    Washington Crossing State Park - TEMP CLOSED FOR 2024

    History and Camping with Revolutionary Limits

    Washington Crossing Historic Park, straddling Pennsylvania and New Jersey along the Delaware River, is one of those rare places where you can literally camp in history. The Pennsylvania side is all about historic buildings, museums and picnic spots, while the New Jersey side (Washington Crossing State Park) offers organized group tent camping. This isn’t the place for a cushy RV getaway or individual tenters looking to sneak in for the night, but rather a structured, group-style camping steeped in Revolutionary War atmosphere. First impressions? More Boy Scout jamboree than weekend getaway, but if you’re here for camaraderie and heritage, you’ve hit the mark.

    Facilities are deliberately minimal. On the Pennsylvania side, camping is limited to a handful of Scout-designated sites with portable toilets, no running water and zero frills. Across the river in New Jersey, the official group camping area provides open tent-only sites with no hookups, no pets and strict quiet hours. Think old-school camping: fire rings, pit toilets and a heavy dose of ‘leave no trace’ ethos. Reservations are required, permits are non-negotiable and the max stay tops out at 14 nights. What you do get is a wide, peaceful forest setting with plenty of space for tents, youth groups or scout troops along with the kind of simplicity that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.

    Beyond the tent pads, the surrounding parks are rich with history and outdoor options. On the Pennsylvania side, you’ll find the visitor center, historic McConkey’s Ferry Inn, Bowman’s Hill Tower, and interpretive programs that bring the Revolutionary War era to life. Picnic areas and a boat launch offer ways to enjoy the Delaware River. In New Jersey, miles of wooded trails lead you through rolling hills and historic landscapes, perfect for hiking and birdwatching. It’s a spot where history buffs, scouts and nature seekers can all find common ground.

    Insider Tips? Here’s a handful: (1) The best group sites are the ones tucked furthest from the trailhead as (surprise, surprise) they’re quieter and offer more privacy; (2) Stock up before arriving, as there are no supply stores inside the park, so head on over to nearby Weis Markets in Langhorne or ShopRite in Fairless Hills, both of which are on the PA-side; (3) Be sure to bring all your own water as none is available onsite; (4) Kayakers should launch from the Pennsylvania side’s boat access for an iconic paddle on the Delaware River; (5) Visit the park’s historic reenactments, especially the Christmas Day Crossing event as it’s easily the most memorable history lesson you’ll ever get outdoors; and (6) When you’re done camping, fuel up at It’s Nutts Restaurant on the Jersey side in Titusville for classic diner-style comfort food or Francisco’s on the River for Italian fare with Delaware River views.

    Happy Camping!

    Camp Taylor Campground

    A beautiful forested campground with plenty of wildlife and birds.

    Easy access from Rt 80 and located close to the Lakota Wolf Preserve. With tours leaving them campground twice a day on both Saturday and Sundays for the wolf preserve, I was glad there was camping so close. The camping selection of sites is excellent with Cabins, Glamping tents, primitive tent sites and of course RV sites. I choose to stay in one of the glamping tents and was pleasantly surprised at the space inside the tent even with a double bed and two other fold out couches to beds. Water is available at the site. A small lake for swimming and boating. And lots of trails linking you to the Delaware river water gap area.

    Tohickon Valley County Park

    Great stop for a Bikepacker

    No electrical and no pets allowed in camp sites. But plenty of trees and huge fire rings in each spot. An RV would have a tough time but for car camping it’s great. The Delaware Canal is nearby with the tow path for biking. That makes this a nice Bikepacking stop.

    Camp Taylor Campground

    Great as long as you behave

    Having been here on a few occasions I will say it is def a beautiful spot in many regards. However, there are some downsides.

    Positives: sites are decent sized with fire pits and picnic tables. easy access to hiking, convenient to a beautiful vineyard, peaceful region, and the most amazing wolf preserve is right next to you.  

    Negative: limited access to firewood. sites are picked clean, quiet hours are strongly enforced- which can be a good thing depending upon who you are, the lake is anything but refreshing.

    Philadelphia-West Chester KOA

    Nice Campground Near Philadelphia

    West Chester KOA This is a really nice KOA not too far from downtown Philly. The campground is located in a beautiful part of the Pennsylvania countryside with rolling hills which meant the roads getting there are narrow and windy. A bridge nearby the campground was washed out earlier by a hurricane so we had to take an alternative route going about thirty minutes out of our way. (Make sure you check their website for directions!) There is a lot to do in the surrounding area like visiting the historical sites in downtown Philadelphia, Valley Forge, or exploring Amish country. 

    This is a typical KOA with lots of amenities and activities for kids– swimming pool, jump pad, miniature golf, volleyball, butterfly garden, gem mining, playground, store, dog park, nature trail, etc. There is a large pool area with pavilion but it was closed during our stay since we were there early in the season. The campground is right on the Brandywine River which is a slow meandering pretty river that is great to get your feet wet or go for a paddle. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent if you have time and as there is very little current in the river you can paddle out and back without any trouble. There is a nice, short nature trail which was nice to walk our dog and she enjoyed getting wet in the river. 

    The campground is hilly which means that a fair number of sites are not level. Our site (#27) was level for our RV but the patio sloped downhill and we could not use our picnic table or find a level spot for our chairs. Some sites are “premiums” with paved patios, Adirondack chairs, fancy firepits, BBQ grill, and tables and chairs with an umbrella. These sites are really nice, but you pay a lot more for them. Some sites are located adjacent to the river with nice waterfront views, but beware some might be muddy. There are lots of camping cabins and a couple of glamping tents. 

