RV travel guide
Monroe County
County seat Stroudsburg, 611 sq mi across Pennsylvania. Everything an RV traveler should read before rolling in — where you can boondock, the roads worth the detour, and the local rule that actually matters.
The county in brief
A traveler's read on Monroe County
Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area at 70,000 acres holds the only NPS-managed Class III whitewater rafting on the East Coast — the Delaware River through the gap drops 40 ft per mile through Pennsylvania-Pocono ridge cuts, attracting 1M+ paddlers annually per NPS visitor counts.
Monroe County wraps the Pocono Mountains' eastern slopes, the Camelback Resort area (the largest indoor water park in the United States), and the Delaware Water Gap entrance at the New Jersey line. Worthington State Forest (NJ side, accessible via I-80) holds the largest RV-friendly campground in the NRA. Mt. Pocono and the Big Pocono SP overlook accept rigs to 35 ft.
