Revolutionary History near Delaware River
Nestled along the picturesque Delaware River in beautiful Bucks County, Washington Crossing Historic Park is one of those destinations where American history practically jumps out from behind every tree. This sprawling, beautifully preserved historic park commemorates George Washington's daring Christmas night crossing of the Delaware in 1776, with charming colonial buildings, expansive green spaces, shaded walking paths and lovely riverfront scenery. Divided into Upper and Lower sections, the park offers plenty to explore, from historic homesteads and interpretive exhibits to scenic picnic areas and the impressive Bowman's Hill Tower. Unfortunately, while the park delivers a wonderful outdoor experience, traditional overnight camping isn't part of the equation unless your a Boy Scout or accompanying one of their troops.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spectacular Revolutionary War history at the very site of Washington's legendary Delaware River crossing; (2) Beautifully maintained grounds featuring mature trees, open lawns and scenic riverfront views; (3) Fascinating colonial-era buildings, historic demonstrations and educational exhibits that bring America's founding history to life; (4) Wonderful recreational opportunities, including walking, cycling, fishing, kayaking and picnicking; and (5) Convenient proximity to charming New Hope, the Delaware Canal towpath and Bowman's Hill Tower, offering plenty of opportunities to extend your adventure.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) No conventional public tent or RV camping, with overnight group camping restricted to organized Scout groups by prior arrangement; (2) No dedicated RV campsites, electrical hookups, water connections or dump station; (3) Park grounds generally close at sunset, limiting opportunities to linger into the evening; (4) Some historic buildings and attractions require admission fees or operate on limited schedules; and (5) Periodic restoration projects and special events can restrict access to certain areas, while the historic Washington Crossing Bridge's three-ton weight limit makes it unsuitable for larger RVs.
Happy Camping!

Peaceful Wilderness Escape for Adventurous Families
There's something wonderfully special about escaping into nature where the only sounds are rustling leaves, birds singing and the gentle movement of water along the shoreline. Nestled among the wooded hills surrounding the beautiful Round Valley Reservoir, this rustic SP campground offers families a chance to disconnect from everyday distractions and enjoy a little wilderness adventure together. Unlike traditional campgrounds, the campsites are accessible only by hiking or boating, so getting anywhere here requires some planning and a willingness to travel light. Once you've arrived, you'll find secluded, wooded campsites with picnic tables, fire rings and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Amenities are basic, with pit toilets and no showers, but the beautiful reservoir, scenic hiking trails, fishing and kayaking opportunities more than make up for the lack of modern conveniences. Our kids loved exploring the woods, spotting wildlife and gathering around a crackling campfire at night to share stories beneath the stars. For families comfortable with the hike, I'd recommend choosing one of the campsites along the reservoir shoreline for the lovely water views and peaceful surroundings. Just remember that swimming is limited to the park's designated beach area. Round Valley isn't your typical family campground, but for adventurous families who enjoy hiking, camping under the stars and making wonderful memories together, it's a beautiful place to experience nature at its finest!

Pine Barrens New Jersey
This campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.

Simple, peaceful FHU
We stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.

