The southeastern Pennsylvania region around Boyertown provides several established campgrounds within a 30-minute drive, including French Creek State Park Campground and Boulder Woods Campground. These areas accommodate various camping styles from tent and RV sites to cabins and glamping options. French Creek State Park features multiple camping loops with both electric and non-electric sites, while private campgrounds like Boulder Woods offer more amenities including full hookups. Several locations provide year-round camping opportunities, though most see peak visitation between April and October.
Seasonal considerations affect camping experiences throughout the region, with many campgrounds operating on limited schedules during winter months. French Creek State Park keeps Loop C open year-round, though winter access isn't guaranteed during snow events. Most private campgrounds in the area close between November and April. Advanced reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends and holidays, as sites fill quickly at popular locations. Several campgrounds require permits, and state parks strictly enforce regulations including alcohol prohibitions. A review noted: "French Creek State Park is a lovely park with several well marked trails for hiking. The campgrounds are clean but the sites are way too close together and there is not any privacy."
Campground layouts and privacy levels vary significantly across the region. Many developed campgrounds feature a mix of wooded and open sites, though reviews consistently mention limited privacy between campsites at several locations. Green Lane Park's Deep Creek Campground receives mixed feedback about its open layout, with one camper describing it as having "zero privacy" with sites "lined up next to each other along the campground driveway and absolutely no trees or shrubs between them." More secluded options exist at specialized locations like Rolling Hills Retreats, which offers private glamping experiences. French Creek State Park provides numerous recreational opportunities including hiking trails, lakes for fishing and boating, and a swimming pool. Most campgrounds in the region feature clean restrooms and showers, though amenities vary from basic to full-service depending on the location and price point.

LegendHickory Run State Park Campground
Peaceful State Park Camping in the Fall
This is a large campground with a wide array of campsites so be careful attention when you book online, especially if you have a pet because some sites are not pet-friendly. Some are 50-amp full hook-up and some are primitive with no hook-ups.
There is a nice nature center with interesting interpretive exhibits and lots of informational brochures including ones about the hiking trails, bears, scat and tracks of local animals, and fishing. Our site was at the edge of the campground and backed up to Route 534 which resulted in a bit of road noise at our site. Other than the road noise the campground was pretty quiet and was not very crowded when we camped there in October.
Not all sites are level and we happened to book one that was not and we had to live with a slant for our stay. The roads in the park are gravel/dirt and since it rained the day we arrived the roads were a muddy mess which made the roads slippery and there were lots of potholes. Unfortunately, some campers were disrespectful and left bags of trash in the fire pit and scattered around their site which was totally unnecessary because there were dumpsters plenty of dumpsters in the campground. Since we camped at Hickory Run late in the season, there were no camp hosts and the trash never got picked up.
The campground is open from mid-April to mid-December; however, the shower facilities and dump station are not available after the third week of October so plan accordingly. We really like the hiking trails which are of varying degrees of difficulty and lengths. The Hawk Falls is a nice easy walk (1.4 miles round-trip) to a waterfall but is extremely popular so don’t think you will be admiring the falls alone. The parking lot at this trail head fills up fast so you better get there early if you want to get a spot.
You can enter the park from two different directions. If you have a big-rig, it is best to approach from the east side. We made the mistake of coming in from the west side as we dropped down from I-80 and came down 534 and the road was really windy with no shoulder. Luckily, there was very little traffic so we could go 10 mph and safely navigate the roads.
Be aware alcohol is not allowed in PA state parks. This park does allow hunting in certain sections of the park. The no-hunting areas are clearly marked with white no hunting signs on trees and you can also pick up a brochure from the office that designates hunting and no-hunting sections.
Stuart K.LegendWashington Crossing State Park - TEMP CLOSED FOR 2024
Revolutionary History near Delaware River
Nestled 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!

TravelerCountry Acres Campground
Lovely campground!
Country 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!

The best views
This is a hidden gem, as close to dispersed camping you can get with dirt, gravel roads, large stone fire pits, a amazing views with the added benefit of a five gallon jug of non potable water and very clean port-a-potties. The owner regularly patrols the site and makes sure everything is okay.
Maria Mercedes M.LegendRound Valley State Park Campground
Peaceful Wilderness Escape for Adventurous Families
There's something wonderfully special about escaping into nature where the only sounds are rustling leaves, birds singing and the gentle movement of water along the shoreline. Nestled among the wooded hills surrounding the beautiful Round Valley Reservoir, this rustic SP campground offers families a chance to disconnect from everyday distractions and enjoy a little wilderness adventure together. Unlike traditional campgrounds, the campsites are accessible only by hiking or boating, so getting anywhere here requires some planning and a willingness to travel light. Once you've arrived, you'll find secluded, wooded campsites with picnic tables, fire rings and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Amenities are basic, with pit toilets and no showers, but the beautiful reservoir, scenic hiking trails, fishing and kayaking opportunities more than make up for the lack of modern conveniences. Our kids loved exploring the woods, spotting wildlife and gathering around a crackling campfire at night to share stories beneath the stars. For families comfortable with the hike, I'd recommend choosing one of the campsites along the reservoir shoreline for the lovely water views and peaceful surroundings. Just remember that swimming is limited to the park's designated beach area. Round Valley isn't your typical family campground, but for adventurous families who enjoy hiking, camping under the stars and making wonderful memories together, it's a beautiful place to experience nature at its finest!

