Camping near Catasauqua, Pennsylvania
Catasauqua is a small borough in Lehigh County, sitting along the Lehigh River just north of Allentown in the Lehigh Valley. The borough had a population of 6,518 at the 2020 census and is a suburb of Allentown in the Lehigh Valley metropolitan area. Lehigh Valley International Airport is minutes away, and Interstates 78 and 476 put most regional campgrounds within a one-hour drive.
RV renters use Catasauqua as a base for two very different trips: family-friendly private parks close to town, and state-park lands in the Poconos and along the Lehigh Gorge. Nearby private options include Moyers Lake and Campground, Evergreen Lake Campground, Quaker Woods Campground, Don Laine Campground, and Allentown KOA Journey. These parks generally offer full or partial hookups, cabins, pools, and other amenities aimed at families with kids.
For state-run camping, the closest destination parks are north and west of the valley, in the ridges above the Lehigh River. Lehigh Gorge State Park sits north of Allentown, where a steep-walled gorge rises above the river.
Things to do around Catasauqua
The Lehigh Valley mixes industrial history with easy outdoor access. In Catasauqua itself, the Biery's Port Historic District reflects the town's role in early American iron production. Allentown and Bethlehem add museums, minor-league baseball, and the Wind Creek Bethlehem casino and events complex, all within a short drive.
Outdoor trips center on the Lehigh River and the Poconos to the north. Whitewater rafters find Class I, II, and III rapids on the Lehigh River, and local outfitters provide gear and guides for families and experienced paddlers alike. The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway offers an up-close view of the gorge, and the Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail draws hikers and cyclists.
Day trips also reach Beltzville State Park for swimming and boating, Hickory Run State Park for its boulder field, and Jim Thorpe for shops, restaurants, and the historic downtown.

The Lehigh Valley has a four-season humid continental climate with cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers. Precipitation is spread fairly evenly through the year, and Allentown averages more than 100 days below freezing. Most private campgrounds in the area open in spring and close by late October, so winter RV camping options are limited and often require self-contained rigs at parks that stay partially open.
Summer is peak season. Sites at popular private parks and lakeside state park campgrounds fill weeks or months ahead for July and August weekends, especially around Independence Day. Pennsylvania state parks have seen strong demand in recent years, and popular Pocono-area campgrounds often book out well in advance.
Spring and fall are quieter and often the best value for RV renters. May and September tend to be the most comfortable shoulder months, with fall foliage typically peaking in the second and third week of October. Shoulder-season nights can dip near freezing, so renters should confirm furnace operation and check that water hookups are still active at their chosen campground.

Great weekend getaway!
Kami A. - Nov 2024
Great vehicle and friendly owners. This compact camper has a lot of creature comforts while allowing one to maneuver and park in regular parking lots. The van is really easy to drive and handles really nice. The beds were comfortable and IMO accommodate 2 adults (top bed) and 1 adult or 2 kids in the lower bed. We were able to use the bike rack, too, and that worked great for a road bike and mountain bike (I think 2 mountain bikes might not fit unless the handle bars were turned on 1 of them). We didn't use the, generator, heater, hot water, shower, sink, microwave or toilet so I can't comment on them but I wish we rented it longer so we could've taken advantage of all this van has to offer. We would absolutely rent again.

How to book a campsite near Catasauqua
Private campgrounds near Catasauqua, including Moyers Lake and Campground, Evergreen Lake Campground, Quaker Woods Campground, Don Laine Campground, and Allentown KOA Journey, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Summer weekends and holiday periods should be booked several months in advance, and many parks require a two-night minimum on weekends.
State-park camping in Pennsylvania uses a single system. Reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance for most state park and state forest overnight stays, through the Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests Reservations website or by calling 888-PA-PARKS. Inventory is released 11 months ahead at noon Eastern Time, which is unusual among state systems.
During the summer season from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, a two-night minimum applies when a Saturday is included, while Sunday-through-Friday stays can be booked as a single night.
