State-park sites go through the Pennsylvania DCNR reservation system. Most campsites in Pennsylvania state parks can be reserved 11 months in advance to noon of the day of arrival, and campers without a reservation arriving after noon should check near the campground entrance for instructions. Reservations for Frances Slocum State Park can be made online through the DCNR website or by calling the park office directly. Private parks handle bookings on their own sites or by phone. Highland Campgrounds, Lehigh Gorge Campground, Council Cup Campground, and Moyers Grove Campground each take direct reservations, with holiday weekends and themed events selling out earliest. Confirm rig length limits when booking, especially at wooded sites where turning radius and overhead clearance can vary.
