1 campground with availability this weekend
Lums Pond State Park Campground in Bear, Delaware houses upscale yurt accommodations just 30 miles from White Hall, Maryland. The spacious yurts provide a perfect balance of outdoor immersion and comfort, complete with electricity, heating, and easy access to the park's extensive trail system. Nearby, Susquehanna State Park Campground offers glamping options with full amenities including comfortable beds, climate control, and dedicated outdoor spaces for relaxation. The Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA adds another luxury camping option with premium glamping tents featuring real beds and private decks. These accommodations are ideal for travelers seeking outdoor experiences without sacrificing comfort. One recent visitor noted, "The sites are large and the whole campground is very open. There is a small camp store with the essentials and very clean bath and shower facilities."
The surrounding area boasts remarkable outdoor recreation opportunities centered around these glamping resorts. Guests at Lums Pond can enjoy kayaking and canoeing on the expansive pond, with one reviewer describing it as "perfect for kayaking or canoeing." Tuckahoe State Park, though slightly farther at about an hour's drive, provides another glamping destination with proximity to excellent hiking trails and water activities. French Creek State Park features yurt accommodations within its wooded setting, offering a more secluded luxury outdoor stay experience. According to a camper, "The bathroom facilities and laundry are clean and modern. There are separate, individual shower rooms. Great for outdoor activities." Most glamping sites in the region are open seasonally from spring through fall, with a few offering year-round availability, making advance reservations essential during peak summer months.
"The site itself was set back some, and felt secluded while still being near the parking area. Walk to bathrooms and camp store was on the longer side."
"The tent sites are nice in that they are tucked along the wood line slightly away from RVs with more privacy and shade."

"A beautiful, well maintained park with lots to do, great bathroom facilities and extremely nice people."
"I was a walk-up with no reservation and since it was a weekday the ranger gave me a great rundown of the best spots in the camp and let me drive through to check them out before going back with my decision"
from $21 - $50 / night
"It’s a clean, well kept space, completely surrounded by state forest, very close to shore access along the rivers/bay, hiking/biking trails right out of the campground."
"We stayed here in November with beautiful weather which meant the large farm behind the campground was spraying manure over their fields. We could smell it."
"Staff is always friendly and the store well stocked. Kids enjoy the water park and nigh time laser tag parties and hay rides. "
"There is a nice, short nature trail which was nice to walk our dog and she enjoyed getting wet in the river. The campground is hilly which means that a fair number of sites are not level."
"I did have major trouble backing in because the road is too narrow for a 45’ motorhome to back in on a nearly 90-degree angle."
from $59 - $86 / night
"No pets though. B and C loop felt like the spaces were very close to each other. A loop was closed at this point."
"Got there at 11pm and the D loop says no pets allowed."

"This is a nice KOA with full hook ups, tent sites,cabins, and even glamping cabins. There is a pool that is open Memorial Day- Labor Day."
"I arrived on a Tuesday a few days after they closed the pool, and by Wednesday I had the whole row of tent sites to myself."
"Parking pads on the electric loop are asphalt.
- There's very finely crushed rock on the non-electric loop. This includes the parking pad and tent pad."
"Small by some State Park standards, Tuckahoe offers two loops: a tent/cabin site, and an electric site for RVs. The sites are well maintained."
from $21 - $70 / night
"We stayed at one of the primitive tent sites with no hookups adjacent to the farm field. Watching a horse drawn equipment cutting grass while we cooked dinner was a joy."
"The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire."
"They are new-ish Shasta campers, queen bed, 1 slide, rear bunks, 2 entrances. Very clean. Water area is great, splash pad is very fun so is the large blow up slide and pool area."
"We stayed fathers day weekend and they had a breakfast, games and crafts geared towards it."
TravelerCountry Acres is a lovely, well maintained campground. Sites are level and bath house facilities clean and modern. Friendly staff in the office. Dog friendly. Local to all the Lancaster attractions. A complimentary farmland tour is offered by bus and it was great. They take you out into an area of Amish farms and shops and make a stop at 2 of these. The fresh Amish pretzels are amazing!
