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!

Boulder Woods Campground features pet-friendly camping across tent sites, RV spaces, cabins and glamping accommodations. Multiple nearby campgrounds welcome dogs and other pets including Tohickon Family Campground, Quakerwoods Campground, and French Creek State Park. Camping with pets in the Souderton area typically requires leashes and proper waste disposal, with most facilities offering water hookups and designated pet walking areas. Bathhouses remain clean and accessible at most locations, though the tent sites at some campgrounds lack privacy and are arranged close together with minimal separation between camping spots. Village Scene Park provides full hookup RV sites in a suburban setting with pet-friendly policies and nearby walking areas for dogs, making it convenient for travelers with pets visiting the Philadelphia region.
Green Lane Park's Deep Creek Campground allows pets but offers more primitive accommodations with tent and RV sites situated along the campground driveway with little privacy between them. Hiking trails throughout the area provide excellent exercise opportunities for dogs, with French Creek State Park and Boulder Woods offering particularly good trail systems. The disc golf course at Boulder Woods attracts many visitors and provides open spaces where leashed dogs can join their owners. Seasonal camping runs primarily from April through October at most facilities, with few year-round options available. Proximity to highways varies by campground, with some locations experiencing road noise that might disturb sensitive pets. Wildlife encounters require keeping pets secured, especially during dawn and dusk hours when local animals are most active. Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours, though enforcement varies by location.

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!

Atsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest
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.
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 Souderton
Pet friendly camping options near Souderton, Pennsylvania run along the eastern edge of the Unami Creek watershed, where elevations average around 400 feet above sea level.

What to do
Disc golf course: 18 holes at Boulder Woods Campground are popular with both campers and day visitors. "They sell disc golf things in the store as well. This course is huge and brings in groups who play for the day," notes Karralee B. The campground rents discs for beginners wanting to try the sport.
Fishing: Multiple stocked ponds within 10 minutes of most campsites offer various catch opportunities. "There is a nice stream that everyone went fishing at," reports Jessica V. about Tohickon Family Campground. Green Lane Park provides additional fishing spots where "phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing" are available according to Benjamin C.
Hiking trails: Networks of varying difficulty connect many area campgrounds. The trails at Evansburg State Park are particularly notable where "Since he was 2 years old I've taken my son, and we always have an amazing time, either hiking the trails to wandering in the woods looking for adventures," shares Andrew C. Trails range from easy walking paths to more challenging terrain.
What campers like
Campground staff: Helpful personnel make a difference in the camping experience. At Tohickon Family Campground, "Staff is incredible!! Very polite, helpful, and just all around awesome people!!! They make sure your stay is exactly what you'd want it to be," writes Richard D.
Clean facilities: Bathhouses receive regular maintenance at most locations. At French Creek State Park, campers appreciate that "Bathrooms were very nice and clean with large showers. Nice area to wash dishes," according to Jen R. This attention to cleanliness extends to common areas and recreation facilities.
Family activities: Organized events keep younger campers entertained. Boulder Woods Campground stands out as "a great campground. Bill and Kate are friendly and helpful. They have so much to do for kids!!" according to Shannon C. Weekend programming typically includes hayrides and seasonal celebrations.
What you should know
Site spacing: Privacy varies significantly between campgrounds and between loops within the same campground. At Green Lane Park's 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," warns Jen. Primitive tent sites generally offer more seclusion than RV areas.
Weather considerations: Drainage issues affect some campgrounds during wet periods. At Quakerwoods Campground, "Don't come if your in a tent And It Has Been or will rain, It Becomes Flooded or turns into A mudPit," cautions LU D. Similar conditions affect other area campgrounds after heavy rainfall.
Road noise: Highway proximity impacts some camping locations. Boulder Woods campers note it's "a bit to close to the highways" according to Joe B., while others mention the Pennsylvania Turnpike is audible from certain sites. Request sites farther from major roads when making reservations if quiet is important.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Multiple play areas keep children entertained between outdoor activities. At Nockamixon State Park, "Family friendly with lots of activities" makes it ideal for groups with children according to Marlaina M. Most campgrounds feature at least basic playground equipment.
Wildlife viewing: Bird watching opportunities abound throughout the region. Fort Washington State Park offers exceptional bird watching where visitors can see "warblers, woodpeckers, various hawks and red thrushes" according to Stuart K. Morning and evening hours provide the best viewing opportunities.
Swimming options: Seasonal pools operate at several campgrounds from Memorial Day through Labor Day. At Little Red Barn Campground, "The pool is awesome" according to Amy V., while other locations offer lake swimming with designated beach areas during summer months.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Request interior locations for the most level parking. At Village Scene Park, "Sites are narrow and can feel cramped, so don't expect big pull-throughs," notes Stuart K. Most RV sites offer 30/50 amp service, water, and sewer connections.
Hookup access: Utility placement varies between campgrounds. French Creek State Park offers "a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," according to Jen R. Some sites require additional hose or cord length to reach connections.
Seasonal availability: Most campgrounds operate from April through October. Year-round options are limited, though French Creek State Park remains open during winter months where "Showers and bathrooms were great! If you're traveling through, there are many places to eat nearby," according to Galit P. who stayed in early December.
