Cabin camping options near Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania span across Bucks and Berks counties at elevations between 400-800 feet. The region's humid continental climate features four distinct seasons with summer temperatures typically reaching 85°F, making May through October the prime camping months. Winter camping is available at some locations, though with limited amenities as temperatures can drop below freezing.
What to do
Explore the ringing rocks: At Ringing Rocks Family Campground, visitors can experience a unique geological formation. "Great place to just relax. I have spent many weeks here, nice setup and spacious sites. The rocks really do ring when hit with another rock," notes Kathie M. The rocks create metallic sounds when struck with a hammer.
Fishing at multiple lakes: The region offers several fishing spots with different species. At Nockamixon State Park Cabins, visitors can fish from the shore or boat. "Beautiful lake for all water related activities. Trails are nice, although not as well-marked as some other places we've been," says Andrew G. The lake contains multiple fish species including bass and panfish.
Seasonal activities and events: Many campgrounds organize special activities throughout their operating season. At Colonial Woods Family Resort, "They had a playground, lake where you could fish, cornhole, and minigolf. They did a few activities the one we did go to was the casino night where they had separate play areas for kids and adults," reports Nicole S. Halloween weekends often feature extra programming for children.
What campers like
Private tent sites: For those preferring seclusion, some campgrounds offer more secluded options. At Little Red Barn Campground, "The primitive sites are very private, friendly staff, clean grounds," according to Kelsey K. These sites often require a longer walk to facilities but provide more isolation from other campers.
Clean facilities: Bathhouse cleanliness varies significantly between locations. At Spruce Run Recreation Area, "Stayed here 2 nights in May, Friday-Sunday. There were a decent amount of people on Friday, but significantly more on Saturday. Park employees and park police drive around through the day," notes Jules T. Most campgrounds feature regular bathroom cleaning schedules.
Waterfront camping: Sites along lakes or reservoirs are particularly popular. "My campsite was 34W, right next the reservoir. Nice location however the website said it was full shade. The picnic table was in shade. The spot for the RV was full sun," shares Frank J. about Spruce Run Recreation Area. Water sites typically book well in advance, especially during summer months.
What you should know
Bathroom facilities vary widely: Quality and cleanliness of bathroom facilities can differ significantly between campgrounds. At Quakerwoods Campground, you'll find "4 Pristine restroom & shower facilities," according to Stuart K. However, other locations may have less appealing options.
Site characteristics may not match descriptions: Many campers note discrepancies between online descriptions and actual conditions. "Our site was on the water and it was really nice. However, the website said it was full shade. The picnic table was in shade. The spot for the RV was full sun," reports Frank J. about his experience at Spruce Run.
Seasonal availability limitations: Most cabin camping options operate seasonally. Colonial Woods Family Resort runs from April through November, while others have shorter seasons. During peak summer months, reservations may be required weeks or months in advance, especially for holiday weekends and cabins.
Tips for camping with families
Look for campgrounds with scheduled activities: Many local campgrounds organize family-friendly events. At Boulder Woods Campground, "We had a great time. Enjoyed a nice long weekend out of the city. Clean amenities," notes Stephanie B. The campground offers various planned activities throughout the season.
Consider proximity to bathrooms: When camping with children, bathroom location matters. At Little Red Barn Campground, one visitor noted: "only one bathroom and it's very far from the primitive sites." Sites closer to facilities typically cost the same but offer greater convenience for families.
Check playground options: Multiple campgrounds in the area feature playgrounds for different age groups. At French Creek State Park Campground, "There is a very nice playground situated conveniently between the loops of the campground. It had some slides, a bridge, lots of monkey bars, ladders to climb on and the best feature was the zip line," according to one visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site access challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult navigation for larger RVs. At Colonial Woods Family Resort, one camper reported: "The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed (almost took my ac out with a huge limb)." Calling ahead to discuss specific RV dimensions can prevent issues.
Electric hookup locations: At Mountainview Campground, "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," reports Jen R. However, placement of electric hookups can sometimes require creative positioning of your RV, so extension cords are recommended.
Seasonal policies: Many campgrounds have restrictions on older RVs for seasonal rentals. At Boulder Woods, one visitor noted, "They only allow seasonal campers to be 10 years old or newer. Ours is 13. Very disappointed." Check age and condition requirements before planning extended stays.
