RangerWe stayed here for a night in transit. Beautiful campground — lots of trees, pond, kids play equipment, dog park, etc. facilities all clean and whole place is well maintained. Easy late arrival. Good location - convenient but far enough off the highway. Would stay here again.
ScoutBeautiful Campground. Clean. Gravel sites. Fire ring and picnic table. All sites have ample room. Lots of pull through for bigger rigs. Wooded. Large dog park. Love the Campground except our site is near a fairly busy road which takes away from that beautiful tranquility. They have camouflaged it as best they could. Friendly staff. Lots to do. Pool, tennis. Sauna, pond for fishing ( catch & release ). Would definitely recommend.
TravelerThis was our first camping trip with our camper. The staff are wonderful, the whole campsite is very dog friendly and even has a dog park. Lots of stuff to do for kids including a game room. Only downside is the sites are a bit small. Overall, great place to camp. Beautiful hiking trails nearby.
GuideMy family and I stayed at French Creek State Park while attending an event in Reading. The park was clean and well maintained. We stayed in Loop A which had no camp host. The camp hosts were in loops B & C. We had a full hook up site. The water and electric worked great! The campground was well patrolled by Rangers throughout our stay. The bathhouses appeared to be clean and maintained. The quiet time starts at 9pm and seemed to be followed by most campers. There are numerous hiking trails in the park that seemed to be well marked and maintained. The park is about 20- mins from Reading, and 10 mins from Birdsbroro. There are many stores and restaurants in the area for food and supplies if needed. We had good cellular service with both AT&T and T-Mobile. The one downside was that there was no off leash dog park. We had to take our dog to a dog park in Birdsbroro. We would stay at this park again.
GuideWe stayed here for 3 nights and thought well of the park. The place was meticulously clean and the permanent campers keep their sites so well. The pool was warm, clean and enjoyable. There’s a nice playground and a GaGa pit. There’s lots of space to walk your dog on leash but no dog park. We had an issue with our surge protector and the manager had an electrician out to us quickly who helped us solve a problem. Pleasant staff in the camp store. The laundry area and shower rooms are beautiful and clean.
There is nothing to do in the immediate area, but we were there to use the bike trails and bop around Jim Thorpe…about 25 minutes away via pretty country roads.
Guidewell marked trails great for hiking. pet friendly! we love walking here with our dog. there are even a few great spots to get a small creek swim in! It also has a greag picnic area with grills.
LegendWest Chester KOA This is a really nice KOA not too far from downtown Philly. The campground is located in a beautiful part of the Pennsylvania countryside with rolling hills which meant the roads getting there are narrow and windy. A bridge nearby the campground was washed out earlier by a hurricane so we had to take an alternative route going about thirty minutes out of our way. (Make sure you check their website for directions!) There is a lot to do in the surrounding area like visiting the historical sites in downtown Philadelphia, Valley Forge, or exploring Amish country.
This is a typical KOA with lots of amenities and activities for kids– swimming pool, jump pad, miniature golf, volleyball, butterfly garden, gem mining, playground, store, dog park, nature trail, etc. There is a large pool area with pavilion but it was closed during our stay since we were there early in the season. The campground is right on the Brandywine River which is a slow meandering pretty river that is great to get your feet wet or go for a paddle. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent if you have time and as there is very little current in the river you can paddle out and back without any trouble. There is a nice, short nature trail which was nice to walk our dog and she enjoyed getting wet in the river.
The campground is hilly which means that a fair number of sites are not level. Our site (#27) was level for our RV but the patio sloped downhill and we could not use our picnic table or find a level spot for our chairs. Some sites are “premiums” with paved patios, Adirondack chairs, fancy firepits, BBQ grill, and tables and chairs with an umbrella. These sites are really nice, but you pay a lot more for them. Some sites are located adjacent to the river with nice waterfront views, but beware some might be muddy. There are lots of camping cabins and a couple of glamping tents.
Overall, the campground is very clean with no trash lying around and the grass was mowed and trimmed. The 50-amp electric was good as was the water pressure. The sewer connection uphill from our site so it did not drain properly. There is basic cable but since you are so close to Philly there are plenty of over-the-air channels. The Wi-Fi at our site worked well. Garbage is picked up at your site. The surrounding area has plenty of restaurants, shopping, and interesting things to see and do.
TravelerWe went on a last-minute trip from Philly in what I think was opening weekend (April). We wanted to hike with toddlers, so that took up most of our Saturday. Main Ranger Station was really nice. We hope to come back and see more of the campground itself and try additional hikes. We took the short drive to Hawk Falls Trail and also completed the Orchard Trail Loop. Bathrooms with showers were just what we needed and easy to walk to, shared between our pet-friendly loop and another loop. Good sinks for cleaning dishes.
Stayed at 199 on the pet-friendly 165-228 loop. Lots of people walking dogs. Very varied length of campsites and privacy. Many around the inside of loops, especially right at the bathrooms would have been pretty tight, or possibly good if you were reserving a couple in a row. Would have been nice to have a big tree between ours and site 195, but there was some distance.
Check out was 3pm, which is awesome!
