RV campgrounds near Concordville, Pennsylvania offer diverse accommodations within the rolling countryside of southeastern Pennsylvania where elevations range from 250-400 feet above sea level. The region experiences four distinct seasons with hot, humid summers and moderately cold winters. Most campgrounds operate from April through November, with select facilities remaining open year-round for winter camping enthusiasts.
What to do
Kayaking opportunities: At Thousand Trails Circle M in Lancaster, campers can enjoy riverside activities along the Susquehanna. "The campground sits in the center of a horseshoe curve of the river, bring tubes and kayaks! We didn't know but went and bought a tube and spent the day on the river!" reports Karla R.
Fishing experiences: Lums Pond State Park Campground in Bear, Delaware offers freshwater fishing approximately 30 miles from Concordville. "They have a large pond that you can rent paddle boats and small v-bottom boats! We did enjoy the paddle boats and saw a few cranes! They offer fishing at the pond which was also enjoyable!" shares Amanda H.
Miniature golf: Lake-In-Wood Campground provides entertainment beyond the RV pads. "There is a quarry close by so you could hear the trucks beeping and the noise from there but that was the only negative thing. Huge pond for fishing, miniature gold, nice indoor and outdoor pool and a kiddie pool," notes Jen R.
What campers like
Waterfront camping: Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina offers premium water-adjacent sites. "Camped here at the end of summer, really loved it. Had our kayaks with us and the water wasn't but a few steps away. Some sites you are right on the waters edge," writes Janet P. The park is gated and situated at the back of a quiet neighborhood.
Spacious camping areas: Sun Valley Campground in Narvon receives praise for its site configurations. "Weekend stay here and instead of leaving on Sunday, we booked another day. Great swimming pool, immaculately clean bathrooms and showers. Well wooded campground with friendly staff and guests," comments Jim C.
Live entertainment: Many campgrounds host regular events throughout camping season. "Saturday night bands are concert worthy. We have enjoyed our stay more than you ever imagined," reports Scott J. about Sun Valley Campground, while Circle M offers weekend activities including "a magician came, my kids loved it," according to Leanne B.
What you should know
Seasonal operation limitations: Most facilities close during winter months. Spring Gulch Resort Campground operates from March 21 through December 1, while Sun Valley Campground runs a shorter season from April 1 to November 1. Only a few parks including Lums Pond State Park Campground and Village Scene Park remain open year-round.
Site conditions vary significantly: Spring Gulch Resort Campground terrain can present challenges. "The campsite options are fairly level, but are very rocky, so this is something to keep in mind if you are tent camping. We have heavy duty solid steel pegs and still had trouble pegging everything down," warns Phinon W.
Reservation requirements: Holiday weekends fill quickly throughout the region. "We camped here over Memorial Day weekend and it was full," notes Jen R. about Spring Gulch. At Lums Pond, Ellen B. advises: "Book early because it fills up fast!"
Tips for camping with families
Look for dedicated children's activities: Lake-In-Wood Campground offers multiple family-friendly amenities. "From the well-kept gardens and distinctive hotel choices to the family-friendly features like the indoor-outdoor pool and Gnome, is intended to produce enduring memories," shares Robin H.
Consider pool facilities: Many parks feature water recreation. "The kids enjoyed the indoor pool. Looking forward to coming back in the summer," notes Davie Q. about Circle M, while Sun Valley provides "Great swimming pool, immaculately clean bathrooms and showers," according to Jim C.
Check playground accessibility: Lums Pond State Park Campground provides quality play areas. "Our daughter really enjoyed the playground (which was excellent, by my standards). The only complaint I have is that the kiddie swings seem to be modeled after the seasickness machine," reports Mark, highlighting the importance of age-appropriate equipment.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling considerations: When selecting a site at RV campgrounds near Concordville, Pennsylvania, check the terrain specifications. "Very large park. Showed up on Wednesday, and was assigned a spot in loop 700 up on a hill in the center of a ring of trailers. Loop 700 - very nice, new and well-maintained area with mature trees and lovely fall colors," reports Lori about Sun Valley Campground.
Hookup configurations: Village Scene Park offers essential services despite its unconventional setup. "Amenities include: 30/50 electrical amp on all sites, private mailboxes, public water and sewer hook-ups, 24 hour coin-operated laundry, WiFi (albeit quite low speed), restroom/shower facilities (that are just mediocre) and Cable TV/gas for an additional price," explains Stuart K.
Access limitations: Pay attention to road configurations when navigating larger rigs. "The roads were very tight and you really had to watch how you drove through because of the trees. Our site was a drive-through but slanted," cautions Mary C. about Lake-in-Wood Campground, emphasizing the importance of careful maneuvering.
