Revolutionary History near Delaware River
Nestled along the picturesque Delaware River in beautiful Bucks County, Washington Crossing Historic Park is one of those destinations where American history practically jumps out from behind every tree. This sprawling, beautifully preserved historic park commemorates George Washington's daring Christmas night crossing of the Delaware in 1776, with charming colonial buildings, expansive green spaces, shaded walking paths and lovely riverfront scenery. Divided into Upper and Lower sections, the park offers plenty to explore, from historic homesteads and interpretive exhibits to scenic picnic areas and the impressive Bowman's Hill Tower. Unfortunately, while the park delivers a wonderful outdoor experience, traditional overnight camping isn't part of the equation unless your a Boy Scout or accompanying one of their troops.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spectacular Revolutionary War history at the very site of Washington's legendary Delaware River crossing; (2) Beautifully maintained grounds featuring mature trees, open lawns and scenic riverfront views; (3) Fascinating colonial-era buildings, historic demonstrations and educational exhibits that bring America's founding history to life; (4) Wonderful recreational opportunities, including walking, cycling, fishing, kayaking and picnicking; and (5) Convenient proximity to charming New Hope, the Delaware Canal towpath and Bowman's Hill Tower, offering plenty of opportunities to extend your adventure.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) No conventional public tent or RV camping, with overnight group camping restricted to organized Scout groups by prior arrangement; (2) No dedicated RV campsites, electrical hookups, water connections or dump station; (3) Park grounds generally close at sunset, limiting opportunities to linger into the evening; (4) Some historic buildings and attractions require admission fees or operate on limited schedules; and (5) Periodic restoration projects and special events can restrict access to certain areas, while the historic Washington Crossing Bridge's three-ton weight limit makes it unsuitable for larger RVs.
Happy Camping!

Upscale Parking Paradise at This Home Fixer-Upper
Located just off US Route 1 in the upscale Princeton area, this spacious Lowe's serves up a surprisingly pleasant patch of pavement for weary road warriors looking to catch some shut-eye. Set back roughly 80 yards from the highway, this big blue home improvement retailer offers a generously sized parking lot with relatively manageable traffic, good maneuverability and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect from such a busy suburban retail corridor. The western and southern edges of the lot are particularly appealing for an overnight stay, and with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several other retailers nearby, convenience certainly isn't in short supply. Better yet, the store management was friendly and accommodating when we called ahead to arrange our overnight visit.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spacious, paved parking lot with plenty of room to maneuver larger rigs; (2) Convenient access to US Route 1 and nearby I-95; (3) Western and southern parking areas offer quieter spots away from the busiest customer traffic; (4) Excellent nearby conveniences, including Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several dining options; and (5) Friendly store management that welcomed our overnight stay, plus surprisingly good opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) Some daytime retail traffic and occasional road noise, although nothing terribly disruptive; (2) No RV hookups, dump station or dedicated overnight camping facilities; (3) Parking areas closest to the store can become crowded during business hours; (4) Limited greenery and little of the scenery you'd expect from a traditional campground; and (5) While the overnight experience was excellent, this is still a commercial parking lot rather than a destination for an extended stay.
Happy Overnighting!

Peaceful Wilderness Escape for Adventurous Families
There's something wonderfully special about escaping into nature where the only sounds are rustling leaves, birds singing and the gentle movement of water along the shoreline. Nestled among the wooded hills surrounding the beautiful Round Valley Reservoir, this rustic SP campground offers families a chance to disconnect from everyday distractions and enjoy a little wilderness adventure together. Unlike traditional campgrounds, the campsites are accessible only by hiking or boating, so getting anywhere here requires some planning and a willingness to travel light. Once you've arrived, you'll find secluded, wooded campsites with picnic tables, fire rings and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Amenities are basic, with pit toilets and no showers, but the beautiful reservoir, scenic hiking trails, fishing and kayaking opportunities more than make up for the lack of modern conveniences. Our kids loved exploring the woods, spotting wildlife and gathering around a crackling campfire at night to share stories beneath the stars. For families comfortable with the hike, I'd recommend choosing one of the campsites along the reservoir shoreline for the lovely water views and peaceful surroundings. Just remember that swimming is limited to the park's designated beach area. Round Valley isn't your typical family campground, but for adventurous families who enjoy hiking, camping under the stars and making wonderful memories together, it's a beautiful place to experience nature at its finest!

This campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.

Park uses county cops to shut down park by 9pm.
On Friday, September 4, 2026, I rented a trailer and brought my family to Cheesequake State Park to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary over the extended Labor Day weekend. Around 9:20 PM—well before the park's designated 10:00 PM quiet hours—we were sitting inside our canopy, playing Jenga, and listening to low background music. Two officers from the Matawan Police Department approached our campsite. They were polite and courteous, simply offering a standard reminder to wrap things up by 10:00 PM. Before they could leave, however, a third, senior officer intervened. Wanting to"show them how it's done," he made the two polite officers return and stand by to watch as he demonstrated how to aggressively harass campers. Flashlight in hand, the senior officer approached with an immediate hostile attitude, treating us like criminals as he demanded to know who rented the site. He began reiterating rules and claimed we had too many vehicles. We had three cars, one belonging to my brother-in-law's girlfriend, who was visiting with her daughter. She had paid the$10 visitor fee at the main office and was instructed by staff to obtain the gate access code from us, the primary renters, if she got locked in. No staff member ever informed her of an 8:00 PM visitor departure deadline, leading us to reasonably assume visitors were permitted until quiet hours began at 10:00 PM. The officer rudely snapped that she had been given wrong information. The senior officer then used profanity in front of three small children, aggressively telling her to ("get her shit and get the fuck out!") in that manner or use profanity, the officer went from hostile to furious. He angrily declared that these were official violations and threatened that he could be issuing us tickets instead. Desperately searching for anything and everything to throw at us, he demanded that we turn off our idling car—which was supplying power to our campsite—and instructed us to make sure the campfire was doused before shutting down for the night. He then proceeded to shine his flashlight into our private setup—including our canopy, tents, and the inside of our trailer—searching for any other possible violation while the two polite officers were forced to watch. What was supposed to be a special 10th wedding anniversary celebration with my family was completely ruined by a senior officer misusing his authority to put on an unnecessary display of intimidation. Worse than just ruining our night, he spent that evening teaching those two police officers how to be bad cops. He corrupted two officers in real time, demonstrating firsthand exactly why most people have lost faith in the police force. The next day we was ready for them. We turned off our lights and quietly by the fire while they went next door to harass an asian family that had just set up camp and had their leds lights on.

Simple, peaceful FHU
We stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.

