French Creek State Park Campground accommodates pets at designated sites within its 843-acre property near Elverson, allowing campers to bring dogs while enjoying full hookup options for RVs or tent camping. The pet-friendly camping area features fire rings, picnic tables, and access to both electric and water connections. Nearby Evansburg State Park Campground maintains similar pet policies with clean facilities and diverse recreation options for dog owners. Campsites at both parks require pets to remain leashed at all times, with designated areas for walking dogs away from water sources and playground zones. Boulder Woods Campground and Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park round out the pet-friendly options within 30 minutes of Royersford, each permitting pets with standard leash requirements. Most campgrounds near Royersford enforce a two-pet maximum per site and require proof of current vaccinations.
The hiking trails throughout these parks provide excellent exercise opportunities for dogs, with several campground reviews noting the quality of creek access points that dogs particularly enjoy. Evansburg State Park offers moderate trails running alongside a small creek, though visitors should be prepared for muddy conditions that often necessitate bathing dogs after hikes. Careful tick checking is essential as numerous reviews mention finding ticks on both people and pets after exploring the trails. French Creek's extensive trail network connects directly to many campsites, making it convenient for morning and evening dog walks. When temperatures rise during summer months, early morning or evening hiking is recommended to protect paws from hot ground surfaces. The Green Lane Park camping area lacks privacy between sites but provides good access to hiking paths and fishing areas where leashed dogs can join their owners.

LegendWashington Crossing State Park - TEMP CLOSED FOR 2024
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!

Lowe's - W Windsor
Upscale Parking Paradise at This Home Fixer-Upper
Located just off US Route 1 in the upscale Princeton area, this spacious Lowe's serves up a surprisingly pleasant patch of pavement for weary road warriors looking to catch some shut-eye. Set back roughly 80 yards from the highway, this big blue home improvement retailer offers a generously sized parking lot with relatively manageable traffic, good maneuverability and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect from such a busy suburban retail corridor. The western and southern edges of the lot are particularly appealing for an overnight stay, and with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several other retailers nearby, convenience certainly isn't in short supply. Better yet, the store management was friendly and accommodating when we called ahead to arrange our overnight visit.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spacious, paved parking lot with plenty of room to maneuver larger rigs; (2) Convenient access to US Route 1 and nearby I-95; (3) Western and southern parking areas offer quieter spots away from the busiest customer traffic; (4) Excellent nearby conveniences, including Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several dining options; and (5) Friendly store management that welcomed our overnight stay, plus surprisingly good opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) Some daytime retail traffic and occasional road noise, although nothing terribly disruptive; (2) No RV hookups, dump station or dedicated overnight camping facilities; (3) Parking areas closest to the store can become crowded during business hours; (4) Limited greenery and little of the scenery you'd expect from a traditional campground; and (5) While the overnight experience was excellent, this is still a commercial parking lot rather than a destination for an extended stay.
Happy Overnighting!

TravelerCountry Acres Campground
Lovely campground!
Country Acres is a lovely, well maintained campground. Sites are level and bath house facilities clean and modern. Friendly staff in the office. Dog friendly. Local to all the Lancaster attractions. A complimentary farmland tour is offered by bus and it was great. They take you out into an area of Amish farms and shops and make a stop at 2 of these. The fresh Amish pretzels are amazing!

The best views
This is a hidden gem, as close to dispersed camping you can get with dirt, gravel roads, large stone fire pits, a amazing views with the added benefit of a five gallon jug of non potable water and very clean port-a-potties. The owner regularly patrols the site and makes sure everything is okay.
Maria Mercedes M.LegendRound Valley State Park Campground
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!