LegendThis is unquestionably the best KOA I’ve been to. I usually do not like KOA, except when there are no alternatives. This one is way above average. Typically these places are all gravel and dust. This one has paved roads, grass and trees. There is a pond for fishing, too. The only complaint is that, like all KOAs, the sites are on top of each other. The neighbor’s sewer connection is right next to our picnic table! But, the sites are large enough for large RVs, they have 30/50 amp hookups and water & sewer. There are cabins and large tents you can rent. There is a playground, pavilion, laundry, and several shower/bathrooms. (The one near us didn’t have hot water. The office people said they were working on it.) There us also a large, grassy, fenced dog park which my 2 spaniels appreciated.

The region experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F and winter temperatures often dropping below freezing. Most campsites near Perkasie operate from April through October when conditions are optimal for outdoor recreation.
Disc golf courses: near several campgrounds. Boulder Woods Campground features an extensive disc golf course that attracts enthusiasts. "They have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," notes Erik W. Green Lane Park also offers "phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing" according to Benjamin C.
Historical sites exploration: within 15-30 minute drive. The area surrounding French Creek State Park Campground connects to significant historical landmarks. "There is the Reading and Berks County Visitors Bureau and Chester County Visitors Bureau, State Game Lands 43, Nolde Forest Environmental Education Center, Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site and Daniel Boone Homestead," explains Jen R., highlighting attractions beyond the park boundaries.
Musical rock formations: unique geological feature. Ringing Rocks Family Campground offers proximity to a fascinating natural phenomenon. "Bring a hammer," advises Gregg G., while another camper explains, "The rocks really do ring when hit with another rock." This unusual attraction provides an interactive experience for visitors of all ages.
Private tent sites: more secluded camping options. At Little Red Barn Campground, tent campers appreciate the separate camping areas. "The primitive sites are very private, friendly staff, clean grounds," notes Kelsey K., who specifically requested to move from the RV section to the more secluded tent sites. Similarly, Lake Towhee County Park features "great, cozy sites" with "very large sites" and "site privacy" rated highly by Roger W.
Clean facilities: consistently mentioned feature. Quakerwoods Campground receives praise for maintenance standards. "Very clean campground, clean bathrooms and showers," mentions one reviewer. The facilities throughout campgrounds in the region typically include restrooms with running water, shower buildings, and designated dish washing stations.
Fishing opportunities: accessible from multiple campgrounds. Several locations offer fishing without leaving the property. "There is a fishing pond," notes Stuart K. about Quakerwoods, while Colonial Woods Family Resort features "a lake where you could fish" according to Nicole S. French Creek State Park provides two lakes where anglers can catch "northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish."
Muddy conditions: common after rainfall. Multiple campgrounds report drainage issues, particularly in tent areas. At Tohickon Family Campground, "It becomes flooded or turns into a mudpit" after rain according to LU D. Similarly, another camper notes "we were down by creek so it was very muddy" at Ringing Rocks Family Campground.
Seasonal limitations: most campgrounds close during winter. The majority of pet friendly camping near Perkasie operates from April through October. Colonial Woods Family Resort specifies a season of "Apr 4 - Nov 1," while Ringing Rocks operates "Apr 1 to Oct 31." Only French Creek State Park remains open "All year" for those seeking winter camping options.
Site selection importance: significant variation between sites. Many campgrounds feature dramatic differences between site types and locations. "Depends on the site," notes Ian P. about Colonial Woods, explaining "while the seasonal sites have lots of room the transient sites are much more on top of each other." At Little Red Barn, the tent sites are "more private and spacious" but require "a long walk to the bathroom."
Splash zones: kid-friendly water options. Colonial Woods Family Resort offers specialized water features for younger children. "The pool and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times," reports Nicole S. Several other campgrounds include pools but with varying seasonal availability.
Organized activities: scheduled events for children. Many campgrounds coordinate regular programming. "They had nice arts and crafts for the kids to do for dad" during Father's Day weekend at Colonial Woods according to Shannon C. Boulder Woods receives praise for having "so much to do for kids" while Quakerwoods offers "hay rides and playground" activities.
Playground access: standard feature at most campgrounds. French Creek State Park includes "a nice playground situated conveniently between the loops of the campground" with features like "slides, a bridge, lots of monkey bars, ladders to climb on and the best feature was the zip line." Both Quakerwoods and Colonial Woods also maintain playground equipment for different age groups.
Site dimensions: critical for larger rigs. Colonial Woods presents challenges for big RVs. "If you have a fifth wheel, this place is not the place for you. The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed," warns Brian C. Most campgrounds recommend confirming site dimensions before booking.
Layout differences: varying privacy between RV sites. At Nockamixon State Park Cabins, full-hookup sites offer more space than at some private campgrounds. One reviewer notes the cabins are "well appointed" with "full electric with heat" making them suitable for RV campers seeking alternatives. For traditional RV camping, French Creek State Park features sites that "have a paved level area which made set up a breeze" and "were not on top of each other."
Hookup variations: not all sites offer full connections. Throughout the region's pet friendly camping options, water and electric hookups are more common than sewer connections. "Not all sites have sewer hookups, oops," reports one camper at Little Red Barn, highlighting the importance of verifying utilities when booking. French Creek provides "sites with full hookups for RVs, some with electric only but mostly primitive sites."
