What a great place. So unique! Love the view, and a great experience! There are no hook ups, so be prepared but if you are looking for the dispersed camping experience you have found it. What a gem!

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 Schwenksville
Schwenksville, Pennsylvania offers campground options within the scenic 3,500-acre rolling hills of Montgomery County. Located at approximately 200 feet above sea level, this region experiences moderate seasonal temperatures with winter lows around 20°F and summer highs reaching 90°F. The wooded terrain provides natural shade at most campsites, with areas like Green Lane Park featuring waterfront access for recreation.
What to do
Disc golf courses: At Boulder Woods Campground, campers can enjoy an extensive disc golf course that draws enthusiasts. "They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," shares Erik W. The course is professional-grade and attracts tournament players.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds offer fishing access in stocked ponds and streams. At Green Lane Park, visitors can fish in the lake. Benjamin C. notes it has a "Phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing." Some areas require fishing licenses with additional trout endorsements.
Historical sites: The area contains significant Revolutionary War history and restored structures. Near Fort Washington State Park, visitors can explore historical buildings. According to a camper, "This very place lies in significance from the Revolutionary War when it housed troops led by then General George Washington on the way to Valley Forge."
What campers like
Private wooded sites: French Creek State Park Campground offers secluded camping spaces. Ellen C. explains, "The sites were very spacious, less rocky and left little option for a larger than normal sized tent so keep this in mind if you have a large family sized tent." Sites include paved pads for easier setup.
Multiple water recreation options: Lakes in the region support various water activities. Scotts Run Lake and Hopewell Lake at French Creek contain "several warm water fish in the lakes including northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish," according to Jen R., who adds, "Ice fishing is also allowed at both lakes and the ice thickness is monitored."
Affordable cabin options: For those seeking alternatives to tent camping, several parks offer cabins. At Nockamixon State Park, "The cabins are full electric with heat and are well appointed. It was an excellent fall trip location for a family with young children," reports John S., who found the value excellent for the price.
What you should know
Site conditions vary dramatically: Some campgrounds feature rocky terrain that limits tent placement. At Tohickon Family Campground, campers report mixed experiences with ground conditions. LU D. warns, "Don't come if your in a tent And It Has Been or will rain, It Becomes Flooded or turns into A mudPit."
Bathroom facilities range widely: Maintenance and quality differ between locations. Ra F. notes about Green Lane Park, "The park is lovely, but the camping facilities are subpar, primitive and lack any kind of privacy... Bathhouse OK, but just basic." Some campgrounds maintain cleaner facilities with hot water while others offer minimal amenities.
Proximity between sites: Privacy levels vary significantly. According to Jen's review of Deep Creek Campground, "The sites are lined up next to each other along the campground driveway and there are absolutely no trees or shrubs between them." Research site maps before booking if privacy is important.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas for children. At Quakerwoods Campground, Christine D. mentions, "The kids have been able to enjoy a hayride and the Halloween decor that some of the seasonal campers display. Last year, we also caught a very good band performing in the campground."
Swimming options: Several parks maintain swimming facilities during summer months. Boulder Woods offers "Adult & kid swimming pools" among its amenities, making it suitable for families with children of different ages looking for water recreation beyond lakes and streams.
Nature exploration opportunities: Children can explore aquatic wildlife in safe environments. Christine D. shares that at Quakerwoods, "Just behind the campground is a pond that the kids love to visit and explore for fish, frogs and turtles." These natural features provide educational opportunities.
Tips from RVers
Site assistance: Some campgrounds help with difficult parking situations. At Boulder Woods, Erik W. notes, "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."
Seasonal restrictions: For pet friendly camping near Schwenksville, Pennsylvania, note that some loops only permit pets. At French Creek, Jen R. explains, "We have never stayed in Loop C before. This is the only loop that allows pets. I expected it to be much noisier than it was. All of the dogs were well behaved."
Year-round availability: Some parks remain open through winter. At Village Scene Park, visitors can find accommodation during off-season periods. One review mentions, "We've stayed here a couple times in past. Have family in the area. Grew up in this area so very comfortable and easy access to lots of places! This visit we stayed six months may to October."
