      Hickory Run State Park Campground

      Peaceful State Park Camping in the Fall

      This is a large campground with a wide array of campsites so be careful attention when you book online, especially if you have a pet because some sites are not pet-friendly. Some are 50-amp full hook-up and some are primitive with no hook-ups. 

      There is a nice nature center with interesting interpretive exhibits and lots of informational brochures including ones about the hiking trails, bears, scat and tracks of local animals, and fishing. Our site was at the edge of the campground and backed up to Route 534 which resulted in a bit of road noise at our site. Other than the road noise the campground was pretty quiet and was not very crowded when we camped there in October. 

      Not all sites are level and we happened to book one that was not and we had to live with a slant for our stay. The roads in the park are gravel/dirt and since it rained the day we arrived the roads were a muddy mess which made the roads slippery and there were lots of potholes. Unfortunately, some campers were disrespectful and left bags of trash in the fire pit and scattered around their site which was totally unnecessary because there were dumpsters plenty of dumpsters in the campground. Since we camped at Hickory Run late in the season, there were no camp hosts and the trash never got picked up. 

      The campground is open from mid-April to mid-December; however, the shower facilities and dump station are not available after the third week of October so plan accordingly. We really like the hiking trails which are of varying degrees of difficulty and lengths. The Hawk Falls is a nice easy walk (1.4 miles round-trip) to a waterfall but is extremely popular so don’t think you will be admiring the falls alone. The parking lot at this trail head fills up fast so you better get there early if you want to get a spot. 

      You can enter the park from two different directions. If you have a big-rig, it is best to approach from the east side. We made the mistake of coming in from the west side as we dropped down from I-80 and came down 534 and the road was really windy with no shoulder. Luckily, there was very little traffic so we could go 10 mph and safely navigate the roads. 

      Be aware alcohol is not allowed in PA state parks. This park does allow hunting in certain sections of the park. The no-hunting areas are clearly marked with white no hunting signs on trees and you can also pick up a brochure from the office that designates hunting and no-hunting sections.

      Washington 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!

      Round Valley State Park Campground

      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!

      Neversink River Resort

      Cool Riverside Campground

      I'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.

      Tohickon Family Campground

      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.

      Hickory Run State Park Campground

      Beautiful forest

      Gorgeous forested area in the Poconos. We stayed on the Rattlesnake Loop which was lovely. Sites not super private but most nestled in trees. The only bummer was that that Campground Loop didn’t have any direct links to the trail network and was far from it. The other Campground Loop was closer to trails and office. Would return!

      Tohickon 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.

    Guide to Mount Bethel

    Mount Bethel sits at approximately 450 feet elevation in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains region, where summer temperatures average 75-85°F and winter can drop to 15-20°F. The area's dense woodlands create natural barriers between campsites at most campgrounds, with several offering yurt accommodations for campers seeking alternatives to tents or cabins in the varied terrain.

    What to do

    Hiking accessible trails: Jenny Jump State Forest offers multiple hiking paths directly from campsites, ranging from easy to moderate difficulty. "This place was great, they allow dogs and had hiking trails with beautiful views you could enjoy right from your campground. It's also close to other local hikes like Mt. Tammany," notes Fransheska A. from Jenny Jump State Forest.

    Wolf preserve tours: Camp Taylor Campground provides access to the Lakota Wolf Preserve with scheduled tours for campers. "You can take a short hike up the mountain there to see the wolves in the sanctuary. There are moments by the fire you can hear them howl in the distance," says Julie F. from Camp Taylor Campground.

    Fishing and boating: Spruce Run Recreation Area offers multiple waterfront campsites with direct reservoir access. "You can launch your kayak easily from the shore. The sites are large, many have nice mix of sun and shade," explains Ruette W. from Spruce Run Recreation Area.

    What campers like

    Private wooded sites: Mountainview Campground provides secluded camping spots under mature trees. "Our site was fully private (could not see or hear neighbors). Beautifully secluded and quiet. Pretty rare for campgrounds in NJ," writes Christina H. from Mountainview Campground.

    Clean facilities: Despite being rustic, many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathrooms. "Bathrooms were standard, compost toilets. The showers were free and generally quite hot," notes Seth K. about Jenny Jump State Forest.

    Yurt camping options: Several Mount Bethel area campgrounds offer yurt accommodations as alternatives to traditional tent camping. Great Divide Campground features yurts among their lodging options. "This is a beautiful campground with much to do around the grounds themselves. They had live music which was actually really good! A reggae band," mentions Julie from Great Divide Campground.

    What you should know

    Noise levels vary: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby highways. "You can hear 78, especially at night once the campground settles down," advises Jules T. about Spruce Run Recreation Area.

    Limited cell service: Reception can be spotty throughout the region. "The cell service for most providers is practically non-existent. I understand this is not the park's fault and some would say that this is 'real' camping," explains Jim G. about Timothy Lake South.

    Reservation requirements: Particularly during summer months, advance booking is necessary. "We spent Mother's Day weekend. Staff is friendly campsite is very clean. Seasonal in good condition. Sites a bit uneven - but large," reports Rebecca G. from Triple Brook Camping Resort.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Delaware Water Gap KOA offers dedicated play areas for children. "The whole scene was exactly what I love about camping, a nice little remote campground in the mountains. A playground for kids," notes Christina H. from Delaware Water Gap KOA.

    Swimming options: Many campgrounds have swimming areas, though water quality varies. "The swimming pond is pleasant and great to cool off in. The bathrooms/showers are clean and well maintained," shares Kathy G. about Camp Taylor Campground.

    Kid-friendly activities: Look for campgrounds with scheduled programs. "A nice small lake for swimming and boating. Clean Bathrooms. We walked to the point at Mt Tammany for a great view of the river," says Jean T. about Camp Taylor Campground.

    Tips from RVers

    Site dimensions: Some campgrounds have limited space between sites. "Sites are kinda close together but it was fairly quiet even though it was full," explains Mary H. about Timothy Lake South.

    Leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven terrain at some campgrounds. "Check-in was quick and easy in spite of Covid precautions. This is a first-come, first-serve park in the Thousand Trails system so we had to drive around looking for a spot," advises Jim G. about Timothy Lake South.

    Water pressure considerations: Water systems vary between campgrounds. "Our camp site was great (52), backed onto a wooded area and a big playground was directly in front of us, which worked out perfectly since we have school age kids," reports Penny C. about Delaware Water Gap KOA.
