    Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park and Boulder Woods Campground provide tent and RV sites where pets are welcome throughout the year. Most campgrounds in the area maintain standard leash policies, requiring pets to be kept on leashes no longer than 6 feet when outside the RV or tent. Sites at Green Lane Park are arranged with little privacy between them, making them suitable for campers whose dogs are comfortable in more social settings. The park features clean facilities but limited amenities specifically for pets, with multiple hiking trails accessible for on-leash dog walking throughout the 3,400-acre property.

    French Creek State Park Campground and Nockamixon State Park Cabins offer pet-friendly accommodations beyond traditional camping, with cabin options that accept dogs for visitors preferring more shelter. Boulder Woods' disc golf course attracts many visitors with dogs, creating a particularly active atmosphere for pet owners. Nearby veterinary services can be found in Quakertown and Collegeville, approximately 15-20 minutes from most Green Lane area campgrounds. Many campgrounds enforce quiet hours starting at 10 PM, when barking dogs must be managed to prevent disturbance to neighboring sites. During summer months, temperatures can reach the high 80s, requiring careful monitoring of pets for heat exposure, especially at Deep Creek where sites lack significant shade between them.

      Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park

      Lovely park but...

      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.

      Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park

      Easy Camping

      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. The fire rings are big and frustrating, the fire sits on a lifted grate so you go through wood like crazy. Lovely park, lovely rangers, but not my favorite spot.

      Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA

      Really nice

      We stayed here for a night in transit. Beautiful campground — lots of trees, pond, kids play equipment, dog park, etc. facilities all clean and whole place is well maintained. Easy late arrival. Good location - convenient but far enough off the highway. Would stay here again.

      French Creek State Park Campground

      Weekend Trip To Reading

      My family and I stayed at French Creek State Park while attending an event in Reading. The park was clean and well maintained. We stayed in Loop A which had no camp host. The camp hosts were in loops B & C.  We had a full hook up site. The water and electric worked great! The campground was well patrolled by Rangers throughout our stay. The bathhouses appeared to be clean and maintained. The quiet time starts at 9pm and seemed to be followed by most campers. There are numerous hiking trails in the park that seemed to be well marked and maintained. The park is about 20- mins from Reading, and 10 mins from Birdsbroro. There are many stores and restaurants in the area for food and supplies if needed. We had good cellular service with both AT&T and T-Mobile. The one downside was that there was no off leash dog park. We had to take our dog to a dog park in Birdsbroro. We would stay at this park again.

      Stonybrook RV Resort

      Well maintained and comfortable RV Park

      We stayed here for 3 nights and thought well of the park.  The place was meticulously clean and the permanent campers keep their sites so well.  The pool was warm, clean and enjoyable.  There’s a nice playground and a GaGa pit.  There’s lots of space to walk your dog on leash but no dog park.   We had an issue with our surge protector and the manager had an electrician out to us quickly who helped us solve a problem.  Pleasant staff in the camp store.   The laundry area and shower rooms are beautiful and clean.  

      There is nothing to do in the immediate area, but we were there to use the bike trails and bop around Jim Thorpe…about 25 minutes away via pretty country roads.

      Philadelphia-West Chester KOA

      Nice Campground Near Philadelphia

      West Chester KOA This is a really nice KOA not too far from downtown Philly. The campground is located in a beautiful part of the Pennsylvania countryside with rolling hills which meant the roads getting there are narrow and windy. A bridge nearby the campground was washed out earlier by a hurricane so we had to take an alternative route going about thirty minutes out of our way. (Make sure you check their website for directions!) There is a lot to do in the surrounding area like visiting the historical sites in downtown Philadelphia, Valley Forge, or exploring Amish country. 

      This is a typical KOA with lots of amenities and activities for kids– swimming pool, jump pad, miniature golf, volleyball, butterfly garden, gem mining, playground, store, dog park, nature trail, etc. There is a large pool area with pavilion but it was closed during our stay since we were there early in the season. The campground is right on the Brandywine River which is a slow meandering pretty river that is great to get your feet wet or go for a paddle. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent if you have time and as there is very little current in the river you can paddle out and back without any trouble. There is a nice, short nature trail which was nice to walk our dog and she enjoyed getting wet in the river. 

      The campground is hilly which means that a fair number of sites are not level. Our site (#27) was level for our RV but the patio sloped downhill and we could not use our picnic table or find a level spot for our chairs. Some sites are “premiums” with paved patios, Adirondack chairs, fancy firepits, BBQ grill, and tables and chairs with an umbrella. These sites are really nice, but you pay a lot more for them. Some sites are located adjacent to the river with nice waterfront views, but beware some might be muddy. There are lots of camping cabins and a couple of glamping tents. 

      Overall, the campground is very clean with no trash lying around and the grass was mowed and trimmed. The 50-amp electric was good as was the water pressure. The sewer connection uphill from our site so it did not drain properly. There is basic cable but since you are so close to Philly there are plenty of over-the-air channels. The Wi-Fi at our site worked well. Garbage is picked up at your site. The surrounding area has plenty of restaurants, shopping, and interesting things to see and do.

