Nockamixon State Park Cabins combine pet-friendly policies with electric heat and well-appointed interiors for fall and winter camping. Several campgrounds near Pipersville welcome dogs, including Ringing Rocks Family Campground, Colonial Woods Family Resort, and Little Red Barn Campground. Dogs must remain leashed throughout most properties, though each campground maintains different policies regarding number of pets allowed and designated exercise areas. The primitive tent sites at Little Red Barn offer more privacy and spacious accommodations for campers with pets than the densely packed RV sites. Campers appreciate that Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has expanded dog-friendly cabin options, though the number of pet-accommodating cabins remains limited.
Trails throughout Nockamixon State Park provide excellent options for exercising dogs on-leash, with access to lakeside paths and wooded areas. Most campgrounds require proof of current vaccinations at check-in, and additional pet fees may apply depending on accommodation type. Campers should note that bathroom facilities at some campgrounds can be located far from primitive camping areas, requiring longer walks with pets. Visitors with dogs particularly appreciate the clean grounds and variety of water-based activities available, though swimming access varies by location. When temperatures rise in summer months, early morning and evening walks are recommended to prevent paw pad burns on hot surfaces, with most trails offering partial shade coverage.
"The only thing I wish the DCNR would do is expand the dog friendly cabins. While we managed to get one of the dog friendly ones here, they are limited in number and Hill's Creek had no such cabins."
"Great place to picnic fish from land or boat, go for a nice scenic walk, go Kayaking, etc. If you don't own a boat, you can rent one right at the lake."
from $70 - $92 / night

"Nothing bad about this place, I love that it's set far enough away from the main road that you don't get the noise."
"Store has most, if not all you essentials. ( had to get an extension cord because I forgot one of mine) so, if everything was positive, why did I give it four stars??"
"There are many beautiful sights around including the Delaware River, ringing rocks Park, and Nockamixon. The park is clean and well-maintained, the facilities are clean as well."
"Dogs loved it too!"
"Dump station location isn’t ideal on a busy morning."
from $52 / night
Check Availability"When we got to the campsite and checked in, there was a chicken right outside the camp office, which my dog seemed to appreciate most!"
"Close by to a couple of nice state parks. Cute sheep and goats that wander about during the day! Sweet little spot, we'll definitely be back!"
"If you find yourself careening around the picturesque country roads here in Bucks County you will discover Quakerwoods Campground (named of course after the previous tri-cornered hat-donning Quaker residents"
"Tucked into the rolling farmland and lush hillsides of Bucks County just off Exit 44 of the PA Turnpike and Exits 60/60A from I-78, Quakerwoods Campground delivers a postcard-perfect countryside setting"
"Once you get to the campground trail it’s pretty easy going on asphalt surface."
"The crystal-clear water is home to huge lake trout and the forests are bursting with wildlife. The sunsets across the lake are to die for."
"Long story short, I spent several days looking for a close-by camp site for us to stay at as it was our first time tent camping."
"Nice place, a bit to close to the highways"
"It was quite muddy so we moved our set up into the grass field, we reserved the majority of the sites in this location so it worked well. The RV spots seem nice and large."
"Lake Towhee Park Campground: Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer). I rate based on desire for at least a moderate wilderness type experience w at least some camp site privacy."
"Very secluded and set back in the woods, but only a short drive to Nockamixon. Would definitely stay again!"
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.
TravelerMy husband and I came to this campground for a quick weekend getaway with our dogs. We had a great time!
The campground was very well taken care of. The sites had good tree coverage and we didn’t feel like we were right on top of the next site. There was tons of stuff to do. There’s a pond to fish, trails to walk/bike, basketball, sand volleyball, the list goes on and on. Both nights we were there, there were events being put on (a tractor ride, kickball, and a pool movie night). There was also a dog park which was very nice!
The staff was extremely kind and helpful and took great care of us!
Overall I highly recommend this campground, very family friendly. We’ll be going back!
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.
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.
Nockamixon State Park and surrounding campgrounds offer primitive tent sites and cabin accommodations within Pennsylvania's wooded landscapes near the Delaware River. Located in Bucks County where elevations range between 400-800 feet, camping areas provide access to several water features including Lake Nockamixon's 1,450-acre reservoir. Winter temperatures typically drop to 20-30°F while summer months average 75-85°F, creating distinct seasonal camping experiences.
