Pocono Mountain Fire Road Dispersed Sites
Dispersed Camping
A network of primitive camping spots along gated fire roads in the Delaware State Forest section of the Poconos. Sites range from small pull-offs for single rigs to larger clearings that can handle 4-5 vehicles. Natural fire rings are common but bring your own firewood. Area is popular with hunters in fall but sees little traffic otherwise.
Access roads are rough dirt with occasional rocky sections requiring high-clearance. Gates are typically open spring through fall but locked during hunting seasons — check current status. No water sources nearby, and cell coverage is minimal. Best used as a quiet basecamp for exploring the extensive trail network.
