Mixed Campground

While some parks cater strictly to the RV enthusiast, many offer sites for RVers, tent campers and cabins or cottages for people without camping equipment. Hemlock Campground and Cottages in the heart of the Poconos has all three accommodations for large RV groups that may require different types of services. Campsites are equipped with picnic table, fire ring and hookups, while noncamping guests benefit from cottages featuring a television, stove and full-size refrigerator. The 90-acre 300-site Keen Lake Camping and Cottage Resort off Route 6 also provides accommodations for your noncamping buddies.

The same goes for Chestnut Lake Campground in Brodheadsville, where 32 sites are reserved exclusively for RVs, including the big rigs. source : Poconos Camping