Disc golf course access: Boulder Woods Campground features an extensive disc golf course popular among enthusiasts. "They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," explains Erik W. from Boulder Woods Campground.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple locations offer fishing access for various skill levels. "Great for family fishing and paddle boarding," notes Jennifer A. about Nockamixon State Park Cabins, while Colonial Woods includes a stocked pond where "kids could fish in the pond and easy access to the pool," according to Nathan R.
Ringing Rocks exploration: Located near several campgrounds, this unique geological formation provides unusual outdoor activity. "We went to Ringing Rocks county park and the kids were having so much fun making music they didn't want to leave," shares Justin B., who then stayed at Ringing Rocks Family Campground just "2 minutes up the road."
Boating and water activities: Lake access varies between locations with rental options available. "Beautiful lake for all water related activities. Trails are nice, although not as well-marked as some other places we've been," mentions Andrew G., highlighting the multiple recreation options.
Secluded tent sites: Many campers appreciate the privacy at certain locations. "The primitive sites are very private, friendly staff, clean grounds," reports Kelsey K. about Little Red Barn Campground, where tent sites are tucked away from RV areas.
Stargazing opportunities: Clear night skies make for excellent evening activities. "Very clean and quite. Bath stalls and showers are basic but clean. Great spot for stargazing. Owners are very nice," notes Scott A. from Mountainview Campground.
Wildlife encounters: The natural setting provides opportunities to observe local fauna. "Only shortly after we settled into our tent did we hear foxes fighting right outside our tent, the snorts of deer, and there were bats right above us all night making noise," Christina H. explains about her experience.
Family-focused activities: Scheduled events provide entertainment beyond natural attractions. "We had such a fun time during the summer between the pool, fishing at the pond and all the amazing amenities! Just walking around the campground is beautiful," shares Michelle D. about Colonial Woods Family Resort.
Bathroom distance concerns: At several campgrounds, facilities may be far from tent sites. "However, if you're tent camping the bathrooms are FAR and I highly doubt no one has ever peed outside at night instead of navigating through the night to them," notes Erika T. about Ringing Rocks Family Campground.
Site conditions vary: Ground surfaces differ significantly between campgrounds. "Sites are very close together. Too Expensive for the small site you have," reports Shelby L. about Quakerwoods Campground, while Lee D. mentions at another location "Our site was almost level but in order to reach the electric connection, we were sloped slightly downhill side-to-side."
Noise levels fluctuate: Proximity to roads affects the camping experience at certain locations. "Nice place, a bit to close to the highways," notes Joe B. about Boulder Woods Campground, while Christina H. reports at Mountainview only "Occasional, very minor traffic noise (mainly just from loud sports cars on the highway)."
Access challenges: Some locations have difficult entry roads or requirements. "The drive to our site had some inclines and was relatively rocky and some vehicles would surely struggle," reports Christina H., highlighting the importance of appropriate vehicle selection for certain campsites.
Special weekend events: Many campgrounds organize activities specifically for children. "We went on Father's Day weekend and they had nice arts and crafts for the kids to do for dad," explains Shannon C. about Colonial Woods Family Resort, providing structured entertainment options.
Kid-friendly water features: Splash areas complement regular swimming pools. "The pooL and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times," reports Nicole S., noting safety measures in place for young swimmers.
Playground accessibility: Multiple campgrounds offer play equipment. "They had a lot of scheduled crafts and to do for the kiddos and adults alike. Clean areas Pool, Bathhouses etc. Friendly staff and owners," Christine E. shares about the family-friendly atmosphere.
Nature exploration for children: Natural features engage young campers. Justin B. recounts, "Went to Ringing Rocks county park and the kids were having so much fun making music they didn't want to leave," highlighting how unique geological features can captivate children's attention.
Site dimensions: RV campers should research space limitations before booking. "If we still had our smaller travel trailer this review would've been at least 4 stars. However this place is not the place for you if you have a fifth wheel. The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides," warns Brian C. about Colonial Woods.
Seasonal restrictions: Age limitations may apply for longer stays. "They only allow seasonal campers to be 10 years old or newer. Ours is 13. Very disappointed," shares Caryn I. about Boulder Woods Campground, revealing policies that affect longer-term camping arrangements.
Dump station logistics: Facility placement affects departure experience. "Dump station location isn't ideal on a busy morning. I heard they might work on a second dump location and was told to ask if it's ok to stick around until it dies down if our site isn't needed soon," advises Nathan R., providing practical advice for RVers planning checkout times.