Old Mill Stream Campground
Never Again
The 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.
Adam and Suzanne B.GuideBeacon Hill Camping
Great location
We stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.

"There are two lakes, Scotts Run Lake and Hopewell Lake that you can fish at, kayak, canoe or just relax by. There are several warm water fish in the lakes including northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish," notes camper Jen R.
Disc golf courses: Boulder Woods Campground offers an extensive disc golf course that attracts enthusiasts from across the region. "They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," writes Erik W. The course is substantial enough to host tournaments, making it a destination for serious disc golf players.
Scenic hiking trails: Trails near camping areas provide varied terrain for day hiking. "The Pinnacle Trail so you have access to great hikes and amazing views," mentions Lorie O. about Blue Rocks Family Campground. These hiking opportunities connect to larger trail systems, including segments of the Appalachian Trail that pass through the region.
Boulder field exploration: Children especially enjoy the unique geological features at some campsites. "Our children loved to climb all over the rocks, that is where they spent most of the time," shares Terri S. about her family's experience at Blue Rocks. The natural rock formations provide a distinctive outdoor play area not commonly found at other campgrounds.
What campers like
Spacious, private sites: Many campers appreciate the well-designed sites at Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park, noting "large sites, clean bathrooms, lots of hiking trails." Most popular campgrounds in the region offer sites with adequate spacing, though availability varies by season.
Cleanliness and maintenance: Reviews consistently mention the upkeep of facilities as a key factor in positive experiences. "Bathrooms were very nice and clean with large showers. Nice area to wash dishes," notes Jen R. about French Creek State Park. Well-maintained shower facilities make extended stays more comfortable.
Year-round camping options: Select campgrounds remain open during winter months. "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great!" reports Galit P. about French Creek State Park. Winter camping requires preparation but offers a quieter experience with fewer fellow campers.
Proximity to attractions: The location allows day trips to nearby points of interest. "In nearby Quakertown, there's a Giant & Aldi's grocery store as well as a local Target, Walmart, TJMaxx, Kohl's and Link Beverages," notes Stuart K., highlighting the convenience of nearby services while camping at Quakerwoods Campground.
What you should know
Site selection matters: Campground layouts vary significantly across the region. "The tent spots are pretty much on top of each other, not much privacy," notes Addam C. about Quakerwoods Campground. Researching specific site numbers before booking improves the camping experience.
Weather impacts: Seasonal rain can significantly affect camping conditions. "Don't come if you're in a tent and it has been or will rain. It becomes flooded or turns into a mud pit," warns LU D. about Tohickon Family Campground. Spring and fall camping often requires additional preparation for wet conditions.
Reservation requirements: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," mentions Jen R. about French Creek State Park, highlighting the importance of securing preferred sites in advance.
Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds have tight access roads. "The roads were very tight and you really had to watch how you drove through because of the trees," cautions Mary C. about Lake-In-Wood Campground. RV and trailer campers should research access routes before arrival.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer well-developed play areas for children. "There is a huge pool that has a beautiful view overlooking the lake. There are trails for mountain biking or hiking, a frisbee golf course, playground at the campground and at the lake," explains Jen R. about French Creek State Park's family amenities.
Kid-friendly activities: Lake-In-Wood Campground provides unique options for family entertainment. "There is a huge pond for fishing, miniature golf, nice indoor and outdoor pool and a kiddie pool. Goats to pet and watch," shares Jen R. These structured activities help keep children engaged during longer camping stays.
Special weekend events: Many campgrounds host themed weekends and organized activities. "We had a great Halloween weekend but we were down by creek so it was very muddy," mentions Shannon C. about Tohickon Family Campground. Checking event calendars when booking enhances family camping experiences.
Nature exploration opportunities: Natural features become focal points for family activities. "Since he was 2 years old I've taken my son, and we always have an amazing time, either hiking the trails to wandering in the woods looking for 'adventures'," shares Andrew C. about experiences at Evansburg State Park.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling considerations: RV campers should research specific site conditions. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze," notes Jen R. about French Creek State Park. However, other campgrounds present challenges: "Our site was a drive-through but slanted. There wasn't much room on our site to do anything else," cautions Mary C. about Lake-In-Wood Campground.
Parking assistance: Some campgrounds offer staff help with difficult sites. "The spots are tight to get into but the staff will offer to park your camper using your vehicle. I let them park mine and I'm really glad I did," shares Erik W. about Boulder Woods Campground.
Hookup availability: Seasonal differences affect utility access at campgrounds. "Loop C is the only loop that allows pets. I expected it to be much noisier than it was," reports Jen R. about French Creek State Park. Understanding loop-specific amenities helps RV campers select appropriate sites.
Road navigation challenges: Access roads at some campgrounds require careful maneuvering. "Getting here was a little tricky having to go around the covered bridge but not anything that would ever deter me and my family from coming back," explains Richard D. about Tohickon Family Campground.
