Ridley Creek State Park accepts four-legged friends at its Group Camp area, offering beautiful hiking trails well-marked for exploration with pets. Several pet-friendly campgrounds surround Immaculata, including Hibernia County Park, Evansburg State Park, and French Creek State Park. Most require pets to be leashed at all times, with clean-up expected from owners. Tent sites, RV spaces, and cabin options accommodate various camping styles while welcoming animals. The campgrounds typically feature picnic tables and fire rings at each site, with pet waste stations strategically placed throughout. Trails along creeks provide excellent opportunities for dogs to cool off during warmer months. Sites at Ridley Creek border natural areas where many campers enjoy morning walks with their dogs.
Hiking trails throughout these parks offer moderate terrain suitable for most dogs, with plenty of tree cover providing shade during summer months. Hibernia County Park features wooded campsites with access to Chamber's Lake where pets can enjoy shoreline areas though swimming isn't permitted. Evansburg State Park provides excellent fishing opportunities alongside pet-friendly trails, though campers should be vigilant about ticks when bringing dogs. Many trails run alongside small creeks where dogs can wade and cool off after hiking. The Lake Loop at Hibernia offers larger sites popular with group campers bringing pets, while Fiddler's Loop provides more private, wooded sites. Most campgrounds maintain quiet hours that help prevent excessive barking issues, and nearby towns offer veterinary services for emergency situations.
Best Dog-Friendly Campgrounds near Immaculata (90)
1. Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA
"Beautiful campground — lots of trees, pond, kids play equipment, dog park, etc. facilities all clean and whole place is well maintained. Easy late arrival."
"The neighbor’s sewer connection is right next to our picnic table! But, the sites are large enough for large RVs, they have 30/50 amp hookups and water & sewer."
2. Hibernia County Park
"This campground has 2 small loops, the Lake Loop and the Fiddler's Loop. Lake loop is the bigger of the two, however the “sites” are smaller and it's more open. It is popular with group tenters."
"Large campsites at the Lake Loop. Map is a little deceiving- the sites are farther from the lake than I expected and there are no running water bathrooms. Very clean and wooded sites."
Check Availabilityfrom $15 - $50 / night
3. Brandywine Creek Campground
"Girlfriend and I stayed here while we visited nearby Longwood Gardens. The tent sites are spacious and they all border the creek which is a nice sound at night, as well as a good morning view."
"Close to Valley Forge military park, and convenient to Philadelphia by train."
4. Lake-In-Wood Campground
"My family and I stayed at Lake In Wood for 4 days. The campground is very well maintained , and the staff is very nice."

Check Availabilityfrom $40 - $60 / night
5. Lums Pond State Park Campground
"We hiked the 7.5mile lake trail with our two pups. It was beautiful and along the way there were opportunities to kayak/sup, beach it, or even play on a ropes course."
"The site itself was set back some, and felt secluded while still being near the parking area. Walk to bathrooms and camp store was on the longer side."

"Fishing pond is a joke and near by Gun Range can be annoying and tough on pets. But, over all, this place is pretty nice."

Easy access to Lancaster and Pennsylvania Dutch areas. Friendly, welcoming staff and plenty of colorful trees in the autumn. The only RV park in the area that is open year round.

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!

Lowe's - W Windsor
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!
Peggy C.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!

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.

GuideAtsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest
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.
Adam and Suzanne B.GuideBeacon Hill Camping
Great location
We stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.

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.
Guide to Immaculata
Camping near Immaculata, Pennsylvania offers diverse terrain with elevations ranging from 200 to 600 feet above sea level throughout Chester County. The area's moderate climate provides a camping season that extends from April through October, with average summer temperatures between 75-85°F. Several state and county parks within a 30-minute drive offer pet-friendly accommodations with varying levels of amenities.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: multiple ponds and lakes feature warm water species at French Creek State Park Campground. "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," notes Jen R.
Go disc golfing: wooded course challenges all levels at Green Lane Park. "Phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing," says Benjamin C. The course winds through forested areas requiring technical shots around natural obstacles.
Try the Go Ape aerial adventure course: Treetop ziplines and obstacles at Lums Pond State Park Campground. "Great state park with lots to do (kayaking, biking, and more)," shares Matt S. The course features varying difficulty levels suitable for most ages.
What campers like
Level sites with concrete pads: Full hookup options at many locations. "Beautiful park setting with fantastic site— spacious, level, good-working hookups, and paved," reports Matt S. about Lums Pond State Park.
Wooded privacy between sites: Natural separation at Hibernia County Park. "It's tiny (19 sites in Fiddlers loop), it's quiet, it's heavily wooded. Most sites are heavily wooded which means plenty of hammock hanging opportunities," explains Jennifer S.
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Modern bathhouses at several locations. "The bath house was absolutely immaculate, and the design made even my public-bathroom-phobic sister-in-law comfortable and at ease," shares Mark at Lums Pond State Park.
What you should know
Pet-specific loops or areas: Only certain sections allow dogs. At French Creek State Park, "Loop C is the only loop that allows pets," reports Jen R. This helps concentrate pet traffic and accommodates those with allergies.
Limited cell service: Connectivity varies by campground. "Cell service is 'iffy' at best, depending on how hard the woods are trying to keep you offline," warns Stuart K. about Fort Washington State Park.
Tick prevention essential: Wooded areas require precautions. "I find Evansburg to be the muddiest State Park I've every experienced... The only downside, I've ever experienced is I find Evansburg to be the muddiest State Park I've every experienced; I always bring a pair of sneakers to change out of my hiking boots," advises Andrew C.
Tips for camping with families
Playgrounds for different ages: Multiple play areas throughout parks. "There is a huge pool that has a beautiful view overlooking the lake. There are trails for mountain biking or hiking, a frisbee golf course, playground at the campground and at the lake," notes Jen R. about French Creek.
Educational opportunities: Nature and history programs. "The campground is located smack dab in the middle of five nearby hamlets, including: Flourtown, Whitemarsh, Five Points, Plymouth Meeting and Lafayette Hill," explains Stuart K. about Fort Washington State Park Campground.
Kid-friendly fishing spots: Designated children's ponds at some locations. "The children's pond is a short ways away for well stocked fishing," mentions Anna about Hibernia County Park Lake Campground.
Tips from RVers
Site size considerations: Check length restrictions before booking. At Lake-In-Wood Campground, "The roads were very tight and you really had to watch how you drove through because of the trees. Our site was a drive-through but slanted," warns Mary C.
Hookup locations: Position varies by site. At Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA, "Site is good with good showers and laundry," reports Nicola P. Many dog friendly campgrounds near Immaculata feature full hookups but require careful positioning.
Limited dump stations: Plan accordingly for longer stays. "There is NO DUMP STATION. There are a few nearby campgrounds that will let you dump for a fee, otherwise, you'll have to look for a truck stop on the way home," advises Jennifer S. about Hibernia County Park.
