Looking for nice park near Wilkes-Barre,PA

Most of the campgrounds are 30 miles away. Probably not what you're looking for.

Has a write up on the onsite camping which might work for you.
Just don't bet the MH!
Good luck

There is Frances Slocum State Park about 12 +/- miles from the casino. Frances Slocum S.P.

An easy drive. Google Map

We've overnighted at Mohegan Sun. It was okay, no problems.
But, I wouldn't want to spend a few nights there...... My wife would have bet the RV. :E

Thank you for the responses. Maybe I will boondock in the lot and find a park on the way back to CT with full hookups for dumping purposes.

If you are looking for a campground, there is a decent one at exit 53 off 84 in Pa just before you cross the Delaware river into NY...Tri-State campground...bottom of ramp, straight thru light and down the road pass Home Depot to the end...normally you can see it from 84 as you go past...OR..if you just want a dump area....there is one in the rest area coming into Ct on 84

Francis Slocum would be the closest state park but there are others like Tobyhanna,Hickory Run and Promised Land.Promised Land has full hookups in their Pickeral Point campground.
