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 parks operate within 30 miles of Tannersville, Pennsylvania, offering varied amenities for motorhome travelers. Thousand Trails Scotrun provides year-round RV camping with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections on sites that accommodate large vehicles. Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort features big rig-friendly spots but lacks hookups, making it suitable for self-contained units. "Sites are kinda close together but it was fairly quiet even though it was full," noted one Timothy Lake South visitor about the spacing between RV pads. Thousand Trails Timothy Lake North and South locations operate seasonally from May through October, with Timothy South offering more reliable hookup infrastructure and level sites according to reviews.
Access to these parks varies considerably, with mountain terrain creating navigation challenges for larger motorhomes. Cell service fluctuates dramatically throughout the region, with Timothy Lake properties having particularly poor reception. A traveler mentioned, "I was not able to get WiFi even though I paid for it. We had to park near the office to get it to work." Most parks maintain dump stations and trash service, though amenities like laundry facilities are limited. Many campgrounds accommodate pets with designated walking areas, but travelers should verify specific pet policies before arrival. Fall foliage season creates high demand, with weekends frequently booked months in advance, particularly for premium pull-through sites that eliminate backing requirements.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Great last min getaway
Booked the day before—even on the holiday weekend! Just 1.5 hours outside of NYC, site was a bit close to the neighbors (fire pit was very far back and basically in the neighbors’ campsite, but we put up a “privacy clothesline” and hung a tarp over it for a bit of extra coverage.
The staff was friendly and helpful, they said it was the busiest they’ve seen the campground all year (there were lots of large groups but everyone seemed to settle down by 9:30pm
Poison ivy was EVERYWHERE at our site so make sure to stick to the open areas and the paths. Lots of families around, we felt very safe Bathrooms were fine—it was my impression they’re usually cleaner but the high traffic of the weekend left a bit to be desired, (lots of families around=dirty diapers in the bathroom trash bin) but it’s camping! I’m not gonna argue w a flushing toilet!

What to do
Disc golf course access: Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort offers direct access to disc golf facilities on-site. "If you're into Disc golf this place has that too," notes one reviewer who appreciated the activity options beyond traditional camping.
Mountain biking adventures: Blue Mountain provides a unique opportunity for downhill mountain biking. "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 a camper who enjoyed the resort's adventure offerings.
Fishing opportunities: At Robin Hill Campground, visitors can enjoy catch-and-release fishing in the on-site pond. "There is a pond for fishing however we didn't have any luck. It had a lot of pond scum and there were a lot of duck families around," shares one visitor who tried their luck.
Winter activities: Some RV parks near Tannersville remain open year-round, allowing access to winter sports. "We visited in fall so we had the entire place to ourselves," noted one Blue Mountain camper, highlighting the potential for off-season solitude.
What campers like
Pool facilities: Stonybrook RV Resort maintains a heated pool that receives positive reviews. "There's a heated pool behind the office/store so it's not noisy for campers at their sites," explains one guest who appreciated the thoughtful layout.
Clean accommodations: Many visitors highlight bathroom cleanliness as a priority. At Robin Hill Campground, a guest noted, "The bathrooms are amazing for a campground, staff is very friendly and they truly go above and beyond."
Privacy options: Campers seeking quiet can find secluded spots at some parks. "We were able to find a site that was out of the way and felt like we were the only ones there. Nice trails leading out our door," shared a visitor at Timothy Lake North, describing their experience finding privacy.
Well-maintained sites: Level camping pads are highly valued. At Clayton Park RV Escape, reviewers consistently praise site quality, with one stating simply, "Facilities are excellent. Will return," reflecting satisfaction with the overall maintenance.
What you should know
Cell service challenges: Beyond the Timothy Lake properties mentioned in the existing description, other campgrounds also struggle with connectivity. At Thousand Trails Scotrun, cell service can be unpredictable depending on exact location and provider.
Seasonal closures: Many facilities operate limited schedules. "We came in at end of season, so pretty much everything seems closed. But, it's a beautiful campground and the part of PA is great too," reported a Thousand Trails Scotrun visitor who arrived in late October.
Site drainage issues: Heavy rainfall can affect ground conditions at some parks. At Robin Hill Campground, one camper noted, "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site!"
Quality variation between parks: Even parks under the same ownership can differ significantly. "This place was kinda rundown and in rough shape. Lots of cabins that are seasonal but have seen better days," reported one Timothy Lake North visitor contrasting with more positive experiences at Timothy Lake South.
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Cranberry Run Campground offers spaces for children to play. "The playground at the campground was small but left plenty of grassy space for our kids to play safely," notes a family visitor who appreciated the setup despite limitations.
Pool access timing: Most pools operate seasonally from Memorial Day through September. "The pool was very nice and refreshing. I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end," explained a Robin Hill visitor who enjoyed the family-friendly water features.
Age-appropriate activities: Different parks cater to varying age groups. "The playground was luckily right across from us up on the hill. They also have a Frisbee golf course on site," shared a camper at Robin Hill about amenities their children enjoyed.
Multi-generational camping: Some parks accommodate wide age ranges. "Overall our week camping here was very pleasant and all of us from ages 18 months to 76 years old say 'Cranberry Run Campground family approved!'" reported one multi-generational group.
Tips from RVers
Entrance challenges: Tri-State RV Park offers easy highway access but has steep entries. "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," reported one driver of a large rig.
Site selection strategy: Finding level spots requires planning. "The sites weren't anything glamorous but the hookups are great and easy to pull through," noted a Tri-State RV Park visitor, emphasizing function over aesthetics.
Water pressure variations: Some parks have unusually high pressure. "Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi," warned a Timothy Lake South visitor, suggesting RVers should bring pressure regulators.
Alternative providers: For RVers seeking reliable cellular connectivity, "Verizon is 25 down 10 up. Tmobile is unusable," at Timothy Lake South according to a recent visitor, providing practical information for those needing to stay connected.
