Both locations provide electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, with Lake In Wood Resort offering additional luxuries like firewood delivery, a market for supplies, and full bathroom facilities with hot showers—essential comforts that elevate the glamping experience beyond traditional camping.

    Lums Pond State Park Campground

    Impromtu tent camping success!

    I 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.

    Hersheypark Camping Resort

    Something for Every Type of Camper!

    This campground has a little something for everyone, from full hook up sites neatly stacked next to each other, to quiet patches of grass next to the river. After spending two nights up in the electrical hook-up area closest to the train tracks, we decided that we needed a better night’s sleep. Yes, the trains run all night long, and no, we don’t have air conditioning so couldn't just close the windows. So, we moved down to one of the primitive sites next to the river and enjoyed ourselves much more, plus all the solar we needed. 

    With all the options within this resort, I can understand why it is so popular. Plus, there’s the whole Hershey Park with shuttles running to and from the campground all day long. So, it’s got that going for it. As a campground resort this park aims to serve everyone. If you need your trash picked up, just leave the garbage bag in front of your site, and someone will be along soon enough to collect it. The bathrooms are immaculate, air conditioned, but many of the showers had wonky temperature controls so check it out before you commit.  Each bathroom building also offers laundry machines to take care of those necessities as well. The campground has a large playground, game room, gift shop and a large outdoor pool. 

    Nearby, closer than you might even want, you can find food, groceries, gas, booze and traffic (at least during convention center event weekends). But there are also some really cool mom and pop restaurants, some craft beverage drinkeries, and places to walk, bike and get into some disc golf. This is close enough to be a bedroom community of Harrisburg, so the park is basically located in a tucked away corner of suburbia. If you have the time, go to the Grandview Winery nearby they have a lovely selection of vintages which really hold up to this wine snob’s approval. 

    The campsites are well spaces apart, unless within the central loop, and give the allure of being tucked away in the forest. Water is well spaced and is close by. The walk to the bathroom however, can be a stretch depending on where you park so plan according to your needs. But the woods provide an easy way to answer the call! : )

    Tohickon Valley County Park

    Great stop for a Bikepacker

    No 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 it’s great. The Delaware Canal is nearby with the tow path for biking. That makes this a nice Bikepacking stop.

    Philadelphia-West Chester KOA

    Nice Campground Near Philadelphia

    West 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. 

    This is a typical KOA with lots of amenities and activities for kids– 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. 

    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 “premiums” 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. 

    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.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Perfect even in the Rain

    First 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.

    Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA

    Close to Philadelphia

    We stayed here for 3 nights while visiting family In Philadelphia. It is a 20 minute ride into Philly and Uber was was quick and responsive.

    *note- this does close for winter and reopens in April but call park for exact closure dates because they do change.

    This is a nice KOA with full hook ups, tent sites,cabins, and even glamping cabins. There is a pool that is open Memorial Day- Labor Day. They also have a catch and release pond and we found a pickleball court at a nearby city park.

    We did Chinatown and walked part of the Schuylkill River trail which we accessed by parking near Fairmount Park. This is a great area to explore with gorgeous views and easy access to the River trail. (There are rentals for everything here- kayaks/bikes etc)

    IF we had a car with us- we would have considered taking the ferry from Camden’s Ferry Terminal next to Wiggins Park to Philly. (This is also near the Adventure Aquarium and the battleship New Jersey) Here is a link to information about the ferry-

    https://www.delawareriverwaterfront.com/places/riverlink-ferry

    This is a great location for exploring Philadelphia.

    Happy Camping! Pamela and Keith

    Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA

    Peaceful New Jersey

    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, but every night after my cacophonous conference in Philadelphia, I couldn't wait to turn down Timberlane Road and see that little KOA sign glowing in the darkness. In addition to the peaceful vibe, the people are friendly, the little office store has everything you forgot to pack, and if you look around the campground edges or follow the walking trail into the woods, you will find wonderful native plants like blueberry, viburnum, clethra, and meadow beauty.


Guide to Geigertown

Camping options near Geigertown range from primitive tent sites to fully-equipped cabins across several campgrounds within a 30-mile radius. The area sits within Chester County's rolling hills at elevations between 300-600 feet, with moderate seasonal temperatures typically ranging from 25°F in winter to 85°F in summer. Spring and fall offer optimal camping conditions with less humidity and temperatures between 55-75°F.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Hibernia County Park offers multiple water features for anglers. "There is a very nice playground situated conveniently between the loops of the campground. If you don't want to hang around the campground there are two lakes, Scotts Run Lake and Hopewell Lake that you can fish at, kayak, canoe or just relax by," notes one visitor at French Creek State Park. Chambers Lake at Hibernia is ideal for beginners, with a dedicated children's pond. "The children's pond is a short ways away for well stocked fishing," mentions a camper.

