The campground sits three miles from the borough of Milford at the northern tip of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, with mountains and river frontage on every side.

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.

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.

DunRoamin On Peters Pond

9 RV Sites

DunRoamin on Peters Pond in Sandwich, Massachusetts, offers 9 full-hookup pull-through RV sites on Cape Cod, with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 42 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with a beach, boat ramp, boat docks, and pond frontage. Nine sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 42 feet, with picnic tables. Two things to check before booking: service is 50-amp throughout, so bring an adapter if your rig runs 30, and the 42-foot cap rules out larger coaches. One consistent spec and no guesswork. A laundry handles the practical side. A beach, boat ramp, and boat docks open the pond for boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with a playground, basketball, hiking, and biking filling the rest. The birding is productive and the stargazing is good. Pets are welcome. Peters Pond is one of Cape Cod's characteristic kettle ponds — formed by blocks of ice left behind when the glaciers retreated more than 10,000 years ago, and fed entirely by groundwater rather than streams. That gives it water clarity that surprises people expecting a typical New England pond, and it stays swimmable well into September when the ocean has cooled. Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod, founded in 1637, with the Sandwich Glass Museum, Heritage Museums and Gardens, and the boardwalk over the salt marsh all close. The Cape Cod Canal and its bike path are minutes away. Summer is decisively the season on the Cape. Reserve as early as you can for July and August.
