Several RV parks near Cheltenham provide full hookup options for motorhomes and travel trailers. Village Scene Park in Hatfield offers year-round access with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections, while Spring Gulch Resort Campground in New Holland operates seasonally from March through December with similar amenities. "The pull-thru sites are packed together so tightly that our sitting area was bordered by the hookups from the neighboring site," noted one camper about spacing at some parks in the region. Sun Valley Campground in Narvon features spacious sites with electric hookups, water, and sewer connections, operating from April through November. Lake-in-Wood Campground, also in Narvon, provides 50-amp service with full hookups in a wooded setting.
Most RV parks in the area require advance reservations, particularly during summer and fall foliage seasons. Dump stations are available at most locations, though some parks charge additional fees for this service. Cell service varies significantly between campgrounds, with Verizon typically providing the most reliable coverage. Many parks accommodate big rigs, but navigation can be challenging at certain locations. A review mentioned that "roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed" at some facilities. Pet-friendly sites are common throughout the region, though specific restrictions may apply. Propane refill services are available at select campgrounds, and most feature on-site stores for basic supplies and firewood purchases.

Upscale Parking Paradise at This Home Fixer-Upper
Located just off US Route 1 in the upscale Princeton area, this spacious Lowe's serves up a surprisingly pleasant patch of pavement for weary road warriors looking to catch some shut-eye. Set back roughly 80 yards from the highway, this big blue home improvement retailer offers a generously sized parking lot with relatively manageable traffic, good maneuverability and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect from such a busy suburban retail corridor. The western and southern edges of the lot are particularly appealing for an overnight stay, and with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several other retailers nearby, convenience certainly isn't in short supply. Better yet, the store management was friendly and accommodating when we called ahead to arrange our overnight visit.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spacious, paved parking lot with plenty of room to maneuver larger rigs; (2) Convenient access to US Route 1 and nearby I-95; (3) Western and southern parking areas offer quieter spots away from the busiest customer traffic; (4) Excellent nearby conveniences, including Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several dining options; and (5) Friendly store management that welcomed our overnight stay, plus surprisingly good opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) Some daytime retail traffic and occasional road noise, although nothing terribly disruptive; (2) No RV hookups, dump station or dedicated overnight camping facilities; (3) Parking areas closest to the store can become crowded during business hours; (4) Limited greenery and little of the scenery you'd expect from a traditional campground; and (5) While the overnight experience was excellent, this is still a commercial parking lot rather than a destination for an extended stay.
Happy Overnighting!

Pine Barrens New Jersey
This 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.

Simple, peaceful FHU
We stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.

Beautiful campground, loud campers
Beautiful 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.

First time camping
As far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.

First 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.

Quiet Getaway close to home for us
Mary & 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.
Guide to Cheltenham

Most campgrounds operate seasonally from March/April through November, with wooded sites providing moderate shade. Many campgrounds in this area feature small ponds or lakes, and summer humidity levels typically reach 70-80%.
What to do
Miniature golf course activities: At Spring Gulch Resort Campground, families can enjoy the on-site course, though one camper noted it "could use some upkeep as there was trash strewn throughout the course." Another visitor mentioned the course "needs maintenance" and "needs to be regreened."
Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer fishing ponds for recreational anglers. At Lake-in-Wood Campground, visitors enjoy "nice fishing in the lake," though some campers have mentioned seeing "dead fish" in ponds at other locations during peak summer heat.
Live entertainment options: Weekend activities include scheduled performances at many campgrounds. One reviewer at Sun Valley Campground mentioned "The Saturday night bands are concert worthy," making it worth planning your stay to include weekend nights when entertainment is scheduled.
What campers like
Accessibility to Philadelphia attractions: Village Scene Park offers convenient access to Philadelphia. One camper noted: "VSP's location is great for those wanting to access some of the bigger, better things in Philly proper, without having to actually stay in the city" and "Nearby there's a SEPTA Doylestown/Landsdale regional rail line stop that will pretty much give you all of the direct access to the city."
Clean bathroom facilities: Several campgrounds maintain their facilities well. A camper at Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake noted "clean showers and toilet" among the pros, while another mentioned "showers are basic but far from the worst I've experienced, clean and stocked."
Pet-friendly environment: Most RV parks welcome pets with some restrictions. Village Scene Park has "an empty lot right next to the area designated for RVers, so me thinks if you come bringing Fido, you'll have plenty of space for him/her/they to run around and do their business."
What you should know
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the region have uneven terrain. At Mays Landing Resort, a visitor reported "sites are very unleveled so the staff switched us to a pull thru space that was a tad bit more level but still very unleveled."
Narrow roads: Navigation can be difficult within certain campgrounds. One camper at Lake-in-Wood Campground observed "The roads were very tight and you really had to watch how you drove through because of the trees."
Seasonal operation: Most RV sites near Cheltenham close during winter months. Spring Gulch Resort operates from "Mar 21 - Dec 1," while Sun Valley Campground runs from "April 1 to November 1," requiring advance planning for fall visits.
Tips for camping with families
Pool facilities vary by season: Swimming pools are typically open during summer months only. At Spring Gulch Resort, a camper mentioned "not enough staffing to keep amenities like pool open after 5 during the week," suggesting families plan daytime swimming.
Playground options: Sun Valley Campground offers recreation facilities for children. A visitor noted the park has a "great swimming pool" and is a "well wooded campground with friendly staff and guests."
Organized activities: Many campgrounds schedule family-oriented events. At Mays Landing Resort, one camper mentioned "my daughter really enjoyed the scavenger hunt," and noted "Halloween decorations were the best," suggesting themed weekends provide extra entertainment value.
Tips from RVers
Hookup positioning: Some sites have awkward utility placement. A visitor noted at one park "the pull-thru sites are packed together so tightly that our sitting area was bordered by the hookups from the neighboring site."
Dump station hours: Check operational times for dump stations as they may be limited. At Village Scene Park, a camper reported "there's a $20 flat dump fee, opened 9-4pm M-F, but closed on the weekends (to our chagrin, we found this out too late!)."
Big rig navigation: Large RVs may struggle at certain campgrounds. One reviewer at Lake-in-Wood Campground stated "The roads were very tight and you really had to watch how you drove through because of the trees," indicating careful planning is needed for larger vehicles.
