Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA welcomes pets at all accommodation types including tent sites, RV spaces, cabins, and glamping units. Old Cedar Campground in Monroeville offers pet-friendly camping with full hookup sites and cabin rentals approximately 15 minutes from Pilesgrove. Both locations provide drinking water, electric hookups, and reservable sites where dogs can join their families. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Elmer (now operating as Adventure Bound) maintains pet-friendly policies across their tent, RV, cabin, and yurt accommodations. Most campgrounds in the area enforce standard leash policies and request that owners clean up after their pets. The all-grass sites at Old Cedar just fit larger RVs while providing views of the adjacent cow pasture, offering an entertaining backdrop for dogs.
Oldmans Creek Campground provides a quieter pet-friendly alternative with modest amenities including electric and water hookups for campers traveling with dogs. Walking paths around the properties give pets regular exercise opportunities, though the quality varies by location. Parvin State Park Campground allows pets on campground premises with standard state park regulations for dogs. Many campers note the campground roads at Jellystone/Adventure Bound are primarily dirt or sand, which can become messy after rain but provide ample walking opportunities for dogs. The swimming areas at most campgrounds are typically not open to pets, but several properties feature ponds or creeks where supervised dogs can access water. Most locations maintain quiet hours that help prevent excessive barking issues, with enforcement varying by campground. Dog-friendly campsites near Pilesgrove span a range of settings, from grassy RV parks with full hookups to quieter grounds with creek access, making it easier to find the right fit based on your dog's needs and your camping style.

"We did Chinatown and walked part of the Schuylkill River trail which we accessed by parking near Fairmount Park."
"Quiet Getaway Weekend
We went to Old Cedar Campground in Monroeville, New Jersey, for a quiet getaway weekend. This is a small and basic campground, not a resort. No fancy amenities."

ScoutWe stayed at the group site campground with our horse. We found the sites to be large, and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they have fall activities for the family, at the lake and nature hikes. The porta potty's are very clean, have hand sanitizer and plenty of paper. Will be returning again in a few weeks. Plenty of trails to ride on. A true gem in our own backyard.
LegendNestled along the picturesque Delaware River in beautiful Bucks County, Washington Crossing Historic Park is one of those destinations where American history practically jumps out from behind every tree. This sprawling, beautifully preserved historic park commemorates George Washington's daring Christmas night crossing of the Delaware in 1776, with charming colonial buildings, expansive green spaces, shaded walking paths and lovely riverfront scenery. Divided into Upper and Lower sections, the park offers plenty to explore, from historic homesteads and interpretive exhibits to scenic picnic areas and the impressive Bowman's Hill Tower. Unfortunately, while the park delivers a wonderful outdoor experience, traditional overnight camping isn't part of the equation unless your a Boy Scout or accompanying one of their troops.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spectacular Revolutionary War history at the very site of Washington's legendary Delaware River crossing; (2) Beautifully maintained grounds featuring mature trees, open lawns and scenic riverfront views; (3) Fascinating colonial-era buildings, historic demonstrations and educational exhibits that bring America's founding history to life; (4) Wonderful recreational opportunities, including walking, cycling, fishing, kayaking and picnicking; and (5) Convenient proximity to charming New Hope, the Delaware Canal towpath and Bowman's Hill Tower, offering plenty of opportunities to extend your adventure.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) No conventional public tent or RV camping, with overnight group camping restricted to organized Scout groups by prior arrangement; (2) No dedicated RV campsites, electrical hookups, water connections or dump station; (3) Park grounds generally close at sunset, limiting opportunities to linger into the evening; (4) Some historic buildings and attractions require admission fees or operate on limited schedules; and (5) Periodic restoration projects and special events can restrict access to certain areas, while the historic Washington Crossing Bridge's three-ton weight limit makes it unsuitable for larger RVs.
Happy Camping!
TravelerMany long term seasonal sites. Good community. Large shower house good and clean . Pool. Game room. Off leash dog park. Wooded/shady sites or no shade sunny sites. Lots of area to walk or play. Large field, basketball couture, frisky golf, play area and laundry room. We were here all summer (June-october). Lots to do in the area. Good food nearby. Ocean city 10 minutes away.
