Pocono Springs camping overview
Pocono Springs sits in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania, a heavily wooded highlands region shaped by lakes, state parks, and second-growth hemlock forest. The area draws RV travelers from the New York and Philadelphia metros because full-service private parks, state park campgrounds, and lakefront recreation areas all sit within a short drive of one another. Elevations near 2,000 feet keep summer nights cooler than the surrounding lowlands, which shapes both the camping season and what to pack.
The closest public option is Tobyhanna State Park, a 5,440-acre park in Monroe and Wayne counties that surrounds the 170-acre Tobyhanna Lake. Private full-hookup options within roughly 15 to 30 minutes include Hemlock Campground and Cottages, Mount Pocono Campground, and Three Pines Campground.
For lakefront RV camping, Ironwood Point Recreation Area PPL sits directly on Lake Wallenpaupack, the second-largest lake entirely within Pennsylvania. Together these five properties cover the main use cases: rustic state-park camping, mid-size family parks with pools, and lakefront sites with boat access.
Things to do near Pocono Springs
Water recreation drives most trips. A trail loops around Tobyhanna Lake and is a favorite for biking and hiking, and the beach area supports swimming and paddling when the lake is open. Note that Tobyhanna Lake is scheduled to be drawn down between spring 2027 and the end of 2028 for dam maintenance and lakebed dredging, which will close swimming, boating, and fishing during that period. The recreation trails and the modern camping area remain open.
Lake Wallenpaupack is the region's boating hub. Ironwood Point Recreation Area PPL has an on-site boat launch and marina with a marine gas dock, boat slips, and seasonal rentals, plus a camp store, laundry, and hot showers.
Beyond the water, families use Pocono Springs as a base for Bushkill Falls, Pocono Raceway, and the ski areas that pivot to summer mountain biking.

Most Pocono campgrounds run a mid-April to mid-October season. Tobyhanna State Park's 135-site camping area is open from the second Friday in April to the third Sunday in October. Private parks such as Hemlock Campground and Cottages and Mount Pocono Campground follow similar spring-through-fall windows, with opening dates in April or early May depending on elevation and weather.
Summer is peak. Weekends fill early around Independence Day and through August, and cabin and cottage inventory disappears first. Fall foliage in late September and early October produces a second peak, particularly at lakefront sites like Ironwood Point Recreation Area PPL, and holiday weekends often carry two-night minimums.
Shoulder seasons bring cool nights. Due to the high elevation of nearly 2,000 feet above sea level, campers should be prepared for cool nighttime temperatures, even during the summer months. Winter camping options are limited because most private parks close and the state park modern campground shuts down, though day-use areas and trails stay open year-round for hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling.
How to book campgrounds near Pocono Springs
State park sites use the Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system operated through ReserveAmerica. Most sites can be reserved up to 11 months in advance, with the booking window opening at noon Eastern Time, and reservations are accepted up to noon of the day of arrival. Booking is handled online through the DCNR reservation portal or by phone at 888-PA-PARKS.
Private campgrounds each run their own systems. Hemlock Campground and Cottages, Mount Pocono Campground, Ironwood Point Recreation Area PPL, and Three Pines Campground accept reservations by phone and, in most cases, through their websites. Deposits, cancellation windows, and holiday minimum stays vary by property, so confirm at booking.
For summer weekends, aim to book two to three months out. Foliage weekends in early October and any Memorial Day, Independence Day, or Labor Day stay should be locked in earlier.
What to expect on-site
Site type varies widely. Tobyhanna State Park offers electric and non-electric sites with flush toilets, showers, water spigots in a central location, a playground, and a sanitary dump station between the park office and the campground entrance. There are no full hookups at the state park.
Private parks fill the full-hookup gap. Mount Pocono Campground offers sites with water, cable, sewer, and 20, 30, and 50-amp electric. Ironwood Point Recreation Area PPL provides lakefront sites with 30-amp electric, water, and dump-station access, plus an on-site camp store, laundry, hot showers, and a boat launch.
Cell coverage is inconsistent under tree cover, and Wi-Fi at private parks tends to be usable near the office and spotty at individual sites. Pack layers for cool evenings, insect protection for early summer, and reservation printouts, since some park offices are unstaffed after hours.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Pocono Springs, PA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Pocono Springs, PA?
