For Large RVs
Big rigs are welcome here.
We know traveling with a large RV brings its own challenges — so we designed the resort with you in mind. Here are the most big-rig-friendly sites and the smartest routes to get here.
Plan With Confidence
Designed for the big ones.
Thank you for your interest in bringing your big-rig RV to The Woods Camping Resort. We understand the factors that make traveling with a large RV more challenging, and we've taken that into account across the resort.
If you have a concern that isn't addressed here — or advice on what we should add — please reach out to our Guest Services team.

Room to Maneuver The Best Picks
Campsites that are big-rig friendly.
Every site below has full amenities — water, sewer, cable TV, electric (15/30/50 amps), plus a picnic table and fire ring.
Site 81
Designed with big rigs in mind. A wide site with a concrete pad and some tree cover, angled perfectly for smooth backing in.
Sites 82–89
Similar to Site 81, with open sky for satellite reception.
Sites 100, 101, 135 & 136
Pull-through sites with easy in/out accessibility.
Sites 102 & 103
Pull-through sites; additional leveling may be necessary due to the contour of the terrain.
Sites 169–171
Easy access with a wide road — but note the max depth. These sites have open sky for satellite reception.
Sites 32 & 60
These sites have narrow roads, so additional care in maneuvering will be necessary.
Site 31
A pull-through site, but the entrance and exit are narrow and can be difficult to maneuver if adjacent sites are occupied.

Traveling to The Woods
Route tips for big-rig operators.
Even though The Woods is rural, the majority of roads leading here are modern and well kept. The roads closest to the resort have no shoulders, but are wide enough that you won't have to pull off to let anyone pass.
From the South
Philadelphia, South Jersey, Delaware, Baltimore, DC: You'll likely travel north on 476 (PA Turnpike). The only precautions are within the last mile. Google will advise our original entrance (Vaughn Acres Lane), but please use our newer entrance, Woods Way. Take Pine Run to Owl Creek to Hemlock to Forest to Woods Way. See Map B.
From the North
Scranton / Wilkes-Barre: You'll likely use 476 (PA Turnpike) south. If your GPS advises the EZ-Pass-only Exit 87 onto Route 903, you can exit there only if you have EZ-Pass — but be advised there's a steep road (8% gradient for one mile) with curves along Maury Rd, plus a half-mile gravel stretch along Forest St. If a steep decline doesn't make you nervous, it's the shorter route.
Alternatively, stay on the turnpike to the next exit (74), then follow the normal route within the last mile. Again, use Woods Way rather than Vaughn Acres Lane. From Route 209, use Harrity to Pohopoco to Pine Run to Owl Creek to Hemlock to Forest to Woods Way. See Map A.
From the East
North Jersey, NYC on Route 80: Coming through the Delaware Water Gap, you'll have no issues except where Route 209 South narrows to two lanes and slows. To stay on highway as much as possible, do not exit Route 80 at Route 209 / Route 33 South — instead stay on Route 80 until it meets 476 (PA Turnpike) and continue with the "From the North" directions above.
If you stick with Route 209 South to save miles, do not take the turn onto Hemlock St that GPS suggests — for big rigs it's more than a 90-degree turn into the opposing lane (a blind spot) onto an immediate upslope. Instead, stay on Beltzville Drive when GPS says to turn onto Station St, then take Beltzville Drive to Pine Run to Owl Creek to Hemlock to Forest to Woods Way. See Map C.
Central Jersey, NYC on Route 78: Take the PA Turnpike (476 North) to Exit 74. The only precautions are within the last mile — use Woods Way, taking Pine Run to Owl Creek to Hemlock to Forest to Woods Way. See Map B.
From the West
Harrisburg / Lancaster on Route 78: Take the PA Turnpike (476 North) to Exit 74, then follow the last-mile route via Pine Run to Owl Creek to Hemlock to Forest to Woods Way. See Map B.
Pittsburgh, State College, Bloomsburg on Route 80: Travel Route 80 East and take the PA Turnpike (476 South), then continue with the "From the North" directions above.