Old Mill Stream Campground
Never Again
The advertisements for Olde Mill Campground were disingenuous. The campsite was 20 yards from a roller coaster. The NOISE of the roller coaster and children on it screaming was as relentless and unnerving as any train we have ever slept near. There was no quiet until almost midnight. The “pull-through” site left my truck almost in the road and our 25’ Airstream slightly over the road on the backside. The site was not level. The sites were close enough to hear a neighbor’s snoring.
Adam and Suzanne B.GuideBeacon Hill Camping
Great location
We stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.
Guide to Royersford
Boulder Woods Campground features full hookups for RVs with 30/50 amp electrical connections and accommodates tent campers across more than 170 sites near Green Lane. The campground maintains water and sewer hookups at designated locations while enforcing standard pet policies. Most sites include fire rings, picnic tables, and access to trash disposal. The campground's disc golf course attracts visitors year-round with equipment available for rent at the camp store. Nearby Lake-In-Wood Campground offers diverse accommodation options including cabins, yurts, and RV sites with similar pet policies but adds unique themed lodging experiences not found at other facilities in the region.
What to do
Disc golf adventures: Boulder Woods Campground offers an extensive disc golf course that draws enthusiasts from throughout the region. "They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," notes Erik W., who stayed at Boulder Woods Campground. The course winds through wooded areas and is suitable for both beginners and experienced players.
Fishing opportunities: Several parks near Royersford offer fishing in stocked ponds and natural waterways. At Hibernia County Park, "The children's pond is a short ways away for well stocked fishing," according to Anna. For more experienced anglers, French Creek State Park provides diverse fishing environments. "There are several warm water fish in the lakes including northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish," reports Ellen C. from her stay at French Creek State Park Campground.
Creek exploration: Many campgrounds feature accessible creek areas that are particularly popular during warmer months. Meg F. at Evansburg State Park Campground reports, "Great place to creek hike, nice for horses, we did get a lot of ticks, but not deer ticks, thankfully." Creek areas provide cooling relief during summer heat while offering natural exploration opportunities.
What campers like
Site privacy: Campers consistently mention site layout and privacy as key factors in their camping experience. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," notes Jen R. about her experience at French Creek State Park. Similarly, at Quakerwoods Campground, Stuart K. appreciates that "The tent spots are across the other side of a small creek on the southwestern periphery near the fishing pond," offering separation from RV areas.
Convenience to urban areas: The pet friendly campgrounds near Royersford balance natural settings with proximity to urban conveniences. Stuart K. notes that Village Scene Park offers "Convenient suburban location near Philadelphia yet surprisingly quiet." This makes these locations ideal for weekend getaways without extensive travel time. Quakerwoods Campground similarly provides easy access, with Joe B. noting it's "Nice place, a bit to close to the highways" - which some find beneficial for quick access.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathroom facilities rank high in camper preferences. Cheryl K. observed at Lake-In-Wood Campground that there are "two large showers as well with very warm water," while Tiffany B. noted that at Deep Creek Campground, "Bathrooms however are nice and clean with plenty of them around the park." This consistent attention to cleanliness enhances the overall camping experience, especially for families and those camping with pets.
What you should know
Site variations and terrain: Campground terrain varies significantly across the Royersford area. At Hibernia County Park, Jennifer S. advises that sites "aren't level, but nothing a little creative positioning can't fix." Similarly, at French Creek, Katie M. notes "it was kind of hard to find a level and rock-free spot large enough for our tent, but we managed!"
Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds operate seasonally or have limited availability during winter months. Galit P. mentions French Creek offers year-round access: "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great!" However, Hibernia County Park operates more limited schedules with Jennifer S. noting "This campground is only open on the weekends, in season."
Reservation requirements: Reservation policies vary significantly between campgrounds. Stuart K. recommends for Boulder Woods Campground to "certainly call ahead to ensure that there's adequate 'room at the inn'." Meanwhile, Hibernia County Park has different requirements: "Sites can be reserved on line, by phone, or by 'first come, first served' self-registration," according to Jennifer S.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Multiple dog friendly campgrounds near Royersford feature playground facilities that provide entertainment for children. Jen R. observed at French Creek that there's a "Very nice playground area and clean," adding that the park includes "at least two playgrounds (perfect for our kids)." These designated play areas offer supervised recreation options for families with children of various ages.
Off-site activities: The region surrounding Royersford provides numerous family-oriented destinations within short driving distances. Stuart K. recommends from his stay at Fort Washington State Park Campground, "Should you need to let the kids unwind for a bit to run around and explore, I would suggest a trip over to Legoland Discovery Center, which will let you and the kids build with the famous toy bricks to your heart's content."
Budget considerations: Camping costs vary significantly between private and public campgrounds in the area. Anna notes Hibernia County Park offers excellent value: "Super great price at $15/night as well," while private campgrounds typically charge $45-60 per night for similar accommodations. Families on tight budgets might consider county parks for significant savings while still accessing similar natural features.
Tips from RVers
Site navigation challenges: Several campgrounds present challenges for larger RVs due to tight roads and entrance layouts. Erik W. notes at Boulder Woods Campground: "The spots are tight to get into but the staff will offer to park your camper using your vehicle. I let them park mine and I'm really glad I did. It was super tight." RVers with larger units should call ahead to confirm accessibility.
Hookup variations: Electrical service varies between campgrounds with implications for air conditioning use during summer months. At Village Scene Park, Stuart K. observes all sites offer "30 / 50 electrical amp on all sites" with "public water and sewer hook-ups" available, making it suitable for extended stays. Conversely, Jennifer S. cautions about Hibernia County Park: "There are NO HOOKUPS, and water is not easy to come by if you are in an RV. If you are coming in an RV, you should come with a full water tank."
Dump station access: Not all campgrounds provide on-site dump stations, requiring planning for longer stays. Jennifer S. warns: "There is NO DUMP STATION" at Hibernia County Park, advising that "There are a few nearby campgrounds that will let you dump for a fee, otherwise, you'll have to look for a truck stop on the way home." RVers planning extended stays should verify sanitation options before arrival.
