LegendWashington Crossing Historic Park, straddling Pennsylvania and New Jersey along the Delaware River, is one of those rare places where you can literally camp in history. The Pennsylvania side is all about historic buildings, museums and picnic spots, while the New Jersey side (Washington Crossing State Park) offers organized group tent camping. This isnāt the place for a cushy RV getaway or individual tenters looking to sneak in for the night, but rather a structured, group-style camping steeped in Revolutionary War atmosphere. First impressions? More Boy Scout jamboree than weekend getaway, but if youāre here for camaraderie and heritage, youāve hit the mark.
Facilities are deliberately minimal. On the Pennsylvania side, camping is limited to a handful of Scout-designated sites with portable toilets, no running water and zero frills. Across the river in New Jersey, the official group camping area provides open tent-only sites with no hookups, no pets and strict quiet hours. Think old-school camping: fire rings, pit toilets and a heavy dose of āleave no traceā ethos. Reservations are required, permits are non-negotiable and the max stay tops out at 14 nights. What you do get is a wide, peaceful forest setting with plenty of space for tents, youth groups or scout troops along with the kind of simplicity that makes you feel like youāve stepped back in time.
Beyond the tent pads, the surrounding parks are rich with history and outdoor options. On the Pennsylvania side, youāll find the visitor center, historic McConkeyās Ferry Inn, Bowmanās Hill Tower, and interpretive programs that bring the Revolutionary War era to life. Picnic areas and a boat launch offer ways to enjoy the Delaware River. In New Jersey, miles of wooded trails lead you through rolling hills and historic landscapes, perfect for hiking and birdwatching. Itās a spot where history buffs, scouts and nature seekers can all find common ground.
Insider Tips? Hereās a handful: (1) The best group sites are the ones tucked furthest from the trailhead as (surprise, surprise) theyāre quieter and offer more privacy; (2) Stock up before arriving, as there are no supply stores inside the park, so head on over to nearby Weis Markets in Langhorne or ShopRite in Fairless Hills, both of which are on the PA-side; (3) Be sure to bring all your own water as none is available onsite; (4) Kayakers should launch from the Pennsylvania sideās boat access for an iconic paddle on the Delaware River; (5) Visit the parkās historic reenactments, especially the Christmas Day Crossing event as itās easily the most memorable history lesson youāll ever get outdoors; and (6) When youāre done camping, fuel up at Itās Nutts Restaurant on the Jersey side in Titusville for classic diner-style comfort food or Franciscoās on the River for Italian fare with Delaware River views.
Happy Camping!
GuideEasy access from Rt 80 and located close to the Lakota Wolf Preserve. With tours leaving them campground twice a day on both Saturday and Sundays for the wolf preserve, I was glad there was camping so close. The camping selection of sites is excellent with Cabins, Glamping tents, primitive tent sites and of course RV sites. I choose to stay in one of the glamping tents and was pleasantly surprised at the space inside the tent even with a double bed and two other fold out couches to beds. Water is available at the site. A small lake for swimming and boating. And lots of trails linking you to the Delaware river water gap area.
GuideNo 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 itās great. The Delaware Canal is nearby with the tow path for biking. That makes this a nice Bikepacking stop.
TravelerHaving been here on a few occasions I will say it is def a beautiful spot in many regards. However, there are some downsides.
Positives: sites are decent sized with fire pits and picnic tables. easy access to hiking, convenient to a beautiful vineyard, peaceful region, and the most amazing wolf preserve is right next to you.Ā Ā
Negative: limited access to firewood. sites are picked clean, quiet hours are strongly enforced- which can be a good thing depending upon who you are, the lake is anything but refreshing.

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.Ā
This is a typical KOA with lots of amenities and activities for kidsā 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.Ā
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 āpremiumsā 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.Ā
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.
GuideFirst 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.
RangerThe lake is gorgeous and there are nice hiking trails, but sites are very small and close together. Letās are allowed in less than half of the campground, which means all the dogs are in a smaller area and barking at each other more than other places. The no-pet area was practically empty when we were there midweek but the pets-allowed area was much more crowded than we would have liked.
Also rules and signage are wildly confusing, lots of things contradict each other. Cell service exists but not great for remote work.
Dispersed camping near Emmaus, Pennsylvania sits at the edge of the Lehigh Valley, where elevations range from 400 to 1,000 feet, creating varied terrain for campers. The region experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 70-85Ā°F, making May through October the prime camping months. Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally with limited winter accessibility, though some provide year-round primitive sites.
Disc golf adventures: Boulder Woods Campground offers an extensive disc golf course that draws enthusiasts from across the region. "It has boulders and woods. They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," shares a camper who stayed at Boulder Woods Campground.
