Cabin camping options abound near Red Hill, Pennsylvania, situated among the rolling hills of Montgomery County at approximately 400 feet elevation. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer highs around 85°F and winter lows frequently below freezing. Most cabin rentals remain available year-round, though amenities vary significantly during winter months when water systems may be winterized at certain facilities.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Green Lane Park offers catch-and-release fishing in several ponds. "There is a pond for fishing however we didn't have any luck. It had a lot of pond scum and there were a lot of duck families around," notes one visitor to Robin Hill Campground.
Miniature golf: Available at multiple locations, typically included with stay. A reviewer at Spring Gulch Resort Campground mentioned: "Mini golf was fun but need to be regreened….several holes needed maintenance."
Disc golf course: Available within 30 minutes of Red Hill. "Phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing," states a visitor to Green Lane Park.
Mountain biking: For more adventurous visitors during non-winter months. "If you choose adventure this is the place for you, ride the ski lifts up to the top of the mountain then you get to bike down it, they have rental bikes available or bring your own," explains a camper at Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort.
What campers like
Heated pools: Several parks maintain pools with extended seasons. "The pool was very nice and refreshing. I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end," writes a visitor about Robin Hill Campground.
Live entertainment: Weekend performances common during peak season. "They had a live band one evening. Activities though the day were fun," reports a camper at Spring Gulch Resort Campground.
Rural setting: Some parks offer pastoral surroundings. According to a visitor at Pine Hill RV Park: "It is set in a rural area surrounded by fields and pastures which makes for a peaceful setting."
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness frequently mentioned in reviews. "Shower / bathrooms are the best I've ever seen," notes a reviewer at Stonybrook RV Resort.
What you should know
Seasonal occupancy: Many sites occupied by long-term residents. "The sites are nice but 90% of the people here are full time," notes one visitor about Sun Valley Campground.
Site conditions: Terrain varies significantly across parks. At Stonybrook RV Resort, one visitor appreciated that "Our site(F20) is level and beautiful— spacious and beautifully landscaped."
Limited privacy: Some campgrounds offer minimal separation between sites. "The sites are lined up next to each other along the campground driveway and there are absolutely no trees or shrubs between them," warns a local reviewing Green Lane Park.
Weekend availability challenges: Advance booking essential during peak periods. "Campground is as basic as they get. Sites are close to each other with absolutely no privacy. Almost all 30 sites were filled Saturday night," reports a camper at Green Lane Park.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Check playground condition before booking. "There is an outdoor pool which is open seasonally, an arcade, a playground for children, and a catch and release lake for fishing," describes a visitor to Robin Hill Campground.
Scheduled activities: Weekend programming typically most robust. At Appalachian Camping Resort, "The campground had numerous activities set up all throughout the day and there was something for everyone. I find that a lot of campground activities tend to be centered around small children and with my kids being 13 and 12, they're usually left out of the fun."
Kid-friendly amenities: Pools often have designated children's areas. "Fun activities for kids and adults," confirms a visitor to Spring Gulch Resort Campground.
Animal encounters: Some parks feature small farm animals. As one camper at Lake-In-Wood Campground mentions: "Goats to pet and watch. There are a lot of really neat and different rentals here like a tree house, double decker bus, among others."
Tips from RVers
Level site selection: Request specific areas if levelness matters. "Very very level site," notes a visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort.
Storm preparedness: Area prone to heavy summer thunderstorms. "A storm came through that was so bad I was worried a tree would fall on a trailer," warns a camper at Lake-In-Wood Campground.
Entrance challenges: Some parks have difficult access points. At Stonybrook RV Resort: "The entrance made for a challenging entry up a steep grade, narrow roadway, and sharp turn in. I made it without problems, but it wasn't easy in a 45' motorhome towing a Jeep."
Road noise: Proximity to highways affects some locations. "The only real downside of this park was the price ($58/night for 50 amp full-hookup) and a bit of road noise from the interstate and the wifi was really poor," reports a camper at Pine Hill RV Park.
