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 campgrounds near Tafton offer full hookup options for various rig sizes, including 30-amp and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections. Tri-State RV Park in Matamoras features big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections. Thousand Trails Timothy Lake North and South campgrounds in East Stroudsburg operate seasonally from May through October, offering full hookup sites with 50-amp service. Clayton Park RV Escape accommodates larger rigs with spacious pull-through sites and complete hookups. Mountain Vista Campground provides gravel sites with ample room between neighbors. "Beautiful Campground. Clean. Gravel sites. Fire ring and picnic table. All sites have ample room. Lots of pull through for bigger rigs."
Navigating mountain roads to reach some parks requires careful planning, particularly for longer rigs approaching Scotrun RV Resort. Cell service varies significantly across the region, with several reviews noting spotty coverage at Panther Lake and Mountain Top RV Park. Most campgrounds maintain dump stations, though Timothy Lake South experiences long lines during peak checkout times. Many parks close for winter, typically operating from May through mid-October, with Scotrun RV Resort being one of the few year-round RV camping options in the area — a practical choice for campers planning off-season trips. Pet-friendly sites are available at most locations, though specific loops or areas may be designated for travelers with animals. Electrical service ranges from 30-amp to 50-amp, with some older parks experiencing occasional circuit breaker issues under heavy loads.

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.

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.

Car camping
Stayed October 14 without reservations because website showed lots of availability. Office was closed (M-F 8-4) so submitted honor system envelope with cash and stayed at Site 041 on Carpenter loop. Shower building was a short walk and was spacious enough. Water temp didn’t quite reach hot but was warm enough.
Electric kept on tripping breaker.

Nice but dated
Nice campground, bathrooms are clean but dated, first come first serve for the sites.

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
Kathy L.RangerHickory 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!

Little Pond Campground
Nice quiet lil campground
We went the 2nd week of October and seems like we had just missed the foliage peak but it was still beautiful.
Everyone minded their business and most sites were 2-4 people, showers were clean and warm but the kind where you gotta push the button every 30 seconds. Toilets were clean and running smoothly (we were in the southernmost loop, closest to the camp office)
No cellphone reception but we could get satellite signal to text our loved ones that we were alive and well!
We loved the hiking and especially kayaking on the pond
Guide to Tafton
The Pocono Mountain region surrounding Tafton, Pennsylvania sits at elevations ranging from 1,300 to 1,800 feet, creating distinct seasonal camping conditions with crisp fall temperatures dropping into the 40s overnight even during September. The Delaware River forms the eastern boundary of the camping region, offering water recreation opportunities that complement the area's densely wooded campgrounds. Cellular reception varies dramatically across the terrain due to the mountainous topography.
What to do
Delaware River access: At Soaring Eagle Campground and the Inn at Kellam's Bridge, campers can enjoy direct river activities. "Great river based location (Delaware River)... sites are huge, plenty of room for 2+ family campers," notes Hans M. The campground provides canoe, kayak and tube rentals for river exploration.
Mountain biking adventures: Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort offers unique biking opportunities. "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. The resort also features zip lining and tree-based adventure courses during warmer months.
Hiking trails: Promised Land State Park's Lower Lake Campground provides access to multiple trail systems. "Hiked 2 short easy trails (Little Falls and the Conservation Nature Loop- which we drove to). Absolutely beautiful!" reports Angie G. The park maintains well-marked trails suitable for beginner to intermediate hikers.
What campers like
Extra-large campsites: Many campers appreciate the spacious sites at Soaring Eagle Campground. "The sites are larger than most campgrounds and well spaced out. I have been there on busy holiday weekends where it was full but still peaceful and private," says Nichole P.
Clean facilities: Lower Lake Campground Beechwood Area receives consistent praise for maintenance. "Bathrooms were clean and so was the site. Sites were a good size and not on top of each other," notes Siobhan D. Multiple reviews mention hot showers and well-maintained restrooms.
Off-season tranquility: Fall and spring camping offers significantly different experiences. "We visited in fall so we had the entire place to ourselves," writes Rosanna C. about Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort. Similarly, at Lower Lake Campground, spring camping is described as "Not crowded this time of year, serene, and perfect weather."
What you should know
Limited cell service: Mobile connectivity is problematic throughout the region. At Mountain Top RV Park, one camper reports: "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."
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds close during winter months. Timothy Lake South operates from "May 1 to October 31," while Soaring Eagle Campground runs "May 1 to Columbus Day." Plan accordingly as few options exist from November through April.
Supply limitations: Many campgrounds have minimal on-site shopping. For Lower Lake Campground, one camper advises: "Firewood was available in the area. But not much for stores so pack everything in before." State parks typically don't sell firewood on-site.
Flooding concerns: Some lower elevation sites experience drainage issues. At Mountain Top RV Park: "It may be best to book on the upper levels because the lower area where we were did flood pretty bad a couple times when there was a lot of rain."
Tips for camping with families
Activity centers: Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South offers family-friendly amenities. "My kids explored the playground and found it sufficient," reports Ashley O., though another notes the campground focuses more on basics than elaborate entertainment options.
Quiet areas: When selecting campgrounds, consider noise levels. Clayton Park RV Escape provides "Excellent family quiet area. Pool boats, hike, relax," according to David R. This makes it suitable for families with younger children needing consistent sleep schedules.
Buffer zones: Look for campgrounds with space between sites when traveling with children. At Lower Lake Campground, "RV pads were spaced out perfectly and we all had our own picnic table and fire pit," says Maze M., noting that "you could only ever hear the wildlife" despite the campground being relatively full.
Tips from RVers
Highway noise considerations: RV camping near Tafton often means proximity to highways. At Tri-State RV Park, multiple reviewers mention road noise: "Located just off the highway so lots of vehicle noise 24/7. Sites are on a gravel lot," warns Michael H., while another notes it's "right off the freeway and you can hear it."
Electric service realities: While many campgrounds advertise 50-amp service, availability varies. "Kind of a pain to not be able to use the booster for all our devices in the rig," reports Mary H. about connectivity issues at Timothy Lake South. Another camper notes "The best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi" - suggesting water pressure regulators are essential equipment.
Site selection strategy: For RV camping in the Poconos, many parks use first-come, first-served systems. "First of all you have to find your own site as there are no assigned sites available. This had us pulling our 33ft camper around the whole campground until we came across our site," explains Ray L. about Timothy Lake North. Arriving early on check-in day improves site options significantly.
