What would be a good loop/site for one person car camping? I’m also open to the park and walk option.

We came in October of 2021 - our first trip with our new to us TT. We came in during a Nor’easter so everything was swamped but the sun came out the next day and everything was beautiful especially the fall colors. The location is great to explore the Poconos and nearby locations like the rock field. The campground was very quiet which we appreciate. We were there during the week so it was pretty empty. The campsite was spacious and level. There is not a lot of privacy but enough room between campers to be happy.

We had a FHU site that was level and spacious. Plenty of space between sites but close to 534 which was a little noisy. Woke up to snow on Sunday morning (it was Thanksgiving weekend). Definitely go on the Hawk Falls hike and explore the Boulder Field.

This is a great campground in an awesome part of Pennsylvania. The campground is beautiful and our section of the park near site 380 which is the FHU section was spacious and roomy. In fact there is a huge circular field with nothing but a swing set in it right in the middle of the all the campsites. Our cell service was not the greatest, but we got plenty of OTA TV Channels. The park is about 30 minutes or so from Wilkes Barre, PA which would be the largest big city. It is about 20 minutes from the interesting historic town of Jim Thorpe, PA which has tons of fun stuff to see and do, including a scenic railway line through the Lehigh Valley. There are many hiking trails in this beautiful Pocono setting. We arrived from the east (NY, NJ, Conn) and took I-80 to PA 534 as advised by the park. The drive was no problem. There is one switchback at an intersection with River Rd. which would be blind around the bend but there is a nice 4 way stop there making it completely safe. There is also a short 14 percent grade on PA 534 but it was a very short stretch of road (maybe a quarter mile tops) and it is well signed. We had no problem going up or down with our truck and 35 foot fifth wheel. I was all set to give this park a glowing 5 stars but had to deduct one because I stopped in the restroom just before we pulled out at about 10 am and it was a smelly mess, I don’t believe it had been cleaned in the past day or perhaps more. So glad I only had to use it one time. Other than that if you are self contained it is a great five star park!

Great family campground with a small camp store, beach lake with snack stand. Close access to great hiking, waterfalls, fishing and a Boulder field!

Wooded sites, most for tenting. A number of sites had electricity only and very few with full hookups. We had an electric only site which overlooked a dense forest. Our site was fairly level with good space for our 22 ft TT. Unfortunately this site was a little exposed on one side. The park offers hiking and not far away is access to the D&L bike trail and kayaking on the Lehigh river. Bathrooms had warm showers and were relatively clean. We would definitely stay again but not in this site since we noticed a few others in the loop that were nicer.
For those in the NY metro area, this was a quick ride west on Route 80 in the Poconos.

Hickory Run is a classic. A camp store that operates like a magical NYC bodega (everything you could want, including what you didn't know you needed) and great hiking trails accessible right from camp.

However, try to avoid the "rustic" loop where there is little tree cover and the bathrooms are classic (super smelly) pit toilets. 💩We often went over to other loops to use the facilities + showers.
While you're in the neighborhood, make sure you go to Jim Thorpe for a fun, quaint downtown and hike/bike along the Lehigh Gorge (hike to okana falls!)

Beautiful woods, with variety of campsites. Inadequate restrooms, as it is a shared facility brtween loops 165-228 and 229-273. 3 stalls, 3 showers, not very clean due to heavy use. TP is also very low this morning. Sites are well laid out for as much privacy as possible in crowded conditions. Paved road and pad. 247 was 6-7” out of level front to back, 2” side to side. We prefer sites we can back into and have the back of the rig higher, where our heads are in bed. If that is your preference, dont reserve 245, 246, or 248. Sites we thought were pretty level and nicely situated are 274, 253, 258. Site 262 looks lovely and private, but be aware it curves to drivers side when backing up. Electric box is around curve. Fee is $35+ reservation transaction fee.

We wanted to visit the boulder field but it rained too much.