Trails for all levels: Multiple hiking options exist throughout the region. At Blue Rocks Family Campground, "It's right at the base of one of the most popular hiking trail, The Pinnacle. It's nestled in the woods and is very rustic. Really gives you that camping feel!" The unique boulder field provides an interesting hiking destination. "Our campsite had a great view of the glacier rock field and the corn field."

Cultural experiences: The Amish countryside offers unique opportunities just a short drive away. Country Acres Campground provides "free tickets available for the Amish Farmland Bus Tour." One visitor noted, "Watching a horse drawn equipment cutting grass while we cooked dinner was a joy." The Lancaster area provides opportunities to experience Amish culture firsthand, with working farms and markets within 25 miles of Geigertown.

What campers like

Well-maintained facilities: Lancaster-New Holland KOA earns consistent praise for cleanliness. "The campground is very clean, nice spots with gravel and nice views. The store was stocked well with essentials, and the women running the store was very helpful and friendly." This attention to detail extends to bathhouses. "The bathhouse was clean and only 1 bout of cold water why showering but a quick on and off of the water did the trick."

Scenic settings: The rolling countryside provides memorable views at several locations. "Beautiful valley views of Amish country," reports one visitor about Lancaster-New Holland KOA. Similarly, Philadelphia-West Chester KOA offers waterfront sites: "The river sites are great but can get muddy and there is a big hill to get up and out."

Unique accommodation options: Beyond standard glamping in Geigertown, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas, Lake In Wood Resort offers specialty units. "They also have specialty rental cottages and a real tipi and caboose. Great place to bring a family!" Another camper mentioned, "There are a lot of really neat and different rentals here like a tree house, double decker bus, among others."

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. "The honor system of payment at the office makes it really easy to come in late and leave early, make sure you have cash on you as it was unclear If checks were accepted," reports a French Creek visitor. "Most sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other."

Seasonal considerations: Operating seasons vary by campground. Dutch Cousin Campground operates with extended seasons. "Great smaller campground. Staff was friendly, general vibe was low key. A lot of year round sites." One visitor noted this is "a great central location to TONS of antique shops."

Site selection matters: Terrain varies significantly within each campground. "Fiddler's loop is where we always camp so this review will be Fiddler's loop specific. We camp in a 28ft 5th wheel for the most part," explains a Hibernia County Park visitor. They continue, "Most sites are heavily wooded which means plenty of hammock hanging opportunities. The sites are mostly grass, and not very well defined."

Tips for camping with families

Pool access: Several campgrounds feature swimming options during warmer months. "This place has everything! Mini golf, playgrounds, indoor pool, outdoor pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, Cafe, arcade, camp store, pond with fishing, kayak and peddle boat rentals," explains a visitor to Lake In Wood Resort. The pools often include shallow areas for younger children.

Kid-friendly activities: Planned events keep younger campers engaged. "The pool is nice, they have a store and a playground," notes a visitor to Philadelphia-West Chester KOA. Another camper at Blue Rocks mentioned the "Large campground with RV sites and Tent only. Wooded area lots of activities."

Playground access: Philadelphia-West Chester KOA features multiple recreation options. "Amenities are all standard and clean. The location is fairly convienet for philly or other touristy trips." For families with various aged children, note that some playgrounds are separated by age group. "There are two different playground in the same area to accommodate kids of all ages."

Tips from RVers

Site accessibility: Large rigs require careful site selection at many campgrounds. "I did have major trouble backing in because the road is too narrow for a 45' motorhome to back in on a nearly 90-degree angle," warns a Philadelphia-West Chester KOA visitor. At French Creek, "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."

Hookup variations: Electric service differs between campgrounds and sites. At Hickory Run Family Camping Resort, "The 'pet loop' was clearly geared towards RVs etc. All of the sites are full electric and more than a few have very little space for a family size tent to be safely away from the fire ring." Some campgrounds like Hibernia County Park have no hookups at all, requiring self-sufficient camping.

Leveling considerations: Many sites require adjustment. A Blue Rocks visitor noted, "Our site had a great view of the glacier rock field and the corn field. Upon arrival we realized that our camper was not going to fit on the site we reserved. The office was very easy to work with and we easily traded sites."