ScoutThe advertisements for Olde Mill Campground were disingenuous. The campsite was 20 yards from a roller coaster. The NOISE of the roller coaster and children on it screaming was as relentless and unnerving as any train we have ever slept near. There was no quiet until almost midnight. The “pull-through” site left my truck almost in the road and our 25’ Airstream slightly over the road on the backside. The site was not level. The sites were close enough to hear a neighbor’s snoring.
ScoutThe campground is in excellent condition. The facilities are top notch. The excellence and care of the campground is evident. The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire.
ScoutFirst time at this campground really like it a lot will be returning. The bathrooms are always clean. The grounds are always kept up. Just a really nice place to stay. Most of the sites have some kind of shade.
GuideA beautiful, well maintained park with lots to do, great bathroom facilities and extremely nice people. The electric sites aren't all together, so you don't have RV's lined up but maybe annoying for folks who are tent camping. Avoid the locations in the mid-30's by the dumpster, both staff and campers start shaking the lid around 6:30. Between 5 AM and noon staff were driving big trucks and ATV's around with loud reverse horns, and slamming the fire pit grills, which they store sideways. Overall I had a really wonderful time, but that's largely down to good sound reduction inside the van. Almost zero cell service. I was able to get a couple of text messages in and out, but seemed to be a fluke.
LegendWe spent a weekend at French Creek State Park as our home base for the Chester County Balloon Festival. We stayed for 2 nights at a full-hookup paved site, which ran us $55.25 per night.
WHAT I LIKED:
Peace& Quiet: The state park itself was lovely, serene, and felt nice and spacious.
Prime Location: At just 30 minutes away from the balloon festival, this is the closest campground.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:
The"Leveling" Challenge: We were at site#C-241, which had a pretty significant slope. It took a few boards under the rear wheels and fully extended jacks just to get us anywhere near level.
Tight Fit for Big Rigs: Even though there was plenty of open space behind our site, the actual driveway pad was too short to comfortably fit our motorhome and Jeep together. Compared to other state parks we’ve visited, the interior roads and layouts felt a bit on the tight side.
WOULD WE COME BACK?
LegendOverall, this is a nice, small (about 65 sites) state park with plenty of recreational opportunities inside the park. There is nice separation between sites so you don’t feel like you are on top of your neighbor. Tall trees are scattered about which provide shade at some sites but overall, the park is pretty open. Roads getting to the park are easy to navigate with any size RV. Within the park, roads are paved and free of potholes and there are no low hanging branches. Since the roads are one-way they are not very wide so backing in big-rigs can be a little tight and you might have to run over the grass.
All RV sites are full hook-up and there is a separate area for tents and there is one canvas yurt for rent. The tent sites are nice in that they are tucked along the wood line slightly away from RVs with more privacy and shade. The only downside is that they are pretty far away from the centrally located bathroom and showers. The bathroom has separate rooms for showers which is nice and private. They were tended to daily and very clean. Also, located in the center of the campground is a playground, camp store and laundry. The dumpsters and recycle bins are located in a separate area on the way out of the campground and were frequently full and overflowing. Campsites are paved and some have wide enough that the patio is paved but others have a narrow pad for the RV and gravel patio. We discovered that most sites are level but a few are not (like 22 and 24). The campground is very clean and camp hosts were diligent about picking up trash and cleaning out fire pits every day.
Across the pond (north of the campground) is where most of the amenities are located such as concessions, ball fields, horseshoe pits, disk golf, and more. For those wanting to fish there is a pier in the campground and a self-serve vending machine with bait in it. There are additional fishing piers located in other parts of the park and there are boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards for rent. We stopped in at the Nature Center but it was a bust– just a few taxidermy specimens and not much information. One of the most popular areas of the park is Go Ape which is a ropes/zip line course through the canopy (which does require admission fee). There are nice trails that leave right from the campground– some 17 miles in all. There is a boat launch about a quarter mile from the campground entrance which is suitable for trailerable boats and paddle craft but there are no docks so you can’t leave your boat tied up there. There is an off-leash dog area but it is located far from the campground so it’s best to drive.
ScoutBathrooms are clean and staff is nice
TravelerThe camp site was amazing. Everything is neat and clean and really beautiful place so quiet.

