What a great place. So unique! Love the view, and a great experience! There are no hook ups, so be prepared but if you are looking for the dispersed camping experience you have found it. What a gem!

Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally from April through October, with some private facilities like Homestead Campground remaining open year-round. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for weekend stays during summer months when facilities reach capacity quickly. The region experiences humid summers and cold winters, with spring and fall offering the most comfortable camping conditions. Campground layouts in this area often place sites close together with limited privacy. One visitor noted, "Green Lane Park is a lovely park with several well marked trails for hiking. The campgrounds are clean but the sites are way too close together and there is not any privacy."
Visitors frequently highlight the abundant outdoor recreation opportunities available throughout the region. The area offers numerous hiking trails, fishing spots at lakes like Hopewell and Scott's Run, and seasonal water activities. Several Green Lane campgrounds provide amenities such as swimming pools, playgrounds, and recreational facilities. While proximity to Philadelphia makes these campgrounds convenient for weekend getaways, campers should be prepared for varying levels of campground development. As one reviewer explained, "Green Lane is a beautiful park with a small campground. The spaces are right on top of each other with no tree cover between spots, so you'll definitely be right up on your neighbors." Developed campgrounds in the region typically provide modern bathhouses with hot showers, while more rustic options may offer only basic facilities. Many mixed-use campgrounds accommodate both tent campers and RVs, though tent campers may find some loops better suited to their needs than others.

Peaceful State Park Camping in the Fall
This is a large campground with a wide array of campsites so be careful attention when you book online, especially if you have a pet because some sites are not pet-friendly. Some are 50-amp full hook-up and some are primitive with no hook-ups.
There is a nice nature center with interesting interpretive exhibits and lots of informational brochures including ones about the hiking trails, bears, scat and tracks of local animals, and fishing. Our site was at the edge of the campground and backed up to Route 534 which resulted in a bit of road noise at our site. Other than the road noise the campground was pretty quiet and was not very crowded when we camped there in October.
Not all sites are level and we happened to book one that was not and we had to live with a slant for our stay. The roads in the park are gravel/dirt and since it rained the day we arrived the roads were a muddy mess which made the roads slippery and there were lots of potholes. Unfortunately, some campers were disrespectful and left bags of trash in the fire pit and scattered around their site which was totally unnecessary because there were dumpsters plenty of dumpsters in the campground. Since we camped at Hickory Run late in the season, there were no camp hosts and the trash never got picked up.
The campground is open from mid-April to mid-December; however, the shower facilities and dump station are not available after the third week of October so plan accordingly. We really like the hiking trails which are of varying degrees of difficulty and lengths. The Hawk Falls is a nice easy walk (1.4 miles round-trip) to a waterfall but is extremely popular so don’t think you will be admiring the falls alone. The parking lot at this trail head fills up fast so you better get there early if you want to get a spot.
You can enter the park from two different directions. If you have a big-rig, it is best to approach from the east side. We made the mistake of coming in from the west side as we dropped down from I-80 and came down 534 and the road was really windy with no shoulder. Luckily, there was very little traffic so we could go 10 mph and safely navigate the roads.
Be aware alcohol is not allowed in PA state parks. This park does allow hunting in certain sections of the park. The no-hunting areas are clearly marked with white no hunting signs on trees and you can also pick up a brochure from the office that designates hunting and no-hunting sections.
Stuart K.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!

Upscale Parking Paradise at This Home Fixer-Upper
Located just off US Route 1 in the upscale Princeton area, this spacious Lowe's serves up a surprisingly pleasant patch of pavement for weary road warriors looking to catch some shut-eye. Set back roughly 80 yards from the highway, this big blue home improvement retailer offers a generously sized parking lot with relatively manageable traffic, good maneuverability and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect from such a busy suburban retail corridor. The western and southern edges of the lot are particularly appealing for an overnight stay, and with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several other retailers nearby, convenience certainly isn't in short supply. Better yet, the store management was friendly and accommodating when we called ahead to arrange our overnight visit.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spacious, paved parking lot with plenty of room to maneuver larger rigs; (2) Convenient access to US Route 1 and nearby I-95; (3) Western and southern parking areas offer quieter spots away from the busiest customer traffic; (4) Excellent nearby conveniences, including Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several dining options; and (5) Friendly store management that welcomed our overnight stay, plus surprisingly good opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) Some daytime retail traffic and occasional road noise, although nothing terribly disruptive; (2) No RV hookups, dump station or dedicated overnight camping facilities; (3) Parking areas closest to the store can become crowded during business hours; (4) Limited greenery and little of the scenery you'd expect from a traditional campground; and (5) While the overnight experience was excellent, this is still a commercial parking lot rather than a destination for an extended stay.
Happy Overnighting!