What to expect at Catasauqua campgrounds
Campgrounds in the Lehigh Valley range from full-service RV resorts with pools and planned activities to quiet, wooded state-park loops with basic hookups or none at all. Private parks like Allentown KOA Journey and Don Laine Campground tend to have pull-through sites, laundry, Wi-Fi, and playgrounds. State-park sites are generally more spread out, with vault or flush toilets, potable water, and a mix of electric and non-electric loops.
Cell service is reliable in and around Catasauqua but grows patchy in the Poconos and along the Lehigh Gorge. Bears, deer, and raccoons are present, so food should be stored inside the RV overnight.
Roads to most private campgrounds are RV-friendly, but some Pocono-area sites involve narrow, winding approaches. Renters in larger Class A or fifth-wheel rigs should confirm site length and access route with the campground before arrival.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Catasauqua, PA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Catasauqua, PA?
RV rental in Catasauqua is one of the more affordable ways to explore the Lehigh Valley and Poconos. On RVezy, you'll typically find travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes from roughly $175 to $275, and larger Class A rigs from $250 and up. Since hosts set their own pricing, mileage caps, and add-ons, you can compare side-by-side and filter by price to find a cheap RV rental in Catasauqua that still has the features you want. Pro tip: weeknight stays and shoulder-season trips (April or late September) often unlock the best deals, and many Catty hosts discount weekly bookings of 5 nights or more.
discoverlehighvalley.com/hotels/campgrounds-cabins-rv-parks/Do I need a special license to rent an RV in Catasauqua?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Catasauqua for the vast majority of rigs on RVezy. Pennsylvania only requires a non-commercial Class B license for vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) over 26,000 pounds, and almost every Class B campervan, Class C motorhome, travel trailer, and fifth wheel listed on the platform falls well under that threshold. You'll just need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the booking flow. International visitor? Pair your home license with an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're ready to roll.
pa.gov/agencies/dmv/driver-services.htmlWhat protection and roadside assistance comes with my RV rental in Catasauqua?
Every RV rental in Catasauqua booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Route 22 or I-78 with real peace of mind. You choose your coverage level at checkout based on how much extra cushion you want, and the plan helps cover damage to the RV during your trip. Roadside help is just a phone call away if you get a flat near the Lehigh River or need a battery jump at Allentown KOA. It is a great safety net that removes most of the financial worry that holds first-timers back.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Catasauqua RV trip?
Booking an RV rental in Catasauqua is low-risk because RVezy sets the cancellation policy across every listing, not individual hosts. There is a grace-period window after booking where you can cancel for a full refund, and additional refund options depend on how far out your trip is. If a host cancels on you, RVezy will refund you or help you rebook with travel credits. Because the policy is platform-wide, you will never have to dig through individual listings comparing rules. If plans shift, reach out to RVezy support and they will walk you through your options.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Catasauqua?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in Catasauqua is easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on the search page and you'll see every host who welcomes four-legged passengers, often with details about pet fees or rules in the listing. The Lehigh Valley is a fantastic dog destination too: most Pennsylvania state park campgrounds have designated pet-friendly sites, and the Delaware & Lehigh (D&L) Trail running right through Catasauqua and Allentown is a leashed-dog favorite for morning walks. Pro tip: message the host before booking to share your pup's size and breed so check-in is a tail-wagging breeze.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/what-to-do/stay-overnight/rv-and-tent-campsites.htmlCan the RV be delivered to my campground in the Lehigh Valley?
Yes, RV delivery in Catasauqua is offered by many hosts and it is hands-down the easiest way to start your trip, especially for first-timers. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy and you will see hosts who will tow or drive the RV directly to your campground (Allentown KOA in Bechtelsville, Driftstone Campground in Mount Bethel, and Evergreen Lake Campground in Bath are popular drop spots), set it up, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. Delivery fees vary by distance, so message the host with your destination for a quote. You skip the stress of towing and just show up to a ready-to-camp home on wheels.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Catasauqua%2C%20PennsylvaniaHow far can I drive on a Catasauqua RV trip, and what about mileage limits?
