"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."

GuideMary & her crew run a great campground. Full hookup. Slow schedule during the week-camp store & pool mainly. Saturdays always have activities planned from bingo to quarter auctions, picnics & music. Each Saturday is different. Clean grounds. Nice playgrounds. Kiddie pool & nice size pool from 3-5’ deep. 2 cabins also available.
ScoutStayed three nights in a tent and enjoyed it very much. Sites have electrical hookups, shared water connections, large picnic table, and fire ring with adjustable grate. Electrical and water are at the outer edge of each site so you might want an extension cord and/or hose. Bathrooms are clean; showers have separate stalls but they’re clustered together (not the most private). There are hiking and biking trails, a lake, and archery park. Staff are friendly. Office is open through 9pm, and firewood, ice, and bait for fishing are available. Site C3 is in an okay spot; it’s close to the bathroom and laundry room, but also right next to the playground. We were able to visit the beach; easy 25 minute drive to Asbury Park.
GuideI personally did not like this campsite. First of all, our site tag was leftover from SEPTEMBER. Did no one look at any of these sites and leave someone else’s registration posted there for almost a year? Wild. Our campsite had trash leftover from previous campers. The whole campground was loud - from other campers to just the sounds from the nearby road. If you are looking for peace it is NOT here. If you’re looking to have loud music time all night with no repercussions as your kids ride around yelling and carrying on past midnight then you’ll have a blast. The pros of this campsite was supposed to be the access to Lake Atsion but we were turned away at the gate at 12:30 as they stated they were at capacity. Checking into our campsite they specifically asked if we would be utilizing the recreation area so we would have a pass for entry, but that’s seemingly not in their logistical headcount. I would not visit here again.
ScoutI recently stayed at Site 36, and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The biggest issue was the campsite itself. Site 36 is extremely small, with neighboring campers only about 5 feet away on one side and roughly 12 feet behind the site. There was very little privacy, which made it difficult to relax. Many of the nearby sites appeared to be occupied by long-term or permanent residents. Several had large amounts of personal belongings stored under tarps, giving the area an unkempt appearance. In addition, the neighboring campsite had children's bikes, large toys, and other miscellaneous items overflowing onto the site I had rented, making it feel even more cramped. Another major concern was the constant cigarette and marijuana smoke. It was noticeable throughout much of the day, and because of the smoke, I couldn't comfortably leave my camper windows open. At over $110 per night for a full hookup site, I expected a much better experience. I understand the campground told me there were no other sites available, although I did notice a few empty sites during my stay. Whether those sites were reserved or unavailable for another reason, I can't say, but Site 346 should not be rented at this price given its condition and lack of privacy. Overall, I would not stay here again and cannot recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing camping experience. Its great for daily tubing but as a camper they lock the fence that gets you to the bridge so you have to take a long walk around although non campers can pull right up, it makes no sense to have a pass through that's locked.
ScoutPulled in like noooo it’s super small tight but here for a week in a cabin kids had a great time nice people pool and weekend activities. We would come back
TravelerBeautiful park and very peaceful. Rangers are super friendly. This is exactly what camping should be.
Scout$10/night for out of staters. About 30 well spaced sites. Every site has fire ring, some places half shaded. Pit toilets spaced around the campground. No water. Great cell service (5G) with Verizon
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?
ScoutWe needed a pit stop….as a pit stop it serves its purpose…..would not stay here more than a night. Lots of seasonal run down campers. Tarps over campers. Bathrooms are neglected. Agree with previous reviewer that they have given into the seasonal camper.
Cabin accommodations near Grenloch, New Jersey tend to be most available from April through October, with select facilities like Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA offering year-round options. Most campgrounds providing cabin rentals sit within a 20-mile radius of Grenloch in the relatively flat terrain of southern New Jersey, where summer temperatures typically range from 75-90°F with moderate humidity. Winter cabin rentals become limited as many facilities close seasonal operations between November and March.
Fishing at multiple lakes: Goshen Pond at Wharton State Forest offers excellent shoreline access for anglers. "Our site was right next to the Mullica River, and had excellent views if you walked just a couple steps from the tent. We were able to put our kayaks in right next to the site which was very convenient," notes one visitor to Goshen Pond.
Historic site exploration: The Atsion area features numerous historic buildings and ruins accessible via dirt roads near the campground. A camper at Atsion Family Camp mentions, "In the area there are historic buildings and ruins you get to by 'off roading' on all dirt roads. Great places to kayak and Pineland Adventures right down the street has wonderful trips!"
Live entertainment options: Several campgrounds host seasonal concerts and events during summer weekends. A visitor to Jellystone Park South Jersey appreciated that "Our site was directly across from the Pavilion which was great for Saturday night's live band." Evening activities often include themed gatherings, movie screenings and holiday celebrations from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Lakefront site privacy: Campers consistently mention the value of water-adjacent sites for both views and activities. At Hospitality Creek Campground, one reviewer noted, "Our site(#57— Lakefront Premium Waterfront) had full hookups and everything worked fine. The site was a good size, covered in heavy mulch, and is level. The photos of the lake were taken from our site to show this really is waterfront."
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds receive praise for their bathroom maintenance. One camper at Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA was impressed that "The park is clean, quiet, full of families. The staff are friendly and welcoming. It's easy to navigate to the park from the interstate, and big rigs fit easily."
Variety of accommodation options: From tent sites to glamping cabins, the region offers diverse sleeping arrangements. A visitor to Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA shared, "My husband and I stayed for a week in one of the glamping tents. The staff was very friendly and the tents were more glamorous than we had tried before, but definitely had a good combination of woodsy and comfort."
Seasonal closures are variable: While most campgrounds close for winter, some have extended seasons. A camper at Old Cedar Campground mentions, "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."
Water quality varies by location: Several campsites have reported issues with water quality or access. At Parvin State Park, one camper warned, "The water has a very high iron content. I couldn't even use it for tooth brushing. Most of the showers were out of order. The toilets were clean but had the orange staining from the iron in the water."
Site differences within same campground: Sites at many facilities offer dramatically different experiences even within the same property. A Four Seasons Family Campground visitor cautioned, "The site we were in wasn't very well marked. The dog park was large, but no shade at all which is a big deal in the heat."
Look for structured activities: Campgrounds with organized programming provide entertainment without additional planning. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park - Elmer, "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."
Check water feature height requirements: Some splash pads and water attractions have minimum height requirements. A visitor to Jellystone Park - Elmer noted, "The pool and splash park were great but you needed to be at least 42 inches to go on the slide or bounce house."
Consider proximity to playgrounds: Sites near playgrounds offer convenience but may bring extra noise. At Parvin State Park, a visitor observed, "Site is great for people with families as there was a playground within 50 feet so it is a bit louder and busier. We loved the free and clean showers and bathrooms but we had to drive to them from our site."
Pack extra water hoses: Some campgrounds have shared hookups that require longer connections. An RVer at Old Cedar Campground advised, "The water hookups are shared every other site (at least in the Fence Loop). I was lucky my 75' hose barely reached the distance needed. Be sure to bring extra hoses."
Note road conditions: Many campgrounds feature narrow or unpaved access roads. A visitor at Parvin State Park warned, "Very narrow roads to sites, so not big rig friendly there but most sites are quite large. No gravel or pads on sites, just bare ground. No hook ups but there are potable water faucets and a dump station."
Check arrival timing: Late arrivals may face challenges with site location and setup. At Four Seasons Family Campground, one visitor suggested, "Don't plan on arriving after dark as there is no type of lighting other than what the other campers have lit up."
