Best Places to Camp near Mount Holly, New Jersey
Camping options around Mount Holly, New Jersey include several established campgrounds within a 30-40 mile radius, primarily in neighboring Pennsylvania and central New Jersey. Mountainview Campground in Little York and Ringing Rocks Family Campground in Upper Black Eddy offer mixed-use sites accommodating tents, RVs, and cabin rentals. Most campgrounds in the region provide electric hookups, water access, and basic amenities like picnic tables and fire rings. Colonial Woods Family Resort and Nockamixon State Park Cabins expand the accommodation options with glamping facilities alongside traditional camping sites. Mount Holly campers can find suitable campgrounds for weekend getaways or extended stays across various price points and amenity levels.
Seasonal operation affects most campgrounds in the area, with many facilities operating from April through October. Round Valley Recreation Area and Spruce Run Recreation Area both operate within this timeframe, restricting access during winter months. The terrain varies from forested settings to more open, maintained grounds with different levels of privacy between sites. Roads within campgrounds are sometimes challenging for larger vehicles, particularly at facilities like Colonial Woods. A visitor noted, "If we still had our smaller travel trailer this review would've been at least 4 stars. However this place is not the place for you if you have a fifth wheel. The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides."
Campground environments across the region range from family-focused resorts to more natural settings. Many facilities maintain swimming pools, playgrounds, and organized activities, particularly during summer weekends and holidays. Tent campers frequently mention the varying quality of tent sites, with some campgrounds clearly prioritizing RV accommodation. "Very clean campground, clean bathrooms and showers. However, if you're tent camping the bathrooms are FAR," reported one camper at Ringing Rocks Family Campground. Several reviewers highlighted natural attractions near camping areas, particularly the unique Ringing Rocks County Park where visitors can create metallic sounds by striking the rocks with hammers. For those seeking more privacy, parks like Tohickon Valley County Park offer more secluded sites compared to the sometimes crowded layouts of commercially operated campgrounds.

Tobyhanna State Park Campground
really clean and easy to get around, kinda crammed :/
we loved both of our stays here! it was mine and my partner’s first time camping and we had a great experience. the layout was really nice, and easy to get to. the bathrooms were really close to walk to and VERY clean! the only issue we faced was the closeness of the other campsites. we went during off season and during the week, so it didn’t really affect us but i can see how this place can get crowded and a little noisy during peak season. with all the being said, it was WONDERFUL!! we LOVED the late checkout (3pm) and loved the peaceful atmosphere! i would definitely recommend this place for beginner campers!

A Hidden Gem in the Woods: Edgemere Flag Ridge Site 11 Review
Pulling into Site 11 at Edgemere Flag Ridge feels like discovering a hidden campsite that most people pass right by. The site sits comfortably off the beaten path, giving it a secluded feel without being difficult to reach. Access was easy and any standard vehicle should have no trouble getting in. Traffic on the adjoining road was minimal, which added to the quiet atmosphere.
Amenities are basic, consisting of a picnic table and fire ring, so do not expect much beyond the essentials. That said, the surrounding woods made up for it with plenty of easy to gather firewood nearby, which was a refreshing change from some other public sites.
At night, the sky opened up nicely for stargazing and made for a peaceful camping experience. Cell service was intermittent, enough to occasionally check in if needed but spotty enough to still feel disconnected. If you are looking for a quiet, simple campsite with a sense of seclusion and easy access, this one is worth considering.

Clean, convenient
We stopped here overnight on our way down south. Very convenient location, nice large lawn with beautiful tall shade trees, bathroom was extremely clean and you can see were just recently renovated. They had a pool and some basic playground equipment. Pet friendly. You have to enter the camping area by driving through an RV and truck storage area first. We would stay here again .

Silver Lake near Little Bush kill Creek
Stayed at Silver Lake for a two night camping trip and overall had a solid experience, with a few drawbacks.
The campsite itself is decent in size and easy to set up on, but it’s located along a fairly active road. Expect a couple vehicles per hour, including louder trucks, which takes away from the secluded feel. There are also signs the area may have been used for roadwork dumping in the past, with some leftover blacktop visible.
That said, the site works well for a functional camp. Plenty of nearby downed wood for fires, and the area has a good “working camp” feel if you don’t mind putting in a little effort. We had no issue gathering firewood and keeping a fire going, even after rain.
Weather was rainy for most of the trip, but a simple canopy setup made it manageable. The site drains reasonably well and didn’t turn into a mess.
Wildlife wise, ticks were present, so plan accordingly with repellent and checks.
We also had a brief visit from a forest ranger checking on smoke in the area. Interaction was professional and quick.
Overall, this is a good spot if you’re looking for a straightforward, no frills campsite and don’t mind some road noise. If you’re prioritizing privacy and a true backwoods feel, you may want to explore other sites in Delaware State Forest.

Great Campsite!
I've hiked the A.T. through New Jersey, and this is probably my favorite NJ A.T. campsite. The only downside is that there is no water, so depending on which way you come in (nobo or sobo), you'll have to collect water before you get here from either Sunfish Pond, or one of the streams before the climb up here. There are 2 privies, one newer, and also a great spot to watch the sunset. Plenty of campsites, and during peak season there is a caretaker on site.

