RV campgrounds near Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania sit within Montgomery County's rolling hills, averaging 200-300 feet elevation. The area receives approximately 47 inches of rainfall annually, with summer high temperatures typically reaching 85-90°F. Most campgrounds remain accessible from April through October, though winter camping options are limited due to seasonal closures and potentially icy conditions.
What to do
Disc golf adventures: Green Lane Park features an 18-hole disc golf course that campers frequently mention. "Phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing," notes Benjamin C. about Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park.
Historical explorations: The Morgan Log House near Village Scene Park provides insight into colonial Pennsylvania. "For history buffs, check out nearby Morgan Log House, which has some nice historical significance and is super close to VSP," shares Stuart K.
Water recreation: Multiple lakes and reservoirs offer fishing and boating opportunities. "The campgrounds are clean but the sites are way too close together and there is not any privacy," reports Katrina Z. about Green Lane Park, though she notes the park itself is lovely with well-marked trails.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many Huntingdon Valley area campgrounds maintain well-kept bathrooms and common areas. "Very clean campground. Clean restrooms, lots of open space!" Joe B. says about Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park.
Swimming options: Several campgrounds feature pools for summer recreation. "Weekend stay here and instead of leaving on Sunday, we booked another day. Great swimming pool, immaculately clean bathrooms and showers," reports Jim C. about Sun Valley Campground.
Wooded seclusion: Primitive tent sites often offer more privacy than RV sections. "The Tent sites are The Best Thing about this Place, They are a lot more Private and spacious," writes LU D. about Little Red Barn Campground, despite giving the campground an overall low rating.
What you should know
Site spacing varies significantly: While some campgrounds offer spacious sites, others place units quite close together. "The sites are lined up next to each other along the campground driveway and there are absolutely no trees or shrubs between them," warns Jen about Green Lane Park.
Seasonal operation schedules: Many RV parks near Huntingdon Valley close during winter months. "We went for the weekend and loved it. Already looking to book another trip. Very clean campground," notes Ricky R. about Lake-In-Wood Campground, which operates primarily during warmer months.
Access road challenges: Some campgrounds have navigation difficulties. "The roads were very tight and you really had to watch how you drove through because of the trees," cautions Mary C. about Lake-In-Wood Campground, noting site spaces can be limited.
Tips for camping with families
Diverse accommodation options: Some campgrounds offer unique lodging beyond traditional sites. "There are a lot of really neat and different rentals here like a tree house, double decker bus, among others. Nice playground for the kids and a small arcade," shares Jen R. about Lake-In-Wood Campground.
Activity planning: Many campgrounds schedule regular events for children. "The store is closed due to covid but the pool is open. There was a Leibys ice cream truck and food stand open the whole weekend. There were also planned activities for children and adults," reports Becca U. about Sun Valley Campground.
Proximity to attractions: Several campgrounds position themselves near family destinations. "We stayed two nights at this park because we wanted to spend a day at Six flags... We would camp here again to go to six flags because it was easy to drive back a few minutes after a long day at the park," explains Valen K. about Indian Rock RV Resort and Campground.
Tips from RVers
Urban proximity advantages: RV parks near Huntingdon Valley provide convenient access to Philadelphia. "VSP's location is great for those wanting to access some of the bigger, better things in Philly proper, without having to actually stay in the city. You will certainly feel safe leaving your RV to go into the city and explore," advises Stuart K.
Public transportation options: Some campgrounds offer connections to regional transit. "Nearby there's a SEPTA Doylestown/Landsdale regional rail line stop that will pretty much give you all of the direct access to the city without having to bother with driving through any of the traffic to enjoy Philly," reports a visitor to Village Scene Park.
Site leveling considerations: Terrain can affect setup at some campgrounds. "Our site was a drive-through but slanted. There wasn't much room on our site to do anything else. The fire ring was about all the room allowed," notes Mary C. about Lake-In-Wood, highlighting the importance of leveling equipment when camping in the Huntingdon Valley region.