ScoutThis is one of the largest, if not the largest, campgrounds in Southern New Jersey. While on the pricier side, everything is top-notch. The roads are all paved, and not gravel (I hate trying to sleep and listening to the sound of stones grating together). The sites are more spacious than most campgrounds, so it doesn't seem so crowded. The bathrooms are all modern and spotless. There are numerous bathrooms which means most sites have one nearby. They do charge a quarter for showers to encourage water conservation and donate the money to conservation causes. The pool is large, as is the lake. Both are well-maintained. The camp store is enormous and is really nice and well-stocked with everything one might need from food to pool and beach stuff to camping supplies and equipment. There is a nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. The camp store has a lending library of books and DVDs. There are numerous activities that appear to be well-run, The grounds are shaded with many trees for a great wooded campground feel. The campground is so large that it has an internal shuttle with stations scattered about to help people go between the various important sites such as at the pool, the lake and the store. I found other campers, particularly the seasonals, to be more friendly than other campgrounds at the shore. This requires constant tree care including removing dead trees and branches which they do regularly. The staff is friendly and well-trained. I was in a tent, and when a rare October nor'easter came through, I was offered the opportunity to use a cabin free-of-charge. Fortunately my tent and equipment made it through days of rain and high winds just fine . On my first stay in May, I had to run my dog back to Baltimore towards the end of my trip where he was sadly diagnosed with incurable metastatic cancer. When I returned, I was late and unable to check out by 11, but they allowed me to take as much time as needed to clear the site, as nobody was staying there the next day, which was deeply appreciated - I was an emotional wreck. Oh, and I found the complimentary Wi-Fi to be a great service, and sufficiently fast to allow me to stream ultra-high-definition movies at my site - Most campgrounds charge extra for less-than-good service - a lot more. I find that a big bonus. Overall, I LOVE this campground and highly recommend it.
GuideThis campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.
ScoutRestrooms are filthy with mold and mildew.
Water puddled on the restroom floor.really gross.
Cabin was mostly clean. The windows were full of dirt and bugs on the tracks.mattresses were terrible.The fireplace was nice. Kitchen was clean.
Can t wait to move on to a cleaner park.
ScoutMy check in was for 8-6-2026, and bc I’m a new driver and wanted to beat traffic I got there early (7am) so I sit there waiting till check in time. When suddenly the park police show up. He’s accusing me of camping over night there. I told him simply I wasn’t and where I was night prior (would never sleep somewhere without permission). So we go to the store to kill time before we check in. Come back for Check in and the whole staff in just the office alone were so arrogant and cold to my mom and I, leaving rude comments to us and not only where they like that but the staff outside the office was acting like that alongside the rangers and park police. They would watch us the whole visit in the distance parking there cars a little ways watching everything we did,even driving by slowly a bunch of times in just an hour alone. My mom and I couldn’t do anything with out them showing up 2 mins later. Example we were walking our dog enjoying our time(trying to) and all of a sudden one of the office ladies pulls up right in front of us speeding, parks their car, gets out and walks a distance from us standing there and taking pictures of us…. For walking our dog who’s on a leash and didn’t even do anything. The whole trip we felt uncomfortable and unwanted and to find out they police when we were going on walks where coming up to campers near us bribing them with free firewood to get any information on use (told to us by other camper). I paid a lot of money to be harassed and followed the whole time. We never did anything we abide by every rule and keep to ourselves everywhere we go. They even made my mother cry…
GuideBeautiful campground but made the mistake of going on a holiday weekend, the campgrounds next to us were screaming and blasting music all day and throughout the night so we ended up leaving early. A beautiful campground when there aren’t noisy capers ruining it.
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.
Pet-friendly campgrounds near Pilesgrove offer varied terrain across Salem County's coastal plain region, which sits at elevations between 30-100 feet above sea level. The area features a mix of pine forests, farmland, and small waterways with summer temperatures averaging in the mid-80s. Campsites typically experience higher humidity levels from June through August when thunderstorms can develop quickly in the afternoon hours.
Hiking around lakes and ponds: Parvin State Park Campground features multiple walking paths around Parvin Lake. "The hiking is also very accessible because it's basically pancake flat terrain," notes John S., who appreciated the park's natural setting despite its relatively easy trails.
Swimming in designated areas: Hospitality Creek Campground provides both pool and lake swimming options under supervision. "The pools are nice and have on-duty lifeguards all day. We rode our bikes around, enjoyed time on the lake in a rented paddleboat," reports Matt S., who visited during summer.
