Delaware Water Gap - Pocono Mountain KOA
Overview
The Delaware Water Gap - Pocono Mountain KOA provides a well-rounded camping experience nestled in the heart of the Pocono Mountains. As a Holiday-rated KOA, this park bridges the gap between a rustic forest retreat and a full-service resort. Travelers will find a manicured landscape designed for comfort, featuring diverse accommodation options ranging from spacious full-hookup RV sites to cozy deluxe cabins. It serves as a premier basecamp for exploring the scenic beauty of Northeastern Pennsylvania while maintaining a focus on family-centric recreation and convenience.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in East Stroudsburg, the park is ideally positioned near the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The surrounding landscape is defined by lush forests, rolling hills, and the proximity of the Delaware River. The atmosphere is peaceful yet accessible, located just a short drive from major regional highways. Guests can enjoy the tranquility of the Pocono Mountain foothills, where the changing seasons offer vibrant fall foliage and refreshing mountain air during the summer months.
Amenities & Park Features
The amenities here are designed to keep every member of the family entertained. On-site highlights include a heated swimming pool, a gravity rail track, and a gem mining station for children. The park is highly pet-friendly, offering a dedicated KampK9 dog park for four-legged travelers. Practical features are equally robust, featuring a well-stocked general store, laundry facilities, and reliable Wi-Fi. Many sites offer premium upgrades, such as concrete patios and fire rings, ensuring a comfortable outdoor living space for those traveling in large rigs.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts are spoiled for choice with attractions like Bushkill Falls, often called the Niagara of Pennsylvania, located just minutes away. The Delaware River provides endless opportunities for rafting, canoeing, and fishing. Hikers can access portions of the Appalachian Trail or explore the numerous overlooks within the National Recreation Area. During the winter, the nearby Shawnee Mountain Ski Area offers downhill thrills, while local charming towns provide boutique shopping and historic tours throughout the year.
Who This Park Is Best For
This KOA is an excellent match for active families looking for a resort-style stay with plenty of scheduled activities and playgrounds. It also appeals to big-rig owners who prioritize easy navigation and high-quality hookups in a mountainous setting. While it offers a sense of escape, its proximity to major regional attractions makes it ideal for travelers who want to balance wilderness exploration with modern conveniences and local sightseeing opportunities.

This was the first stop of our long roadtrip with our camper and I’m so glad! It is right outside the Deleware Water Gap NP. It is a little tricky to get to, they give directions and we of course didn’t follow them so that’s our own fault haha. However pulling into the campground there is a steep decline and we did drag our weight distribution hitch quite a bit. That’s never happened anywhere so we were surprised. The woman at the front desk was absolutely lovely to chat with and the campground itself is really nice. We had a great pull through spot and walked over to the playground to play. The equipment is older but it’s fine. We loved the guinea hen and turkey hanging around that really made the experience unique. We would absolutely come back!

We have been camping at different locations for over eleven years, we've always had good customer service from every campground we've been to, but I have to say that the office staff here goes above and beyond. They were more than happy to accommodate a request that we had that was important to us. We arrived at night, so did not get to see the entire campground but I was able to check out the playground with all the kids having a blast. I also had the opportunity to use the restroom and I have to say it was the cleanest restroom/ shower building I have ever been to in a campground. I would recommend this campground to anyone, we enjoyed a few days of rest and relaxation which is what we needed. Kudos to KOA Shawnee!

We had a cabin with full bath kitchenette, very clean and cozy, the cabin had a beautiful porch to sit and relax with coffee in the morning. Our visit was in October, so Halloween festivities were in full swing! Decorations everywhere, you are invited to decorate to win a contest. In the evening a hayride to their haunted trail, which was VERY impressive! Trick or treating during day. This campground is spotless, there are so many activities for all!! Add their friendly helpful staff. 5 stars all the way!!

I think this makes our 5th time at this KOA over about 7 years. Loved it each time. You sit nestled in a valley being able to see fall colors, and this time of year (we had not realized) they run a halloween competition for campsites. The facilities are good, with lots to do for kids. If it matters, we have been here with a pop-up, small off-road travel trailer and now a Medium travel trailer. Plenty of options and lots of pull throughs. In general, what I love about KOA's is consistency, whilst also having unique setups. The fun of camping!

Stayed at this KOA this past weekend. The location is beautiful. We loved the sites we had: it was tent sites with water and electric. We were pretty close to the bathrooms. Mini golf, pickleball and volley ball area, and the live music was so much fun! The only issue we really had is the gravel of the tent site made it hard to set up one of our tents that needed to be staked into the ground. Staff was so nice and our sites when we arrived , bathroom, and common areas were clean. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends and family.

The owner and staff at the campground were nice and accommodating. They made our stay on a thunderstorm night super cozy and worry-free. The facilities are clean. Kids love the playground and tent camping. The camp ground is located just a short drive (3 min) away from the Shawnee Ski resort, so super convenient during Ski season. Will definitely come back and highly recommend to all.

This was the first place we went when we bought our camper. The friendship we felt when we walk into the office was amazing. We were given a site that was absolutely beautiful as recommended by the owner Elisa. She was spot on! We decided to come back and due to some eye surgeries going on I had to cancel my reservation for Oct. 14. Elisa was so gracious and her calm voice helped make my reservation painless. Now on to eye surgery knowing I don't have to worry about whether my reservation was cancelled or not. Thank You Elisa for making my day, my week and experience delightful. Keep up the great work!
