Tent camping options surround Glenmoore, Pennsylvania with several established campgrounds within a short drive. Hibernia County Park offers primitive tent camping at its Lake Campground and Fiddler's Loop, providing wooded sites without hookups from May to October. Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park, located north of Glenmoore, maintains tent sites with basic amenities including fire rings, picnic tables, and access to toilets during the April to October season.
Most tent sites in the Glenmoore area feature rustic conditions with minimal improvements. Hibernia County Park provides primitive tent camping with fire rings and picnic tables but no electric hookups or running water beyond spigots at central locations. Sites typically consist of grass or forest floor surfaces with varying levels of shade. Several campgrounds maintain pit toilets or vault restrooms rather than flush facilities. A review mentioned that Hibernia County Park features "running water available, porta potties are very clean and don't smell and are lit with a street lamp. Very quiet at night."
Walk-in tent sites offer greater seclusion for campers willing to carry their gear short distances. Deep Creek Campground provides tent-only areas that require a short walk from parking areas. Sites at Hibernia's Lake Loop are popular with group tenters but offer less privacy than the more secluded Fiddler's Loop, which features heavily wooded sites with hammock hanging opportunities. One camper noted that Hibernia County Park tent sites are "heavily wooded which means plenty of hammock hanging opportunities. The sites are mostly grass, and not very well defined which means the distance between you and your neighbor can vary depending on how you set up camp." Green Lane campsites are described as having limited privacy, with one review stating sites are "right on top of each other with no tree cover between spots."

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.

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.

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.
Brian T.ScoutCountry 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.

What you should know
Bathroom facilities vary widely: Expect different levels of restroom accommodations across campgrounds. At Green Lane Park, Tiffany B. noted, "Bathrooms however are nice and clean with plenty of them around the park," though she mentioned the sites themselves lack privacy.
Reservation requirements: Different booking systems exist throughout the area. For Hibernia County Park, one reviewer explained, "Sites can be reserved on line, by phone, or by 'first come, first served' self-registration," detailing the multiple options available to secure a spot.
Limited RV accommodations: Many campgrounds near Glenmoore have restrictions for larger vehicles. At Susquehannock State Park, David G. observed, "Two loops. One has a few sites with electric and some cabins," indicating the limited availability of electric sites for RVs.
Tips for camping with families

Fishing for kids: Designated children's fishing areas make for engaging activities. "The children's pond is a short ways away for well stocked fishing," notes Anna from Hibernia County Park, describing specialized fishing opportunities for younger anglers.
Trail difficulty considerations: When hiking with children, choose appropriate paths. At Evansburg, a reviewer shared, "Since he was 2 years old I've taken my son, and we always have an amazing time, either hiking the trails to wandering in the woods looking for 'adventures'," suggesting the trails are manageable for various ages.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven grounds at many campgrounds. Jennifer S. from Hibernia County Park advises, "They aren't level, but nothing a little creative positioning can't fix," indicating that RV campers should bring leveling blocks.
Water access limitations: Several campgrounds lack hookups requiring preparation. "There are NO HOOKUPS, and water is not easy to come by if you are in an RV. If you are coming in an RV, you should come with a full water tank," warns Jennifer S., highlighting the importance of arriving prepared.
Dump station availability: Plan for waste disposal before arrival. One Hibernia County Park reviewer cautions, "There is NO DUMP STATION. There are a few nearby campgrounds that will let you dump for a fee, otherwise, you'll have to look for a truck stop on the way home," emphasizing the need for advance planning for longer RV stays near Glenmoore.
