Camping near Gouldsboro, Pennsylvania
Gouldsboro sits on the Pocono Plateau in northeastern Pennsylvania, at an elevation near 2,000 feet that keeps summer nights cool and stretches the shoulder seasons. The area is built for RV travel: I-380 runs through the region, connecting campers to lakeside state parks, private resorts, and the Pocono Raceway corridor within a short drive.
Tobyhanna State Park anchors the local public-land options, with a 5,440-acre park surrounding a 170-acre lake just minutes from town. Hemlock Campground and Cottages and Mount Pocono Campground cover the private side with family-oriented amenities, while Pocono Raceway Campground draws NASCAR fans to Long Pond during race weekends. Farther east, Ironwood Point Recreation Area PPL puts campers on Lake Wallenpaupack, the second-largest lake entirely within Pennsylvania.
The mix of state-park sites, lakeside private parks, and event-driven raceway camping makes Gouldsboro a flexible base for families, anglers, and motorsports fans alike.
Things to do around Gouldsboro
Tobyhanna State Park is the main draw for on-the-water recreation, with a sand swimming beach, a boat rental concession in summer, and a 5.1-mile blue-blazed trail looping the lake. A multi-year lake rehabilitation project is scheduled to draw Tobyhanna Lake down from spring 2027 through the end of 2028 for dam replacement and dredging, closing swimming, boating, and fishing during that period, though all recreation trails and the modern camping area will remain open.
Lake Wallenpaupack, reached from Ironwood Point Recreation Area PPL, offers 52 miles of shoreline and 5,700 acres for fishing, boating, and kayaking. Pocono Raceway hosts NASCAR Cup Series race weekends in summer, and the surrounding region adds hiking, waterparks, mountain biking, and ski-area attractions that operate seasonally.

The camping season in Gouldsboro is tightly tied to the Pocono climate. The 135-site campground at Tobyhanna State Park is open from the second Friday in April to the third Sunday in October, which mirrors the practical RV window for most public and private parks in the area. Outside that window, snow and freezing temperatures shut down water systems at most campgrounds.
Summer is the busiest stretch. Daytime highs are comfortable rather than hot, but the elevation near 2,000 feet means nighttime temperatures stay cool even in July and August, so campers should pack layers. July and August weekends fill quickly, particularly around Pocono Raceway race weekends, when camping at Pocono Raceway Campground regularly sells out well in advance.
Fall brings strong foliage color through late September and October, with lighter crowds midweek. Winter is harsh: heavy snow, limited road access in remote areas, and most campgrounds closed.
How to book a campsite
Reservations for Tobyhanna State Park go through the Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system, online via the DCNR site or by phone at 888-PA-PARKS. Sites can be booked up to 11 months in advance, and the same window applies to organized group tenting areas. For peak summer weekends and fall foliage dates, booking close to the 11-month opening is recommended.
Private parks including Hemlock Campground and Cottages, Mount Pocono Campground, and Ironwood Point Recreation Area PPL take reservations directly through their own websites or offices, often with deposit requirements and minimum stays on holiday weekends. Pocono Raceway Campground sells camping in connection with race-weekend ticket packages through the raceway's own site, and popular trackside and infield spots routinely sell out in advance.
What to expect on the ground
Most local campgrounds offer a mix of water-and-electric sites and rustic non-electric sites. Tobyhanna's modern campground has flush toilets, showers, water spigots in a central location, a playground, and a sanitary dump station located between the park office and the campground entrance. Pets are permitted at selected sites for a fee, and alcohol is prohibited in Pennsylvania state parks.
Elevation matters. Even in July, nighttime temperatures can drop into the 50s Fahrenheit, so families should pack warm sleep layers. Cell coverage is patchy in wooded sections of the state park, and some campsites have limited privacy between neighbors. Visitors should also note that hunting is permitted on much of Tobyhanna's park land during the fall season, so wearing blaze orange when hiking outside marked recreation areas is recommended.
