Poconos Camping
RV Camping in the PoconosRV camping in the
Poconos Mountain is found in Monroe and Pike counties in northeastern Pennsylvania. The communities of Mount Pocono, Brodheadsville, Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg play a vital role in serving campers from all over the United States. Most RV campgrounds are family-oriented with luxury amenities. RV parks have vehicle size limits, although it’s not difficult to find 40- and 50-foot site accommodations.
Family Camping
In the northern Pocono Mountains is the Countryside Family Campgrounds, which offers access to a wide range of activities from shopping to fishing. The park serves primarily RV and tent campers. The park is a full-service facility with pool, playground, miniature golf and store. WT Family Campgrounds is a full-service facility for RVers who like their amenities no farther than the edge of their campsite. There is a heated pool, camp store, miniature golf course, planned children’s activities, horseback riding, paintball skirmish course and snowboarding in the winter.
Delaware Water Gap
At the Delaware Water Gap is the pet-friendly Delaware Gap Water/Pocono Mountain KOA with access to 40 miles of the Delaware River that wind along wood-lined shores and under high bluffs. The park emphasizes its services to RV campers. Adventurous children and parents can kayak and raft on the water or hike through the woods to Bushkill Falls. Mountain Vista Campground is just a few minutes’ drive from the Delaware Water Gap and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The park can accommodate big rigs.
Rugged Campers
The 1,306-acre Big Pocono State Park leading to Camelback Mountain is a leading destination for RV and tent campers. The mountain’s summit offers expansive views of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. The park’s leading activities are hiking the North Trail suitable for experienced hikers. The park also permits horseback riding, hunting and fishing. Mountain bicycling enthusiasts who like challenging trails will find them at the 28-acre Jim Thorpe Camping Resort. The park features endless mountain bike and hiking trails throughout the campground. The facility also features a grocery store and swimming pools.
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.
RVs Only
Some RV owners appreciate the company of other RVers to exchange the latest tips in RV camping. 81-80 RV Park and Campground at Mountaintop offers 75 sites strictly for recreational vehicles up to 50 feet. The same goes for Chestnut Lake Campground in Brodheadsville, where 32 sites are reserved exclusively for RVs, including the big rigs. source : Poconos Camping
poconos ski resorts
Camelback, The largest ski area in the Poconos The Poconos in northeastern Pennsylvania might conjure images of lazy lakeside lounging and hiking around hemlock-scented forests, but this area has much more to offer than just warm-weather pursuits. Come winter, Camelback Ski Resort in Tannersville provides a highly suitable set of conditions for all kinds of snow-themed activities.
The largest ski area in the Poconos, Camelback is home to 33 trails and 13 lifts, all lighted to allow for night skiing. This resort is capable of hauling 18,600 people up the mountain per hour, it receives 50 inches of snowfall per year, and to make sure everything is as satisfactory as possible, snowmakers take care of filling in the blanks with all the fresh powdery stuff it takes for true ski-worthiness.
And skiing isn't the only thing to do; snowboarding has taken the spotlight as the hottest new activity at Camelback. Take lessons if you've never done it before, and then try your hand at riding the specially designed half-pipe. You'll feel the joy of being on the cutting edge of adventure sports as you zoom back down to earth from atop the coolest of boards. Snow tubing is also a fun thrill ride, so be sure to visit the designated tubing zone if you've always wanted to try this giggle-inducing activity.
In addition to gear rental shops and ski schools, you'll also have access to a nursery here at Camelback. This means that the munchkins of the group will stay happy and supervised while the big kids and adults are enjoying the snowy landscape. You'll find everything to be set up for your convenience here, so feel free to leave your cares behind.
When you're not barreling your way through the snow drifts, you'll find the surrounding offerings of Camelback to be just as engaging as your outdoor adventures. Plenty of restaurants will entice you to break your normal-day diet, and a number of outlet stores and specialty shops will certainly turn up a few great souvenirs. Whether you're traveling with a big group or just that special someone, the available options will be more than acceptable.
One factor you might not have considered yet is lodging. You'd like to stay somewhere close to the hustle and bustle of the ski slopes, but don't want to give up your fiercely guarded privacy. Vacation is about seeing new things and new people, of course, but at the end of the day you'd like a quiet space to enjoy your companions without any annoying distractions.
If this is the case, then consider renting a vacation home for your Camelback trip. You'll find dozens of options to choose from, as you're not the only one who values peace and quiet along with your traveling. A wooden-floored, rustically decorated cabin near all the hotspots you'll want to visit sounds like a good start, and the master bedroom with private deck makes it all the more appealing. A large kitchen and eating area will invite family bonding, and a game room with a poker table and foosball will be practically too fun to be true.
It'll be a nice change of pace to let everyone do their own thing on their own schedule after a long day out in the invigorating weather. Whether that entails taking a nap in the back bedroom, watching a movie on the couch, or taking a steamy bubble bath, everyone in your group will be in a good mood. Don't be surprised if at the end of the night you all end up back together again in the family room, perhaps in front of a roaring fire with cups of cocoa in hand.
Many rentals welcome long-term visitors, so if you've been planning to really get away from civilization for a while, this would be a smart choice. And, taking into consideration current gas prices, some property owners are even offering discounts to counterbalance the high cost of traveling.
All in all, renting a vacation property will be a unique experience for you and yours, so don't hesitate to go online to reserve a Camelback Vacation Rental to elevate your next vacation to higher ground.