Catasauqua sits in a sweet spot for a Pennsylvania RV trip, with tons of destinations within an easy day's drive. Most hosts include a daily mileage allowance (commonly 100 to 150 miles per day) with a small per-mile fee beyond that, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, look for that note on the listing or ask the host directly. From Catty you can reach Jim Thorpe and the Lehigh Gorge in about 40 miles, the Delaware Water Gap in 45 miles, Hershey in 80 miles, Philadelphia in 60 miles, and New York City in roughly 90 miles. Plan your route up front and you'll know exactly what to expect.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Pages/default.aspxWhat are the best campgrounds near Catasauqua, PA for RV camping?
You are surrounded by great options for RV camping in Catasauqua. Allentown KOA Journey in Bechtelsville offers pull-thru sites, full hookups, and a pool.

pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/what-to-do/stay-overnight/rv-and-tent-campsites.htmlWhen is the best time to take an RV trip from Catasauqua?
Late spring through mid-fall is prime time for an RV road trip from Catasauqua, with the absolute sweet spot running mid-May through mid-October. Summers in Catasauqua are warm and humid with highs in the mid-80s and lows around 65, perfect for swimming at Mauch Chunk Lake or tubing the Lehigh River. September and October bring crisp 60- to 70-degree days and unbeatable Pocono and Lehigh Valley fall foliage, this is the local insider's favorite season. Winters drop into the 20s and 30s with snow, so most private campgrounds close from November to April. If you love a cozy snowy escape, look for four-season rigs and year-round parks like Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton.
weather.gov/ctp/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay renting one in Catasauqua?
You're going to do great, first time renting an RV is something thousands of Lehigh Valley travelers do every year.

You can message your host with questions before you even book. For nervous drivers, Catasauqua is friendly terrain: Route 329, Route 22, and I-78 are wide and well-maintained, and you can stick to the suburbs around Allentown and Bethlehem until you feel confident. Pro tip: choose a smaller Class C motorhome rental in Catasauqua or a campervan for your first trip, they drive a lot like a big van.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Safety/Pages/default.aspxWhat happens if I have a breakdown or roadside emergency during my trip?
You are covered around the clock. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so if you get a flat tire on I-78, a dead battery at Hickory Run State Park, or run out of fuel on the way to Jim Thorpe, one phone call gets a tow, jump start, tire change, or fuel delivery dispatched to you. Your host is also a great resource for quirks specific to their RV, and RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after the trip. Save the roadside number in your phone before you pull out of the driveway and you will never feel stranded.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best road trip destinations from Catasauqua?
An RV road trip from Catasauqua opens up some of the best scenery in the Mid-Atlantic. Top routes include Jim Thorpe and Lehigh Gorge State Park (about 40 miles) for whitewater rafting and the scenic railroad, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (about 45 miles) for hiking and river access, Hershey and Lancaster County Amish Country (80 to 90 miles), the Pocono Mountains (about 50 miles) for lakes and ski-season cabins, and Gettysburg (about 150 miles) for Civil War history. Cross-border travel rules vary, so confirm with your host and review RVezy travel policies before booking.
nps.gov/dewa/index.htmWhat should I budget for fuel on a Catasauqua RV trip?
Fuel is usually the biggest variable cost, so it's worth planning ahead. Pennsylvania gas prices typically run a bit higher than the national average due to state fuel taxes, so expect to pay roughly $3.40 to $3.80 per gallon in the Lehigh Valley. Most Class C motorhomes get 8 to 12 miles per gallon (MPG), campervans and Class Bs squeeze out 15 to 20 MPG, and Class A rigs land around 6 to 10 MPG. For a 300-mile loop through the Poconos and Delaware Water Gap, budget $90 to $150 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up at the Wawa or Sheetz stations along Route 22, they tend to be the cheapest and have RV-friendly pull-through pumps.
energy.gov/eere/vehicles/fuel-economyHow far in advance should I book a campground near Catasauqua?
