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!

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!

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.

RangerTohickon Family Campground
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.
Guide to Sellersville
Camping opportunities near Sellersville, Pennsylvania sit in the rolling hills of Bucks and Montgomery counties, with elevations ranging from 200-600 feet above sea level. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging in the mid-80s°F and winter lows frequently dropping below freezing. Most campgrounds in this region operate seasonally from April through October due to Pennsylvania's northeastern climate patterns that bring heavy rainfall in spring and occasional snow by November.
What to do
Disc golf courses: Boulder Woods Campground features an extensive disc golf course that attracts enthusiasts from across 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 visitor Erik W. The course winds through wooded terrain, making it challenging even for experienced players.
Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer fishing ponds or lake access. At Colonial Woods Family Resort, "the lake where you could fish" is one of many amenities available to campers according to Nicole S., who visited with her family. Many local water bodies are stocked with bass, panfish, and other species.
Hiking trails: Nockamixon State Park Cabins offers numerous trail options for all skill levels. "Trails are nice, although not as well-marked as some other places we've been," mentions Andrew G., who planned a winter cabin trip. The park's mixed hardwood forests provide habitat for diverse wildlife and seasonal wildflowers.
Visit Ringing Rocks Park: Located near several campgrounds, this unique geological formation lets visitors create musical sounds by striking certain rocks with a hammer. "Bring a hammer," advises Gregg G., who enjoyed the unusual attraction. The boulder field covers approximately 7 acres and contains rocks that ring like bells when struck.
What campers like
Private tent sites: Little Red Barn Campground offers secluded tent camping areas separate from RV sections. "Primitive sites are very private, friendly staff, clean grounds," reports Kelsey K., who initially booked a water/electric site but switched after arrival. These sites are located across a small creek on the southwestern edge of the property.
Year-round options: French Creek State Park Campground remains open through winter months, unlike most area facilities. "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great!" shared Galit P. The park's all-season operation makes it valuable for pet-friendly camping near Sellersville during off-peak times.
Clean facilities: Lake Towhee County Park maintains well-kept bathrooms and shower facilities. "Great place to camp if it's your first time, clean restrooms, nice sites, showers, and cellphone service," notes Jhonbel D. The park's smaller size (only 13 sites) contributes to its quieter atmosphere.
Seasonal activities: Many local campgrounds organize special weekend events throughout their operating season. "We went on Halloween weekend and they had so much for the kids to do! Friendly staff and clean sites!" Shannon C. wrote about her experience at Ringing Rocks Family Campground. These planned activities typically include crafts, games, and themed celebrations.
What you should know
Tent site conditions: Some campgrounds have issues with drainage during rainy periods. "We had a great Halloween weekend but we were down by creek so it was very muddy," reports Shannon C. about Tohickon Family Campground. Consider requesting higher ground sites if rain is in the forecast.
Seasonal operation: Most facilities close completely during winter months. Colonial Woods Family Resort operates from "Apr 4 - Nov 1" according to their listing information, typical of non-state park campgrounds in the region that cannot support winter camping infrastructure.
Bathroom accessibility: At some locations, primitive tent sites are far from facilities. "Only one bathroom and it's very far from the primitive sites," notes Kelsey K. about Little Red Barn Campground, an important consideration for families with children or those needing frequent access.
Highway noise: Boulder Woods Campground experiences some traffic sound from the nearby Pennsylvania Turnpike. "Nice place, a bit to close to the highways," mentions Joe B. in his review. The wooded setting helps buffer much of the noise, but light sleepers should consider sites deeper in the campground.
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas for children of various ages. "They have a lot to do for kids," notes Shannon C. about Boulder Woods, while Colonial Woods offers "a playground, lake where you could fish, cornhole, and minigolf" according to Nicole S.
Water activities: Colonial Woods Family Resort features both a main pool and children's splash area. "The pool and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times," reports Nicole S., who visited with her family. Most pools operate from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Special weekend programming: Tohickon Family Campground organizes family-friendly events throughout their April to October season. "We went with friends for a weekend. Both families have little kids and it was a great spot with a playground, construction digging area, and a bunch of activities for the kids to do," shares Jessica V. Check campground calendars when booking to align with themed weekends.
Site selection for children: Request sites close to amenities when traveling with young children. "If you don't want to hang around the campground there are two lakes, Scotts Run Lake and Hopewell Lake that you can fish at, kayak, canoe or just relax by," notes one visitor to French Creek State Park, highlighting the importance of access to activities.
Tips from RVers
Site accessibility: Some campgrounds have challenging access roads for larger vehicles. Colonial Woods "is not the place for you if you have a fifth wheel. 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)," warns Brian C., who otherwise enjoyed his stay.
Hookup availability: French Creek State Park Campground offers various site types with different amenities. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," notes Jen R., who appreciated the well-designed spaces. Electric sites with 50-amp service are available in specific loops.
Dump station logistics: Colonial Woods has limitations with their waste disposal facility. "Dump station location isn't ideal on a busy morning. I heard they might work on a second dump location and was told to ask if it's ok to stick around until it dies down if our site isn't needed soon," shares Nathan R., providing important information for self-contained RVs planning multi-day stays.
Site privacy: RV sites at different campgrounds offer varying levels of seclusion. "Sites are very close together. Site numbers are on the back of the sites, very hard to see from the road," mentions Kim B. about Colonial Woods. This contrasts with French Creek State Park where "there is a lot of shade and the campground is laid out well."
