Best Campgrounds near Coopersburg, PA

Campgrounds surrounding Coopersburg, Pennsylvania range from established RV parks with full hookups to state park cabin rentals and forested tent sites. The Quakertown area features several mixed-use campgrounds including Quakerwoods Campground and Little Red Barn Campground, both accommodating tents, RVs, and cabin rentals. Within 20 miles, campers can find Nockamixon State Park Cabins and Lake Towhee County Park, providing a mix of primitive and developed sites. Boulder Woods Campground and Tohickon Family Campground offer additional options with varying amenities and accommodation types spread throughout the region's wooded countryside.

Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, typically from April through October, with limited year-round options. Lake Towhee County Park provides more basic facilities with drinking water and toilets but no electric hookups, while private campgrounds like Colonial Woods Family Resort offer comprehensive amenities including full hookups, showers, and on-site stores. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during summer weekends and holidays when facilities reach capacity. The terrain varies from flat, accessible areas to more wooded, private sites. A visitor to the area noted that "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."

The quality and privacy of campsites vary considerably across the region's campgrounds. Private campgrounds like Ringing Rocks Family Campground and Mountain Vista maintain higher ratings for their amenities and cleanliness, while some county parks offer more basic but quieter experiences. Campers frequently mention the surrounding Pennsylvanian countryside as a highlight, with access to fishing lakes, hiking trails, and nearby attractions. RV campers appreciate the full hookup options at several facilities, though tent campers sometimes report challenges with site selection. One reviewer cautioned about site placement: "We are tent campers and were placed at the far end of the campground... all of the locations around or close to the bathroom/shower rooms were RVs." Wildlife viewing opportunities and seasonal activities feature prominently in positive reviews of the area's camping destinations.

    AT Group Campsite near Lehigh Gap

    Good site for camping

    Camped here the night before doing Lehigh Gap, it was less than a mile from the parking at Blue Mountain Rd. (Official A.T. parking). The only downside was my sleeping pad sprung a leak, so it wasn't the best night's sleep. But the site itself was great and I would camp there again.

    Blue Rocks Family Campground

    Very nice but a little pricey.

    Been here many times always in the fall. Never been here in summer so have never used the pool. Great little store and small grill restaurant. The trails and the rocks are nice. Our site was very rocky and on an incline so hard to get the camper level. It was a “pop up/tent” site and we were in a small travel trailer so it’s understandable. Only criticism is the it’s very pricey for what you get. And there online booking system isn’t very accurate as it said they were sold out and there was many open sites all weekend. Would be much better it they made more sites have even basic electric.

    This is a have to stay campground

    Excellent stay. We spent 2 nights and had 2 sites. Big sites very quiet and the staff I’d exceptional. Even better is the amazing price!

    Homestead Campground

    Here for a week

    Beautiful park. Looks like only 2 of the spots are for campers, rest are full time residents. The farther back you go in the park the worse condition the rv are. At time of visit the closest bathroom was under repair, it happens. Aggravating issues: Dump station has no water. People walk their dogs right thru your camp site and then don’t pick up after them.

    But yea, beautiful place

    Locust Lake State Park Campground

    Edit: 1 star- Scout sites before paying!

    Beware: these sites are not travel trailer friendly.

    We booked two nights but upon arriving, we realized that there was no way to fit our trailer (only 25 ft). Trees were growing up in all the sites that were available and most of the ones without trees in the way were pointing in the wrong direction for backing into and NONE were level. Called the office, they told us what other sites were available and we tried every one. Only one was remotely suitable for a travel trailer and we had to drive the wrong way through the loop to be at the right angle to even try backing it in. No luck. I’m honestly shocked that they label some of these sites as RV friendly because wow. We left and had to find other accommodations. Trying to get a refund and currently navigating their phone system/trying to get a refund. Three phone conversations later and I’ll have to call another number on Monday to get the right person to issue the refund. We’ve never stayed at PA parks before but if they’re all like this, then it makes it really hard to plan when some sites are fine for trailers and some aren’t even close. Just heads up.

    UPDATE: Called back during business hours and got the “park manager.” Could only give a partial refund for one of the two nights. I said that they weren’t clear on the condition of the sites and he said there was nothing he could do about it.

    Hard with a large group

    Harder to do with a large group due to the early quiet hours, but park is very nice and well kept

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Dog owners read!

    There’s four loops. All connected A through D. We just needed a place to park and sleep so I got D011. Got there at 11pm and the D loop says no pets allowed. Not sure why when they are at every other loop but we had no where else to go and the area is pretty far off from anywhere else so the ol lab stayed in the camper. The bathrooms are tile and really nice with showers. And it was really quiet and chilly so a nice fall camp site. Just know ahead of time if you’re a dog owner!

