French Creek State Park Campground and Evansburg State Park Campground feature upscale glamping accommodations within easy reach of Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania. The cozy yurts at French Creek provide a canvas-walled retreat with comfortable beds, electricity, and climate control systems that maintain comfort year-round. "It's a great place to take the kids for a night or two of lovely moderate hiking and outdoor experience," noted one visitor about the nearby Tohickon Valley County Park, which offers similar glamping options. Evansburg's glamping sites include safari-style canvas tents on raised platforms with private decks overlooking natural scenery. Both locations maintain clean bathroom facilities with hot showers, while some premium glamping pods feature en-suite bathrooms and kitchenettes for added convenience.
Hiking trails wind through both parks, connecting glampers to miles of scenic woodland paths and fishing spots. A reviewer highlighted that Evansburg has "trails for miles that even connects to the AT, and when scheduled they open the dam up stream for some world class whitewater rafting." Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA, situated a short drive from Huntingdon Valley, supplements its glamping domes with amenities including a market, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. Many glamping locations in the area remain open year-round, though French Creek's safari tents and Tohickon Valley's geodesic domes are particularly popular during spring and fall when temperatures are moderate. The region's proximity to historic sites like Washington Crossing State Park adds cultural exploration opportunities to the glamping experience.

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!

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!

Pine Barrens New Jersey
This campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.

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.

Beautiful campground, loud campers
Beautiful campground but made the mistake of going on a holiday weekend, the campgrounds next to us were screaming and blasting music all day and throughout the night so we ended up leaving early. A beautiful campground when there aren’t noisy capers ruining it.
Kelvin R.ScoutTohickon Valley County Park
First time camping
As far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.
Tabatta C.ScoutVoorhees State Park Campground
Clean and well maintained!
I spent 4 days and 3 nights with my 6th grade Girl Scouts. We were at sites 23 and 24 which worked out great because they back up against each other. The bathrooms were super clean and well maintained. There are outlets at the bathroom building by the sink to charge any electronics. The playground is adequate and the field is big for playing. There are many things to do close by too like the observatory, Round Valley beach, Grounds for Art, etc. We all really enjoyed ourselves and plan on returning.

What to do
Hiking trails and waterways: At Wharton State Forest Atsion Recreation Area, you'll find extensive Pine Barrens trails suitable for all experience levels. "Wharton Forest has several campgrounds... We tent camped at Bodine campground in 2018. Our site was right on Wading River and we launched our kayaks right at the site!" noted one visitor. The forest includes multiple water access points for fishing and paddling.
Historical exploration: Washington Crossing State Park offers a unique blend of history and outdoor recreation. "Washington Crossing Historic Park, straddling Pennsylvania and New Jersey along the Delaware River, is one of those rare places where you can literally camp in history," explains one camper. Hiking paths run alongside historic structures, making it perfect for educational outings. Another reviewer mentioned, "Every year, they re-enact Washington's troops crossing the Delaware!"
Rock formations: Boulder Woods and Ringing Rocks Park feature unusual geological formations worth exploring. "The rocks really do ring when hit with another rock," confirms one visitor to Ringing Rocks. Many campsites provide hammers for this unusual activity, making it an intriguing day trip from nearby accommodations.
What campers like
Wooded privacy: Campers consistently praise the secluded feel at French Creek State Park Campground. "The campground is laid out well. There are three separate loops to camp at, Loop C is the only loop that allows pets, plus an area for large group camping which can accommodate anywhere from 30 to 60 people," notes one reviewer. Another camper highlighted: "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other."
Year-round options: Evansburg State Park Campground remains open during winter months for hardy campers seeking solitude. "I've spent countless hours hiking and fishing in Evansburg," states one regular visitor. "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."
Family amenities: Campers appreciate the organized activities at many local campgrounds. "This is a great place to take the kids for a night or two of lovely moderate hiking and outdoor experience," one visitor noted about local options. Many sites offer playground equipment, scheduled events, and family-friendly trails.
What you should know
Tent site conditions: Tent camping near Huntingdon Valley can present some challenges. One camper at Tohickon Family Campground noted: "We stayed here in our RV. It was the closest campground to Philly so we called a Lyft to get us into the city. The staff was super friendly and helpful." However, tent sites often receive mixed reviews: "Don't come if you're in a tent and it has been or will rain. It becomes flooded or turns into a mud pit."
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds within 30 miles require advance booking, especially during peak season (May-September). Several parks have specific check-in windows, typically between 2-8pm, with quiet hours starting at 10pm.
Alcohol regulations: State parks prohibit alcohol consumption, while private campgrounds generally allow it with reasonable behavior. "That's NJ. Everything is against the rules," complained one camper about state park restrictions. Always check individual campground policies before arriving.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA offers extensive family facilities. "The staff was very friendly and the tents were more glamorous than we had tried before, but definitely had a good combination of woodsy and comfort," reports one visitor. Another noted: "This campground was so well maintained. There was so much to do there a pool, lake, horseshoes, cornhole, playground, big pillow and even more."
Swimming options: Multiple glamping locations close to Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania feature pools or lake swimming during summer months. Hours typically run 10am-7pm, with some locations requiring swim bands (usually $3-5 per person).
Kid-friendly hikes: Select trails under 2 miles with minimal elevation change for younger children. "Lots of tree cover running along a small running creek," notes one visitor describing Evansburg State Park, making it suitable for families with small children.
Tips from RVers
Hookup availability: Many campgrounds offer full hookups but with varying amperage options. "Site is good with good showers and laundry," reports one RVer staying at Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA. Be aware that some sites require longer hose and electric connections than standard.
Site leveling: French Creek's design helps with this common RV challenge. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze," notes a camper. Older campgrounds may require more leveling blocks, so come prepared with a complete set.
Off-season advantages: Several campgrounds remain open year-round with reduced rates during spring and fall. "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great!" shared one winter camper at French Creek, which offers glamping yurts that stay comfortable even in cooler weather.
