    AT Group Campsite near Lehigh Gap

    Good site for camping

    Camped here the night before doing Lehigh Gap, it was less than a mile from the parking at Blue Mountain Rd. (Official A.T. parking). The only downside was my sleeping pad sprung a leak, so it wasn't the best night's sleep. But the site itself was great and I would camp there again.

    Blue Rocks Family Campground

    Very nice but a little pricey.

    Been here many times always in the fall. Never been here in summer so have never used the pool. Great little store and small grill restaurant. The trails and the rocks are nice. Our site was very rocky and on an incline so hard to get the camper level. It was a “pop up/tent” site and we were in a small travel trailer so it’s understandable. Only criticism is the it’s very pricey for what you get. And there online booking system isn’t very accurate as it said they were sold out and there was many open sites all weekend. Would be much better it they made more sites have even basic electric.

    Homestead Campground

    Here for a week

    Beautiful park. Looks like only 2 of the spots are for campers, rest are full time residents. The farther back you go in the park the worse condition the rv are. At time of visit the closest bathroom was under repair, it happens. Aggravating issues: Dump station has no water. People walk their dogs right thru your camp site and then don’t pick up after them.

    But yea, beautiful place

    Nice park

    This was a great campground. Very convenient for local sites, food, and shopping. Super clean, a large pool, and all well maintained.

    Locust Lake State Park Campground

    Edit: 1 star- Scout sites before paying!

    Beware: these sites are not travel trailer friendly.

    We booked two nights but upon arriving, we realized that there was no way to fit our trailer (only 25 ft). Trees were growing up in all the sites that were available and most of the ones without trees in the way were pointing in the wrong direction for backing into and NONE were level. Called the office, they told us what other sites were available and we tried every one. Only one was remotely suitable for a travel trailer and we had to drive the wrong way through the loop to be at the right angle to even try backing it in. No luck. I’m honestly shocked that they label some of these sites as RV friendly because wow. We left and had to find other accommodations. Trying to get a refund and currently navigating their phone system/trying to get a refund. Three phone conversations later and I’ll have to call another number on Monday to get the right person to issue the refund. We’ve never stayed at PA parks before but if they’re all like this, then it makes it really hard to plan when some sites are fine for trailers and some aren’t even close. Just heads up.

    UPDATE: Called back during business hours and got the “park manager.” Could only give a partial refund for one of the two nights. I said that they weren’t clear on the condition of the sites and he said there was nothing he could do about it.

    Hard with a large group

    Harder to do with a large group due to the early quiet hours, but park is very nice and well kept

    Stoevers Dam Park

    Park is closed. We were kicked out.

    LThe park is a beautiful city park. There are 7 small, level, back-in sites with electric, a picnic table and fire pit. We arrived in a Sunday and you have to call for a permit, but the office is only open on M-F during working hours. At 8 pm, a police officer told us the park was closed because of a bear, but that they had not gotten around to putting up signs. Wound up in a Walmart instead.


Guide to Perkiomenville

Tent and RV camping options near Perkiomenville, Pennsylvania range from primitive tent sites to full-hookup options across Montgomery and Berks counties. The region sits in the Schuylkill River watershed with elevations between 200-600 feet, creating moderate hiking conditions suitable for most skill levels. The landscape features a mix of hardwood forests, boulder fields, and small lakes that support diverse camping environments within a 30-minute drive radius.

What to do

Disc golf courses: Boulder Woods Campground offers an extensive disc golf course popular with enthusiasts. "They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," notes Erik W. at Boulder Woods Campground.

Fishing opportunities: Multiple stocked lakes provide year-round fishing access. At Evansburg State Park Campground, J K. reports, "I caught a beautiful Brown Trout here a few weeks ago! Great park. You need a license to fish, and if you plan on catching Trout you need the Trout endorsement on the fishing license, currently $9.90."

Kayaking and boating: Paddling is popular during warmer months. "We spent Saturday afternoon fishing but not catching anything at Scott's Run. It's a beautiful location and it was still a fun way to spend the day with the kids away from the site," reports Ellen C. from French Creek State Park.

Boulder exploration: The region features interesting rock formations for climbing and exploration. At Boulder Ridge Farm, one camper shared, "Great place to escape the stress of every day life. Plenty of fire wood, really cool huge rocks and waking up to owls was awesome."

What campers like

Site privacy levels: Campgrounds offer varying degrees of privacy between sites. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," notes Jen R. about French Creek State Park Campground.

Modern bathroom facilities: Several campgrounds maintain well-kept facilities. "Bathrooms were very nice and clean with large showers. Nice area to wash dishes," reports another French Creek visitor.

Convenient seasonal options: The region has year-round camping availability. At Village Scene Park, Linda F. shared, "We've stayed here a couple times in past. Have family in the area. Grew up in this area so very comfortable and easy access to lots of places! This visit we stayed six months May to October."

Rustic charm: Many sites preserve natural settings. "The rustic barn and meadow by the creek was exactly what my wife and I wanted for our special day. The fact that there was an old mill on the property and a covered bridge right out front for post wedding photos was icing on the cake for us," describes Harry L. from Tohickon Family Campground.

What you should know

Tent site conditions: Tent camping areas vary significantly in quality. At Tohickon, Jodi B. warns, "We recently went camping with a tent there. Not tent friendly first night we slept on rocks second night we got moved to a spot which actually had some grass. Everything has weird hours."

Store hours and amenities: Services operate on limited schedules at some locations. "The cafe is only open on weekends and the store is only open from like 10:00 to 4:00 p.m. and that's it," continues the Tohickon reviewer.

Site terrain challenges: Many campgrounds feature rocky terrain. At Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park, Tara T. explains, "The spaces are right on top of each other with no tree cover between spots, so you'll definitely be right up on your neighbors. The fire rings are big and frustrating, the fire sits on a lifted grate so you go through wood like crazy."

Advanced reservations: Popular weekends book quickly. "Stayed over for one night in early December. The honor system of payment at the office makes it really easy to come in late and leave early, make sure you have cash on you as it was unclear if checks were accepted," advises a French Creek visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. At Boulder Woods, Shannon C. reports, "This is a great campground. Bill and Kate are friendly and helpful. They have so much to do for kids!!"

Group camping logistics: When camping with multiple families, site selection matters. "We had a great time. Enjoyed a nice long weekend out of the city. Clean amenities. Will be coming back!" notes Stephanie B. from Boulder Woods.

Kid-friendly activities: Look for campgrounds with organized events. Ellen C. from Nockamixon State Park Cabins shares, "Great for family fishing and paddle boarding."

Walking distances: Consider bathroom proximity when camping with small children. At French Creek, one camper notes, "We stayed in Loop C, which is the only dog friendly loop in the campground, on sites 35, 37, 39, & 40. Thankfully, a short walk to the bathroom facilities for us tent campers."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: Most campgrounds offer prepared RV pads. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze," reports Jen R. about French Creek State Park.

RV parking assistance: Some campgrounds offer help with difficult site access. "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," shares Erik W. about Boulder Woods Campground.

Seasonal restrictions: Age restrictions apply at some locations. A Boulder Woods camper warns, "They only allow seasonal campers to be 10 years old or newer. Ours is 13. Very disappointed."

Hookup availability: Water and electric options vary by campground. Stuart K. from Village Scene Park details, "Amenities include: 30/50 electrical amp on all sites, private mailboxes, public water and sewer hook-ups, 24 hour coin-operated laundry, WiFi (albeit quite low speed), restroom/shower facilities (that are just mediocre) and Cable TV/gas for an additional price."
