Navigation to several mountain campgrounds requires careful planning, particularly for motorhomes over 35 feet. Most parks provide sanitary dump stations, though Pine Hill RV Park charges an additional fee for this service. Cell service varies significantly across the region, with AT&T generally providing better coverage than Verizon at Lake-In-Wood Campground. Pet-friendly options are limited to specific loops or sections in some parks, including French Creek State Park where only Loop C allows pets with electric hookups. During peak fall foliage season, advance reservations are essential as many parks reach capacity, especially on weekends. Propane refill services are available at several locations, though prices vary considerably between parks and nearby towns.

What a great place. So unique! Love the view, and a great experience! There are no hook ups, so be prepared but if you are looking for the dispersed camping experience you have found it. What a gem!

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.

Upscale Parking Paradise at This Home Fixer-Upper
Located just off US Route 1 in the upscale Princeton area, this spacious Lowe's serves up a surprisingly pleasant patch of pavement for weary road warriors looking to catch some shut-eye. Set back roughly 80 yards from the highway, this big blue home improvement retailer offers a generously sized parking lot with relatively manageable traffic, good maneuverability and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect from such a busy suburban retail corridor. The western and southern edges of the lot are particularly appealing for an overnight stay, and with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several other retailers nearby, convenience certainly isn't in short supply. Better yet, the store management was friendly and accommodating when we called ahead to arrange our overnight visit.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spacious, paved parking lot with plenty of room to maneuver larger rigs; (2) Convenient access to US Route 1 and nearby I-95; (3) Western and southern parking areas offer quieter spots away from the busiest customer traffic; (4) Excellent nearby conveniences, including Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several dining options; and (5) Friendly store management that welcomed our overnight stay, plus surprisingly good opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) Some daytime retail traffic and occasional road noise, although nothing terribly disruptive; (2) No RV hookups, dump station or dedicated overnight camping facilities; (3) Parking areas closest to the store can become crowded during business hours; (4) Limited greenery and little of the scenery you'd expect from a traditional campground; and (5) While the overnight experience was excellent, this is still a commercial parking lot rather than a destination for an extended stay.
Happy Overnighting!
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!

The best views
This is a hidden gem, as close to dispersed camping you can get with dirt, gravel roads, large stone fire pits, a amazing views with the added benefit of a five gallon jug of non potable water and very clean port-a-potties. The owner regularly patrols the site and makes sure everything is okay.

Old Mill Stream Campground
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.
Adam and Suzanne B.GuideBeacon Hill Camping
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.

Big sites with lots of trees
We only spent the night and didn't look at the amenities. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.
Guide to Pennsburg
Pennsburg, Pennsylvania offers diverse camping options within a region characterized by rolling hills and varied terrain elevations from 200-500 feet. Located in the Perkiomen watershed, campers experience significant seasonal temperature fluctuations with summer highs reaching 85°F and winter lows dipping well below freezing. Many campgrounds throughout Montgomery and Berks counties operate with different seasonal schedules, requiring advance planning.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Green Lane Park features multiple fishing spots where campers can catch various species. "Lots of sports gear available for free to use within park, has to be returned by 5 when main office closes," notes one visitor to Spring Gulch Resort Campground.
Disc golf courses: Several parks offer dedicated disc golf facilities, particularly at Green Lane Park. "Phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing," reports a camper who visited Deep Creek Campground.
Mountain biking adventures: Blue Mountain Resort combines camping with adventure sports. "If you choose adventure this is the place for you, ride the ski lifts up to the top of the mountain then you get to bike down it, they have rental bikes available or bring your own," describes a reviewer at Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort.
What campers like
Clean bathroom facilities: Many campers highlight the importance of well-maintained restrooms. "The laundry area and shower rooms are beautiful and clean," mentions one reviewer about Stonybrook RV Resort, while another notes the park has "Shower/bathrooms are the best I've ever seen."
Swimming pools: Several rv parks near Pennsburg maintain well-kept pools. "The pool was very nice and refreshing. I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end," writes a camper about Robin Hill Campground.
Unique accommodations: Beyond standard RV sites, specialty lodging options draw attention. "There are a lot of really neat and different rentals here like a tree house, double decker bus, among others," notes a reviewer about Lake-In-Wood Campground, which offers glamping options and yurts.
What you should know
Site conditions vary significantly: Some campgrounds have elevation and drainage issues. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site," reports one camper about Robin Hill Campground.
Tight spacing at certain parks: Many campgrounds maximize capacity which affects privacy. "The sites are right on top of each other with no tree cover between spots, so you'll definitely be right up on your neighbors," explains a visitor to Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park.
Noise considerations: Industrial activity affects some camping experiences. "There is a quarry close by so you could hear the trucks beeping and the noise from there," shares a camper about Lake-In-Wood Campground.
Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds around Pennsburg operate seasonally. "The place is incredibly quiet and far enough away from busy traffic," writes a reviewer about Village Scene Park, one of the few year-round options.
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Multiple campgrounds offer kid-friendly recreation areas. "Nice playground for the kids and a small arcade. We had a great time and will definitely go back," mentions a visitor to Lake-In-Wood Campground.
Organized activities: Family-oriented campgrounds schedule regular events. "They had an art activity for the children, BINGO on Friday night, and a live band on Saturday night," shares a camper at Robin Hill Campground.
Farm animal experiences: Some campgrounds include animal encounters. "Goats to pet and watch," reports a visitor to Lake-In-Wood Campground, adding an educational dimension for children.
Miniature golf access: Several parks maintain mini-golf courses for family recreation. "This resort is a lot bigger than you would anticipate from the road/entryway. Tons of amenities for families including mini golf, an arcade, pools, fishing ponds, etc," writes a camper about Spring Gulch Resort.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Terrain requires preparation at many parks. "Site was very level and nicely graded. We didn't have any trouble getting in and out and all the hook-ups were well-placed and worked well," notes a visitor to Pine Hill RV Park.
Entry road considerations: Access roads present navigation challenges for larger rigs. "The entrance made for a challenging entry up a steep grade, narrow roadway, and sharp turn in. I made it without problems, but it wasn't easy in a 45' motorhome towing a Jeep," cautions an RVer at Stonybrook RV Resort.
Off-season availability: Year-round options exist but are limited. "We've stayed here a couple times in past. Have family in the area. This visit we stayed six months May to October," shares a guest of Village Scene Park.
Utility reliability: Power quality varies between campgrounds. "Low voltage throughout the campground," reports a visitor to Appalachian Camping Resort, highlighting the importance of surge protectors for sensitive equipment.