Sun Retreats Lancaster County - Easter Weekend
Like always we like to begin our camping season with a Easter Weekend Trip, my husband's family is partial to the Lancaster Area, so we headed there to Sun Retreats Lancaster. As we drove up I loved the look and location of the campground. You could see there was a indoor pool setup, arcade, playground, store, ice cream, mini-golf and a huge lake and that was everything we saw from the truck. We pulled up to a gate and a guy came out of the shed next to it to check us in.
The campground looked well maintained, the sports were on both sides of the lake and they offered many different options like woods or open, pull through or back up. We choose a really wooded site. It was tight getting in but I can't complain I don't drive the truck. It seemed like there was a fair amount of seasonal sites but they didn't overwhelm the place. I could see also a lot of cabins there were some shaped like teepees, a frontier cabin, and a caboose. They had a fair amount of open grass to play and enjoy. You can bring your own golfcart or they have on site rentals also.
They had an activity list that would help keep everyone busy, they had a mini golf course that was in great shape, an arcade which was definitely lacking in the game department, I think there was 4 pinball machines, 2 Skee ball, 3 racing games, and the play to you win machine. The playground x2 were both in great condition with a lot to keep kids playing on. I can only comment on the indoor pool which at the time was said to be under construction however still open, the water was on the colder side and the hot tube the same temp as the pool, the ceiling had been ripped off so the iron rusting beams were exposed and rust falling down. The kids still went in the pool unfortunately the air from the open window made them too cold so we didn't stay long. I am hoping it will be finished because the concept of the indoor-outdoor pool area looks so fun.
The staff was extremely helpful and super friendly. The store was fully stocked with everything you could want. The bathrooms were all kept so clean and in working order with hot water. We enjoyed the area we ventured out to see the Choo Choo barn, the green dragon flea market, and kitchen kettle village which are a must if your in the area. We also choose to hike the Welsh Preserve and Money Rock. The lake had a path you could walk completely around and you could choose to fish if that's your thing.
I would definitely return to this campground again, we had 8 sites in total and we all really thought it was a wonderful place and really enjoyed our holiday weekend there. It was very busy but the staff was present but not overbearing. People were very respectful and friendly.

Shotwell
Great Winter Camping
We enjoyed our first winter camping trip in our travel trailer at Stokes State Forest! The Shotwell area has trailer/tent sites as well.as enclosed mini cabins (think lean-to but with 4 walls). The bathroom is heated and kept clean. Lots of trails to explore, including the Appalachian Trail nearby! Great experience, we'll be back!
Guide to Mount Holly
Camping sites near Mount Holly, New Jersey provide access to both Pennsylvania and New Jersey outdoor experiences, typically within 30-40 miles of town. These campgrounds sit in varied terrain ranging from 400-1,200 feet elevation, creating different camping microclimates throughout the region. Most camping facilities close between late October and early April due to seasonal temperature drops that average 25-35°F during winter nights.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Round Valley Recreation Area offers exceptional fishing in its 2,350-acre reservoir. "The water is crystal clear, the area is clean. There's bathrooms and pumps but we just filtered the water from the reservoir instead which tasted a million times better than the well water," notes camper James R.
Hammock relaxation: Nockamixon State Park Cabins provides ample trees for hanging out. "This is a great place to pitch a hammock and hang out for a few hours. They have a lot of land so it's easy to find a secluded spot to hang out away from paths and people!" shares Beatrice G.
Rock music making: Take a hammer to Ringing Rocks County Park near Ringing Rocks Family Campground. "We went to Ringing Rocks county park and the kids were having so much fun making music they didn't want to leave," says Justin B. The unusual rock formation creates metallic sounds when struck.
What campers like
Wildlife encounters: Mountainview Campground offers unexpected animal sightings. "Only shortly after we settled into our tent did we hear foxes fighting right outside our tent, the snorts of deer, and there were bats right above us all night making noise!" reports Christina H.
Water views: Many campers appreciate lakeside settings. "Our site was on the water and it was really nice. A duck visited us every morning," mentions Jules T. about her stay at Spruce Run Recreation Area.
Stargazing spots: Clear night skies are a highlight at multiple campgrounds. "Great spot for stargazing. Owners are very nice," notes Scott A. about his primitive site experience.
What you should know
Tent site limitations: Several campgrounds prioritize RV accommodations over tent sites. "The tent spots are very close together, and when we stayed the RV campers get really rowdy at night past quiet hours (10pm) which sucked having our 7 year old with us trying to sleep," warns a Ringing Rocks camper.
Bathroom conditions: Facilities vary widely across campgrounds. "The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. I thought with COVID they were cleaning them more, but for the entire weekend, someone's #2 remained all over the toilet, floor, and corner wall," reports a Spruce Run camper.
Reservation timing: Some campgrounds enforce strict arrival policies. "I reserved two nights, but the first night we were not going to be able to arrive until after 9. After talking to them, they would not allow us to come late, but did refund the first night," explains Kyhlea D.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access: Colonial Woods Family Resort offers water amenities for hot weather. "The pool and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times," notes Nicole S., though she mentions "the posted pool hours were not as described."
Playground options: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas. "We had a great weekend with a group site which was perfect for 6 campers. We went on Father's Day weekend and they had nice arts and crafts for the kids to do for dad," reports Shannon C.
Budget-friendly activities: Several parks organize free activities. "They did a few activities the one we did go to was the casino night where they had separate play areas for kids and adults. All the money made is donated to Shriners Children's Hospital which is awesome and the kids loved the candy and little prizes they won," shares a Colonial Woods visitor.
Tips from RVers
Road conditions: Narrow campground roads present challenges. "The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed (almost took my AC out with a huge limb)," warns Brian C. about Colonial Woods.
Site selection strategy: For unobstructed camping, choose carefully. "If bringing your RV, the safest bet is to reserve a spot with no shade as the other spots often times have very low hanging tree limbs," advises Douglas P. about Spruce Run.
Hook-up locations: Some parks offer strategic options. "There are some RV sites with water & electric which are not on the water, but in the parking lot. I would consider getting one on the water to enjoy the water and one in the parking lot to hook up the RV. It's kind of worth it," suggests Ruette W. about Tohickon Valley County Park.
