As one visitor noted, "The glamping tents were more glamorous than we had tried before, with a good combination of woodsy and comfort." These safari-style tents and furnished accommodations eliminate the need for extensive camping gear while maintaining an authentic outdoor experience with modern amenities.
Evansburg State Park's extensive trail network surrounds its glamping accommodations, offering immediate access to fishing in Skippack Creek where guests regularly catch brown trout.
