What to do
Disc golf courses: Several campgrounds feature disc golf, with Boulder Woods Campground offering a particularly extensive course. "The camp ground has a very large golf disc course and they seem to have tournaments. They sell disc golf things in the store as well," notes one visitor. First-timers can rent equipment directly at some locations.
Fishing opportunities: Stocked lakes are accessible at multiple parks near Richboro. "Great place for family fishing and paddle boarding," remarks a visitor to Nockamixon State Park. Multiple species are available including "northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish."
Ringing Rocks Park: Located near several campgrounds, this unique geological formation allows visitors to create musical sounds with hammers. "Lovely trails and the rocks are something else," notes one camper who recommends bringing a hammer to experience this unusual natural phenomenon firsthand.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Many cabins offer secluded settings. At Tohickon Valley County Park, "the sites are a decent distance from each other. It was nice and quiet," according to one visitor. Another notes the campground has "big, private, and scenic campsites" that are "set back into the trees."
Cabin accessibility: Some cabins are particularly well-positioned for activities. "I liked being below the pool where our kids could fish in the pond and easy access to the pool," shares a visitor to Colonial Woods Family Resort. The location of certain cabins can significantly enhance convenience for families with children.
Seasonal wildlife viewing: Cabins provide excellent opportunities to hear and see local fauna. At Mountainview Campground, one visitor reported an exceptional experience: "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!"
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabins must be booked well in advance, especially for weekend stays during peak season. French Creek State Park Campground offers online booking that campers find "very easy to use" with a phone number available for assistance booking at any state park.
Cabin conditions and maintenance: Quality varies significantly between locations and price points. "The showers had nice hot water. It was cleaned often throughout the weekend, however it is definitely in need of an update," notes one camper about facilities at French Creek State Park.
Pet policies: Rules regarding pets differ not just between parks but between cabin types within the same park. At Nockamixon, "they are limited in number and Hill's Creek had no such cabins," reports a visitor who traveled with a dog. Always verify pet policies before booking.
Winter availability: Some cabins remain open all year. French Creek State Park maintains year-round availability, with one winter visitor reporting: "Showers and bathrooms were great! If you're traveling through, there are many places to eat nearby."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Mountainview Campground provides dedicated play areas for children. "A playground for kids," mentions one review, making it ideal for families with younger children who need recreational options close to their cabin.
Seasonal activities: Many campgrounds organize special events for families. Colonial Woods Family Resort offers "nice arts and crafts for the kids to do for dad" during Father's Day weekend, and "did a few activities the one we did go to was the casino night where they had separate play areas for kids and adults."
Cabin sizing for groups: When traveling with extended family, request specific dimensions. "We had a group site which was perfect for 6 campers," notes one visitor about Colonial Woods. Some cabins can comfortably accommodate multiple families while others are designed for smaller groups.
Tips from RVers
Full hookup availability: For those traveling with RVs and seeking cabins for additional guests, Village Scene Park offers "Full-hookup RV sites with 30/50 amp, water, and sewer" near cabin accommodations, allowing mixed camping arrangements for larger groups.
Site dimensions: When pulling RVs alongside cabin accommodations, be aware of space limitations. At Colonial Woods, "the roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed," cautions one camper with a fifth wheel.
Off-season benefits: Consider visiting cabin campgrounds during shoulder seasons for more availability and privacy. "We were here at the end of September and there were only a few other campers," notes one Tohickon Valley visitor, highlighting the advantages of avoiding peak periods.