Beautiful campground, loud campers
Beautiful campground but made the mistake of going on a holiday weekend, the campgrounds next to us were screaming and blasting music all day and throughout the night so we ended up leaving early. A beautiful campground when there aren’t noisy capers ruining it.
Kelvin R.ScoutTohickon Valley County Park
First time camping
As far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.
Tabatta C.ScoutVoorhees State Park Campground
Clean and well maintained!
I spent 4 days and 3 nights with my 6th grade Girl Scouts. We were at sites 23 and 24 which worked out great because they back up against each other. The bathrooms were super clean and well maintained. There are outlets at the bathroom building by the sink to charge any electronics. The playground is adequate and the field is big for playing. There are many things to do close by too like the observatory, Round Valley beach, Grounds for Art, etc. We all really enjoyed ourselves and plan on returning.
Guide to Richboro
Situated in Bucks County about 18 miles north of Philadelphia, Richboro's camping options include public parks and private campgrounds scattered across rolling woodland terrain. Most camping locations sit between 200-400 feet in elevation, with the area experiencing moderate rainfall even during summer months. Several campgrounds within a 30-mile radius offer yurt accommodations for those seeking a blend of comfort and outdoor experience.
What to do
Kayaking Skippack Creek: At Evansburg State Park Campground, visitors can paddle the small waterways that wind through wooded areas. "I've spent countless hours hiking and fishing in Evansburg. In the weeks of lockdown during Covid 19, Evansburg has been a go to for my 5 year old son and I," reports Andrew C., who recommends bringing extra shoes since it "tends to be the muddiest state park I've ever experienced."
Disc golf course: The 18-hole course at Boulder Woods Campground attracts serious players and beginners alike. Equipment rentals available at the camp store. "They sell disc golf things in the store as well. This course is huge and brings in groups who play for the day," notes Karralee B.
Historic reenactments: Washington Crossing State Park hosts regular historical events throughout the year. "Every year, they re-enact Washington's troops crossing the Delaware! It was VERY cold the year I went. To warm up, there is a small visitor's center where they have a reproduction of the famous painting commemorating the moment," writes David S.
What campers like
Private campsites: French Creek State Park Campground offers secluded spots with natural barriers. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other. Bathrooms were very nice and clean with large showers. Nice area to wash dishes," says Jen R. The campground features two lakes for fishing and hiking trails connecting directly to sites.
Family-oriented activities: Colonial Woods Family Resort organizes regular events for all ages. "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," reports Michelle D., while Shannon C. adds, "They had nice arts and crafts for the kids to do for dad" during Father's Day weekend.
Yurt accommodations: Tohickon Valley County Park offers yurt camping near Richboro with comfort amenities not found in standard tent sites. "One stop shop for adventure! Everything you could want, from tent and RV camping to cabin rentals. They also have a pool and playground," writes Brett C. The park's yurts provide a solid option for those wanting to try glamping without traveling far from Richboro.
What you should know
Limited facilities at some locations: Round Valley State Park Campground offers wilderness camping requiring preparation. "There is a pump for potable water and vault/pit toilets. Trails are well-kept. Definitely a great place to start with getting into backpacking and enjoying nature," explains Agbi B., who adds that sites can only be accessed by "paddle or hike in camping."
Quiet hours enforcement varies: Rules differ between parks, especially regarding noise levels. "Strict rules so that nature lovers can enjoy the outdoors without worrying about noisy neighbors or trash everywhere. Not a place you go to if you want to throw a rowdy party," notes Christina H. about Mountainview Campground.
Seasonal operation: Most yurt camping near Richboro operates between April and October, with limited winter availability. "We just bought a small tear drop trailer and have begun taking it on weekend excursions. We took it to Mountain View this weekend, with a little trepidation on how we were going to get the trailer backed into the space. Not to worry, they gave us a nice drive through space," shares Robert J., who visited during regular season.
Tips for camping with families
Playground options: Ringing Rocks Family Campground offers multiple play areas for children. "We went on Halloween weekend and they had so much for the kids to do! Friendly staff and clean sites!" reports Shannon C. The campground organizes seasonal activities including hayrides and special events.
Swimming access: Many campgrounds offer swimming during summer months. "The pool and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times. The posted pool hours were not as described they don't really tell you but it was open a little later," notes Nicole S., adding that the campground also features "a playground, lake where you could fish, cornhole, and minigolf."
Educational opportunities: Several parks offer nature programs specifically designed for children. "We did a few activities the one we did go to was the casino night where they had separate play areas for kids and adults. All the money made is donated to Shriners Children's Hospital which is awesome and the kids loved the candy and little prizes they won," shares Nicole S.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling considerations: Most parks have some level of site preparation, but preparation varies. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze," reports Jen R. about French Creek State Park, but adds that tent campers might find "it was kind of hard to find a level and rock-free spot large enough for our tent."
Access challenges: Roads within some campgrounds can present navigation difficulties. "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). Now if you're not big rig camping like we do, this place is great for you," warns Brian C. about Colonial Woods.
Electric options: Hookup availability varies significantly between parks. "We were in the D loop which is rustic with no hookups. Quiet, very few people mid-week. Spacious sites," notes Cheryl K. about French Creek State Park, while other campgrounds offer full hookups with 30-amp and 50-amp service for larger rigs.