Book as early as you can, especially for summer holiday weekends. Pennsylvania state parks like Hickory Run, Beltzville, and Promised Land open campsite reservations 11 months in advance through the official Pennsylvania state parks reservation system, and prime sites at Hickory Run for July and August often fill within days. Private campgrounds like Allentown KOA and Driftstone typically take bookings 6 to 12 months out. For a spontaneous midweek trip in spring or fall, you can often score a site just a week ahead. Insider tip: if you're flexible, target Sunday-through-Thursday nights, the same campgrounds that are sold out on Saturday often have wide-open availability midweek.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/what-to-do/stay-overnight/rv-and-tent-campsites.htmlWhat are driving conditions like around Catasauqua and the Lehigh Valley?
Driving an RV around Catasauqua is genuinely manageable, even for newer drivers. Route 22, I-78, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension (I-476) are the main arteries and all handle big rigs comfortably. Watch for the historic stone bridge on Race Street in downtown Catty (it has a low clearance) and stick to designated truck routes through Allentown and Bethlehem. The terrain is gently rolling, with steeper grades only when you head north into the Poconos on Route 209 or 33. Winter brings snow and ice from December through March, so check PennDOT's 511PA road conditions site before any cold-weather trip. Summer thunderstorms can pop up fast, just pull over and wait them out.
511pa.com/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Catasauqua?
Campgrounds near Catasauqua are well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Most private parks like Allentown KOA, Driftstone, and Stonybrook RV Resort offer full hookups (30 and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer), Wi-Fi, laundry, hot showers, swimming pools, camp stores, and propane refills. Pennsylvania state parks lean more rustic, expect electric-only or non-hookup sites with shared dump stations and potable water fill stations near the campground entrance. Hickory Run and Beltzville both have modern restrooms with flush toilets and hot showers in season. Pro tip: arrive with at least half a tank of fresh water and empty waste tanks so your first night is hassle-free, and bring a 25-foot sewer hose for the longer site setups at KOA.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/what-to-do/stay-overnight/rv-and-tent-campsites.htmlWhat is included in a typical RV rental in Catasauqua?
You will be pleasantly surprised by how complete most RVs on RVezy are. A typical motorhome rental in Catasauqua includes real beds (often sleeping 4 to 8), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, and microwave, a bathroom with shower and toilet, a dining area, air conditioning and furnace, fresh and waste water tanks, and seatbelts for every traveling passenger. Many listings also offer Wi-Fi hotspots, outdoor TVs, generators for off-grid camping, solar panels, and bike racks. Linens, kitchenware, and camp chairs are often included or available as add-ons, so check the listing amenities. Pro tip: message the host with questions like does the generator power the rooftop AC before booking so you know exactly what you are getting.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Catasauqua%2C%20PennsylvaniaWhat add-ons and pickup options are available with my Catasauqua RV rental?
RVezy hosts in Catasauqua make customization easy. Popular add-ons include linen and kitchen kits, generators, bike racks, kayaks, outdoor grills, camp chairs, and Wi-Fi hotspots.

Filter for Instant Book on the search results page and skip the back-and-forth.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Catasauqua%2C%20PennsylvaniaHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through the RVezy platform with a credit or debit card when you book, so there is no awkward cash handoff at pickup. Your nightly rate, add-ons, taxes, and protection plan are bundled into one transparent total. A refundable security deposit is held separately from the booking payment and released after the trip once the host confirms there is no damage and the RV was returned with the agreed fuel and tank levels. To avoid issues, take time-stamped photos at pickup and drop-off, follow the host dump and fueling instructions, and return on time. Easy peace of mind for your Catasauqua RV trip.
