Tent camping options surrounding Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania include several campgrounds ranging from group-oriented sites to primitive walk-in tent campsites. Fort Washington State Park Campground offers tent camping sites about 15 miles northwest of Feasterville-Trevose, though camping is primarily for organized groups by reservation only. Evansburg State Park Campground, situated approximately 25 miles west, provides walk-in tent sites with more primitive backcountry camping opportunities, though reviewers note campers must haul gear by foot to reach these secluded areas.
Most tent camping areas near Feasterville-Trevose feature basic amenities such as fire rings and picnic tables, but access to drinking water varies significantly between locations. Campers at Evansburg should prepare to carry equipment some distance, as one reviewer mentioned that "the only downside is having to haul gear by foot to the campsite." Tent sites are typically set on natural surfaces with minimal grading. While Fort Washington offers electric hookups, many of the primitive tent camping options in the region maintain a more rustic experience with vault toilets and limited facilities. Seasonal closures affect several campgrounds, with Washington Crossing State Park (temporarily closed for 2024) typically operating from April through October.
The backcountry tent camping experience near Feasterville-Trevose provides access to numerous hiking trails, fishing spots, and natural areas. Many campsites are well-shaded, providing relief during summer months. Evansburg State Park offers tent campers opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, and fishing in a relatively secluded setting. The park's natural environment creates memorable outdoor experiences despite its proximity to suburban areas. As one visitor described, "I've spent countless hours hiking and fishing in Evansburg... looking for adventures." Fort Washington State Park features 3.5 miles of hiking trails with good birding opportunities, making it a worthwhile destination for tent campers interested in wildlife observation, though its group camping orientation limits options for individual primitive tent camping experiences.

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!

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.

First time camping
As far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.
Guide to Feasterville-Trevose
Tent camping near Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania concentrates primarily in forested areas within a 25-mile radius, with elevations ranging between 200-400 feet above sea level. The region experiences humid continental climate patterns with four distinct seasons, creating variable camping conditions throughout the year. Primitive campsites in state parks require campers to park in designated lots and transport gear on foot to reach secluded spots.
What to do
Paddling opportunities: The region offers multiple waterway options for kayaking and canoeing. At Round Valley State Park Campground, located about 35 miles from Feasterville-Trevose, campers can enjoy water recreation on a 2,350-acre reservoir. According to one visitor, "The water is crystal clear, the area is clean... If you're looking for a getaway without doing backcountry planning this is the place."
Bird watching excursions: Several parks offer excellent bird watching opportunities, particularly during migration seasons. Fort Washington State Park Campground features observation platforms for spotting various species. As one camper noted, it has "Over 3.5 miles of trails leading to Hawk Watch observation decks, which birders will marvel at and the rest of us will simply appreciate the vista."
Creek exploration: The waterways in Montgomery County parks provide opportunities for wading and exploring. At Ridley Creek State Park, campers can hike along clear streams. One visitor shared, "I had the best time here hiking up and down the mini mountains. The water was clear and beautiful and I absolutely loved it."
What campers like
Secluded camping spots: Many campers appreciate the privacy offered at certain sites. At Wharton State Forest - Batona Campground, approximately 45 miles southeast of Feasterville-Trevose, visitors enjoy isolation. One camper stated, "It is so easy to get lost in these woods and I LOVE IT! If you want off the beaten path and not close to anyone... this is IT!"
Historic significance: Several campgrounds offer access to Revolutionary War history. Washington Crossing State Park features historical reenactments that campers can incorporate into their trips. A visitor mentioned, "Every year, they re-enact Washington's troops crossing the Delaware! It was VERY cold the year I went."
Trail access from sites: Campers appreciate direct trail connections from camping areas. Batona Campground offers immediate access to hiking paths. One review noted, "Best part of this campground is trailheads begin directly from campsites. Trails vary in length but all are flat and easily accessible."
What you should know
Camping restrictions: Many parks in the region only permit group camping rather than individual sites. For instance, at Goshen Pond — Wharton State Forest, approximately 45 miles southeast, "Our site was private and secluded," but some reviewers caution that "a lot of the sites are close together without any barriers, so if the campground got crowded it wouldn't be very private."
Primitive facilities: Most tent camping options feature basic amenities only. Some parks like Alverthorpe Private Park have limited maintenance. A visitor observed the "Ancient shelter and group pavilion are charming in a 'needs new plumbing' sort of way."
Site access challenges: Several campgrounds require significant walking to reach tent sites. At Round Valley, "It takes some effort to get there," with a reviewer noting that "Some of the sites are at least 3 miles to get to unless you take a boat across."
Tips for camping with families
Boulder exploration: Children often enjoy climbing on natural rock formations at Boulder Ridge Farm, about 30 miles northwest of Feasterville-Trevose. A camper reported, "Great place to escape the stress of every day life. Plenty of fire wood, really cool huge rocks and waking up to owls was awesome."
Educational opportunities: Plan camping trips around historical events at parks. Washington Crossing has family-friendly programming with one camper mentioning it is "enjoyable for the entire family. There are some fun, tasty custard stands nearby for a summer treat."
Wildlife observation: Many parks offer opportunities for children to spot local animals. Green Lane Park provides good viewing chances, though one visitor warned that despite being a "beautiful park with a small campground," the "spaces are right on top of each other with no tree cover between spots."
Tips from RVers
Size restrictions: Most camping areas near Feasterville-Trevose cannot accommodate large RVs due to narrow access roads and limited turning space. At Wharton State Forest, "The unpaved road into the site is narrow and tree lined. A larger RV would not fit."
Parking considerations: Tent campers who bring RVs should be prepared to park in designated areas separate from tent sites. At Goshen Pond Campground, sites are "very quiet, but a lot of the sites are close together without any barriers" and "It's only a one minute walk from the parking area to the site."
Alternative options: Consider staying at campgrounds with more accommodating facilities when bringing larger vehicles. For Green Lane Park, though "a beautiful park with several well marked trails for hiking," reviewers note "the campgrounds are clean but the sites are way too close together and there is not any privacy."