Resorts in The Poconos
How to Find Cheap Resorts in the Poconos
There are many fun things to do in the Poconos like skiing and snowboarding, horseback riding, canoeing, or whitewater rafting. Choosing which resort you'll stay in will depend on whether you'll be traveling a couple or a family. What you like to do will play a large part in your decision making, too.
Before you begin your search for cheap resorts in the Poconos, the first thing you'll want to do is assess your budget.
Go to the Internet and begin your search.
Establish a price range and look for resorts with rates that stay within your range. Take into account that weekend rates tend to run a little higher than midweek rates. If packages are available during the time you're planning to stay and could save you some money, take advantage of the one that meets your needs.
Accept that you may have to sacrifice certain amenities in order to get the better rates.
If you decide to go through a site like Kayak.com, check with the resort you choose to find out if they will allow you to cancel reservations made through an outside vendor. Some won't.
Some resorts, like the Mountain Laurel Resort & Spa, can charge $115 per night for a midweek stay and $135 per night for a weekend visit. If you take advantage of their Splash and Stay package and travel in a group of four or more, you could end up paying as little as $84.50 per night for a suite. If that's cheap for you, then you might want to start making your reservations early. If your budget can't support a stay at the Mountain Laurel Resort & Spa, you might want to try Ehrhardt's Waterfront Resort. Depending on what time of year you visit and whether you stay during the week or over the weekend, you could pay as little as $67 per night.
Like most resorts, Ehrhardt's offers a variety of packages, such as the Valentine's Package or the St. Patrick's Package. These packages are far from cheap, though, your best bet to save money will be to go with the straight, per night room rates. Remember to avoid couples only resorts if you plan on traveling as a family.
You are more likely to find cheap hotels in the Poconos than you are to find cheap resorts. The Budget Inn and Suites, for example charges under $80 per night and they offer special packages like their Bed and Breakfast package or the Family Package or the Ski and Stay Package. With the Family Package, you could pay as little as $20.93 per person on a non-holiday, non-weekend trip.
The Poconos have several resorts that cater to a variety of tastes. Doing a little research may indeed help you find some cheap resorts in the Poconos.

If packages are available during the time you're planning to stay and could save you some money, take advantage of the one that meets your needs.
Accept that you may have to sacrifice certain amenities in order to get the better rates.
If you decide to go through a site like Kayak.com, check with the resort you choose to find out if they will allow you to cancel reservations made through an outside vendor. Some won't.
Some resorts, like the Mountain Laurel Resort & Spa, can charge $115 per night for a midweek stay and $135 per night for a weekend visit. If you take advantage of their Splash and Stay package and travel in a group of four or more, you could end up paying as little as $84.50 per night for a suite. If that's cheap for you, then you might want to start making your reservations early. If your budget can't support a stay at the Mountain Laurel Resort & Spa, you might want to try Ehrhardt's Waterfront Resort. Depending on what time of year you visit and whether you stay during the week or over the weekend, you could pay as little as $67 per night.
Like most resorts, Ehrhardt's offers a variety of packages, such as the Valentine's Package or the St. Patrick's Package. These packages are far from cheap, though, your best bet to save money will be to go with the straight, per night room rates. Remember to avoid couples only resorts if you plan on traveling as a family.
You are more likely to find cheap hotels in the Poconos than you are to find cheap resorts. The Budget Inn and Suites, for example charges under $80 per night and they offer special packages like their Bed and Breakfast package or the Family Package or the Ski and Stay Package. With the Family Package, you could pay as little as $20.93 per person on a non-holiday, non-weekend trip.
The Poconos have several resorts that cater to a variety of tastes. Doing a little research may indeed help you find some cheap resorts in the Poconos.

Bushkill Falls, Often referred to as the "Niagara of Pennsylvania," is a series of eight waterfalls and is one of Pennsylvania's most scenic attractions. It is nestled in the wooded Pocono Mountains and is accessible through hiking trails. This picturesque area is most impressive with views of the waterfalls and wooded areas.
Bushkill Falls provides people of all ages with an opportunity to experience the beauty of Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains.

To give an example the green trail takes about 15 minutes to walk while the red trail is almost 2 miles will take about 2 hours and you will see all 8 falls. It is however only a short distance to viewing the towering 100 ft Main Falls from the primary observation deck.
The trails are designed to appeal to different skill levels and ages. The trails are well marked and they are kept in good condition. There are however many steep stairs, and bridges especially around the falls. There are many benches on the trails for those who need to rest. The shorter trails are suggested for those hiking with small children while longer trails would be more intermediate level and better for older children.
If you are concerned about your abilities or hiking with small children then talk to them and they will advise as to the trail that best suits you. No matter which trail you choose you will enjoy the natural mountain beauty.
Make sure you wear comfortable sneakers or hiking boots to walk the natural pathways. Don't forget your camera and/or video camera you will want pictures of the beautiful scenery. You might also want to consider binoculars.

There is ample free parking.
