French Creek State Park Campground, situated 45 miles west of Feasterville-Trevose, permits pets at designated campsites while offering various accommodation options including tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and yurts. Nockamixon State Park Cabins allows pets within its rental units and features both boat-in and drive-in access options. Fort Washington State Park restricts camping to organized groups only, though many visitors appreciate the park's extensive trail system for dog walking. Reviews indicate the campground facilities at Evansburg State Park are well-maintained with clean restrooms, though some sites require hauling gear by foot from parking areas. Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA, located in New Jersey, offers full-service camping with pets allowed and amenities including electric hookups, water access, and shower facilities.
Pet owners should note that Alverthorpe Private Park technically allows pets but restricts camping to residents of Abington Township, limiting its usefulness for travelers. When hiking with dogs at Evansburg State Park, be prepared for potentially muddy conditions, especially after rainfall. The park reportedly gets muddier than many other state parks in the region. Most pet-friendly campgrounds in the area require dogs to be leashed at all times, with leash lengths typically limited to six feet. Several campgrounds feature dedicated walking trails suitable for exercising dogs, though designated off-leash areas are limited. For those seeking urban camping options, most retailers that traditionally permit overnight RV parking in the Philadelphia area have varying pet policies and frequently experience heavy traffic and limited security.

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!

Lowe's - W Windsor
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
Camping near Feasterville-Trevose offers diverse options within the suburban Philadelphia region, situated in Bucks County at approximately 200 feet above sea level. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer highs averaging in the mid-80s and winter lows in the 20s, making spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons. Most campgrounds in this region become notably muddy after rainfall due to the area's clay-rich soil composition.
What to do
Hiking with history: At Washington Crossing State Park, explore trails that follow Revolutionary War routes. "It's a quaint historical area kept green and nature friendly. Good for biking and dog walking," notes Curran S. The park's historical significance extends beyond camping with special events throughout the year.
Creek exploration: Wade through shallow waterways at Evansburg State Park during summer months when water levels drop. "Great place to creek hike, nice for horses, we did get a lot of ticks, but not deer ticks, thankfully," reports Meg F. Bring water shoes as creek beds can be rocky and slippery.
Seasonal events: Visit Washington Crossing during winter for historical reenactments. "Every year, they re-enact Washington's troops crossing the Delaware! It was VERY cold the year I went. To warm up, there is a small visitor's center where they have a reproduction of the famous painting commemorating the moment," shares David S.
What campers like
Lake access: Atsion Family Camp at Wharton State Forest provides waterfront camping options. "I always get site #8 and it has an amazing view of the lake. While camping at atsion family campground, you have free access to the recreation center (the beach and some trails)," writes Alexa L. Waterfront sites fill quickly, requiring reservations months in advance.
Spacious sites: French Creek State Park Campground offers well-designed camping areas. "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. Nice area to wash dishes," shares Jen R. The paved parking pads help campers stay level and mud-free.
Overnight convenience: Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA provides essential amenities for short stays. "Stayed here in our RV. It was the closest campground to Philly so we called a Lyft to get us into the city. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We also filled our propane tank here. The restrooms were immaculate compared to most campgrounds," notes Rae M.
What you should know
Restricted camping: Some parks limit who can camp. At Alverthorpe Private Park, "Restricted to only residents. Looks nice, if you can actually stay here," warns Les R. Always call ahead to confirm eligibility requirements.
Weather challenges: Many local campgrounds experience drainage issues. Tohickon Family Campground can be problematic in wet conditions. "Don't come if your in a tent And It Has Been or will rain, It Becomes Flooded or turns into A mudPit," advises LU D.
Group-only sites: Not all parks accommodate individual campers. Fort Washington State Park is "a hidden slice of suburban woodland tucked just outside Philly that is serene enough to reset your social media–addled brain," but camping is restricted to organized groups by reservation only.
Tips for camping with families
Water activities: Nockamixon State Park Cabins provide comfortable accommodations near recreational opportunities. "Love it here! 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," recommends J K. Boat rentals typically cost $15-25 per hour.
Educational trips: Plan visits to nearby historical sites. "In the area there are historic buildings and ruins you get to by 'off roading' on all dirt roads. Great places to kayak and Pineland Adventures right down the street has wonderful trips!" suggests Alexa L. from Atsion Family Camp.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature kid-friendly play areas. French Creek State Park includes "a very nice playground situated conveniently between the loops of the campground. It had some slides, a bridge, lots of monkey bars, ladders to climb on and the best feature was the zip line."
Tips from RVers
Urban access: Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA serves as a convenient base for city exploration. "This is a very nice KOA, just over the Delaware River from Philly. The park is clean, quiet, full of families. The staff are friendly and welcoming. It's easy to navigate to the park from the interstate, and big rigs fit easily," reports Jason E.
Full hookups: Village Scene Park offers practical amenities for extended stays. "We've stayed here a couple times in past. Have family in the area. Grew up in this area so very comfortable and easy access to lots of places!" shares Linda F. The park features water, sewer, and electric connections with level sites.
Pet friendly camping near Feasterville-Trevose: Select campgrounds accommodate travelers with animals. "There were 4 sites taken adjacent to me, the rest of the campsite barely had anyone. There's an empty lot right next to the area designated for RVers, so if you come bringing Fido, you'll have plenty of space for him/her/they to run around and do their business," notes a reviewer about Wharton State Forest.