Fishing for bass: Local ponds support different fish species with varying catch regulations. "Great fishing and nice trails. Nice campsites, some big enough for trailers," William W. mentions about Parvin State Park's fishing opportunities, which don't require additional permits for registered campers.
Rent paddleboats: Several campgrounds offer small watercraft rentals for exploring their lakes. A visitor at Hospitality Creek noted, "We enjoyed time on the lake in a rented paddleboat, and had a blast at the 70s-themed live concert at the pavilion on Saturday night."
Clean bathroom facilities: Lums Pond State Park Campground receives consistent praise for maintenance. "Great bath houses, always super clean," reports al K., though he notes a design flaw: "Some engineering genius put the bath houses furthest from the people that need them most. Tent campers...keep your shoes handy, it's a hike."
Themed weekend activities: Seasonal programs keep children entertained at many locations. "They offer so many activities during the day and text you so you don't forget. The place is so clean including the bathrooms," Nicole S. shared about her experience at Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA.
Quiet weekday camping: For those seeking less crowded conditions, timing matters. "We spent a few weeks here, waiting for school to end so we could take our 6 year old granddaughter back to our home in Florida," Craig W. wrote about Old Cedar Campground, noting it was "Quiet during the week - numerous seasonal campers."
Nature observation: Wildlife viewing opportunities exist throughout the region. At Clarksboro KOA, one visitor discovered: "If you look around the campground edges or follow the walking trail into the woods, you will find wonderful native plants like blueberry, viburnum, clethra, and meadow beauty."
Limited connectivity: Internet service varies significantly between properties. "The days of campgrounds not having to provide decent wifi are over," writes Matt S. about Hospitality Creek, explaining: "The park's wifi didn't work most of the time and was too slow when it did work to allow streaming or working on the computer."
Seasonal closures: Many campgrounds operate on limited schedules. At Lums Pond, Adam and Suzanne B. reported: "In February, about 1/4 of the sites were occupied. It was very quiet. The sites are large and well spaced." Check operating dates when planning off-season trips.
Surface conditions after rain: Unpaved areas can become challenging in wet weather. "The all-grass site just fit our 37' motor home," noted Matt S. about Old Cedar Campground, while another camper mentioned "it poured and hailed for 1 hr and it still made a swamp."
Fee structures vary: Additional charges beyond base camping fees can add up. A reviewer at Old Cedar Campground observed: "Reservation only includes 2 people - it's 8.00 per day for each additional person," which affects family camping budgets substantially.
Check activity schedules: Adventure Bound Campground (formerly Yogi Bear's Jellystone) organizes kids' programming. "The campground is maintained and there are activities for the kids always brewing. We stayed fathers day weekend and they had a breakfast, games and crafts geared towards it," reports Nicole S.
Playground accessibility: Campgrounds with play structures attract families with younger children. At Clarksboro KOA, Jaquiline D. noted: "The campground has a playground, so good for kids, but not so much an all adults stay."
Height requirements: Water attractions sometimes have minimum size rules. At Adventure Bound, a visitor mentioned "the pool and splash pad were great but you needed to be at least 42 inches to go on the slide or bounce house," which might disappoint smaller children expecting full access.
Rental options for first-timers: Some locations offer camping equipment for those without gear. Nicholas V. shared about Adventure Bound: "We stay in the rental campers. They are new-ish Shasta campers, queen bed, 1 slide, rear bunks, 2 entrances. Very clean."
Road conditions: Interior campground roads vary in quality and width. Jim G. found Clarksboro KOA "quiet, well-kept, and relatively clean" but noted that "The roads and turns were tight for our 36' motorhome, but manageable."
Site selection strategy: RV camping requires considering utility placement. Lawrence P. reported at Old Cedar Campground: "Many spots had trees but we couldn't get one as they stated our rig would not fit... I beg to differ.... probably just a way of getting more $$ from us."
Hookup reliability: Quality of utilities differs between parks. Matt S. appreciated that at Hospitality Creek Campground, "The water, electric, and sewer hookups looked practically brand new (or at least really well maintained)."
Overflow parking options: Space for additional vehicles impacts comfort. Frank J. at Parvin State Park appreciated that "we were able to park our car basically anywhere on site so we could park close to our tent," an important consideration for RVers with tow vehicles.
