    Lums Pond State Park Campground

    Impromtu tent camping success!

    I 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.

    Tohickon Valley County Park

    Great stop for a Bikepacker

    No 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.

    Philadelphia-West Chester KOA

    Nice Campground Near Philadelphia

    West 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.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Perfect even in the Rain

    First 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.

    Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA

    Close to Philadelphia

    We 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-

    https://www.delawareriverwaterfront.com/places/riverlink-ferry

    This is a great location for exploring Philadelphia.

    Happy Camping! Pamela and Keith

    Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA

    Peaceful New Jersey

    I 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.

    Allentown KOA

    Awesome campground

    Really nice campground. Staff was friendly and helpful. It’s very secluded, no highway noise. Our spot backed up right to a creek and it was beautiful. Only giving 4 stars because the toilets had problems and the dump station didn’t have running water. Would definitely return regardless.

Guide to Douglassville

French Creek State Park offers tent sites with paved level areas on spacious campgrounds that aren't crowded together. With options for both primitive camping and sites with electric hookups, the 7,526-acre park sits 15 miles southeast of Reading. Visitors can explore two lakes, hiking trails, and a disc golf course during their stay. The park's elevation and wooded setting creates moderate temperature fluctuations between day and night, even during summer months.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: At French Creek State Park Campground, anglers can catch several warm-water fish species including "northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish." Winter visitors can enjoy ice fishing as "ice thickness is monitored" for safety.

Boulder field exploration: The unique terrain at Blue Rocks Family Campground features a glacier rock field perfect for exploring. "Our campsite had a great view of the glacier rock field and the corn field," notes one camper who enjoyed this distinctive landscape feature.

Canoe the Brandywine: Philadelphia-West Chester KOA provides direct river access where "the river is usually very calm and good for a float." A visitor mentioned the campground has "canoeing schedule" options available, and another shared that "there are two different playground in the same area to accommodate kids of all ages."

What campers like

Yurt comfort: Yurt camping near Douglassville, Pennsylvania offers a comfortable glamping experience. Lake-In-Wood Campground features yurts among their "really neat and different rentals" that provide comfort with woodland surroundings. One visitor noted the campground has a "huge pond for fishing, miniature golf, nice indoor and outdoor pool and a kiddie pool."

Privacy between sites: Campers appreciate well-separated sites at French Creek State Park where "there is a lot of shade and the campground is laid out well." As one reviewer noted, "As long as you don't stay right across from the bath houses you will find ample shade at your site. There are so many trees and brush in between most sites you can't even really see your neighbors."

Amish country views: At Lancaster-New Holland KOA, visitors enjoy "unobstructed views of the Amish farmland" from their sites. One camper called it the "best kept secret in the area" with "peaceful, beautiful valley views of Amish country."

What you should know

Off-season camping available: Some area campgrounds remain open during colder months. A December visitor to French Creek noted "showers and bathrooms were great" and mentioned "the honor system of payment at the office makes it really easy to come in late and leave early."

Limited privacy at some parks: Green Lane Park offers beautiful surroundings but campers should know that sites lack privacy barriers. "The sites are lined up next to each other along the campground driveway and there are absolutely no trees or shrubs between them," reports one visitor who checked out the park.

Expect seasonal rates: Prices vary widely by campground and season. A visitor to Philadelphia-West Chester KOA noted the premium riverfront sites were "a bit pricey" at "$91 bucks a night," while others like Hibernia County Park cost just "$15/night" according to a recent review.
