Seasonal releases from the upstream dam create world-class whitewater rafting opportunities twice yearly near these glamping sites, drawing paddling enthusiasts to the comfortable accommodations. Hikers can explore miles of trails directly accessible from both resorts, with some routes connecting to the Appalachian Trail for more ambitious adventures. The nearby Ringing Rocks park offers a unique geological attraction where visitors can bring hammers to strike the boulder field and produce bell-like tones.

According to a camper, "Our kids love the pool and splash area," while another noted the "ton of scheduled crafts and to do for the kiddos and adults alike."

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.

Great off season camping
We camped here in our pop up for our Anniversary in November. We were impressed with the cleanliness and available amenities for the time of year we were camping in! Close proximity to DWG and PA AND NJ attractions.

Large sites & friendly staff!
Another great experience. Sites were large. Staff was friendly with many different things for kids to do. Great base camp for local hikes.

The Delaware River Valley's terrain features gentle hills and lowland areas with an average elevation of 220 feet above sea level, creating ideal conditions for year-round camping. Several campgrounds maintain yurt accommodations through colder months, though availability decreases after late October.
What to do
Visit Ringing Rocks Park: Located near Ringing Rocks Family Campground, this unique geological formation creates musical tones when struck with a hammer. A reviewer recommends: "Bring a hammer" for the full experience, while another camper shares that "the rocks really do ring when hit with another rock." The park features a boulder field where visitors can create their own musical experience.
Kayak the Delaware River: The Delaware River offers paddling opportunities with easy access from Washington Crossing State Park. One visitor notes: "Kayakers should launch from the Pennsylvania side's boat access for an iconic paddle on the Delaware River." The river maintains a gentle current suitable for beginners during summer months, with rental options available at several points.
Experience historical reenactments: History enthusiasts can witness Revolutionary War demonstrations at Washington Crossing. A camper advises: "Stop by on Christmas for a treat! Every year, they re-enact Washington's troops crossing the Delaware!" This annual tradition draws hundreds of visitors who watch costumed interpreters recreate the famous 1776 crossing.
What campers like
Private tent sites: Little Red Barn Campground offers secluded camping areas away from RVs. A camper mentions: "The primitive sites are very private, friendly staff, clean grounds." Another camper adds, "I took a walk with my dog and saw the primitive sites tucked in the back of the grounds... We ended up setting up camp at site 31 - which was spacious enough for two large tents and very private."
Riverside camping experiences: Camp Carr Campground provides sites along the water's edge. A regular visitor shares: "All the sites are along the river so the view and peaceful sound of the river are wonderful." The riverside location creates a relaxing atmosphere with constant natural sound and cooling effects during summer months.
Year-round yurt options: Mountainview Campground maintains yurt accommodations through multiple seasons. A visitor reports: "We just bought a small tear drop trailer and have begun taking it on weekend excursions. We took it to Mountain View this weekend... Very friendly staff, quiet, wooded area, not that remote, but feels like a million miles away." The property's yurts feature wooden platforms, canvas walls, and basic furnishings.
What you should know
Seasonal restrictions: Many campgrounds limit operations during colder months. At Spruce Run Recreation Area, a visitor notes: "I paid $41 for 2 days. Campsites well spaced apart. Staff friendly. Boats/Kayaks can be rented." However, they also point out: "Showers were cold water only and very cold at that. Late at night you can hear the drone of a major highway."
Weather considerations: New Hope area camping can involve challenging conditions. A camper at Tohickon Campground warns: "Don't come if your in a tent And It Has Been or will rain, It Becomes Flooded or turns into A mudPit." Spring camping particularly requires waterproof gear and elevated tent sites.
Bathroom access varies: Facilities differ significantly between campgrounds. One Little Red Barn Campground visitor cautions: "only one bathroom and it's very far from the primitive sites." Plan accordingly when booking yurt accommodations, as some may have nearby facilities while others require longer walks to restrooms.
Tips for camping with families
Look for scheduled activities: Colonial Woods Family Resort offers regular programming for different age groups. A satisfied visitor shares: "They did a few activities the one we did go to was the casino night where they had separate play areas for kids and adults. All the money made is donated to Shriners Children's Hospital which is awesome and the kids loved the candy and little prizes they won."
Consider pool access: Water features provide entertainment during warmer months. A Colonial Woods visitor comments: "The pool and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times. The posted pool hours were not as described they don't really tell you but it was open a little later."
Reserve sites away from party areas: Some campgrounds experience noise issues after dark. A Spruce Run visitor advises: "It was very loud and rowdy into the late night. There were campers making lots of noise, arming/disarming their car alarms, slamming doors, cars driving in/out, bright lights flashing, etc. all PASSED 2am!!" Request quieter sections when traveling with children.
Tips from RVers
Watch for low clearance: Tree limbs present challenges at some campgrounds. One Colonial Woods visitor warns: "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)." Measure your RV height before arrival and request assistance navigating to your site if needed.
Consider alternative dump options: At Tohickon Valley County Park, limited sanitation facilities may require planning. A visitor notes: "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." The park maintains dump stations with specific operating hours.
Book sites based on utility locations: Power and water hookup placement varies between campgrounds. A Camp Carr visitor suggests: "We prefer even numbered sites as the hook ups for odd number are on the front side of the trailer unless the site is long enough to pull into or you have a motor home." This consideration affects how easily you can connect to utilities.