RV rental in Pocono Springs is more affordable than most people expect, especially when you compare it to staying at one of the resort hotels along Route 940. On RVezy, expect roughly $95 to $175 per night for a travel trailer, $150 to $225 for a Class C motorhome, and $200 to $325 for a larger Class A. Hosts set their own pricing, so you can filter by price range and find cheap RV rental Pocono Springs options that still include kitchens, AC, and full bedding. Pro tip: booking midweek in May, early June, or late September shaves 20 to 30 percent off summer rates while you still get gorgeous mountain weather and open trails.
poconomountains.com/places-to-stay/camping/Do I need a special license to rent an RV in Pocono Springs?
Good news: a regular Class C driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Pocono Springs for the vast majority of rigs on RVezy. Pennsylvania only requires a non-commercial Class B license for single vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more, and a Class A license for combinations over 26,001 pounds GCWR when the trailer is over 10,000 pounds. Almost every Class B campervan, Class C motorhome, and travel trailer on RVezy falls well under those limits. You just need to be 25 or older with a valid license, which RVezy verifies through the platform. No CDL, no test, no extra DMV trip. If you're eyeing a big 40-foot Class A diesel pusher, message the host first to confirm weight, but for the typical Pocono Springs RV trip you're cleared to drive.
psp.pa.gov/public-safety/Pages/License-Classes-Non-Commercial.aspxIs RV rental insurance and roadside help included on my Pocono Springs trip?
Every RVezy booking includes a protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance through Access Roadside, so you can hit Interstate 84 or Route 191 with peace of mind. RVezy offers four protection plans (Basic, Standard, Premium, and Stationary), and you choose the level of coverage at checkout, not the host. Each plan includes physical damage coverage, third-party liability, and roadside assistance, with deductibles and benefits that scale with the plan. If a tire goes flat on the way to Lake Wallenpaupack or your battery dies at a trailhead, call your host first, then Access Roadside at 1-866-227-2213 if needed. For first-timers, this built-in safety net is one of the biggest reasons to rent an RV in Pocono Springs through RVezy.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat if I have to cancel my Pocono Springs RV reservation?
RVezy (not the host) sets the cancellation policy, so it's the same fair, transparent process on every booking. Cancel within 24 hours of the host accepting your booking (and more than 24 hours before the trip starts) and you receive a full refund of the rental amount. After that, cancel more than 30 days before your trip start date and you forfeit only the RVezy service fee and its tax. Cancel between 30 and 8 days out and you forfeit 50 percent of the rental amount plus the service fee. Within 7 days, the full rental amount is forfeited. Add-ons, delivery fees, protection plans, and taxes on those items are refunded regardless of when you cancel. If a host cancels, you receive a full refund. RVezy's natural disasters policy may apply for events like winter storms hitting the Pocono Plateau.
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 Pocono Springs?
Absolutely, and the Poconos are made for dogs. Plenty of hosts offer pet-friendly RV rental Pocono Springs options on RVezy, which you can find instantly by checking the Pet-Friendly filter on the search page. Many local campgrounds welcome leashed pups too, including Pocono Vacation Park in Stroudsburg and the Honesdale/Pocono KOA, which even has a fenced KampK9 dog area. Promised Land State Park, about 20 minutes north, has miles of dog-friendly lakeside trails perfect for a morning walk before coffee. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee and bring a long lead, because the woods around Pocono Springs are full of squirrels your dog will absolutely notice.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/PromisedLandStatePark/Pages/default.aspxCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Pocono Springs?
Yes, and RV delivery Pocono Springs is genuinely one of the best ways to start a stress-free trip. Many hosts on RVezy will drive the RV right to your campsite at places like Pocono Vacation Park, Otter Lake Camp Resort, or the Honesdale/Pocono KOA, level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. That means no learning to back a 30-foot trailer down a wooded lane on day one. To find these listings, use the Delivery filter and message the host with your campground name. Delivery fees are usually based on distance, and for first-time renters or families with little kids, it's the closest thing to a turnkey vacation you can book.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/TobyhannaStatePark/Pages/default.aspxHow far can I drive on a typical Pocono Springs RV trip?
You've got serious range from Pocono Springs, and many hosts offer generous or even unlimited mileage packages so you can roam. Most listings include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with extra miles available at a small per-mile rate (check the listing's mileage policy before booking). From Pocono Springs you're about 25 miles to Scranton, 35 miles to the Delaware Water Gap, 90 miles to Philadelphia, and roughly 110 miles to New York City, all easy day trips or weekend loops. Heading to Niagara Falls or Washington, D.C.? Filter for RV rental with unlimited mileage to keep the meter off. Pro tip: ask the host for a custom weekly mileage bundle if you're planning a longer Pennsylvania loop.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Pages/default.aspxWhere are the best campgrounds near Pocono Springs to stay?
