    Camp Taylor Campground

    A beautiful forested campground with plenty of wildlife and birds.

    Easy access from Rt 80 and located close to the Lakota Wolf Preserve. With tours leaving them campground twice a day on both Saturday and Sundays for the wolf preserve, I was glad there was camping so close. The camping selection of sites is excellent with Cabins, Glamping tents, primitive tent sites and of course RV sites. I choose to stay in one of the glamping tents and was pleasantly surprised at the space inside the tent even with a double bed and two other fold out couches to beds. Water is available at the site. A small lake for swimming and boating. And lots of trails linking you to the Delaware river water gap area.

    Pine Cradle Lake Family Campground

    RV/tent campground in a beautiful setting

    This is a gated campground that we stayed at 6/30/19-7/04/19. We are NOT an RV. We own a Napier tent that hooks to our truck so that we can sleep up in the bed. However, due to it being a holiday week, the tent sites were completely booked and they only have 4(which also have water& electric). The tent sites are located in the back of the campground behind the sports field within the trees. I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to see them but they have them pictured on their website. They let us book an RV site and it was rough setting up on a gravel RV site but we understood that we were not within a normal tent element and placed an extra tarp under the tent. The campground is located at the top of some beautiful and scenic driving through farmland in Pennsylvania and you will be 30 minutes from anything like shopping or small town amenities(we drove to Walmart after setting up to get our perishables since we drive up from Virginia). Our site had water and electric, was a drive through spot for a typical RV with a section to the side of the drive through for the fire pit and picnic table. We were located right next to the shower/bathrooms/playground and had some tree coverage and shade. A lot of the RVs in the campground are permanent sites and our neighbors never showed so we had a quiet buffer but it was not a noisy campground. It appeared that they cleaned the bathrooms twice daily and we were impressed with the cleanliness of the bathroom/showers. There were 4 in the building so we never had to wait. The staff were friendly and helpful. They had a store right next to the pool area that offered common items and RV'er might need with a small grocery area as well which included bundles of wood($6 honor system after hours) and Ice($1.78 per bag). We were allowed to run an account which we paid at the end of our stay. Our campsite was required to be paid at check in. The campground is 18 acres with gravel roads, a sports field, fishing, horse shoes, bocce ball, multiple playgrounds, a rec center with some games, claw machines etc. a splash pad and salt water pool. You will be doing a lot of walking or bring your bicycles like we did. They offer scheduled activities for holidays etc and various weekend activities. You can rent non electric boats and they offer catch& release fishing without a PA license in the lake. My son caught 2 sunfish :) They have guidelines for visitors and quiet hours(my cousin came to visit us in the evenings as she lived close by). We enjoyed camping here even if we were on an RV site. We booked site 211 which had the little bit of tree coverage and was located right next to the showers/bathrooms/playground with a quick walk to the lake for fishing. Most of the other available sites in the road ahead of us had no tree coverage but closer to the lake had more trees and shade. OR, just get an actual tent site :) but they are all the way at the back of the campground, furthest from the lake so I actually preferred our site.

    Camp Taylor Campground

    Great as long as you behave

    Having been here on a few occasions I will say it is def a beautiful spot in many regards. However, there are some downsides.

    Positives: sites are decent sized with fire pits and picnic tables. easy access to hiking, convenient to a beautiful vineyard, peaceful region, and the most amazing wolf preserve is right next to you.  

    Negative: limited access to firewood. sites are picked clean, quiet hours are strongly enforced- which can be a good thing depending upon who you are, the lake is anything but refreshing.

    Ricketts Glen State Park Campground

    Waterfalls!!

    The biggest draw to this state park (which no one in Pennsylvania I spoke with seemed to know about) is the 22 waterfalls! We saw 18 of them on a four-mile moderate hike, but if you want to see the additional four, you could make it a seven-mile hike. The trails are very well marked. 

    We stayed in the large loop, which is a peninsula on Lake Jean. Many of the sites have lake views. The bathhouse was clean but not adequate for 73 sites. The campground was about ¾ full and there was often a wait in the bathroom. Showers looked reasonable but I did not use them.