    Village Scene Park

    Tucked-Away Community Vibe

    I’m following up on my review from over a year ago with updated insights, additional photos and a quick breakdown of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS: 

    HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Convenient suburban location near Philadelphia yet surprisingly quiet; (2) Full-hookup RV sites with 30 / 50 amp, water, and sewer; (3) Affordable rates compared to other campgrounds in the region; (4) Smaller, tight-knit atmosphere with friendly long-term residents; (5) Pet-friendly, with walking areas and green space; and (6) Nearby restaurants include Franconi’s Pizzeria for classic pies and cheesesteaks and Appalachian Brewing Company with pub fare and house-brewed beers. 

    LOWLIGHTS: (1) Sites are narrow and can feel cramped, so don’t expect big pull-throughs; (2) Limited amenities with no pool, clubhouse, or playground; (3) Grounds feel more like a residential mobile home park than a campground; (4) Some infrastructure is dated and could use upgrades; and (5) Not much in the way of natural scenery because, um, this is urban camping. 

    Happy Camping!


Guide to Coopersburg

Campsites near Coopersburg, Pennsylvania range from primitive forest sites to full hookup areas within 20 miles of town. The region sits at approximately 600 feet elevation in the rolling hills of eastern Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, with camping options spanning across Bucks and Berks counties. Weather conditions typically allow for comfortable camping from April through October, with summer highs averaging in the mid-80s and evening temperatures cooling to the mid-60s.

What to do

Disc golf at Boulder Woods: The course at Boulder Woods Campground is a major draw for disc golf enthusiasts. "They sell disc golf things in the store as well. This course is huge and brings in groups who play for the day," notes one visitor. The campground hosts tournaments throughout the season.

Visit Ringing Rocks Park: Located minutes from Ringing Rocks Family Campground, this unique geological formation allows visitors to create metallic sounds by striking certain rocks. "Mom was away so took 3 babies on a trip. Went to Ringing Rocks county park and the kids were having so much fun making music they didn't want to leave," shares one camper.

Paddle on local waterways: The Delaware River and Nockamixon Lake provide paddling opportunities. Multiple boat launches are available at Nockamixon State Park Cabins, though be prepared for varied conditions. "You can kayak there but the whole lake permits wakes so expect for some choppiness as the boats go back and forth."

What campers like

Private tent sites: Some campgrounds offer secluded tent camping areas separated from RVs. At Tohickon Family Campground, "We went with friends for a weekend. Both families have little kids and it was a great spot with a playground, construction digging area, and a bunch of activities for the kids to do."

Fishing opportunities: Many local camping areas feature fishing ponds or lake access. One visitor to French Creek State Park Campground noted, "There are two lakes, Scotts Run Lake and Hopewell Lake that you can fish, 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."

Fall camping season: The autumn months offer excellent camping conditions with fewer crowds. A camper at Lake Towhee County Park reported, "Deciduous forest with nice fall color. There are trails from the campground to the lake. Day use area with playground is walking distance. Perfect fall weather."

What you should know

Site terrain varies significantly: Many campgrounds feature rocky terrain that can be challenging for tent setup. At Mountain View Campground, "The ground is moderately rocky, so there may be some slight troubles getting tent stakes in the ground."

Flooding concerns in wet weather: Some tent sites become problematic after rain. One camper at Tohickon Family Campground warned, "Don't come if your in a tent And It Has Been or will rain, It Becomes Flooded or turns into A mudPit."

Campground policies differ: Rules around arrival times, quiet hours, and site occupation vary widely between facilities. At Mountain View, a visitor noted, "I reserved two nights, but the first night we were not going to be able to arrive until after 9. After talking to them, they would not allow us to come late, but did refund the first night."

Tips for camping with families

Choose campgrounds with dedicated kid activities: Some facilities offer scheduled events for children. A family visiting Colonial Woods Family Resort shared, "They did a few activities the one we did go to was the casino night where they had separate play areas for kids and adults. All the money made is donated to Shriners Children's Hospital."

Consider bathroom proximity: When camping with children, bathroom location becomes important. A visitor to Little Red Barn Campground advised, "Only one bathroom and it's very far from the primitive sites." This is particularly relevant for tent campers with young kids.

Look for water features: Swimming pools or splash pads provide entertainment for children during hot weather. "The pool and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times," reported one Colonial Woods visitor, though they added, "The posted pool hours were not as described they don't really tell you but it was open a little later."

Tips from RVers

Site access challenges: Many local campgrounds have narrow roads and low-hanging trees. One RVer at Colonial Woods warned, "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)."

Consider site layout before booking: RV sites vary greatly in size, levelness, and hookup locations. "The sites are all covered in stone, and I don't mean just the area where you park, I mean it was like camping on a stone driveway," reported one Colonial Woods camper, adding that "while the seasonal sites have lots of room the transient sites are much more on top of each other."

Dump station logistics: Plan for potentially busy dump stations during peak checkout times. At Colonial Woods, "Dump station location isn't ideal on a busy morning. I heard they might work on a second dump location and was told to ask if it's ok to stick around until it dies down if our site isn't needed soon."