You're spoiled for choice with best campgrounds near Pocono Springs within a 30-minute drive. Honesdale/Pocono KOA Holiday in Honesdale offers full hookup pull-throughs, a dog park, and a swimming pool. Pocono Vacation Park in Stroudsburg has 30 and 50 amp hookups, is open year-round, and is a short hop from downtown shops and restaurants. Cranberry Run Campground in East Stroudsburg keeps it old-school 1970s style with water, 30-amp electric, and sewer at every RV site. Otter Lake Camp Resort sits on a 60-acre lake with indoor and outdoor pools. For state-park vibes, Promised Land State Park has electric sites tucked along the lake. Book early for July, August, and October foliage weekends.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/PromisedLandStatePark/Pages/default.aspxWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from Pocono Springs?
Honestly, there's no bad season here, but late May through mid-October is the sweet spot for RV camping Pocono Springs. Summer highs sit in the comfortable mid-70s to low 80s (the area rarely tops 90 degrees thanks to its 1,800-foot elevation), while nights stay cool enough for a campfire. Early October is magic for fall foliage, with daytime temps in the 50s and 60s and the maples blazing along Route 6. Winter can dip into the teens or single digits with around 50 inches of annual snowfall, so cold-weather rigs only. Shoulder seasons (May and late September) bring lower rates and quiet trails. Pro tip: book your fall foliage week by mid-August because it fills fast.
climate.met.psu.edu/data/city_information/lcds/mpo.phpI'm a first-time renter. How do I actually drive an RV in the Poconos?
You've got more support than you think, and that's why first time renting an RV in the Poconos goes smoothly for thousands of guests every year. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering the brakes, mirrors, propane, water, and dump systems, and you can message them throughout the trip if a question pops up. Take your first 30 minutes on quieter roads like Route 590 or Route 296 before jumping onto Interstate 84. Drive 5 to 10 mph slower than you would in your car, take wider turns, and use truck lanes on hills like the climb out of the Delaware Water Gap. By day two, you'll feel like a pro.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Safety/Pages/default.aspxWhat happens if something breaks down on my Pocono Springs RV trip?
You're never stranded. Every RVezy protection plan includes 24/7 roadside assistance through Access Roadside, so a dead battery at Lake Wallenpaupack, a lockout at a trailhead, or a breakdown on Route 191 is one phone call away from help. The standard process is to contact your host first for troubleshooting, then call Access Roadside at 1-866-227-2213 if the issue cannot be resolved. Coverage applies when the RV is inoperable and includes towing, jump starts, and limited tire and fuel service depending on your selected plan. Your host is reachable through the RVezy messaging app for system-specific questions like the furnace, water pump, or slide-outs, and RVezy support is available at 1-855-697-8399. Pro tip: snap a photo of the RV's VIN and the roadside number at pickup so it's handy if you need it.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039006774-Understanding-RV-s-roadside-assistanceCan I take my Pocono Springs RV rental into other states or Canada?
Yes, and an RV road trip from Pocono Springs makes interstate travel easy. Most hosts allow travel into New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and beyond, and many will approve a run up to Niagara Falls or into New England. RVezy insurance and roadside assistance cover travel across the US-Canada border, but you'll need the host's written permission and should carry your booking voucher, rental agreement, insurance certificate, and a valid passport. Travel to Mexico is not permitted because RVezy coverage does not extend there. Popular routes from Pocono Springs include the Finger Lakes (about 3.5 hours), Acadia National Park (8 hours), and the Blue Ridge Parkway (7 hours). Confirm your itinerary with the host so they can set the right mileage and travel package.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/sections/31492455557915-Insurance-protectionWhat kind of gas mileage and fuel budget should I plan for?
Budgeting fuel for a motorhome rental Pocono Springs trip is simpler than people think. Class B campervans average 18 to 22 miles per gallon (MPG), Class C motorhomes run 8 to 12 MPG, and larger Class A rigs sit at 6 to 10 MPG. Travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle but expect a 25 to 40 percent drop from its normal MPG. Gas in Wayne and Monroe counties typically tracks near the Pennsylvania state average, with stations in Hamlin, Hawley, and Mount Pocono being convenient fill-ups. Pro tip: top off in Pennsylvania before crossing into New Jersey, where prices are sometimes higher, and avoid the Interstate 80 truck stops at peak Friday afternoon traffic.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Pocono Springs?
