Allentown KOA and Quakerwoods Campground both feature upscale glamping accommodations within the rolling hills of Pennsylvania's countryside. These sites offer luxury canvas tents, yurts, and premium glamping structures equipped with comfortable beds, climate control, and electrical outlets for modern convenience. As one guest noted, "The trees and the creek that run through it make it really special. Unlike many KOAs, it wasn't near a large busy road, but out in the forest." The glamping options provide an elevated outdoor experience while maintaining proximity to natural features like fishing ponds, swimming pools, and wooded surroundings. These accommodations feature private decks, quality linens, and thoughtful interior design elements that create a resort-style camping atmosphere without sacrificing comfort.
The woodland setting of these glamping resorts provides excellent opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and seasonal recreational activities. French Creek State Park Campground, approximately 30 miles from Lehigh Valley, complements its yurt accommodations with nearby attractions including paddle sports, guided nature walks, and seasonal festivals. A recent visitor mentioned, "We were pleasantly surprised by the campground. We did quite a bit of walking and wandering around and enjoyed ourselves." Most glamping locations maintain proximity to local dining options, with some sites within 10-20 minutes of restaurants like Brick Tavern Inn and The West End. The geodesic domes and pods at these glamping destinations often feature private fire pits, outdoor seating areas, and specialized amenities like stargazing windows or private hot tubs, creating an immersive natural experience with luxury touches not found in traditional camping.

LegendWashington 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. The Pennsylvania side is all about historic buildings, museums and picnic spots, while the New Jersey side (Washington Crossing State Park) offers organized group tent camping. This isnāt the place for a cushy RV getaway or individual tenters looking to sneak in for the night, but rather a structured, group-style camping steeped in Revolutionary War atmosphere. First impressions? More Boy Scout jamboree than weekend getaway, but if youāre here for camaraderie and heritage, youāve hit the mark.
Facilities are deliberately minimal. On the Pennsylvania side, camping is limited to a handful of Scout-designated sites with portable toilets, no running water and zero frills. Across the river in New Jersey, the official group camping area provides open tent-only sites with no hookups, no pets and strict quiet hours. Think old-school camping: fire rings, pit toilets and a heavy dose of āleave no traceā ethos. Reservations are required, permits are non-negotiable and the max stay tops out at 14 nights. What you do get is a wide, peaceful forest setting with plenty of space for tents, youth groups or scout troops along with the kind of simplicity that makes you feel like youāve stepped back in time.
Beyond the tent pads, the surrounding parks are rich with history and outdoor options. On the Pennsylvania side, youāll find the visitor center, historic McConkeyās Ferry Inn, Bowmanās Hill Tower, and interpretive programs that bring the Revolutionary War era to life. Picnic areas and a boat launch offer ways to enjoy the Delaware River. In New Jersey, miles of wooded trails lead you through rolling hills and historic landscapes, perfect for hiking and birdwatching. Itās a spot where history buffs, scouts and nature seekers can all find common ground.
Insider Tips? Hereās a handful: (1) The best group sites are the ones tucked furthest from the trailhead as (surprise, surprise) theyāre quieter and offer more privacy; (2) Stock up before arriving, as there are no supply stores inside the park, so head on over to nearby Weis Markets in Langhorne or ShopRite in Fairless Hills, both of which are on the PA-side; (3) Be sure to bring all your own water as none is available onsite; (4) Kayakers should launch from the Pennsylvania sideās boat access for an iconic paddle on the Delaware River; (5) Visit the parkās historic reenactments, especially the Christmas Day Crossing event as itās easily the most memorable history lesson youāll ever get outdoors; and (6) When youāre done camping, fuel up at Itās Nutts Restaurant on the Jersey side in Titusville for classic diner-style comfort food or Franciscoās on the River for Italian fare with Delaware River views.
Happy Camping!
GuideEasy access from Rt 80 and located close to the Lakota Wolf Preserve. With tours leaving them campground twice a day on both Saturday and Sundays for the wolf preserve, I was glad there was camping so close. The camping selection of sites is excellent with Cabins, Glamping tents, primitive tent sites and of course RV sites. I choose to stay in one of the glamping tents and was pleasantly surprised at the space inside the tent even with a double bed and two other fold out couches to beds. Water is available at the site. A small lake for swimming and boating. And lots of trails linking you to the Delaware river water gap area.
GuideNo electrical and no pets allowed in camp sites. But plenty of trees and huge fire rings in each spot. An RV would have a tough time but for car camping itās great. The Delaware Canal is nearby with the tow path for biking. That makes this a nice Bikepacking stop.
TravelerHaving been here on a few occasions I will say it is def a beautiful spot in many regards. However, there are some downsides.
Positives: sites are decent sized with fire pits and picnic tables. easy access to hiking, convenient to a beautiful vineyard, peaceful region, and the most amazing wolf preserve is right next to you.Ā Ā
Negative: limited access to firewood. sites are picked clean, quiet hours are strongly enforced- which can be a good thing depending upon who you are, the lake is anything but refreshing.
LegendWest 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.Ā
This is a typical KOA with lots of amenities and activities for kidsā 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.Ā
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 āpremiumsā 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.Ā
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.

