RV campgrounds in Hatfield, Pennsylvania offer year-round accommodations for travelers exploring the southeastern Pennsylvania region. Located about 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia, the area sits in Montgomery County at an elevation of approximately 380 feet. Camping options range from rustic tent sites to full-service RV parks with seasonal availability typically running from early spring through late fall.
What to Do
Disc golf courses: Green Lane Park features a highly rated disc golf course along with fishing and hiking trails. "Phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing," notes one visitor to Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park.
Mountain biking adventures: Blue Mountain Resort transforms from a winter ski area to a summer adventure destination. "If you choose adventure this is the place for you, ride the ski lifts up to the top of the mountain then you get to bike down it, they have rental bikes available or bring your own. You can also Zip line or swing through the trees if you would rather," shares a camper at Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort.
Amish country exploration: The Lancaster County area offers numerous cultural experiences within driving distance. "Amish stores/attractions close by for some entertainment also. Sites were nice size and orderly," reports a visitor to Spring Gulch Resort Campground.
What Campers Like
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain high standards for restrooms and showers. A visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort commented, "Shower/bathrooms are the best I've ever seen."
Pool access: Swimming pools are available at several rv campgrounds near Hatfield. "Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it. Same with their patio set up around the store," noted a camper at Stonybrook RV Resort.
Live entertainment: Weekend activities often include musical performances. "The Saturday night bands are concert worthy. We have enjoyed our stay more than you ever imagined," shares a seasonal camper at Sun Valley Campground.
What You Should Know
Seasonal differences: Most campgrounds operate from April through October or November, with fewer options in winter months. One exception is Village Scene Park, where a camper noted, "VSP's location is great for those wanting to access some of the bigger, better things in Philly proper, without having to actually stay in the city."
Site privacy varies: Some campgrounds offer more secluded spots than others. A visitor to Green Lane Park observed, "The sites are large but there is NO privacy. The sites are lined up next to each other along the campground driveway and there are absolutely no trees or shrubs between them."
Military option: Military personnel can access Fort Dix Range 14 Camp in nearby New Jersey. "Clean and gravel. Lots of military training nearby but overall a quiet stay. On the beaten path but a bit further into the trees so you're not hearing so much road noise," reports a recent visitor.
Tips for Camping with Families
Activity scheduling: Weekdays may have reduced amenities at some locations. A visitor to Spring Gulch Resort mentioned, "Staff was nice but not enough staffing to keep amenities like pool open after 5 during the week."
Specialty accommodations: Unique lodging options exist beyond standard campsites. "There are a lot of really neat and different rentals here like a tree house, double decker bus, among others. Nice playground for the kids and a small arcade," shares a camper at Lake-In-Wood Campground.
Campground activities: Many parks schedule regular events for all ages. "The campground had numerous activities set up all throughout the day and there was something for everyone. I find that a lot of campground activities tend to be centered around small children and with my kids being 13 and 12, they're usually left out of the fun. There was bingo, crafts, a vendor craft show, hot dog eating contest for adults and kids, candy scramble in the dark for adults and kids," reports a visitor to Appalachian Camping Resort.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Some sections of campgrounds may present challenges for larger rigs. At Appalachian Camping Resort, a camper advised, "We were unaware that our site was a buddy site. Now it was Labor Day weekend, the campground was completely full and we booked late. The site we got was the only one available for the size of our camper. The buddy site was very narrow and since our buddy arrived first we had no choice but to park farther down on the site to avoid our awnings touching and that left us very uneven."
Advance planning: Holiday weekends require early reservations, often months ahead. "Easy check-in. Tent site was very spacious and clean. Kids loved fishing in the pond. Restrooms/Bath House very well maintained," notes a camper at Appalachian Camping Resort.
Public transportation access: Some campgrounds offer convenient options for exploring Philadelphia. A Village Scene Park visitor pointed out, "Nearby there's a SEPTA Doylestown/Landsdale regional rail line stop that will pretty much give you all of the direct access to the city without having to bother with driving through any of the traffic to enjoy Philly."
