Best Campgrounds near Mount Holly, NJ

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.

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.

    AT Group Campsite near Lehigh Gap

    Good site for camping

    Camped here the night before doing Lehigh Gap, it was less than a mile from the parking at Blue Mountain Rd. (Official A.T. parking). The only downside was my sleeping pad sprung a leak, so it wasn't the best night's sleep. But the site itself was great and I would camp there again.

    Blue Rocks Family Campground

    Very nice but a little pricey.

    Been here many times always in the fall. Never been here in summer so have never used the pool. Great little store and small grill restaurant. The trails and the rocks are nice. Our site was very rocky and on an incline so hard to get the camper level. It was a “pop up/tent” site and we were in a small travel trailer so it’s understandable. Only criticism is the it’s very pricey for what you get. And there online booking system isn’t very accurate as it said they were sold out and there was many open sites all weekend. Would be much better it they made more sites have even basic electric.

    This is a have to stay campground

    Excellent stay. We spent 2 nights and had 2 sites. Big sites very quiet and the staff I’d exceptional. Even better is the amazing price!

    Homestead Campground

    Here for a week

    Beautiful park. Looks like only 2 of the spots are for campers, rest are full time residents. The farther back you go in the park the worse condition the rv are. At time of visit the closest bathroom was under repair, it happens. Aggravating issues: Dump station has no water. People walk their dogs right thru your camp site and then don’t pick up after them.

    But yea, beautiful place

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Hard with a large group

    Harder to do with a large group due to the early quiet hours, but park is very nice and well kept

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Dog owners read!

    There’s four loops. All connected A through D. We just needed a place to park and sleep so I got D011. Got there at 11pm and the D loop says no pets allowed. Not sure why when they are at every other loop but we had no where else to go and the area is pretty far off from anywhere else so the ol lab stayed in the camper. The bathrooms are tile and really nice with showers. And it was really quiet and chilly so a nice fall camp site. Just know ahead of time if you’re a dog owner!

    Village Scene Park

    Tucked-Away Community Vibe

    I’m following up on my review from over a year ago with updated insights, additional photos and a quick breakdown of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS: 

    HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Convenient suburban location near Philadelphia yet surprisingly quiet; (2) Full-hookup RV sites with 30 / 50 amp, water, and sewer; (3) Affordable rates compared to other campgrounds in the region; (4) Smaller, tight-knit atmosphere with friendly long-term residents; (5) Pet-friendly, with walking areas and green space; and (6) Nearby restaurants include Franconi’s Pizzeria for classic pies and cheesesteaks and Appalachian Brewing Company with pub fare and house-brewed beers. 

    LOWLIGHTS: (1) Sites are narrow and can feel cramped, so don’t expect big pull-throughs; (2) Limited amenities with no pool, clubhouse, or playground; (3) Grounds feel more like a residential mobile home park than a campground; (4) Some infrastructure is dated and could use upgrades; and (5) Not much in the way of natural scenery because, um, this is urban camping. 

    Happy Camping!

    Fort Washington State Park Campground

    Where George Washington Would've Ditched His Tent PPE

    I’m following up on my review from over a year ago with new photos, updated weathered campers’ tales and a quick snapshot of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS:

    HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Rustic group camping nestled in nearly 500 acres of lush forest that is perfect for history buffs and nature lovers alike; (2) Potable water and non-flush restrooms available year-round, because even Revolutionary War re-enactors need coffee breaks; (3) Over 3.5 miles of trails leading to Hawk Watch observation decks, which birders will marvel at and the rest of us will simply appreciate the vista; (4) Group tenting area that fits 20 to 100 people that is ideal for clans, clubs or covert woodland think tanks; and (5) Convenient to Philly (25 min), great for escaping crowds while still being able to Uber for donuts.

    LOWLIGHTS: (1) No RV or tent-by-the-river solo camping: group-only policy means solo adventurers need to carpool or carry heavy guilt; (2) Bathrooms are primitive and non-flush, so BYOTP as it’s campground chic here, not hotel lobby convenient; (3) Carry-in / carry-out trash policy means becoming one with your garbage until civilization or squirrels show up; (4) Cell service is ‘iffy’ at best, depending on how hard the woods are trying to keep you offline; and (5) No campfire tales about campers as noise is limited and so are late-night s'mores sessions.

    Happy Camping!


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.
