Campgrounds near Glenmoore, Pennsylvania provide a mix of state park and private camping facilities within the rolling hills of Chester and Berks counties. French Creek State Park Campground offers a substantial developed camping area with options for tent camping, RV sites with hookups, and cabin accommodations across multiple loops. Several private campgrounds like Lake-in-Wood Campground and Philadelphia-West Chester KOA expand the range of options with additional amenities. The camping landscape includes both wooded settings and more open areas, typically within 10-15 miles of Glenmoore proper, with most facilities concentrated along the Route 23 corridor and surrounding natural areas.
Many campgrounds in this region operate seasonally, with peak availability from April through October. Hibernia County Park, a rustic camping option near Coatesville, offers tent and small RV camping from May to October with limited amenities. Full-service private campgrounds generally open earlier in spring and stay open later into fall, but advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends and holidays. The terrain varies from flat, developed campsites to more wooded settings with moderate privacy between sites. Weather considerations include occasional summer thunderstorms and cooler spring and fall temperatures. As one camper noted, "French Creek is a beautiful park with lots to do like boating, hiking, swimming, and disk golf. Unfortunately the campsites are really close together not allowing for much privacy."
Recreational amenities consistently rate as highlights at campgrounds in this area. French Creek State Park features extensive hiking trails, lakes for fishing and boating, and a swimming pool that operates during summer months. Several visitors emphasized the variety of outdoor activities available, particularly for families. The private campgrounds often provide additional amenities like camp stores, organized activities, and more extensive hookup options for RVs. Many campers cited the convenient location relative to attractions in southeastern Pennsylvania as a benefit. A recent review mentioned that Hibernia County Park offers "quiet walking trails" and is "great for families," highlighting the park's clean facilities and peaceful atmosphere despite its rustic nature. Mixed-use campgrounds with both developed sites and more natural settings appear to be particularly popular with families seeking varied camping experiences.

Easy access to Lancaster and Pennsylvania Dutch areas. Friendly, welcoming staff and plenty of colorful trees in the autumn. The only RV park in the area that is open year round.

LegendWashington 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!

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!

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.

Great location
We stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.

Echo Valley Campground
Big sites with lots of trees
We only spent the night and didn't look at the amenities. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.

RangerTohickon 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.
