French Creek State Park and Tohickon Valley County Park house distinctive glamping accommodations within an hour's drive of Maple Glen. French Creek offers both yurts and safari-style glamping tents with comfortable beds, electricity, and climate control options for year-round stays. The park's glamping sites include private decks overlooking the surrounding woodlands, making them among the top-rated glamping campsites in the region. Tohickon Valley features yurts with wooden floors, real beds with linens, and electricity—a significant upgrade from traditional camping. Both locations offer picnic tables, fire rings with cooking grates, and access to clean shower facilities. One guest shared, "The glamping tents were more glamorous than we had tried before, but definitely had a good combination of woodsy and comfort."
Visitors to these luxury outdoor accommodations enjoy direct access to miles of hiking trails, two lakes for fishing and boating, and seasonal swimming pools. French Creek State Park's glamping sites sit adjacent to Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site, allowing guests to combine outdoor luxury with historical exploration. Safari tent and yurt guests at Tohickon Valley can paddle along the nearby Delaware Canal on the towpath, making it "a nice Bikepacking stop," according to a camper. Both parks maintain strict quiet hours, ensuring a peaceful retreat atmosphere. The glamping season generally runs April through October, though some accommodations at French Creek remain available year-round. Nearby restaurants in Elverson and Pipersville provide dining options when guests prefer not to cook over their private fire rings.

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!

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 creek-side trails: Evansburg State Park features miles of trails running alongside small creeks. "Great park to do everything outdoorsy including, hiking, horseback riding, hunting and fishing. I cought a beautiful Brown Trout here a few weeks ago! Great park," notes a camper at Evansburg State Park Campground.
Disc golf courses: Boulder Woods Campground maintains a full disc golf course through wooded terrain. "They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," shares a visitor to Boulder Woods Campground.
Historical exploration: Washington Crossing State Park preserves Revolutionary War history accessible from camping areas. "Every year, they re-enact Washington's troops crossing the Delaware! It was VERY cold the year I went. To warm up, there is a small visitor's center where they have a reproduction of the famous painting commemorating the moment," reports a visitor.
What campers like
Private, wooded sites: French Creek's spacious camping spots provide natural separation between neighbors. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other. Bathrooms were very nice and clean with large showers," writes a camper at French Creek State Park Campground.
Yurt accommodations: Tohickon Valley Park offers yurt options with solid platforms and comfortable beds. "No 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 it's great," notes a visitor at Tohickon Valley County Park.
Clean facilities: Little Red Barn Campground maintains well-kept shower buildings. A tent camper mentioned, "This was a quick two night stay at a campground that was heavily populated with seasonal rentals. We were tossed into a site in the middle of the seasonals. There was one bath house for the whole place. The pool was awesome."
What you should know
Primitive site locations: When tent camping, check the distance from sites to bathrooms. At Little Red Barn Campground, a visitor advised: "Primitive sites are very private, friendly staff, clean grounds. Cons: only one bathroom and it's very far from the primitive sites, E/W sites are between RVs."
Seasonal closures: Many yurt camping facilities near Maple Glen operate on limited schedules. "The campground is as basic as they get. Sites are close to each other with absolutely no privacy. Bathrooms however are nice and clean with plenty of them around the park," notes a camper at Green Lane Park.
Alcohol restrictions: State parks typically prohibit alcohol while private campgrounds allow it. At Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA, a camper mentioned: "My husband and I stayed for a week in one of the glamping tents. 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."
Tips for camping with families
Pool access during hot months: Boulder Woods offers a swimming pool for family cooling off. "We had a great time. Enjoyed a nice long weekend out of the city. Clean amenities. Will be coming back!" noted a family at Boulder Woods Campground.
Off-season quieter stays: French Creek State Park sees fewer visitors during spring and fall. "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great! If you're traveling through, there are many places to eat nearby. I'm a women in my thirties traveling alone and I felt very safe here," shares a camper.
Children's programming: Quakerwoods Campground runs organized activities for younger visitors. One visitor shared: "Ive been here a a couple different times and stayed in different sites each time and always had a great time!"
Tips from RVers
Site leveling preparedness: French Creek State Park offers paved pads that help with RV leveling. "We were in the D loop which is rustic with no hookups. Quiet, very few people mid-week. Spacious sites. Bathrooms were just okay. Muddy floors - don't know how often floors are cleaned," advises an RV camper.
Maneuverability in wooded areas: Quakerwoods Campground offers assistance for larger rigs in tight spots. "The spots are tight to get into but the staff will offer to park your camper using your vehicle. I let them park mine and I'm really glad I did. It was super tight. Gorgeous place though," recommends an RV owner.
Hookup availability: Check which utilities are offered at specific sites. "Stayed overnight on a drive, good cell service and lots of foliage between sites keeps them pretty private. Plenty of space, picnic table, fire ring, basic bathroom facilities," notes a French Creek visitor.