    There were many tent campers in this loop, which does not allow pets (the other, smaller loop does allow pets). There are no hookups at all in the park. The water had been tested earlier in the season and unsafe levels of manganese were detected. All water spigots were shut off and covered but we were told it was safe to wash our dishes and brush our teeth. However, the water for the dishwashing sink was turned off as well as the water in the restroom at the trailhead. Since we had a reservation, we received a phone call in advance of our stay letting us know about this.

    There are trails to the beach, but we woke to rain the next morning, so we did not explore this. 

    One trash/recycle area a distance away from the campsites which seems typical for PA state parks. Alcohol is strictly forbidden– we were warned that if a ranger saw any alcohol outside of our vehicle, we would be cited. Quiet hours are 9 pm– 8 am, which is more restrictive than other state parks, however, some did not observe these quiet hours (a guitar-playing singing camper thought he was talented, but I disagree!)

    Pioneer Campground

    Don't rent Cabin 1

    Looks cute from the outside but once you get in you are immediately disappointed. The cabin had a smell, a wrinkly floor, and was very dark. There is a lack of any shelf or cabinets and only minimal hooks to put your things. Even the TV was on the dining table and you can't use the remote from the bed either. We used the table benches and top of fireplace to place our stuff. We also had no AC. The signs on the wall said make sure you turn off the AC, but no AC. Our friends stayed in cabin 6 and it was so cute, bright, and had AC. Our other friend stayed in 2 and it was much better than ours as well. 3 was better too.

    In addition they would not honor a AAA discount due to already paying, what?!

    Knoebels Campground

    Clean, quiet, inexpensive, fun place to camp!

    Knoebels campground is situated next to Knoebels amusement park and offers sites for tent campers and RVs, as well as cabins.

    There is electricity at every site but not water. There are fill stations throughout the campgrounds. Most sites are level and shaded. There are nice sturdy wooden platforms for tent campers.

    The bath houses are clean and well maintained. There are outside sinks with mirrors, laundry facilities, shower stalls, and toilet stalls. Or if you prefer there are also traditional bathrooms with showers.

    Quiet hours are enforced between 10p and 8a.

    Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. Wood is available by the bucket near the check in building. Sites are inexpensive and are all a short walk, or free shuttle ride, to the park!.

    Tobyhanna State Park Campground

    Pretty but cramped

    The lake is gorgeous and there are nice hiking trails, but sites are very small and close together. Let’s are allowed in less than half of the campground, which means all the dogs are in a smaller area and barking at each other more than other places. The no-pet area was practically empty when we were there midweek but the pets-allowed area was much more crowded than we would have liked.

    Also rules and signage are wildly confusing, lots of things contradict each other. Cell service exists but not great for remote work.

    Awesome campground

    Really nice campground. Staff was friendly and helpful. It’s very secluded, no highway noise. Our spot backed up right to a creek and it was beautiful. Only giving 4 stars because the toilets had problems and the dump station didn’t have running water. Would definitely return regardless.


Guide to Wyoming

Northeastern Pennsylvania offers dense woodland camping options within the Pocono Mountains region at elevations ranging from 500 to 2,000 feet. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F and winter nights often dipping below freezing. Campgrounds near Wyoming, Pennsylvania provide access to glacial lakes, waterfalls, and hiking trails through mature hardwood forests where black bears are common wildlife residents.

What to do

Hike the Boulder Field: Visit Hickory Run State Park Campground to explore its unique geological formation. "Boulders everywhere! Big ones, small ones, run (carefully) across them all! Beyond the Boulder field is a vast, scary, unknown," shares Mike M. The boulder field trail offers a flat but unique surface for exploration.

Fish without a license: Keen Lake Resort Campground offers catch-and-release fishing that doesn't require a Pennsylvania fishing license. The lake provides clear water for fishing and paddling. "My kids caught multiple sunnies and even a small perch," noted Shannon C., who stayed at a lakeside site.

Winter recreation: Tobyhanna State Park Campground maintains winter activities when many other parks close. "Camped here growing up. Visited again as an adult. Great memories. Quiet and relaxing. Great place to do nothing," reports Shirley M. The park offers ice fishing and cross-country skiing trails during winter months.

Explore waterfalls: Many campers visit the area specifically for waterfall hiking, with trails ranging from easy to challenging. "Great hiking! There are various trails for all skill levels, and pets are welcome!" explains Lexi about Ricketts Glen State Park Campground.

