. The only negative would be some of the seasonal sites do not feel the quiet hour times apply to them. Overall, Little Mexico is a nice campground in a beautiful location, with great people operating it!

This RV park was nice. They are expanding and upgrading sites. They do have a pool, but it’s not open yet. Quiet time was no problem. Everyone was respectful and nice. Spots are not small, but they’re not huge either.

The highlight of this campground is it's close location to Knoebels with full hook up campsites and free shuttle to/from the park. Some sites are better than others- The first time we stayed we were near the bath houses- which actually ended up being a great location. Very large, open site and quiet! The second time, we were in a more wooded section by a little stream. I liked that it was so wooded, however, it was also significantly smaller. This last weekend we stayed near the lake, just in front of the tent sites. The site was large with a few trees and a great location at the very end of a road. However, the tent campers behind us were cutting through our campsite regularly. Not sure if this is always the case, or just the people who happened to be there this weekend. Either way, the whole point of staying there is to be in the park all day anyway. I do have to say I love the bath houses here. They are each their own individual rooms split into shower/changing room. I like the privacy and it made it much easier when my daughter was small.

Don Laine campground is right up the road from where we used to live and our temporary home now whenever we are back in the area to visit family & friends! This campground has everything you could possibly want & more whether you are here for a night or a month! We have been here in summer & fall and there are planned activities for both young and old every weekend they are open. They have basic to full hookup up campsites that are spacious with beautiful views of the mountains and surrounding countryside! They also have a swimming pool and very well stocked camp store so if you forgot something they probably have it in the store. They also have an on site restaurant that is open if you don't feel like cooking at your campsite. Oh and don't forget to watch for the rabbits and deer that appear every evening to entertain you! Packed on the weekends but quiet during the week but I highly recommend making your reservation early because this is a great place to stay!!

I enjoyed my time there, tho it felt like a parking lot with everything close to each other. Didn’t have privacy camping but they have things to offer. I am more of a person who like to be isolated, I come from the city to be completely away from everyone and this RV park wasn’t for me since I had people right next to me.

Tent and RV sites available. Largely seasonal campers. An unsupervised pool, laundry facility, shower rooms, firewood, propane and a playground are available. On weekends there are BINGO games, bands, karaoke and religious services held in the pavilion. All sites are shaded, but pretty tightly placed. Full hookups are available on most sites. No worries of flooding!

The reason we chose this campground was to visit relatives who lived nearby. Otherwise, we would not have come here and would not stay here again unless we came to visit relatives again. The campground is pretty dumpy and filled with seasonals that have some very unkept sites. I think we were the only transients in the park by the way the “locals” sitting outside the office looked at us when we pulled in. 

The nightly price for our 50 amp full hook-up site with cable was $52. Which we thought was a pretty high price for such a dumpy campground. The water spigot was located behind our coach and on the passenger side so make sure you have a fairly long hose if you want water. We ran off our fresh water tank instead of getting out 100 feet of hose. Our fire pit was filled with aluminum cans and other garbage that someone threw in their hot fire. Guess they didn’t know that cans and bottles don’t burn like wood does. Hate that people use firepits as trash cans and obviously there was no “camp host” to clean it out. The best thing about our site was that we were on the end of the row and we had a big grassy yard which our dog loved. 

The gravel roads were very dusty and people speeding made the situation worse. Playground consisted of a swing set and teeter-totter. Not that those classics are bad but if you are looking for that playground with climbing wall and twisty slide, you’re out. The “lake” is really small and there is a “swim beach” but the water was pretty stagnant and I really didn’t even want my dog swimming in there. There are some tent sites at the back of the campground that looked like people were living there.  

Overall, this park has a really unkept feel. The office and maintenance buildings were pretty run down with junk everywhere. While the grass was mowed in spots, they had not weed whacked around rocks, trees, light posts, etc. for a long time and it looked really bad.
