LegendWashington 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!
GuideI was able to book my site the day before the trip. The site itself was set back some, and felt secluded while still being near the parking area.
Walk to bathrooms and camp store was on the longer side. Firewood was $5 a bundle, but the register wasn't working and they could only take cash.
The hiking in the immediate area was beautiful, lots of fun trails and wildlife. Fishing, kayaking, zip lining, tons of great activities.
The firepits have grates over one half, so campfire cooking is a breeze. Cook up and use the provided picnic table for an easy dinner set up.
The park itself is very dog friendly and most sites had dogs. There is also an off leash dog park at Lum's pond and dog water dishes outside the camp store.
The showers and bathrooms were incredibly well kept with hot water and stocked supplies. If you didn't feel like walking so far, the tents had a spiget with running water near the parking areas.
Reception for Verizon was spotty, t mobile was pretty great. Wish there was an ATM on site though I don't think the cash only situation is a normal one for this campground.
All in all an amazing trip, and I'll be back as soon as possible.
GuideNo 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.
LegendWest 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.

GuideFirst 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.
RangerWe stayed here for 3 nights while visiting family In Philadelphia. It is a 20 minute ride into Philly and Uber was was quick and responsive.
*note- this does close for winter and reopens in April but call park for exact closure dates because they do change.
This is a nice KOA with full hook ups, tent sites,cabins, and even glamping cabins. There is a pool that is open Memorial Day- Labor Day. They also have a catch and release pond and we found a pickleball court at a nearby city park.
We did Chinatown and walked part of the Schuylkill River trail which we accessed by parking near Fairmount Park. This is a great area to explore with gorgeous views and easy access to the River trail. (There are rentals for everything here- kayaks/bikes etc)
IF we had a car with us- we would have considered taking the ferry from Camden’s Ferry Terminal next to Wiggins Park to Philly. (This is also near the Adventure Aquarium and the battleship New Jersey) Here is a link to information about the ferry-

This is a great location for exploring Philadelphia.
Happy Camping! Pamela and Keith
GuideI arrived on a Tuesday a few days after they closed the pool, and by Wednesday I had the whole row of tent sites to myself. Maybe that's why it was so peaceful, but every night after my cacophonous conference in Philadelphia, I couldn't wait to turn down Timberlane Road and see that little KOA sign glowing in the darkness. In addition to the peaceful vibe, the people are friendly, the little office store has everything you forgot to pack, and 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.
Yurt camping near Concordville, Pennsylvania provides versatile shelter options within 20-30 miles of town. The area sits at roughly 400 feet elevation in the Brandywine Valley, experiencing moderate seasonal changes with average summer temperatures around 85°F and winter lows near 25°F. Most campgrounds in the region maintain operations from April through October, with limited winter availability at select sites.
Fishing opportunities: At Philadelphia-West Chester KOA, visitors can enjoy fishing along the Brandywine River. "Fishing available!!! Big sell for me," notes Craig W. The campground provides direct water access without requiring special permits beyond standard Pennsylvania fishing licenses.
Hiking trails: Multiple trail systems accommodate different experience levels throughout the region. "We spent Saturday afternoon fishing but not catching anything at Scott's Run. It's a beautiful location and it was still a fun way to spend the day with the kids away from the site," reports a visitor at French Creek State Park Campground. Most trails remain open year-round, though spring conditions often include muddy sections.
Local attractions: The area's central location puts campers within driving distance of cultural sites. "Close to Longwood Gardens; Wilmington, Delaware; and a handful of local museums and gardens. Not too far from Philadelphia," according to Matt S. at Philadelphia-West Chester KOA. Most attractions require entrance fees ranging from $10-30 per person.
Riverside sites: Waterfront camping spots offer relaxing views and direct access. "The river sites are great but can get muddy and there is a big hill to get up and out," notes Jim N. about Philadelphia-West Chester KOA. These premium sites typically require earlier reservations and cost $5-15 more per night than standard sites.
Recreational amenities: Campgrounds in the region maintain various on-site activities. "The pool is nice, they have a store and a playground," Jim N. adds about Philadelphia-West Chester KOA. Most pools operate Memorial Day through Labor Day, with some facilities requiring modest daily usage fees.
Natural surroundings: The region's wooded landscapes provide shade and privacy at many sites. At French Creek State Park Campground, "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," according to Jen R. Tree coverage varies by campground, with state parks typically offering more natural spacing between sites.
Site selection considerations: Campground layouts and site types vary significantly. "About what you expect from a KOA. If you can manage without full hookups, choose the spots down by the creek. The views are the best in the place," advises Laura R. about Philadelphia-West Chester KOA. Sites near water features may experience more foot traffic from other campers.
Reservation timing: Peak season (May-September) requires advance planning. At Lums Pond State Park Campground, "I understand why it is so difficult to get a reservation at Lums Pond. I don't know if it's the host campers or the management, but they're definitely doing something right," writes Mark. Most campgrounds open reservations 6-12 months in advance.
Yurt availability: Yurt camping near Concordville, Pennsylvania concentrates in state parks and select private campgrounds. "French Creek State Park Campground houses yurts and luxury glamping accommodations with electric hookups, picnic tables, and reservable sites," mentions one visitor. Yurt reservations typically require 3-night minimums during peak seasons.
Playground access: Children-friendly facilities enhance family camping experiences. At Lancaster-New Holland KOA, "This place is small but very very nice. It has awesome views. Nice little playground for the kids," shares Arnold M. Most campground playgrounds accommodate ages 2-12 with standard equipment.
Activity scheduling: Organized events help keep younger campers engaged. At Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA, "They offer so many activities during the day and text you so you don't forget," notes Nicole S. Weekend activities typically run May-September and may require small participation fees or pre-registration.
Kid-friendly campgrounds: Some facilities specifically design experiences for younger visitors. "Our daughter really enjoyed the playground (which was excellent, by my standards)," writes Mark about Lums Pond State Park Campground. Family-oriented sites typically cluster near central amenities to minimize walking for little legs.
Site access challenges: Larger RVs face navigation difficulties at some locations. At Philadelphia-West Chester KOA, one camper reports, "I did have major trouble backing in because the road is too narrow for a 45' motorhome to back in on a nearly 90-degree angle. So difficult, that I cracked the bottom of my front cap catching the grass and gravel beside the grave road." Always verify site dimensions before booking.
Hookup configurations: RV campers should verify utilities before arrival. At Hibernia County Park, "There are NO HOOKUPS, and water is not easy to come by if you are in an RV. If you are coming in an RV, you should come with a full water tank," advises Jennifer S. Hookup availability ranges from primitive sites to full-service connections.
Leveling requirements: Terrain varies across campgrounds, affecting RV setup. "The site was fairly level, side-to-side, so I really only needed to level front to back. That was a bonus," notes Mark at Lums Pond State Park Campground. Many campgrounds provide gravel pads, but bringing leveling blocks remains advisable for all sites.
