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.

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.

First time at this campground really like it a lot will be returning. The bathrooms are always clean. The grounds are always kept up. Just a really nice place to stay. Most of the sites have some kind of shade.
Guide to Rockledge
The Pine Barrens region surrounding Rockledge, Pennsylvania features unique acidic soil conditions that support distinctive plant communities not found elsewhere in the region. Located approximately 30-45 minutes from the New Jersey Pine Barrens, this area maintains moderate temperatures through summer months with average highs around 85°F. Camping options within an hour's drive of Rockledge include several state parks and private campgrounds with varying levels of amenities and access to natural attractions.
What to do
Disc golf courses: Boulder Woods Campground has an extensive disc golf course that draws enthusiasts from throughout the region. "They sell disc golf things in the store as well. This course is huge and brings in groups who play for the day," notes one camper at Boulder Woods Campground. The nearby Green Lane Park also offers "a phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing" according to visitors.
Kayaking and canoeing: French Creek State Park provides water recreation opportunities at two lakes. "We did take our inflatable kayak out on the water, and it was lovely! There is also a nice picnic area with grills and picnic tables right by the boat landing, where we picnicked and hung out for an afternoon," writes a camper at French Creek State Park Campground.
Creek exploration: Tohickon Valley County Park features unique waterside activities for adventurous campers. "Lots of manageable trails along the cliffs" and "when scheduled they open the dam up stream for some world class whitewater rafting," mentions one visitor to Tohickon Valley County Park. The park's creek trails offer opportunities for nature observation away from crowds.
What campers like
Secluded campsites: French Creek State Park stands out for offering more privacy than many Philadelphia-area campgrounds. "There is a lot of shade and the campground is laid out well. There are three separate loops to camp at, Loop C is the only loop that allows pets," writes a reviewer. "As long as you don't stay right across from the bath houses you will find ample shade at your site. There are so many trees and brush in between most sites you can't even really see your neighbors."
Wildlife observation: Evansburg State Park offers opportunities to spot native wildlife while hiking and fishing. One visitor to Evansburg State Park Campground mentioned catching "a beautiful Brown Trout here a few weeks ago!" The park's creek-side trails through forested areas provide habitat for various animals.
Off-season tranquility: Brendan Byrne State Forest offers year-round camping with distinct advantages in cooler months. "I grew up at this camp ground. Spent every summer here. Some of my favorite things about this place are 1) it's far away from traffic noise. You can't hear any cars or any other noise from civilization at all," explains one visitor to the forest. Another mentions it being "nice in the fall" with "pretty foliage."
What you should know
Mud conditions: Several campgrounds near Rockledge struggle with drainage after rainfall. At Tohickon Family Campground, visitors note: "We had a great Halloween weekend but we were down by creek so it was very muddy." Similarly, at Tohickon Valley County Park, campers should prepare for potentially muddy conditions, especially at sites near water.
Site privacy varies: Green Lane Park offers convenient camping but minimal privacy 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," notes one local visitor. When seeking glamping close to Rockledge, Pennsylvania, privacy may be an important consideration.
Alcohol restrictions: Many state parks prohibit alcohol on premises. For instance, at Brendan Byrne State Forest, campers should know that rangers regularly patrol sites. "They do patrol the sites with a police presence in the evening," reports one visitor, so plan accordingly for any glamping experience near Rockledge.
Tips for camping with families
Water activities: Atsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest offers excellent waterfront options for children about 45 minutes from Rockledge. "LOVE!!!! I always get site #8 and it has an amazing view of the lake. While camping at Atsion family campground, you have free access to the recreation center (the beach and some trails)," shares a regular visitor.
Playground access: Boulder Woods provides multiple facilities for children. "This is a great campground. Bill and Kate are friendly and helpful. They have so much to do for kids!!" reports one family. Another visitor mentions, "The general store had everything plus, and very reasonably priced."
Designated family camping areas: Washington Crossing State Park offers group camping ideal for larger family gatherings. "The camp ground is secluded and right on the Delaware River," notes a visitor. While temporarily closed for 2024, this historic area typically provides access to natural and educational opportunities for children.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: At Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA, RVers recommend choosing sites away from the entrance. "The park is better looking toward the back but the sites are kind of crowded together and bare," explains one RVer. For those seeking luxury glamping near Rockledge, Pennsylvania, the KOA offers amenities like full hookups and staff assistance.
Level parking pads: French Creek State Park receives praise for its accessibility. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," notes a reviewer. This feature makes it particularly suitable for larger recreational vehicles and glamping setups.
Weather planning: Tohickon Family Campground visitors recommend checking recent weather conditions before arrival. "Don't come if you're in a tent and it has been or will rain, it becomes flooded or turns into a mud pit," advises one camper. RVers have better experiences at this location due to the elevation of camping pads above potential water accumulation.
