"Site next to us had a pipe break, they had a maintenance crew come out immediately and fix it. Amish stores/attractions close by for some entertainment also."

TravelerCampground sites are nice and spacious, bathrooms are good, and there’s plenty to do for everyone. We hiked the 7.5mile lake trail with our two pups. It was beautiful and along the way there were opportunities to kayak/sup, beach it, or even play on a ropes course. We always travel with our dogs and this place has the BEST dog park. Big open space with access to lots of water play. We definitely recommend this spot!
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 and fun. Kind staff. Hoping for a dog park in the future.
GuideWe loved it here. It accommodates a large family reunion with plenty of space. The campground was well populated but we didn’t feel cramped at all. Super dog friendly. Many little dog parks throughout. Great pool.
GuideI 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.
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.
GuideThis camp boasts a stream and beautiful city bridge for water play in the summer and photography in the cooler months. Grounds, bathrooms, showers, playgrounds, dog park, everything. This park is wonderful!
TravelerNice campground with well taken care of sites. There is a pond to fish from, a dog park for your furry friend to play at and a few playgrounds for the kids.
TravelerThis is an amazing campground! There are 2 dog parks right next to each other, which is great for your furry friend to be able to run around and play off leash. And for the kids there is an arcade, a ferris wheel and some other rides. On Saturday nights they usually have a band playing on the stage which is really neat. There is also a ice cream place to get a nice cold treat. The RV spots are really nice and well kept.
French Creek State Park offers dog-friendly camping within 7,526 acres of forest land in Berks and Chester counties, about 15 miles southeast of Reading. Loop C is designated as the only pet-friendly loop across four camping areas at this established campground. Campers with dogs can choose from sites with paved, level pads that accommodate both tents and RVs with electric hookups, though no water connections are available at individual sites.
Disc golf adventures: Boulder Woods Campground features an extensive disc golf course popular enough to host tournaments. "Great disc golf course," notes Benjamin C., while Karralee B. explains, "The camp ground has a very large golf disc course... They sell disc golf things in the store as well. This course is huge and brings in groups who play for the day."
Fishing opportunities: Hibernia County Park provides fishing access at multiple locations. "The children's pond is a short ways away for well stocked fishing," explains Anna. For more serious anglers, "Walking/hiking trails and the lake were super peaceful," according to Chelsea, who visited the Lake Loop camping area.
Amish countryside tours: The Lancaster-New Holland region offers chances to observe traditional farming. At Lancaster-New Holland KOA, April L. reports, "The daily views of fields, farmers plowing with horses or the buggys going by was great." Matt S. adds that it's "a great spot for visiting Pennsylvania Amish of Lancaster County and about a one-hour drive to Hersheypark."
Privacy between sites: Blue Rocks Family Campground earns praise for its natural separation between campsites. "Great amenities, private and spaced out primitive sites. One mile off the Appalachian trail," according to Catherine M. Lorie O. adds, "I am a tent camper, and it's great to be able to camp without getting stuck near an RV with it's hookups running."
Off-leash areas: While most pet-friendly campgrounds require leashes, some offer dedicated areas for dogs to run. Boulder Woods Campground provides pet-friendly tent, RV and cabin accommodations. "The office was very easy to work with and we easily traded sites. It worked out great as we were able to get a full hookup without having to pay anything extra," notes Jen R.
Clean facilities: Spring Gulch Resort Campground maintains well-kept shower houses. Phinon W. observed, "The bathhouse had individual bathrooms and showers. Each was pretty clean and spacious." The campground offers pet-friendly RV and cabin options, with Phinon noting, "The one we stayed in had a set of bunk beds, a queen bed, and a fold out couch. It also had a bathroom with shower/tub."
Limited water access: At several campgrounds, water sources require planning. French Creek State Park provides water spigots but not at individual sites. As Jen R. notes in Loop C, "There was a spigot for water at the next site over from us, so we didn't have to walk far to get fresh water."
Seasonal availability: Campgrounds operate on different schedules. Green Lane Park's Deep Creek Campground runs April through October, while Lancaster-New Holland KOA opens mid-April through October 31st. Check specific dates when planning dog-friendly camping trips.
Varying pet rules: Lake-In-Wood Campground has designated pet areas. "We had a great time at this campground. 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," mentions Jen R., who also notes the campground offers a range of amenities including "miniature gold, nice indoor and outdoor pool and a kiddie pool."
Boulder fields exploration: Kids enjoy natural rock formations at Blue Rocks. Gayle B. reports, "The best part was hiking in the boulder field!" while Terri S. adds, "our children loved to climb all over the rocks, that is where they spent most of the time. Primitive but fun!"
Playgrounds access: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas for children. At Sun Valley Campground, Becca U. notes, "There were also planned activities for children and adults." French Creek State Park has "a very nice playground situated conveniently between the loops of the campground," according to a reviewer.
Youth fishing ponds: Hibernia County Park features designated fishing areas for children. "Great children's pond for 12 and under," explains John Z. Anna elaborates, "The children's pond is a short ways away for well stocked fishing."
Site selection guidance: French Creek State Park offers paved pads that simplify setup. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," notes Jen R., who stays in Loop C with pets.
Narrow access roads: Some campgrounds have tight turns for larger rigs. April L. at Lancaster-New Holland KOA advises, "If you have a decent sized rig I would steer clear of this row. The road for this row is narrow and there is a fence that makes backing in more difficult, especially for a 30+ ft travel trailer."
Hookup limitations: Be prepared for partial or no hookups at certain campgrounds. At Hibernia County Park, Jennifer S. warns, "There are NO HOOKUPS, and water is not easy to come by if you are in an RV. If you are coming in an RV, you should come with a full water tank."