TravelerCountry 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!

The best views
This is a hidden gem, as close to dispersed camping you can get with dirt, gravel roads, large stone fire pits, a amazing views with the added benefit of a five gallon jug of non potable water and very clean port-a-potties. The owner regularly patrols the site and makes sure everything is okay.
Maria Mercedes M.LegendRound 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.
Guide to Green Lane
Campgrounds near Green Lane, Pennsylvania sit at elevations between 200-500 feet in the rolling hills of Montgomery County. The area's geology features distinctive boulder formations that give several local campgrounds their names. Winter camping options remain limited with nighttime temperatures often dropping below freezing from December through February, though several sites operate year-round.
What to do
Disc golf adventures: Boulder Woods Campground features an extensive disc golf course that attracts tournaments and enthusiasts. "They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," reports one visitor who stayed in August 2017. The course winds through wooded terrain with natural obstacles.
Fishing opportunities: Catch diverse fish species at French Creek State Park, which maintains two well-stocked lakes. "There are several warm water fish in the lakes including northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish. Ice fishing is also allowed at both lakes and the ice thickness is monitored," explains a reviewer who appreciated the variety of fishing options.
Historic site visits: Within a short drive from several campgrounds, you'll find Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site. "Not to mention close by there is Hopewell National Furnace and St. Peter's Village with shops and restaurants and hiking trails as well," notes a camper who stayed at French Creek State Park, highlighting these additional destinations for day trips.
What campers like
Private, wooded sites: Many campers appreciate the natural separation between sites at Tohickon Family Campground. "Very nice, rustic, wooded campground. Nice new gravel and hook ups. Spacious sites. Large stream with fishing," notes a recent visitor who enjoyed the natural setting.
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness varies significantly between campgrounds. At French Creek, one camper observed, "Bathrooms were very nice and clean with large showers. Nice area to wash dishes. Very nice playground area and clean." Another mentioned the "two large showers as well with very warm water."
Seasonal activities: Halloween weekends are popular at several campgrounds, with special events and decorations. "We had a great Halloween weekend but we were down by creek so it was very muddy. Everything else about this campground was great!" shares a visitor to Tohickon Family Campground, indicating the popularity of seasonal themed weekends.
What you should know
Site conditions after rain: Multiple campgrounds in the region develop drainage issues during wet weather. At Quakerwoods Campground, one visitor warned, "The tent spots are pretty much on top of each other, not much privacy. It's next to a farm so the sunrise is pretty nice... Great spot for a preseason shake out or casual camping."
Limited privacy at certain campgrounds: Some sites offer minimal separation between neighbors. "It's more like a permanent RV park than a campground. The rain made the dirt in the tent campground turn to pure mud and the picnic table was unusable because it was in the middle of it," reported one camper about Tohickon.
Weekday availability: For those seeking quieter experiences, midweek visits offer less crowded conditions. "Stayed here 2 nights without a reservation. We were in the D loop which is rustic with no hookups. Quiet, very few people mid-week. Spacious sites," notes a visitor to French Creek State Park.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Select sites near recreational facilities for convenience with children. At Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park, "There is a very nice playground situated conveniently between the loops of the campground. It had some slides, a bridge, lots of monkey bars, ladders to climb on and the best feature was the zip line."
Kid-friendly activities: Many campgrounds schedule regular family programming. "They have so much to do for kids!!" exclaimed one visitor about Boulder Woods Campground, highlighting the family-friendly atmosphere and organized activities.
Off-site adventures: For rainy days or extended stays, consider nearby attractions. "Should you need to let the kids unwind for a bit to run around and explore, I would suggest the Amazing Escape Room, just due east of here by 5 minutes," recommends a visitor to Village Scene Park in Hatfield.
Tips from RVers
Site access challenges: Several campgrounds have tight turns or difficult approaches. At Boulder Woods, "The spots are tight to get into but the staff will offer to park your camper using your vehicle. I let them park mine and I'm really glad I did. It was super tight," shares one RVer who appreciated the assistance.
Year-round options: For those camping outside peak season, some campgrounds remain open through winter. "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great!" reports a solo traveler at French Creek State Park, one of the few campsites near Green Lane, Pennsylvania with year-round operations.
Water and electric hookups: Most developed campgrounds offer partial hookups at minimum. "We had electric however no water or sewer hookup. There was a spigot for water at the next site over from us, so we didn't have to walk far to get fresh water," explains a French Creek visitor regarding the practical setup for RV camping.