GuideFirst time camping at this park and it was perfect. Even though it rained all weekend, we explored the area by car, even tried some fishing off the pier and we got to get some much needed rest and relaxation in. D Loop seemed like the best loop (for tent campers such as us). Pretty spacious between sites. No pets though. B and C loop felt like the spaces were very close to each other. A loop was closed at this point. Bathhouses can use an upgrade but has flush toilets and hot showers which is all you need.
RangerThe lake is gorgeous and there are nice hiking trails, but sites are very small and close together. Letās are allowed in less than half of the campground, which means all the dogs are in a smaller area and barking at each other more than other places. The no-pet area was practically empty when we were there midweek but the pets-allowed area was much more crowded than we would have liked.
Also rules and signage are wildly confusing, lots of things contradict each other. Cell service exists but not great for remote work.

The region experiences all four seasons distinctly, with summer temperatures averaging 71-85Ā°F and winter lows regularly dipping below freezing.

Water activities at Hopewell Lake: French Creek State Park Campground offers two lakes for fishing, kayaking and canoeing. "We went for a small hike around the lake - we were toting three kids, one of which was in a stroller. I was able to fit 5 diapers, a large bottle of suntan lotion, a pack of wipes, snack container, travel changing pad," one visitor noted about their hiking experience.
Frisbee golf in Green Lane: Boulder Woods Campground features an extensive disc golf course that draws enthusiasts. "They have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," shared a camper. The course is extensive enough to host tournaments, with the campground store selling disc golf equipment.
Explore boulder fields: Hickory Run State Park Campground features a unique geological formation worth the trip. "We took a drive on 2 afternoons on a stone road through the woods to see the Boulder Field. It was a beautiful drive," explains a visitor. The park contains 44 miles of hiking trails ranging from easy to difficult, with many following creeks and waterfalls.
Quiet wooded sites: Allentown KOA offers a peaceful camping experience away from highway noise. "I was passing through and I only stayed one night. When I arrived, check-in was easy and professional. A host had me follow him to a super convenient pull-through site, and stayed to make sure I was all set," described one camper. The campground features a stream running through it that enhances the natural setting.
Family-friendly amenities: Colonial Woods Family Resort provides numerous activities for families. "The pool and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times," notes a visitor. The campground also features fishing ponds, playgrounds, cornhole, and minigolf to keep everyone entertained.
Private tent sites: Tent campers appreciate the secluded options at some campgrounds. "Great secluded sites with clean facilities for when you need some civilization," said one camper at Ringing Rocks Family Campground. Many tent sites are situated in wooded areas or near water features, providing a more rustic experience than the luxury glamping in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania described elsewhere.
Campsite terrain variations: Sites can range from gravel to grass to muddy areas depending on weather and location. "Don't come if you're in a tent and it has been or will rain. It becomes flooded or turns into a mudpit," warns a camper about Tohickon Family Campground.
Shower and bathroom facilities: Quality varies widely between campgrounds and even between loops at the same campground. "The 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," noted a visitor at French Creek.
Seasonal operations: Most Quakerwoods Campground and other area camping facilities operate from April to October. "If you find yourself careening around the picturesque country roads here in Bucks County you will discover Quakerwoods Campground nestled in the verdant, rolling hills of a plush countryside," explains a camper about its location.
Playground access: Choose sites near play areas for convenience with children. "There is a very nice playground situated conveniently between the loops of the campground. It had some slides, a bridge, lots of monkey bars, ladders to climb on and the best feature was the zip line," shared a visitor about Hickory Run State Park.
Weekend activities: Many campgrounds schedule special events for kids. "We went on Halloween weekend and they had so much for the kids to do! Friendly staff and clean sites!" mentioned a camper at Ringing Rocks Family Campground.
Swimming options: Pools provide controlled environments for family swimming. "We appreciate that they haven't charged us extra in the past for our kids. Our kids love the pool and splash area," shared a family about Colonial Woods Family Resort.
Site sizing considerations: Some campgrounds have limited space for larger rigs. "If you have a large camper or 5th wheel you may need to double check what sites can accommodate your RV to ensure you have enough room," advises a camper at French Creek State Park Campground.
Leveling challenges: Many sites in this mountainous region require some leveling. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze," reports a visitor at French Creek State Park Campground, which is a rare luxury in the area.
Narrow access roads: Some campgrounds have tight entrances and interior roads. "The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed (almost took my AC out with a huge limb)," warns an RVer at Colonial Woods about big rig access.