Rock exploration: Bring a hammer to create unique musical experiences at Ringing Rocks. "Lovely trails and the rocks are something else," notes one visitor to Ringing Rocks Family Campground. The unusual geological formation allows rocks to ring with metallic sounds when struck.
Hiking options: Access the Appalachian Trail directly from some campgrounds for day hikes or longer treks. "Lovely camp site with access to a lot of amenities, all the while keeping a 'primitive' feel. Super easy access to Appalachian trail. Trail heads begin inside the campsite," explains a camper at Blue Rocks Family Campground.
Lake activities: Multiple lakes provide fishing and boating opportunities within 15-20 minutes of most campgrounds. "We spent Saturday afternoon fishing but not catching anything at Scott's Run. It was a beautiful location and it was still a fun way to spend the day with the kids away from the site," a visitor at French Creek State Park reports.
Secluded tent sites: Some campgrounds offer more private spots for tent campers seeking quiet settings. "The tent spots are pretty much on top of each other, not much privacy. It's next to a farm so the sunrise is pretty nice. They deliver firewood to your site," notes a reviewer at Quakerwoods Campground.
Well-maintained facilities: Campers appreciate clean bathroom facilities at several glamping locations. "Phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing," mentions a reviewer about Green Lane Park, highlighting the diversity of activities beyond just accommodations.
Seasonal activities: Weekend-specific themed events enhance the glamping experience, especially for families. "We went on Halloween weekend and they had so much for the kids to do! Friendly staff and clean sites!" shares a visitor to Ringing Rocks Family Campground.
Diverse accommodation options: From primitive tent sites to luxury glamping, the region offers varied stays. "French Creek State Park is a 7,526-acre Pennsylvania state park with so many wonderful activities. We LOVE camping here as the campsites are not right on top of one another. There are three separate loops to camp at, plus an area for large group camping which can accommodate anywhere from 30 to 60 people," explains a satisfied visitor at French Creek State Park Campground.
Seasonal operation: Most glamping sites near Emmaus operate from April through October, with limited off-season availability. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other. Bathrooms were very nice and clean with large showers," reports a camper at French Creek State Park.
Site selection matters: Site quality can vary significantly within the same campground. "The sites are very close together. Site numbers are on the back of the sites, very hard to see from the road. Very few showers," notes one visitor to Colonial Woods Family Resort.
Weather considerations: Spring can bring muddy conditions at some locations with dirt tent pads. "We had a great Halloween weekend but we were down by creek so it was very muddy. Everything else about this campground was great!" shares a camper at Tohickon Family Campground.
Size restrictions: Some luxury glamping sites have limitations for larger RVs. "The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed," warns an RVer at Colonial Woods Family Resort.
Playground access: Select glamping sites with dedicated children's areas for downtime between activities. "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," explains a reviewer at Allentown KOA.
Organized activities: Several campgrounds offer structured programming for various age groups. "Great place to just relax. I have spent many weeks here, nice setup and spacious sites. The rocks really do ring when hit with another rock," explains a visitor to Ringing Rocks Family Campground.
Swimming options: Pools provide supervised water recreation at several glamping locations. "Great camping, great hiking, pretty close to stores if you need anything. Staff is incredible!! Very polite, helpful, and just all around awesome people!" shares an enthusiastic visitor at Tohickon Family Campground.
Boulder climbing: Natural rock formations at certain campgrounds provide unique play areas. "Our children loved to climb all over the rocks, that is where they spent most of the time. Primitive but fun!" explains a visitor about Blue Rocks Family Campground.
Hookup variations: Electric service ranges from 30-50 amp depending on the campground, with full hookups available at premium sites. "All sites do not have a water hook up but there is water available and some sites have electric," notes a camper at French Creek State Park.
Site leveling: Many glamping areas feature paved or level sites for easier RV setup. "It cost us $65 for the weekend plus a $6 service fee for using the Reserve America website. We had electric however no water or sewer hookup," mentions an RV camper.
Accessibility challenges: Some luxury camping locations have narrow access roads that challenge larger rigs. "It can be tight getting around with a bigger camper if not experienced," warns a visitor to Allentown KOA about navigating the campground.
Seasonal restrictions: RV sites at glamping locations may have age restrictions for seasonal rentals. "Three years ago, we fell in love with this campground. We knew we had to find an RV and become seasonals. Fast forward, we bought one, went to talk to them... They only allow seasonal campers to be 10 years old or newer. Ours is 13," reports a disappointed visitor at Boulder Woods.