Beautiful campground, loud campers
Beautiful campground but made the mistake of going on a holiday weekend, the campgrounds next to us were screaming and blasting music all day and throughout the night so we ended up leaving early. A beautiful campground when there aren’t noisy capers ruining it.
Guide to Feasterville-Trevose
Campgrounds within 30 miles of Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania range from rustic tent sites to full-hookup RV parks. The area sits at approximately 200 feet above sea level with a humid continental climate featuring hot summers and moderately cold winters. Fall camping remains popular through October when daytime temperatures average 55-65°F, though night temperatures can drop below 40°F.
What to do
Disc golf at French Creek State Park: The park features a wooded course that challenges players of all skill levels. "I would suggest checking out Peace Valley Nature Center, which is only about 10 minutes away from here and features good walking trails near a small lake," notes a visitor to Village Scene Park.
Fishing in multiple lakes: Both Scotts Run Lake and Hopewell Lake at French Creek State Park contain diverse fish species. "There are several warm water fish in the lakes including northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish. Ice fishing is also allowed at both lakes," explains a reviewer.
Visit historical sites: The region contains significant Revolutionary War history. "This very place lies in significance from the Revolutionary War when it housed troops led by then General George Washington on the way to Valley Forge," mentions a camper at Fort Washington State Park.
Rock climbing: Tohickon Valley offers natural rock formations for climbers. "Some of my favorite parts of this park are a good 100' rack wall perfect for climbing, great fishing, trails for miles that even connects to the AT," shares a visitor to Tohickon Valley County Park.
What campers like
Private, spacious campsites: Many campgrounds offer secluded sites with natural buffers. "We came late and left early but our campsite was big, we weren't on top of our neighbors, it was set back into the trees, and the sounds were incredible. We saw lots of deer and signs for a pool!" reports a camper at Tohickon Valley County Park.
Year-round camping options: Several parks remain open during winter months. "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," notes a French Creek State Park visitor.
Bird watching opportunities: The region attracts diverse bird species throughout the year. "Should you call yourself a bird watcher, you'll be particularly interested as from this very spot you can view the beautiful raptors that migrate here on a seasonal basis in both the Spring and Autumn," explains a reviewer at Fort Washington State Park.
Quiet atmosphere: Many campgrounds offer a peaceful retreat despite proximity to urban areas. "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," shares a visitor to Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA.
What you should know
Limited individual tent camping at some parks: Fort Washington primarily offers group camping. "No RV or tent-by-the-river solo camping: group-only policy means solo adventurers need to carpool or carry heavy guilt," explains a reviewer.
Seasonal facility closures: Many campgrounds close certain amenities during off-peak months. "We arrived on a Tuesday a few days after they closed the pool," notes a Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA camper.
Alcohol restrictions: Several state parks prohibit alcohol consumption. "This is no alcohol permitted in the park due to it being a state park, however that all depends on how open you are about it and the Park rangers," explains a visitor to Tohickon Valley County Park.
Bathroom quality varies widely: Facility maintenance differs between parks. "The bath/shower house in this loop was adequate and includes two dish washing stations outside. The showers had good pressure and hot water. It was cleaned often throughout the weekend, however it is definitely in need of an update," reports a visitor at French Creek State Park.
Some sites prone to flooding: Weather impacts certain campgrounds significantly. "Don't come if your in a tent And It Has Been or will rain, It Becomes Flooded or turns into A mudPit," warns a camper at Tohickon Family Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds have dedicated play areas. "Great place to take the kids for a night or two of lovely moderate hiking and outdoor experience," shares a visitor to Tohickon Valley County Park.
Educational opportunities: Historical sites offer learning experiences. "For history buffs, check out nearby Morgan Log House, which has some nice historical significance," recommends a Village Scene Park reviewer.
Water activities for kids: Lakes and pools provide recreation options. "There is a huge lake where you can rent canoes and kayaks. A huge pool that has a beautiful view overlooking the lake," notes a French Creek State Park camper.
Entertainment alternatives: Nearby attractions offer options during bad weather. "Should you need to let the kids unwind for a bit to run around and explore, I would suggest a trip over to Legoland Discovery Center," suggests a Fort Washington reviewer.
Child-friendly sites: Look for campgrounds with appropriate amenities. "This campground was so well maintained. There was so much to do there a pool, lake, horseshoes, cornhole, playground, big pillow and even more," explains a Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling considerations: Look for campgrounds with prepared parking areas. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze," shares a visitor to Nockamixon State Park.
Limited big rig access: Not all campgrounds accommodate larger vehicles. "If you have a large camper or 5th Wheel you may need to double check what sites can accommodate your RV to ensure you have enough room," advises a French Creek State Park camper.
Hookup availability: Options vary between full-hookup and primitive sites. "Full-hookup RV sites with 30/50 amp, water, and sewer," notes a Village Scene Park visitor.
Suburban RV options: Some parks offer camping in residential areas. "You'll be driving down tree-lined, shady streets one moment and the very next, you'll happen across this unusual spot that seems to have carved itself years ago into the very suburban neighborhood," explains a Village Scene Park reviewer.
Site privacy considerations: RV areas offer varying levels of separation. "Sites are narrow and can feel cramped, so don't expect big pull-throughs," warns a Village Scene Park camper.