Earlier is better, but you've got more flexibility than you'd guess. For Pennsylvania state parks like Promised Land, Tobyhanna, and Hickory Run, reservations open up to 11 months in advance through the official Pennsylvania state parks reservation system, and prime summer weekends often fill 4 to 6 months out. Private parks like the Honesdale/Pocono KOA, Pocono Vacation Park, and Otter Lake Camp Resort book direct through their websites, with 2 to 3 months of lead time usually safe for midweek and 3 to 6 months for summer weekends. Fall foliage weekends in early to mid-October are the toughest ticket, so lock those in by July. Last-minute? Tuesday and Wednesday arrivals almost always have availability.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/Reservations/Pages/default.aspxWhat are driving conditions like in and around Pocono Springs?
Driving in Pocono Springs is straightforward once you know the lay of the land. The main routes (Interstate 84, Interstate 380, Route 6, and Route 191) are well-maintained two- and four-lane highways with manageable grades, though you'll feel the climbs and descents around the 1,800-foot Pocono Plateau. Watch for sudden fog on mountain passes, deer at dawn and dusk (especially along Route 590 and Route 507), and lake-effect snow squalls from November through March. Summer brings heavy weekend traffic on Interstate 80 between New York and the Poconos, so leave Friday morning or after 8 p.m. Skip narrow back roads like Goose Pond Road in a big rig. Pro tip: PA 511 gives free real-time road and weather updates.
511pa.com/What amenities will I find at Pocono Springs campgrounds?
You'll have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Most full-hookup campgrounds near Pocono Springs (including Pocono Vacation Park, the Honesdale/Pocono KOA, and Otter Lake Camp Resort) offer 30 and 50 amp electric, fresh water, and sewer right at the site, plus picnic tables, fire rings, and hot-shower bathhouses. Many add Wi-Fi, laundry, pools, and on-site stores for ice and firewood. Dump stations and potable water fills are standard, and Pennsylvania state parks like Promised Land also have free dump stations even if you're not camping there. Pro tip: top off fresh water before climbing to higher campgrounds, and ask your host whether the RV's tanks are heated if you're visiting in shoulder seasons when overnight temps can drop below freezing.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/PromisedLandStatePark/Pages/default.aspxWhat's actually inside the RV I'm renting in Pocono Springs?
More than you'd guess. A typical campervan rental Pocono Springs or motorhome on RVezy comes ready to camp with a real bed (or two), a kitchen with fridge, stove, sink, and basic cookware, a bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control with AC and furnace, and seatbelted seating for the whole crew. Most include a TV, and many hosts add Wi-Fi hotspots, generators for off-grid stays, outdoor speakers, and bike racks. Linens, towels, and a starter kitchen kit are often provided or available as add-ons. Each listing spells out exactly what's included, and you can message the host to confirm specifics like a coffee maker, high chair, or extra blankets for chilly Pocono nights. Pretty much pack clothes and groceries and you're set.
dcnr.pa.gov/Recreation/WhatToDo/Camping/Pages/default.aspxWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
RVezy hosts in the Pocono Springs area offer add-ons that make the trip easier and more fun. Common options include bedding and towel packages, camp chairs and outdoor mats, BBQ grills, generators, bike racks, kayak racks, kids' kits, and even pre-stocked kitchen bundles. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Pocono Springs, Hamlin, Hawley, or nearby Lake Ariel, with a 30 to 60 minute walkthrough included. Drop-off mirrors pickup unless you've arranged delivery. Mileage policies vary by listing (most include 100 to 150 free miles per night with reasonable per-mile overage), and generator hours are often capped or metered separately. Pro tip: book add-ons at the same time as the RV so the host can have everything ready and loaded at handoff.
visitpa.com/regions/pocono-mountainsHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple, secure, and fully online, so there's no cash exchange at pickup. You pay through the RVezy platform with a credit or debit card, and your booking total covers the nightly rate, mileage and generator packages, the protection plan you select, and any host add-ons. A refundable security deposit is held (not charged) on your card before the trip, and it's released after a smooth return with no damages or extra mileage. The exact deposit amount is shown on the listing before you book. Pro tip: take a quick time-stamped walk-around video at pickup and at return, and you'll breeze through deposit release with zero stress.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Pocono Springs during the winter?
Yes, and winter is one of the best-kept secrets in the Poconos. A handful of RVezy hosts list four-season rigs with heated tanks, enclosed underbellies, and reliable furnaces specifically built for the snowy Pocono winters (think average lows in the teens and 20s with about 50 inches of annual snowfall). Filter for Instant Book and message the host to confirm the RV is rated for sub-freezing temperatures and that your campground offers winter shore power. Pocono Vacation Park stays open year-round, and you'll be a short drive from skiing at Camelback, Jack Frost, and Big Boulder. Pro tip: bring a heated water hose, ask the host about skirting, and plan for at least 30-amp electric so the furnace and space heater can run together.
