LegendHickory 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.
Peggy C.TravelerCountry Acres Campground
Lovely campground!
Country Acres is a lovely, well maintained campground. Sites are level and bath house facilities clean and modern. Friendly staff in the office. Dog friendly. Local to all the Lancaster attractions. A complimentary farmland tour is offered by bus and it was great. They take you out into an area of Amish farms and shops and make a stop at 2 of these. The fresh Amish pretzels are amazing!

Never Again
The advertisements for Olde Mill Campground were disingenuous. The campsite was 20 yards from a roller coaster. The NOISE of the roller coaster and children on it screaming was as relentless and unnerving as any train we have ever slept near. There was no quiet until almost midnight. The “pull-through” site left my truck almost in the road and our 25’ Airstream slightly over the road on the backside. The site was not level. The sites were close enough to hear a neighbor’s snoring.

Great location
We stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.
Brian T.ScoutCountry Acres Campground
Excellent But.
The campground is in excellent condition. The facilities are top notch. The excellence and care of the campground is evident. The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire.

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!
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.

What to do

Watercraft rentals: Explore the lake at Nockamixon State Park by canoe, kayak, or sailboat. "If you don't own a boat, you can rent one right at the lake," notes a reviewer. The cabins here provide easy lake access for water activities.
Boulder field exploration: Just 30 minutes from Pennsburg, families enjoy climbing at the unique geological formations. "Our children loved to climb all over the rocks, that is where they spent most of the time," explains a visitor at Blue Rocks Family Campground.
What campers like
Spacious camping areas: French Creek State Park Campground offers well-designed sites with adequate separation. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," reports one camper who rated the experience 5 stars.
Clean facilities: Modern restrooms and shower houses are consistently maintained at Allentown KOA. "Bathrooms very clean and stocked with stuff you might need," notes a reviewer. Their family-friendly amenities include showers with good water pressure.
Quiet wooded settings: Cabins near Pennsburg provide seclusion within forested surroundings. "It is very peaceful to camp here as you have different types of environments. You can be down near the creek and in the open more, in the wooded areas, or you can be near the corn field and glacier rock field," explains a guest at Blue Rocks Family Campground.
What you should know
Varying bathroom proximity: At many campgrounds, primitive sites offer more privacy but require longer walks to facilities. "The primitive sites are very private, friendly staff, clean grounds. Cons: only one bathroom and it's very far from the primitive sites," explains a tent camper at Little Red Barn Campground.
Seasonal restrictions: While some state park cabins operate year-round, many private campgrounds close during winter. "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great!" notes a winter visitor to French Creek State Park, highlighting its all-season availability.
Reservation requirements: For cabin rentals specifically, booking ahead is essential. "We were able to book our sites online which was also a nice feature. The website is very easy to use and you can also call a phone number and they can help you book your stay at any State Park," shared a camper.
Tips for camping with families
Theme weekends: Ringing Rocks Family Campground offers special activities for children during holidays. "We went on Halloween weekend and they had so much for the kids to do! Friendly staff and clean sites!" noted a family visitor who appreciated the programming.
Wagon rides: Weekly wagon rides provide entertainment for children at several campgrounds. A visitor to Quakerwoods Campground mentioned, "There appears to be a pool but it is not in use during our time there in October, although the kids have been able to enjoy a hayride and the Halloween decor that some of the seasonal campers display."
Multiple playgrounds: Facilities with separate play areas positioned throughout the grounds make supervision easier. "There is a very large 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," reported a family at French Creek.
Tips from RVers
Leveling assistance: Some cabin and RV sites require skill to access. At Boulder Woods Campground, "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."
Dump station availability: Not all campgrounds offer 24-hour dump station access. "The dump station didn't have running water," noted a visitor to Allentown KOA, highlighting the importance of checking facility hours and services when planning arrival and departure times.
Site selection strategy: When booking cabins near Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, consider specific site features. "We had sites #32 & #34 in Loop B and the kids had a lot of room to run and play between the two sites," shared a French Creek visitor, demonstrating how strategic booking can enhance group camping experiences.