    Overall, the campground is very clean with no trash lying around and the grass was mowed and trimmed. The 50-amp electric was good as was the water pressure. The sewer connection uphill from our site so it did not drain properly. There is basic cable but since you are so close to Philly there are plenty of over-the-air channels. The Wi-Fi at our site worked well. Garbage is picked up at your site. The surrounding area has plenty of restaurants, shopping, and interesting things to see and do.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Perfect even in the Rain

    First time camping at this park and it was perfect. Even though it rained all weekend, we explored the area by car, even tried some fishing off the pier and we got to get some much needed rest and relaxation in. D Loop seemed like the best loop (for tent campers such as us). Pretty spacious between sites. No pets though. B and C loop felt like the spaces were very close to each other. A loop was closed at this point. Bathhouses can use an upgrade but has flush toilets and hot showers which is all you need.

    Tobyhanna State Park Campground

    Pretty but cramped

    The lake is gorgeous and there are nice hiking trails, but sites are very small and close together. Let’s are allowed in less than half of the campground, which means all the dogs are in a smaller area and barking at each other more than other places. The no-pet area was practically empty when we were there midweek but the pets-allowed area was much more crowded than we would have liked.

    Also rules and signage are wildly confusing, lots of things contradict each other. Cell service exists but not great for remote work.


Guide to Center Valley

Center Valley sits in the heart of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, where rolling hills and hardwood forests create favorable camping conditions from late spring through early fall. The area typically receives moderate rainfall throughout summer months with temperatures ranging from 60-80°F. Local campgrounds vary in elevation from 400-700 feet above sea level, creating different microclimates across the region.

What to do

Hiking trails and outdoor recreation: Near Boulder Woods Campground, visitors can explore the extensive disc golf course that winds through the property. "They have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," shares a visitor. The campground's terrain features actual boulders and wooded areas that create a unique playing experience.

Fishing at local ponds: Many campgrounds feature fishing opportunities without leaving the property. At Colonial Woods Family Resort, "the lake where you could fish, cornhole, and minigolf" provides diverse recreation options. The ponds are typically stocked with common warm-water species suitable for beginner anglers.

Water recreation: Drive 15 minutes to Nockamixon State Park for water activities. A visitor to Ringing Rocks Family Campground notes, "If you're looking for a scenic drive that makes you forget that you're in NJ, head on over to the Alpha Grasslands Preserve in Alpha, NJ." The Delaware River is another popular option for tubing and kayaking, with rental services available in season.

What campers like

Secluded tent sites: For those seeking more privacy, Lake Towhee County Park offers primitive camping in a wooded setting. "Very secluded and set back in the woods, but only a short drive to Nockamixon. Would definitely stay again!" notes one visitor. The 13-site campground features gravel sites with picnic tables, fire rings, and garbage cans.

Farm-adjacent settings: Some campgrounds border working farms, creating pastoral views. At Quakerwoods Campground, "the sunrise is pretty nice" because the tent sites are "next to a farm." The campground offers fire pit delivery service, which eliminates the need to transport firewood from a separate location.

Quiet, natural surroundings: Many campers appreciate the natural ambiance at local campgrounds. One visitor to Mountainview Campground stated, "Stayed at one of the primitive sites. Very clean and quite. Bath stalls and showers are basic but clean. Great spot for stargazing." Most sites maintain some distance from major highways, minimizing traffic noise.

What you should know

Site conditions vary dramatically: At Tohickon Family Campground, a camper warns, "Don't come if you're in a tent and it has been or will rain, it becomes flooded or turns into a mudpit." Many campgrounds have specific areas that drain poorly during wet weather.

Seasonal operations: Most glamping in Center Valley, Pennsylvania occurs between April and October. The typical seasonal window runs from "April 1 to October 31" with some variations by location. Make reservations well in advance for summer weekends and holiday periods.

Access restrictions: Some locations have specific limitations. At Mountainview Campground, a visitor noted, "After talking to them, they would not allow us to come late, but did refund the first night." Always confirm check-in times and policies before arrival, especially if planning a late arrival.

Tips for camping with families

Activities for children: Families appreciate campgrounds with dedicated children's programming. At Ringing Rocks Family Campground, "We went on Halloween weekend and they had so much for the kids to do! Friendly staff and clean sites!" Special weekend themes typically include crafts, hayrides, and other organized activities.

Playground facilities: Many campgrounds feature multiple play areas. At Allentown KOA, a visitor mentioned "2 different playgrounds and a pool that could use some updating," indicating amenities specifically designed for children. Some luxury glamping sites in Center Valley provide enhanced play equipment not typically found at standard campgrounds.

Water features for hot days: Look for campgrounds with swimming options. One visitor to Colonial Woods Family Resort noted, "The pool and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times." Swimming facilities typically operate from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with specific hours posted at each location.

Tips from RVers

Site dimensions and accessibility: For large RVs, be aware that some campgrounds have tight access. A visitor to Colonial Woods Family Resort cautions, "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)." Call ahead to confirm specific site dimensions before booking.

Utility connections: Many local glamping options offer full hookups, but locations vary. At French Creek State Park Campground, "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze," but water access points may not be directly at each site. Most luxury accommodations provide reliable 30-50 amp electrical service for climate control systems.

Seasonal site restrictions: Some campgrounds limit permanent setups. A visitor to Boulder Woods Campground noted, "They only allow seasonal campers to be 10 years old or newer. Ours is 13." Check age restrictions for RVs if planning extended stays at luxury glamping locations near Center Valley.