The region sits at the northern edge of Maryland's Piedmont plateau, with forested terrain that transitions between rolling hills and small valleys. Summer temperatures typically range from 65-85°F with moderate humidity, making spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons.
Kayaking on Tuckahoe Creek: Launch between sites 46 and 48 at Tuckahoe State Park Campground, which connects to Tuckahoe Lake where motorized boats aren't permitted. "There's lots to do. We made a list of sites we'd fit in and still have room to use the firepit and our stuff," notes one visitor.
Disc golf course: French Creek State Park features a wooded course that adds challenge to the game. "There is a frisbee golf course in the woods to make it even more interesting and competitive. The trees definitely make it harder," according to a regular visitor.
Fishing opportunities: Try your luck at either of the two lakes at French Creek State Park Campground where you can catch "northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish." One camper mentioned, "Ice fishing is also allowed at both lakes and the ice thickness is monitored."
Horseback riding: Bring your own horse to access designated equestrian trails throughout French Creek State Park. The park has "trails for mountain biking or hiking, a frisbee golf course, playground at the campground and at the lake, and an amphitheater at the campground where they hold events."
Spacious sites: Susquehanna State Park Campground receives praise for its layout. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," reports one visitor. Another camper noted the "site was very shaded, and probably the most secluded feel of anywhere we've camped."
Clean facilities: Bathhouses are consistently mentioned as a positive feature. At Tuckahoe State Park, "The bathhouse is very clean. If you stay on the tent side there is a kayak launch. The sites are laid out in a circle with the bathhouse in the center." Another reviewer called the bathrooms "the cleanest I've ever seen, especially since we stayed in the hottest time of the year."
Quiet atmosphere: Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA offers peace despite its proximity to urban areas. "The park is clean, quiet, full of families.

Reservation requirements: Advanced booking is essential, especially for glamping close to White Hall, Maryland. For Lums Pond: "Book early because it fills up fast!" One visitor shared, "I understand why it is so difficult to get a reservation at Lums Pond. I don't know if it's the host campers or the management, but they're definitely doing something right."
Site selection matters: Research specific sites before booking. At Tuckahoe State Park, one camper warned: "We booked site 21, blind. The web site does not say site 21 is extremely small. We have a 25' camper, and it barely fit, length and with were an issue. The firepit was about 3-4 feet from our door."
Limited connectivity: Cell service varies at these campgrounds. Tuckahoe State Park is described as a "Quiet state park with limited cell reception. Truly off the map camping." At Tucquan Park, a visitor noted "The campground WiFi does not reach the primitive sites and I had 0 cell/GPS service on the entire premises (my carrier is AT&T)."
Child-friendly activities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Quarryville specializes in family entertainment. "This park is all for the kids. This will be our second year going. So much to do for the kids. Our first year we did a birthday package where they brought a cake to the camp with Booboo for my daughter."
Playground options: Susquehanna State Park offers good play areas. "Great place. Have camped here twice now. Nice playground for the kids and plenty of park events to keep you busy. Took a nice hike out to the susquehanna and spent a few hours fishing in the pond."
Budget considerations: Luxury glamping near White Hall comes at a premium. At Jellystone Park: "This is a nice KOA with full hook ups, tent sites, cabins, and even glamping cabins. There is a pool that is open Memorial Day-Labor Day. They also have a catch and release pond."
Distance to amenities: At Tucquan Park Family Campground, one visitor notes: "It's about a 15/20 minute drive to any sort of grocery or liquor store so we wished the camp store had more to offer." This is important for family meal planning.
Hookup availability: Lums Pond offers complete services. "Sites are big and all were redone in the last few years with concrete pads, 30 amp service and full sewer. There are some equestrian and tent sites as well."
Site dimensions: Check site specifications for larger rigs. At Tuckahoe State Park, "I watched people with 25+ footers struggle to back into the sites." Another camper warned, "If you go to Tuckahoe don't reserve site 21 unless you're tent camping!!!"
Pad construction: At French Creek, "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze." This feature makes glamping near White Hall, Maryland more accessible for those with larger vehicles or those seeking easier setup.
Seasonal limitations: Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA has variable operating schedules: "This does close for winter and reopens in April but call park for exact closure dates because they do change."
