The location puts RV travelers within a short drive of two Pennsylvania state park campgrounds and the northern edge of the Pocono Mountains, with easy access via Interstates 81 and 476.
The closest developed campground is Frances Slocum State Park in Luzerne County, roughly 15 miles west. The 1,445-acre Lackawanna State Park is in northeastern Pennsylvania, ten miles north of Scranton. The centerpiece of the park, the 198-acre Lackawanna Lake, is surrounded by picnic areas and multi-use trails winding through forest, placing it about 25 miles from West Pittston. Both are run by Pennsylvania DCNR.
For RVers wanting full hookups rather than state-park amenities, private options include Highland Campgrounds and Lehigh Gorge Campground near White Haven, plus long-stay sites at Benton Hills Mobile Home Park. Lehigh Gorge Campground in White Haven, PA offers family-friendly camping along the Lehigh River in the Pocono Mountains. This full-service campground has been family owned for over 40 years, giving trip planners a mix of public and private choices within an hour's drive.
Things to do near West Pittston
Water recreation anchors most trips. The horseshoe shaped, 165-acre lake at Frances Slocum State Park is popular for boating and fishing, and is a home to many species of birds, fish and wildlife. Boating on the lake is restricted to electric motors, with two launches and courtesy docks available for canoes and kayaks. At Lackawanna State Park, boating, camping, fishing, mountain biking and swimming are popular recreation activities.
Hiking and biking are strong in every direction. Numerous hiking and mountain biking trails and the large day use area attract visitors to picnic and explore the forests at Frances Slocum. Farther south, Lehigh Gorge Campground puts guests near Lehigh Gorge State Park, known for its scenic river gorge, waterfalls, and miles of trails for hiking, biking, and whitewater rafting.
Families with kids can plan for pool time at Frances Slocum. The swimming pool is open daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day, unless posted otherwise, offering an alternative to lake swimming, which is not permitted.

State-park camping in this region is a warm-season affair. At Frances Slocum State Park, the campground opens in mid-April and closes in mid-October. At Lackawanna State Park, the campground opens mid-April and closes mid-October as well, so trips outside that window need to shift to private grounds or day use.
Summer, from Memorial Day through Labor Day, is peak. Weekends book out well in advance, weekday availability is easier, and length-of-stay rules tighten. The maximum camping period is 14 consecutive days in the summer season and 21 consecutive days in the off-season at Lackawanna.
Shoulder seasons bring cooler nights, thinner crowds, and fall color through the Pocono foothills. Winter shifts activity to day use, with local parks open sunrise to sunset for hiking, sledding, and cross-country skiing when conditions allow. One planning note for near-term trips: beginning in 2027, the campground at Lackawanna State Park is undergoing a major shower house renovation project. During this time, portions of the campground will be temporarily closed while other areas remain open as work is completed in phases.

How to book campgrounds
Pennsylvania state parks use one central 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. Bookings for Frances Slocum and Lackawanna go through the DCNR portal or by phone. Make online reservations for day use and overnight facilities or call toll-free 888-PA-PARKS (888-727-2757), from 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Monday to Saturday.
Pet plans need to be flagged at booking. At Lackawanna State Park, Fox Run and Maple Lane loops allow pets at designated sites, and at Frances Slocum, pets are permitted on designated sites.
Private campgrounds such as Highland Campgrounds and Lehigh Gorge Campground handle their own reservations directly by phone or website, so book those separately and confirm site length before arrival.
