Several RV parks near Skippack provide full hookup options for travelers. Village Scene Park in Hatfield offers year-round RV sites with 30/50 amp electrical, water, and sewer connections. The park features narrow sites situated within a residential community setting. Sun Valley Campground in Narvon accommodates larger rigs with 50 amp service and sewer hookups, operating seasonally from April through November. Spring Gulch Resort Campground in New Holland provides big-rig friendly pull-through sites with complete hookups, including 50 amp electrical service. Sites throughout the region vary considerably in size and privacy. "The RV spots seem nice and large. The bathrooms were nice and clean, showers were nice," noted one visitor about Boulder Woods Campground.
Access routes to most parks involve navigating suburban roads rather than remote terrain. Many facilities offer amenities specifically for RV travelers, including sanitary dump stations, though some charge additional fees. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region, with most parks located near retail centers and restaurants. Pet policies vary between locations, with most allowing pets but enforcing leash requirements. Winter camping options are limited, as several parks close between November and March. According to one visitor, "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!" Travelers requiring propane service should call ahead, as on-site refill stations are not universal at all parks.
"There was a craft show in the barn which was nice. Only two dump stations for a pretty large park. We would camp here again but not over a holiday."
"The campsites available are primitive or have water and electric and bathhouses / restrooms are located in a few spots around the park. Fire rings are at each site, but appear to get moved a lot."
"Well wooded campground with friendly staff and guests. The only minor complaint is that the camp store was sparsely supplied. B+ little gem of a campground."
"Showed up on Wednesday, and was assigned a spot in loop 700 up on a hill in the center of a ring of trailers, past a lot of full-timers. Cable does not work. No internet. 2 bars LTE on T-Mobile."
"It's too bad it is mainly seasonal sites back there. This campground is called Robin HILL for a reason. You will get you exercise walking to the pond, pool, capstone or basketball courts."
"Although they do have sites for tents, this seems to be better suited for RVers and renting cabins. Many of the people we met during our stay are regulars."
"The two ladies had a greater handle on the operations of the very nice facility."

Easy access to Lancaster and Pennsylvania Dutch areas. Friendly, welcoming staff and plenty of colorful trees in the autumn. The only RV park in the area that is open year round.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Camping facilities near Skippack, Pennsylvania primarily serve a suburban demographic located in Montgomery County, approximately 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Most campgrounds operate between April and November, with limited options during winter months. Deep Creek Campground remains one of the few parks offering tent camping in the immediate vicinity, while most other facilities cater specifically to RVers.
Disc golf courses: Green Lane Park offers an excellent disc golf course along with hiking and fishing opportunities. "Phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing," notes one visitor to Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park.
Mountain biking: Blue Mountain offers recreational biking on converted ski slopes during summer months. "Ride the ski lifts up to the top of the mountain then you get to bike down it, they have rental bikes available or bring your own. You can also Zip line or swing through the trees if you would rather," reports a camper at Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort.
Family activities: Lake-In-Wood provides multiple family recreation options within the campground itself. "Great pools and classes (water aerobics was fun for everyone). The did have a mini golf course too, but I am unsure if they do anymore," mentions a visitor to Lake-In-Wood Campground.
Spacious premium sites: Some campgrounds offer designated premium sites with extra amenities. "The Prime Sites are very spacious. Fishing pond is a joke and near by Gun Range can be annoying and tough on pets. But, over all, this place is pretty nice," explains a camper at Spring Gulch Resort Campground.
Well-maintained facilities: Consistent grounds upkeep and clean facilities rank highly in camper feedback. "This campground was very nice. They had a live band one evening. Activities though the day were fun. Clean bath houses and staff was friendly," reports a visitor to Spring Gulch.
Weekend entertainment: Many campgrounds schedule regular entertainment during peak season. "There was a craft show in the barn which was nice," notes one camper about Spring Gulch Resort Campground, while another states about Appalachian Camping Resort: "The campground had numerous activities set up all throughout the day and there was something for everyone."
Seasonal operation: Most RV parks near Skippack close during winter months. "We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow," reports a visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort.
Site conditions vary: Some campgrounds have drainage issues during rainy periods. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site," writes a camper about Robin Hill Campground.
Privacy limitations: Several campgrounds feature open layouts with limited site separation. "The campgrounds are clean but the sites are way too close together and there is not any privacy," states a visitor to Deep Creek Campground at Green Lane Park, while another adds, "The spaces are right on top of each other with no tree cover between spots."
Activity schedules: Research activity calendars when booking. "We camped here over Memorial Day weekend and it was full... There was a pond for swimming and there were dead fish," notes a Spring Gulch camper, highlighting the importance of checking facility conditions.
Child-focused amenities: Some parks offer dedicated kid zones. "Fun activities for kids and adults," reports a camper at Appalachian Camping Resort, which offers a game room, pool, and regular activities for children.
Specialized accommodations: Unique lodging options appeal to families wanting alternatives to traditional camping. "There are a lot of really neat and different rentals here like a tree house, double decker bus, among others. Nice playground for the kids and a small arcade," describes a visitor to Lake-In-Wood Campground.
Site selection strategy: Experienced RVers recommend avoiding buddy sites when possible. "The buddy site was very narrow and since our buddy arrived first we had no choice but to park farther down on the site to avoid our awnings touching and that left us very uneven," notes an Appalachian camper.
Access considerations: Some RV parks have challenging entrance roads. "The entrance made for a challenging entry up a steep grade, narrow roadway, and sharp turn in. I made it without problems, but it wasn't easy in a 45' motorhome towing a Jeep," explains a visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort.
Check-in policies: Early arrival fees apply at some campgrounds. "Check in is as 3pm, we showed up at 2:45 after a 7 hr drive and they made us pay $15 extra," reports a camper at Appalachian Camping Resort.