      Hickory Run State Park Campground

      Great location, good tree cover

      We went on a last-minute trip from Philly in what I think was opening weekend (April). We wanted to hike with toddlers, so that took up most of our Saturday. Main Ranger Station was really nice. We hope to come back and see more of the campground itself and try additional hikes. We took the short drive to Hawk Falls Trail and also completed the Orchard Trail Loop. Bathrooms with showers were just what we needed and easy to walk to, shared between our pet-friendly loop and another loop. Good sinks for cleaning dishes.

      Stayed at 199 on the pet-friendly 165-228 loop. Lots of people walking dogs. Very varied length of campsites and privacy. Many around the inside of loops, especially right at the bathrooms would have been pretty tight, or possibly good if you were reserving a couple in a row. Would have been nice to have a big tree between ours and site 195, but there was some distance.

      Check out was 3pm, which is awesome!


    Guide to Green Lane

    Camping options near Green Lane, Pennsylvania range from primitive tent sites to full-hookup RV spaces within the region's rolling countryside. Located approximately 35 miles northwest of Philadelphia, the area sits at elevations between 200-400 feet and experiences humid summers with temperatures regularly reaching the 80s. Fall camping brings colorful foliage displays while spring visitors often encounter muddy conditions due to the area's clay-rich soil.

    What to do

    Disc golf course: Boulder Woods Campground features an extensive disc golf course popular with both dedicated players and beginners. "They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," notes Erik W. The campground hosts tournaments that draw participants from throughout the region.

    Fishing opportunities: The area offers multiple fishing locations including Scotts Run Lake at French Creek State Park Campground where anglers can target "northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish." According to Benjamin C., Green Lane Park provides "phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing" within minutes of most area campgrounds.

    Historic sites exploration: Located adjacent to Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site, campers can explore Pennsylvania's iron-making history. "French Creek State Park Campground is located in Elverson, Pennsylvania and sits adjacent to Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site," explains Ellen C., who adds that the location provides easy access to multiple outdoor activities combined with historical education.

    What campers like

    Private wooded sites: Many campers appreciate the natural separation between sites at certain campgrounds. At Boulder Woods Campground, Karralee B. notes, "The tent sites are on dirt and not stone which we enjoyed, I hate stone under my tent." This contrasts with some other area campgrounds where sites lack privacy.

    Clean facilities: Several campgrounds maintain well-kept bathhouses and common areas. Cheryl K. found French Creek's amenities satisfactory: "Bathrooms were just okay. Muddy floors - don't know how often floors are cleaned. Showers were odd - one large stall but no separate dressing area."

    Family-friendly activities: Beyond standard outdoor recreation, many campgrounds offer organized events. Shannon C. says of Boulder Woods: "This is a great campground. Bill and Kate are friendly and helpful. They have so much to do for kids!!" These activities help keep younger campers engaged during longer stays.

    What you should know

    Site conditions vary widely: The quality of camping sites differs significantly between campgrounds and even within the same facility. At Nockamixon State Park Cabins, John S. appreciated the accommodations: "The cabins are full electric with heat and are well appointed. It was an excellent fall trip location for a family with young children."

    Some areas flood when wet: Multiple campgrounds in the region have drainage issues. Ra F. notes about Green Lane Park: "The park is lovely, but the camping facilities are subpar, primitive and lack any kind of privacy." Similarly, at Tohickon Family Campground, LU D. advises, "Don't come if you're in a tent and it has been or will rain. It becomes flooded or turns into a mudpit."

    Seasonal limitations: Many facilities operate with reduced services during off-peak periods. Galit P. found French Creek State Park Campground accessible year-round: "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great! The honor system of payment at the office makes it really easy to come in late and leave early."

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: For families with children, playgrounds provide essential entertainment. Jessica V. recommends Tohickon Family Campground: "We went with friends for a weekend. Both families have little kids and it was a great spot with a playground, construction digging area, and a bunch of activities for the kids to do."

    Kid-friendly hiking options: Several parks offer trails manageable for younger hikers. Andrew C. shares his experience at Evansburg: "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'."

    Swimming accessibility: Pools provide welcome relief during hot summer days. Tiffany B. cautions about Green Lane Park: "Campground is as basic as they get. Sites are close to each other with absolutely no privacy. Bathrooms however are nice and clean with plenty of them around the park."

    Tips for RVers

    Site accessibility considerations: Many campgrounds have challenging access points for larger rigs. At Little Red Barn Campground, Joe B. found "Friendly people, nice place, good sized sites," though other reviewers note tight placement among seasonal campers.

    Hookup availability varies: Not all sites offer full hookups, requiring planning. Ali P. at Homestead Campground observed "Dump station has no water" and recommended checking facilities before arrival.

    Parking assistance: Some campgrounds provide help navigating tight spaces. Erik W. appreciated this 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."
