Quakerwoods Campground and Lake Towhee County Park accept pets throughout their facilities, offering tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins for campers traveling with animals. Both locations enforce on-leash policies in common areas, with designated pet exercise zones available near camping loops. The tent sites at Lake Towhee provide more seclusion for reactive dogs, with sites spaced far apart in a deciduous forest setting. Very private and set back in the woods, these sites offer a secluded camping experience while remaining a short drive from larger recreation areas. Camping with dogs requires advance reservations at most facilities, especially during peak summer months when pet-friendly sites fill quickly.
Tohickon Family Campground's riverfront trails provide excellent dog walking opportunities, though the green-tinged water makes swimming less appealing for pets. All campgrounds require proof of current rabies vaccination and limit pets to two per site with additional fees ranging from $3-8 per night. The surrounding Bucks County area features several dog-friendly hiking trails including South Mountain Trail and portions of the Upper Bucks Rail Trail with miles of wilderness to explore. Boulder Woods Campground enforces quiet hours at 11pm which helps reduce barking disturbances between neighboring sites. Nearby veterinary services are available in Quakertown, approximately 10-15 minutes from most campgrounds, with emergency pet care available at the Quakertown Veterinary Clinic.

"Nothing bad about this place, I love that it's set far enough away from the main road that you don't get the noise."
"The only thing I wish the DCNR would do is expand the dog friendly cabins. While we managed to get one of the dog friendly ones here, they are limited in number and Hill's Creek had no such cabins."
"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."

RangerWe stayed here for a night in transit. Beautiful campground — lots of trees, pond, kids play equipment, dog park, etc. facilities all clean and whole place is well maintained. Easy late arrival. Good location - convenient but far enough off the highway. Would stay here again.
ScoutBeautiful Campground. Clean. Gravel sites. Fire ring and picnic table. All sites have ample room. Lots of pull through for bigger rigs. Wooded. Large dog park. Love the Campground except our site is near a fairly busy road which takes away from that beautiful tranquility. They have camouflaged it as best they could. Friendly staff. Lots to do. Pool, tennis. Sauna, pond for fishing ( catch & release ). Would definitely recommend.
ScoutBeautiful and fun. Kind staff. Hoping for a dog park in the future.
TravelerThis was our first camping trip with our camper. The staff are wonderful, the whole campsite is very dog friendly and even has a dog park. Lots of stuff to do for kids including a game room. Only downside is the sites are a bit small. Overall, great place to camp. Beautiful hiking trails nearby.
GuideMy family and I stayed at French Creek State Park while attending an event in Reading. The park was clean and well maintained. We stayed in Loop A which had no camp host. The camp hosts were in loops B & C. We had a full hook up site. The water and electric worked great! The campground was well patrolled by Rangers throughout our stay. The bathhouses appeared to be clean and maintained. The quiet time starts at 9pm and seemed to be followed by most campers. There are numerous hiking trails in the park that seemed to be well marked and maintained. The park is about 20- mins from Reading, and 10 mins from Birdsbroro. There are many stores and restaurants in the area for food and supplies if needed. We had good cellular service with both AT&T and T-Mobile. The one downside was that there was no off leash dog park. We had to take our dog to a dog park in Birdsbroro. We would stay at this park again.
GuideWe stayed here for 3 nights and thought well of the park. The place was meticulously clean and the permanent campers keep their sites so well. The pool was warm, clean and enjoyable. There’s a nice playground and a GaGa pit. There’s lots of space to walk your dog on leash but no dog park. We had an issue with our surge protector and the manager had an electrician out to us quickly who helped us solve a problem. Pleasant staff in the camp store. The laundry area and shower rooms are beautiful and clean.
There is nothing to do in the immediate area, but we were there to use the bike trails and bop around Jim Thorpe…about 25 minutes away via pretty country roads.
Guidewell marked trails great for hiking. pet friendly! we love walking here with our dog. there are even a few great spots to get a small creek swim in! It also has a greag picnic area with grills.
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.
TravelerWe went on a last-minute trip from Philly in what I think was opening weekend (April). We wanted to hike with toddlers, so that took up most of our Saturday. Main Ranger Station was really nice. We hope to come back and see more of the campground itself and try additional hikes. We took the short drive to Hawk Falls Trail and also completed the Orchard Trail Loop. Bathrooms with showers were just what we needed and easy to walk to, shared between our pet-friendly loop and another loop. Good sinks for cleaning dishes.
Stayed at 199 on the pet-friendly 165-228 loop. Lots of people walking dogs. Very varied length of campsites and privacy. Many around the inside of loops, especially right at the bathrooms would have been pretty tight, or possibly good if you were reserving a couple in a row. Would have been nice to have a big tree between ours and site 195, but there was some distance.
Check out was 3pm, which is awesome!
Coopersburg sits at approximately 400 feet above sea level in the rolling hills of southeastern Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. The surrounding woodlands transition between oak-hickory forests and riparian zones along creek beds. Spring camping often brings nighttime temperatures down to the 40s while summer highs regularly reach the upper 80s with moderate humidity.
Disc golf adventures: Boulder Woods Campground features an extensive disc golf course that attracts enthusiasts from throughout the region. "They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," explains Erik W. The course winds through wooded terrain, making it challenging for both beginners and experienced players.
Waterfront activities: At Nockamixon State Park Cabins, the large lake provides numerous recreation options. "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," notes J K. The park maintains boat rentals from April through October with kayaks starting at $15/hour.
Musical rock exploration: The unique geological formation at Ringing Rocks County Park creates an unusual attraction. "Bring a hammer," suggests Gregg G., as the rocks produce metallic sounds when struck. The site is just a 2-minute drive from Ringing Rocks Family Campground, making it easily accessible for campers.
Private tent sites: Several campgrounds offer secluded tent camping options away from RV areas. "The tent sites are very private, and secluded tent sites with clean facilities for when you need some civilization," mentions Keith about Ringing Rocks Family Campground. These sites typically require more walking but provide greater solitude.
Seasonal activities: Campgrounds organize regular events throughout the camping season. "They had so much for the kids to do! Friendly staff and clean sites!" Shannon C. notes about Halloween weekend at Ringing Rocks. Most dog friendly campgrounds near Coopersburg maintain activity calendars from April through October.
Forest setting: Lake Towhee County Park provides a true woodlands experience. "Very secluded and set back in the woods, but only a short drive to Nockamixon. Would definitely stay again!" reports Emily G. The deciduous forest setting creates natural boundaries between campsites, with tent sites spaced approximately 50-100 feet apart.
Site surfaces vary: Campground terrain differs significantly between locations. "Sites are very close together. Site numbers are on the back of the sites, very hard to see from the road," Kim B. cautions about Colonial Woods Family Resort. Many campgrounds use gravel or stone for RV sites while tent areas may be dirt or grass.
Weather considerations: The region receives approximately 48 inches of rainfall annually, which can affect campsite conditions. "Don't come if your in a tent And It Has Been ior will rain, It Becomes Flooded or turns into A mudPit," warns LU D. about Tohickon Family Campground. Sites near creeks or in low-lying areas are particularly susceptible to flooding.
Reservation timing: Pet-friendly camping options fill quickly during peak season. "Very private and set back in the woods, these sites offer a secluded camping experience while remaining a short drive from larger recreation areas," notes one camper. Most campgrounds require reservations 2-3 months in advance for summer weekends.
