    Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA provides luxury glamping accommodations just 30 minutes from Gladwyne, with upscale canvas cabins featuring real beds, electricity, and climate control systems. The glamping tents combine wilderness immersion with hotel-like comforts, while Evansburg State Park Campground offers more secluded glamping options within its 3,900 acres of woodland. Both locations provide ready-made accommodations with comfortable furnishings, private outdoor spaces, and proximity to hiking trails. 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. The Philadelphia South KOA features a swimming pool, hot tub, and stocked fishing pond adjacent to its luxury tents and pods. A guest reviewer highlighted that "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." The glamping sites at both locations remain open from April through October, with the KOA offering more resort-style amenities including delivered firewood service, while Evansburg provides a more nature-immersive experience with opportunities to explore its "hidden gem" qualities that include wildlife viewing and scenic creek access. Each location offers distinctive outdoor experiences while maintaining comfortable, hassle-free accommodations.

      Washington Crossing State Park - TEMP CLOSED FOR 2024

      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!

      Country Acres Campground

      Lovely campground!

      Country Acres is a lovely, well maintained campground. Sites are level and bath house facilities clean and modern. Friendly staff in the office. Dog friendly. Local to all the Lancaster attractions. A complimentary farmland tour is offered by bus and it was great. They take you out into an area of Amish farms and shops and make a stop at 2 of these. The fresh Amish pretzels are amazing!

      Round Valley State Park Campground

      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!

      Old Mill Stream Campground

      Never Again

      The advertisements for Olde Mill Campground were disingenuous. The campsite was 20 yards from a roller coaster. The NOISE of the roller coaster and children on it screaming was as relentless and unnerving as any train we have ever slept near. There was no quiet until almost midnight. The “pull-through” site left my truck almost in the road and our 25’ Airstream slightly over the road on the backside. The site was not level. The sites were close enough to hear a neighbor’s snoring.

      Atsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest

      Pine Barrens New Jersey

      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.

      Tohickon Family Campground

      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.

      Country Acres Campground

      Excellent But.

      The campground is in excellent condition. The facilities are top notch. The excellence and care of the campground is evident. The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire.

      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 Gladwyne

    Wharton State Forest offers primitive tent sites near Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, with multiple camping areas spread across its 122,800 acres of Pine Barrens ecosystem. The forest's sandy soil provides natural drainage during rain, making it a practical option for year-round camping. Sites at Atsion Family Campground include waterfront options where campers can launch kayaks directly from their sites.

    What to do

    Fishing in local creeks: Atsion Family Camp provides direct water access where you can catch brown trout and other species. "We tent camped at Bodine campground in 2018. Our site was right on Wading River and we launched our kayaks right at the site!" reports one visitor.

    Historic explorations: Within a 15-minute drive from Atsion, you'll find Batsto Village, featuring preserved 18th and 19th-century buildings. The area contains several historic ruins accessible via dirt roads, as one camper notes: "In the area there are historic buildings and ruins you get to by 'off roading' on all dirt roads."

    Disc golf courses: Boulder Woods Campground maintains an extensive disc golf course for all skill levels. "They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," explains a reviewer who discovered the sport during their stay.

    What campers like

    Waterfront camping sites: French Creek State Park Campground features two lakes for fishing and watersports. "There are two lakes, Hopewell Lake and Scott's Run Lake that you can fish at, kayak, canoe or just relax by," explains a regular visitor who appreciates the water access.

    Spacious, private camping: Many campers prefer the layout at Philadelphia-West Chester KOA, where "the sites, particularly those on the Brandywine River, have amazing views. They are close enough for you to camp with a group, but most also have a small fence between each site to clearly delineate between the sites."

    Yurt camping options: For those interested in yurt camping near Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, French Creek offers year-round yurt accommodations with modern amenities. "There are also two Yurts and one cabin available for rental as well," notes a camper who appreciates these alternative accommodations.

    What you should know

    Seasonal planning: Most campgrounds in the Gladwyne area operate from April through October, though some remain open year-round. Lums Pond stays open all year and, according to a winter visitor, "In February, about 1/4 of the sites were occupied. It was very quiet."

    Weather considerations: The area receives significant rainfall in spring, affecting tent camping particularly at sites like Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park. A camper warns that "you may need to double check what sites can accommodate your RV to ensure you have enough room" as some sites become muddy after rain.

    Reservation requirements: Popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially during summer weekends. "Book early because it fills up fast!" advises a visitor to Lums Pond, where concrete pads and full hookups make it especially popular with RVers.
