What to do
Disc golf course access: Boulder Woods Campground offers an extensive disc golf course popular with both campers and day visitors. "This course is huge and brings in groups who play for the day. They sell disc golf things in the store as well," notes Karralee B., who appreciated how the campground accommodates this growing sport.
Water recreation options: Nockamixon State Park Cabins provides multiple water-based activities through its two separate lakes. "Great place to picnic fish from land or boat, go for a nice scenic walk, go Kayaking, etc. If you don't own a boat, you can rent one right at the lake," reports J K., who visited with family.
Historic site exploration: Campers staying at French Creek State Park Campground can easily visit Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site and Daniel Boone Homestead nearby. "There are a ton of picnic tables too so you can take a lunch and just sit by the lake to relax and have a bite to eat. We have also attending an Orienteering event here which was nation wide and really exciting," shares Jen R.
What campers like
Private tent sites: Little Red Barn Campground earns praise for its secluded tent camping areas despite closer RV sections. "I took a walk with my dog and saw the primitive sites tucked in the back of the grounds. I immediately went to the office to ask to move to a primitive site and they allowed us to move without any issues. We ended up setting up camp at site 31 - which was spacious enough for two large tents and very private," writes Kelsey K.
Wooded cabins: Mountainview Campground offers cabin rentals in heavily wooded settings. "It's a quiet wooded campground (not all spots, but most). Easy to get to, and friendly family ownership. They also have trailer hookups with electric and water and while not that remote (close to the River Towns in NJ) it feels remote when you are in the wooded spots," according to Robert J.
Wildlife viewing: Secluded cabin sites around Coopersburg often provide unexpected wildlife encounters. "Once it was time to turn in for the night, that's when the cool part happened. I've camped many times at multiple state parks, huge remote state forests, but I've never heard so much wildlife there as I did here. Only shortly after we settled into our tent did we hear foxes fighting right outside our tent, the snorts of deer, and there were bats right above us all night making noise!" reports Christina H. about her stay at Mountainview Campground.
What you should know
Seasonal operation: Most cabin facilities near Coopersburg close during winter. "We have visited Quakerwoods campground three years in a row with a large group including several kids. As a group of about 40, we typically take up the entire section of sites 101-105 during an annual Fall camping trip," mentions Christine D., highlighting the popular fall camping season.
Variable cabin conditions: Tohickon Valley County Park offers both rustic and modern cabins with significant differences between them. "Since it was late in the season, I called ahead to make sure this campground (22 individual sites plus two group sites and four cabins– two rustic and two modern) was still open," shares Lee D., who found the campground surprisingly empty during the off-season.
Pet policies: Rules regarding pets in cabins vary significantly by property. "We managed to get one of the dog friendly ones here, they are limited in number and Hill's Creek had no such cabins," notes John S. about his stay at Nockamixon State Park, emphasizing the importance of confirming pet policies before booking.
Tips for camping with families
Playground availability: Boulder Woods Campground offers multiple recreation options for children. "The tent sites are on dirt and not stone which we enjoyed, I hate stone under my tent. The general store had everything plus, and very reasonably priced," writes Karralee B., who found it suitable for group camping with families.
Pool facilities: Colonial Woods Family Resort maintains a pool and splash area specifically designed for younger visitors. "The pooL and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times. The posted pool hours were not as described they don't really tell you but it was open a little later if not the posted hours were like 6pm and it way to early for a hot summer day if you ask me," explains Nicole S.
Organized activities: Ringing Rocks Family Campground schedules family-oriented events throughout the season. "We went on Halloween weekend and they had so much for the kids to do! Friendly staff and clean sites!" shares Shannon C., highlighting the campground's themed weekends.
Tips from RVers
Cabin alternatives: Allentown KOA offers cabin options for those who don't want to bring an RV but want similar amenities. "This campground is cozy, friendly, and has a sweet sounding creek that you camp near. It has many kid friendly amenities as well as being very relaxing. Restaurants and stores less than 10 min away," mentions Becky M.
Site layout challenges: Colonial Woods Family Resort requires careful navigation for larger rigs. "Ok so let me start off by saying. If we still had our smaller travel trailer this review would've been at least 4 stars. However this place is not the place for you if you have a fifth wheel. The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed," warns Brian C.
Winter accessibility: French Creek State Park Campground offers year-round cabin options when most other facilities close. "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great! If you're traveling through, there are many places to eat nearby. I'm a women in my thirties traveling alone and I felt very safe here," reports Galit P.
