Best Tent Camping near Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia and its surroundings have good tent camping spots within driving distance of the city. Fort Washington State Park Campground has tent sites near hiking trails and a river you can easily reach. Batona Campground in Wharton State Forest gives you a quieter option with tent areas among thick woods. The ground at both places is flat and good for pitching tents without much trouble. Some sites give you more privacy than others, depending on which one you choose. You'll find the tent pads have enough room for regular-sized tents without feeling cramped. The bathroom facilities aren't far from where you'll set up camp. Trees cover most sites, which helps keep things cool when the sun is out. You should book ahead if you can, particularly during summer and fall weekends when these places fill up quickly.
