The wooded settings at places like Hibernia County Park create natural separation between campsites and offer plenty of hammock-hanging opportunities.

There is NOTHING to do except walk or bike the beautiful trails, spend time on Chamber's Lake, spend time in the hammock and stare at the fire." Tent campers can access various hiking trails, fishing spots, and water activities depending on the specific campground. Most tent sites in the region are open seasonally from spring through fall, with peak usage occurring during summer weekends.

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!

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.

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.

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.
Brian T.ScoutCountry Acres Campground
Excellent But.
The campground is in excellent condition. The facilities are top notch. The excellence and care of the campground is evident. The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire.

Disc golf: Green Lane Park offers a complete course for disc golf enthusiasts of all skill levels. A camper mentioned it has a "Phenomenal disc golf course, hiking, and fishing," making it a versatile destination for outdoor recreation.
Bird watching: Fort Washington State Park provides specialized viewing platforms for spotting migratory birds. "If, like me, you are trying to explore the wonder and splendor of Valley Forge and have stumbled across Fort Washington SP enroute, then what a little gem you have discovered... from this very spot you can view the beautiful raptors that migrate here on a seasonal basis."
What campers like
Wooded seclusion: Most campers appreciate the heavily forested sites at Hibernia County Park. A reviewer described it perfectly: "We LOVE this campground. It's tiny (19 sites in Fiddlers loop), it's quiet, it's heavily wooded. There is NOTHING to do except walk or bike the beautiful trails, spend time on Chamber's Lake, spend time in the hammock and stare at the fire."
Lake access: Campers consistently mention the proximity to water as a highlight. At Boulder Ridge Farm, a reviewer enjoyed the "plenty of fire wood, really cool huge rocks and waking up to owls was awesome."
Easy trails: Many campers value the accessible trail systems. One reviewer at Ridley Creek State Park mentioned, "well marked trails great for hiking. pet friendly! we love walking here with our dog. there are even a few great spots to get a small creek swim in!"
What you should know
Group camping restrictions: Several parks limit camping to organized groups. "Since camping is only open to organized camping I've never camped at Evansburg State Park," notes one reviewer, though they add the park has "spent countless hours hiking and fishing" opportunities.
Limited privacy: Many campgrounds feature sites close together. One camper observed Green Lane Park's sites are "way too close together and there is not any privacy" while another noted they are "right on top of each other with no tree cover between spots."
Primitive facilities: Most tent sites have minimal amenities. Hibernia County Park has "NO HOOKUPS, and water is not easy to come by if you are in an RV... There are only pit toilets in Fiddler's loop."
Reservation requirements: Several parks operate on weekend-only schedules. Hibernia County Park "is only open on the weekends, in season" and during special events "you are REQUIRED to call in to reserve."
Tips for camping with families
Look for playgrounds: Hibernia County Park offers "running water available, porta potties are very clean and don't smell and are lit with a street lamp... The park ranger this weekend was the nicest and very helpful with directions to walk to the playground."
Child-friendly fishing: Some parks maintain dedicated fishing areas for younger visitors. A camper at Hibernia noted the "Great children's pond for 12 and under. Brandywine creek and Chambers Lake are there too."
Accessible hiking: For families with younger children, choose trails carefully. At Washington Crossing State Park, "miles of wooded trails lead you through rolling hills and historic landscapes, perfect for hiking and birdwatching."
Tips from RVers
Size limitations: Most tent campgrounds near Souderton have restrictions on RV length. At Hibernia, a camper explained that while "the sites don't look big enough to house an RV, there are a few sites that will, including #3, #17 & #18 and plenty of sites will fit a small RV or pop up camper."
Bring all water: RVers must prepare for limited water access. Hibernia has "one spigot at the bathroom... If you are coming in an RV, you should come with a full water tank."
Dump stations: No local campgrounds have onsite dumping. As one Hibernia camper warned, "There is NO DUMP STATION. 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."
Leveling challenges: Sites are rarely flat. At Ridley Creek State Park, RV sites "aren't level, but nothing a little creative positioning can't fix."
