    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Camping options around New Hope, Pennsylvania range from family-oriented established campgrounds to rustic sites with water access. The area includes several developed facilities within 20 miles of town, including Tohickon Valley County Park in Pipersville and Ringing Rocks Family Campground in Upper Black Eddy. Most campgrounds in the region accommodate tents, RVs, and cabin rentals, with a few offering yurt options. Washington Crossing State Park typically provides tent and glamping sites but is temporarily closed for 2024. Nockamixon State Park offers cabin rentals with electric hookups and water access points for boating and fishing activities.

    Reservations are strongly recommended at all established campgrounds in the area, particularly for weekend stays during the peak season from April through October. Many facilities close or reduce operations between November and March. Campground amenities vary significantly, with some offering full hookups for RVs while others maintain a more primitive experience. Most campgrounds provide basic facilities including restrooms, fire rings, and picnic tables. The terrain throughout the region consists of wooded sites with moderate privacy between campsites. As one camper noted about Ringing Rocks Family Campground, "Sites are decent sized with fire pits and picnic tables, easy access to hiking, convenient to a beautiful vineyard, peaceful region."

    Water features represent significant draws for campers in the area. Several campgrounds offer lake or river access, with sites at Round Valley State Park and Atsion Family Campground particularly valued for their proximity to water. A visitor to Atsion noted, "I always get site #8 and it has an amazing view of the lake." Campers regularly mention the peacefulness of the region, though some reviews indicate varying experiences with site privacy and noise levels. Sites near lakes or rivers tend to book quickly, especially during summer months.

Little Red Barn Campground and Mountain View Campground offer similar amenities but in more wooded settings away from water.

      Ringing Rocks Family Campground

      incredible find

      i stumbled on this searching for something almost immediately off the interstate, but with little-to-no booking available for a reasonable price elsewhere local. we detoured about 25 minutes to get here, and it is just incredible. the scenery is gorgeous, they have a camp store with oodles of stuff, there’s a huge playground, and the camping areas are dispersed well and offer beautiful scenic privacy. i wish i could make this place my home. amenities are well taken care of, they have showers in the bathroom, as well as an on-site laundry facility. they have complimentary wifi, which i appreciate with AT&T. signal is slim to none without it. overall, 5/5 stars from my family.

      Mahlon Dickerson Reservation

      Primitive

      The main issue with the sites was that they were primitive -- no water. The campsites were basically just wooden platforms, with a picnic table and fire pit. There were also a lot of bugs, though this may be due to the rain. The location itself was fairly pretty and there were a number of hiking trails of not-overly-serious difficulty. The particular site we picked left is a little farther from our car than we would have liked, but for other sites you can bring your car closer.

      Quakerwoods Campground

      Great place. Friendliest people

      The staff is the GREATEST. They are knowledgeable and helpful. The grounds are clean. The shower rooms are clean and large. Laundry room is perfect. They have pull-thrus, back ins and tent sites. Dog stations are placed throughout the park. The campers are also the friendliest. You can always tell the condition of the camp by the quality of the people staying there.. everyone was respectful, courteous and friendly. We stayed in July, 2026 and would DEFINITELY stay again next time we are thru PA.

      Swartswood State Park Campground

      The campground is open

      The campground was closed in 2024 for renovations. It is now open. I did a tour of the campgrounds but did not stay there. FYI, generators are NOT allowed at all at this campground. I did not see electric or water hookups. There are three loops. Each has it pros/cons. Sites 30-33 are near the bathroom facilities, sites 34-50 are more secluded, sites 52-65 are closer to the lake.

      French Creek State Park Campground

      Quiet Park with a Tight Fit

      We spent a weekend at French Creek State Park as our home base for the Chester County Balloon Festival. We stayed for 2 nights at a full-hookup paved site, which ran us $55.25 per night. 

      WHAT I LIKED: 

      • Peace& Quiet: The state park itself was lovely, serene, and felt nice and spacious. 

      • Prime Location: At just 30 minutes away from the balloon festival, this is the closest campground. 

      WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH: 

      • The"Leveling" Challenge: We were at site#C-241, which had a pretty significant slope. It took a few boards under the rear wheels and fully extended jacks just to get us anywhere near level. 

      • Tight Fit for Big Rigs: Even though there was plenty of open space behind our site, the actual driveway pad was too short to comfortably fit our motorhome and Jeep together. Compared to other state parks we’ve visited, the interior roads and layouts felt a bit on the tight side. 

      WOULD WE COME BACK? 

      • Probably. While the site geometry required a little extra setup muscle, it’s hard to beat the location if you're visiting the area or catching the balloon festival.

      Cheesequake State Park Campground

      Clean and basic

      Basic clean older campground. No hookups. Water dump flush toilets and showers available. Very limited on campsites allowing dogs. Nice setting but traffic noise can be heard. Calms down later in evening. Generators ok and our quieter than road noise. Lots of mosquitos and bugs so bring your spray!

      Timberland Lake Campground

      One Night Stop

      We needed a pit stop….as a pit stop it serves its purpose…..would not stay here more than a night. Lots of seasonal run down campers. Tarps over campers. Bathrooms are neglected. Agree with previous reviewer that they have given into the seasonal camper.

      Lazy-K Campground

      No idea. Was not allowed in since we couldn't arrive before 4pm.

      Choose another campground unless you are certain you can arrive before 4pm. Otherwise, you'll not be allowed in.  Owner is belligerent on this point, and from other comments, belligerent on other issues also.  

      We strongly recommend the nearby French Creek State Park campground.


    Guide to New Hope

    Camping options in Bucks County near New Hope, Pennsylvania include established campgrounds within a 20-mile radius, with sites catering to various camping styles.

    The Delaware River creates a natural backdrop for many camping experiences in the region. Campsites at Tohickon Valley County Park receive consistent praise for their generous sizing and natural setting. "The sites are a decent distance from each other. It was nice and quiet.

Several campgrounds provide amenities such as showers, toilets, and fire rings, though quality varies between locations. Private campgrounds typically offer more amenities including electric hookups, water access, and camp stores, while public facilities focus on more primitive camping experiences with basic facilities.
