A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. All guests check in at the main office and sign the terms on arrival. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a jumping pillow, arcade, recreation center, sports courts, basketball, horseshoes, and gem mining filling the grounds.

Sun Retreats Cape May Wildwood

52 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 38 Tent Sites

Sun Retreats Cape May Wildwood in Cape May, NJ, offers 52 full-hookup RV sites, 3 cabins, and 38 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 90 feet.

At 90 feet the pull-thrus take long coaches, and the campground is rated big rig friendly. Note the name history: this property was formerly Sun Outdoors Cape May, also known as the Cape May KOA, and is now Sun Retreats Cape May Wildwood — worth knowing if you're searching by an older name. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills, a clubhouse, and a community fire pit. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, a fitness center, a private lake with a sandy beach, sport courts, pickleball, basketball, horseshoes, and a playground fill the grounds, with swimming, fishing, biking, and planned activities.

A private sandy beach and swimming lake with two waterslides anchor the recreation, with an outdoor pool alongside.

100 Mile View Camping

7 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

100 Mile View Camping in Jim Thorpe, PA, offers 7 RV sites and 7 tent sites, with room for rigs up to 40 feet. Every site is a rustic campsite that takes either an RV or a tent, with a fire pit and picnic table. Be clear on what rustic means here: there are no hookups at the site — no water, sewer, or electric — and sanitation is by portable toilet, so come fully self-contained. The property is rated big rig friendly within its 40-foot limit. Pets are welcome. What you get instead of hookups is the view. The campground occupies 400 acres of rolling Pocono terrain and its high ridgeline delivers panoramas across multiple counties on a clear day — the name is not marketing. Walking trails, hiking, biking, and mountain biking run from the property, with boating and a state park nearby. Jim Thorpe sits three miles away, a Victorian town in the Lehigh Gorge that anchors this corner of the Poconos. Rates for RV and tent sites are on the booking page. Arrive self-contained and with water aboard — there is nothing to hook up to.

from $40/night

Dingmans Campground

50 RV Sites, 82 Tent Sites

Dingmans Campground in Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania, offers 50 RV sites and 82 tent sites in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Forest RV sites join tent and RV categories with capacity limits stated up front, alongside a boat ramp, bike rentals, and river access. Fifty back-in sites span 20/30/50-amp forest RV, 20-amp forest tent/RV, and tent/no forest amenity RV categories with a stated 10-person maximum, carrying water and electric, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan around the hookups: sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station. Accessible sites are available. Eighty-two tent sites make this a tent-first property — more tent sites than RV sites by a wide margin. A general store, dump station, restrooms, portable toilets, and firewood handle the practical side. A boat ramp and bike rentals open the Delaware for canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, swimming, and fishing. Sports courts, volleyball, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, and picnicking fill the grounds, with planned activities and genuinely productive birding. Pets are welcome. The Delaware Water Gap protects one of the most scenic river valleys in the Northeast, with waterfall hikes, clean swimming pools in the river, and Pike County's forested Pocono highlands all at hand. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Wake in the Woods Aquapark & Campground

Wake in the Woods Aquapark & Campground in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania, offers camping and cabin rentals on a private seven-acre lake with an inflatable aqua park on the water, behind a gated entrance in the Pocono Mountains. Boat docks, boat rentals, a bar, and food trucks serve families and group events on historic Lake Genero. Tent sites and cabin rentals make up the accommodations, with corporate retreat and group event infrastructure on site. A general store, boutique shop, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout and a gated entrance controlling access. The inflatable aqua park is the signature. These are large floating structures with water slides, obstacles, and climbing features, designed to give swimmers a safe, genuinely demanding play area on open water — considerably more engaging than a pool, and the reason most families book. Boat docks, boat rentals, swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and boating fill out the water recreation, with sports courts, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, and community fire pit on land. A bar and visiting food trucks handle evenings, and the property also serves as a wedding venue. Stargazing and birding are strong across the forested acreage. Pets are welcome. Lake Ariel sits in Wayne County in the northeastern Pennsylvania lake district, where private lakes, state forest land, and ridge-and-valley terrain built the Pocono resort region's identity for Philadelphians from the nineteenth century onward. Summer is decisively the season for the aqua park. Reserve well ahead.

The Campground at Bethel Woods

414 RV Sites, 25 Tent Sites, 60 Glamping Sites

The Campground at Bethel Woods in Swan Lake, New York, offers 414 RV sites, 25 tent sites, and 60 glamping sites on the historic grounds of the 1969 Woodstock festival, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 60 feet behind a gated entrance. Premier RV and car camping categories join a disc golf course, general store, and community fire pit. Four hundred fourteen back-in sites run in Premier RV and car camping categories, carrying water and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet. Plan around the hookups: sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity accordingly. Twenty-five tent sites and 60 glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and portable toilets handle the practical side. Two things worth knowing: the camping price does not include concert tickets, and lawn and camping chairs are permitted in the campgrounds. A disc golf course, pond, pavilion, and community fire pit fill the grounds. The amenity set is deliberately restrained — the property exists to serve the amphitheater and the museum, not to compete with them. Pets are welcome. Guests sleep on the actual site where half a million people gathered over three days in August 1969 to define a generation's relationship to music and possibility. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, its museum, and its concert pavilion sit on the same ground, in the Sullivan County countryside of the Catskills. Demand tracks the concert calendar entirely. Check the schedule and reserve as early as you can for show weekends.
