Campgrounds near Yatesville, Pennsylvania
Yatesville sits in Luzerne County in northeastern Pennsylvania, minutes from Wilkes-Barre and Scranton and within an easy drive of the northern Pocono Mountains. The area gives RV travelers a mix of state park campgrounds and privately run family campgrounds, most of them set in mature hardwood forest around lakes or river gorges.
Frances Slocum State Park lies just west of Yatesville and spans 1,035 acres around a 165-acre horseshoe-shaped lake, with a 100-site campground open from mid-April to mid-October. Lackawanna State Park sits about ten miles north of Scranton on 1,445 acres surrounding the 198-acre Lackawanna Lake, with electric sites, walk-in tent sites, and camping cottages.
Private options round out the mix. Lehigh Gorge Campground, near White Haven at the doorstep of the Poconos, offers full-hookup RV sites within reach of the Lehigh River corridor. Highland Campgrounds and Benton Hills Mobile Home Park serve travelers looking for closer-in sites near town. Together, these give a Yatesville base plenty of range for weekend trips or longer stays.
Things to do near Yatesville
Water and trails drive most trips. Frances Slocum State Park draws boaters and paddlers to its lake, with canoe and kayak rentals, hiking and mountain-biking trails, and a seasonal swimming pool. Lackawanna State Park adds mountain biking, fishing, and swimming, plus more than 18 miles of multi-use trails winding through forest, fields, and lakeshore.
The Lehigh Gorge corridor is the other main draw. From a base at Lehigh Gorge Campground, RV travelers can access Lehigh Gorge State Park for hiking, whitewater rafting, waterfalls, and the D&L Trail, a rail-trail that runs through the gorge. The historic town of Jim Thorpe, with shops, restaurants, and scenic train rides, sits a short drive south.
Rainy-day options in Scranton include Steamtown National Historic Site and the Electric City Aquarium, both family friendly.

The main camping window in this part of Pennsylvania runs from mid-April to mid-October, matching the operating season at Frances Slocum and the similar schedule at Lackawanna. Spring brings cool nights, high water on the Lehigh, and greening forests. Blackfly and mosquito pressure rises through May and June, so screened awnings help.
Summer is peak season. July and August are warm and humid, with afternoon thunderstorms common and campgrounds filling on weekends and holidays. Reserve early for Memorial Day through Labor Day, especially for electric sites. Fall is prime for many RV travelers: cooler days, lower bug counts, and peak foliage generally arriving in early to mid-October across northeastern Pennsylvania.
Winter narrows the options. State park campgrounds close after mid-October, and private parks in the area shift to limited operations or shut entirely. Snow, ice, and short daylight make winter trips a niche choice best suited to travelers ready for cold-weather setup.

How to book campgrounds near Yatesville
Pennsylvania state park campgrounds, including Frances Slocum and Lackawanna, are booked through the DCNR reservation system on the Pennsylvania State Parks website, or by phone at 888-PA-PARKS from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday. Most sites can be reserved up to 11 months in advance, and reservations can generally be made right up to the day of arrival.
For summer weekends, book as far ahead as possible. Popular electric loops at Lackawanna and Frances Slocum fill quickly. A phased shower-house renovation is scheduled to affect parts of the Lackawanna campground in stages, so check site status when booking.
Private campgrounds such as Lehigh Gorge Campground and Highland Campgrounds handle their own reservations directly by phone or through their websites.
What to expect on the ground
Expect wooded, generally shaded sites. State park campgrounds in this area offer electric and non-electric sites, flush toilets, hot showers, potable water, and a sanitary dump station, but full hookups are limited. Sites at Frances Slocum and Lackawanna include a picnic table and fire ring, and both parks have pet-designated loops.
Cell service can be unpredictable in and around Pennsylvania state parks, so download maps and reservation confirmations before arrival. Quiet hours at state parks typically run from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m., and alcohol is prohibited within park boundaries.
For full hookups and family amenities, private parks such as Lehigh Gorge Campground fill the gap, with 30- and 50-amp service and extras like pools and camp stores that work well for families.