What campers like

Level sites for comfortable setup: Many reviewers appreciate when campsites require minimal leveling. At Jim Thorpe Camping Resort, Angela noted, "Easy to back in. Didn't need leveling blocks as our site was nice and level. Stayed Thursday through Sunday. It was chilly in the mornings and evenings and warm and sunny during the day."

Clean bathroom facilities: Facility cleanliness ranks high in camper satisfaction. At Mount Pocono Campground, one camper mentioned, "Cleanest campground bathouse I've ever used! Great hiking trail right from the site. Be prepared for walking up and downhill - quite the unexpected workout."

Helpful staff: Campground employees make a significant difference in the camping experience. At Pioneer Campground, Gregory L. shared, "The owners are just amazingly nice people, always very helpful! The campground itself is beautiful, it's back a long lane from the main road so it is quiet and peaceful."

Privacy between sites: Campers appreciate when sites offer natural screening. At Lackawanna State Park Campground, Michael observed, "It has sites that are very wooded. Some are a little close to each other, but others offer plenty of space, including our site (52) on this trip. One of the biggest spots we have ever had."

What you should know

Bear activity is common: Many campgrounds in the Pocono region report regular bear sightings. At Tobyhanna State Park, Erik M. advised, "We were warned at check in that there have been a lot of bears in the area but never really thought that we would see one. As soon as we got to our site one came right up as we were setting up our tent. Do not leave any food out be sure to lock up everything in car."

Water quality varies: Some parks experience seasonal water issues. David at Lackawanna State Park noted, "Two electric hookups would trip the 50 amp circuit breaker on any load about 30 amps, which means the hookups are old and unmaintained."

Some sites flood in rain: Tent campers should check site drainage. Casey R. warned about Pioneer Campground, "The only downside we found is if you're camping in the tent site and it rains heavily a good portion of these sites flood and fill with water. Be sure to place your tent accordingly."

Yurt camping in Wyoming, Pennsylvania area: Yurts provide solid shelter while maintaining the camping experience. Several parks offer yurt camping near Wyoming, Pennsylvania, including Mauch Chunk Lake Park where sites have lake access. "You can get sites right on the water that are nice size. If you go during the week, it's quite calm," Lisa S. recommended.

Tips for camping with families

Look for organized activities: Some campgrounds offer structured recreation. "The camp store had good hours and is stocked to high heaven; you could come here with just the clothes on your back and buy everything you need for a very comfortable stay," Bridget D. shared about Hickory Run State Park.

Choose campgrounds with play areas: Family-friendly facilities make a difference. At Red Rock Mountain Campground, Kait D. found it to be a "Peaceful little campground five minutes from Ricketts Glen State Park. Accommodating and friendly hosts, clean bath house and firewood for sale on site."

Consider off-season visits: Camping outside peak summer months offers more space and quieter conditions. At Mount Pocono Campground, Rennie S. suggested, "Very clean and well-run. We were here during COVID restrictions and they were handling it well. We used the arcade, pool, bathouse and laundry."

Book lake access for multiple activities: Waterfront sites keep children engaged. "This is a very nice park with a beautiful lake. Clean bath houses and very friendly staff. They have activities for all ages. My kids love going here and I also enjoy coming knowing I can relax and not worry about them," Dawn T. said about Keen Lake Resort.

Tips from RVers

Reserve early for holiday weekends: Popular weekends fill up months in advance, especially for sites with full hookups. At Mauch Chunk Lake Park, Emma T. advised, "Our first time tent camping was here and it set a great tone. We set up the tent, kayaked on the lake, cooked up some dinner, watched a strawberry super moon rise over the lake."

Check site dimensions carefully: Some RV sites are narrower than advertised. At Jim Thorpe Camping Resort, Jonathan F. cautioned, "This place was pretty nice. The bath houses were really clean. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is cause the spots were a little tight."

Note hookup limitations: Many campgrounds have limited full-hookup options. "Camped in the fairly new ledges loop that are all full hookup sites. Nice large sites, beautiful area, friendly rangers," cheryl M. shared about Lackawanna State Park's upgraded camping area.

Consider alternative yurt camping near Wyoming, Pennsylvania: For RVers wanting a different experience, permanent yurts offer comfort without towing. The area's year-round yurts provide climate-controlled alternatives to traditional RV camping during shoulder seasons.
