I suspect your best bet is to contact each of your preferred states' tourism board. You can do that online or via toll free numbers generally. You'll find that most SP systems have some campgrounds with at least water/electricity hookups and less with water/electricity and sewer. You can also find local RV dealers that will set up the RV for you and at a additional fee empty your grey and black tanks plus refill the white. Of course they rent them as well. Great if your car/truck hasn't a towing system built in and you're trying out an RV experience for the first time. Since you like the Poconos and Lancaster, I'd suggest expanding your campsite search a bit and look in the Adirondack area of NYS as well; some similar landscape there. Basically, I'd just figure out how far I'd like to travel in one day's travel and then look for convenient highway systems.
Oh and finally be sure to know the reservation windows for places you want to visit. Waiting until the spring to reserve can mean you won't find a space w/ your criteria. For instance, I spend the 4th of July at a CT state park every year and booked my site for 2015 in August 2014. Currently there are no electric/ water sites left for that time frame and barely any no hookup sites. All the "upgraded" sites were booked the first 3 days the reservation period opened.
HTH and have fun.
