8 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks provide full hookup access throughout the Pocono Mountain region. Tri-State RV Park in Matamoras offers water, electric (50-amp), and sewer hookups on level sites suitable for larger rigs. Mountain Top RV Park maintains full hookup sites with 50-amp service, while Thousand Trails Scotrun features big rig friendly sites with electric and water connections. "The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed," noted one camper about Colonial Woods, highlighting the importance of checking access routes before arrival with larger vehicles. Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South and Timothy Lake North both accommodate larger motorhomes with pull-through sites, though availability becomes limited during peak summer months from May through October.
Navigation through the mountainous terrain requires planning, particularly for longer motorhomes and fifth wheels. Several parks offer seasonal operation, with Timothy Lake locations closing between November and April. Dump stations are available at most parks, though some smaller facilities may only offer communal dumping areas rather than individual sewer hookups. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with multiple reviews noting spotty coverage at Panther Lake where "WiFi only around office and bad cell service with Verizon." Pet-friendly policies exist at nearly all RV parks in the area, though some maintain designated pet sections or restrict certain breeds. Winter camping options diminish significantly, with Blue Mountain RV being one of the few year-round operations accommodating large motorhomes.
"Open during the winter. Easy on, easy off. Lots of pull through sites. Next to grocery store. CLEAN bathrooms, showers, laundry. Super nice owners. Perfect for an overnight stop."
"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."
"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."
"The newly upgraded camp infrastructure elevated the stay, providing amenities for comfort and entertainment."
"We really enjoyed our stay at Mountain Top. We had to come to the area kind of last minute, and they were very accommodating!"
from $89 / night
"Pull through spots a a bit tight together but at least they have some. Cell service is awful for AT&T and our T-Mobile gateway."
"Well kept, wooded sites on a mountain. No lake in site. Standard amenities, like pool, hot tub, laundry, outdoor games a community fire pit etc.. Small store as well. 5 minutes to town."
"Wanted to find a close by place for for a night of Tent camping and stumbled across this winter time ski resort/ spring summer camping and adventure grounds."
"Staff was nice & showed us to our campground, hauled our firewood, and checked in regularly to make sure we didn’t need anything. Restrooms were really clean."
"We spent four nights at Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton, PA, for a quiet wedding anniversary getaway— and so glad we did. We paid$150 per night total for a FHU 50 Amp Premium Back-in site (#F20)."
"We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow."
"Lots of seasonals and lots of cabins, many RV sites I think all with full hookups. A bit pricey. And also no garbage anywhere near the RV sites!"
"Weekend was busy as usual but during the week it seems to be seasonal that stay. A bit out here in the middle of nowhere, 15-20 minutes from any town. Make sure you have what you need!"
"Cranberry Run is a private campground run by a small family. The campground is in the woods and offers a variety of site sizes and options."
"The hike in spot is about 5 minutes from the parking spot. Very secluded, price isn't that bad and the staff is friendly."
from $44 - $72 / night
TravelerMike grandson and I had a fun time he enjoyed the little beach and especially the playground. The staff in the office were very nice. Bathrooms were clean but can be updates.
ScoutWhat 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!
LegendThis 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.
GuideThis 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.
GuideStayed 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.
ScoutNice campground, bathrooms are clean but dated, first come first serve for the sites.
RangerI'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.
ScoutPast 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
RangerWe 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.

Hiking trails: Access points near Stonybrook RV Resort provide scenic routes through wooded terrain. "Beyond the pool there wasn't much to do. Although, this might be due to the fact we visited during the week instead of the weekend where it seems they have a lot of events," notes one camper who visited in September.
Mountain biking: Downhill adventures at Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort offer unique terrain challenges. "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. You can also Zip line or swing through the trees if you would rather," according to a reviewer who enjoyed the outdoor offerings.
Wildlife viewing: Year-round opportunities with best sightings during dawn and dusk. "We had a FHU 30/50 amp. The gem is the beautiful grounds, river, and parklike setting. Lots of wildlife around," mentions a visitor to Tri-State RV Park, highlighting the natural surroundings available even at developed campgrounds.
Seasonal variety: Fall colors transform the landscape from September through mid-October. "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," shared a camper who visited Thousand Trails Scotrun during autumn.
Pool facilities: Summer relief from June through August when temperatures peak. "Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it. Same with their patio set up around the store," notes a Memorial Day weekend visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort.
Winter camping options: Year-round access with limited facilities during colder months. "Open during the winter. Easy on, easy off. Lots of pull through sites. CLEAN bathrooms, showers, laundry. Super nice owners. Perfect for an overnight stop," explains a winter traveler at Tri-State RV Park.
Cell service limitations: Coverage varies dramatically between providers and locations. "Sites are long but narrow. Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi. Cell service is ok. Verizon is 25 down 10 up. Tmobile is unusable," reports a camper at Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South.
Site selection challenges: First-come system at some parks requires strategic timing. "This is a first-come, first-serve park in the Thousand Trails system so we had to drive around looking for a spot. The check-in process alerted us to the sites that had issues such as no water or cable(there were 5 or 6 of them)," shared a visitor who appreciated the transparency about site limitations.
Limited off-season amenities: Facility closures occur primarily between November and April. "We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow," notes a camper describing winter conditions at Stonybrook RV Resort.

Animal interactions: Farm experiences available at select locations. "The farm has goats, a donkey, and a pony within the campground. Very cool," explains a camper who stayed at Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort, offering a unique experience for children.
Weekend activities: Scheduled events primarily run Friday through Sunday. "Plenty to occupy the kids. Playground, hayride, animals to feed (goats, chickens, donkey and pony). There were some organized activities which was nice, not as much as a Jellystone Park," reports a family who visited Pleasant Acres in October.
Navigation challenges: Tight access roads require careful maneuvering for larger rigs. "No issues navigating my 32' coach through the roads. There were a number of spots that could have easily fit our rig(although a few would have been too tight)," shares a camper about maneuvering through Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South.
Site leveling: Bring adequate blocks as terrain varies significantly. "Very very level site. But beyond the pool there wasn't much to do," notes a reviewer at Stonybrook RV Resort, highlighting that level sites are available despite the mountainous terrain.
Winter preparation: Year-round facilities have limited availability. "We recently had the pleasure of staying at Mountain Top RV Park and were impressed by the exceptional experience and service provided by the owners.
