French Creek State Park Campground accommodates dogs throughout its tent, RV, cabin, and glamping areas. Pets must remain leashed at all times within the campground's boundaries and hiking trails. Fort Washington State Park and Evansburg State Park also welcome four-legged companions with similar leash policies enforced to protect wildlife and other campers. Village Scene Park provides full hookup RV sites for campers with pets, while Boulder Woods Campground offers pet-friendly cabins alongside traditional camping options. Green Lane Park's Deep Creek Campground allows pets but provides minimal privacy between sites, making it potentially challenging for reactive dogs. The trail system at Evansburg State Park offers excellent terrain for dogs with numerous creek access points for water-loving breeds.
Hiking with dogs at Green Lane Park requires preparation as the trails can become extremely muddy after rain, often necessitating post-hike baths for pets. Evansburg's trails feature varied terrain with creek access points where dogs can cool off during summer months. Multiple campers report finding ticks on their pets after hiking in the area, particularly during warmer seasons, so preventative tick treatments are strongly recommended. The suburban location of several campgrounds provides quick access to veterinary clinics and pet supply stores in nearby communities. French Creek State Park enforces quiet hours that apply to barking dogs, and site spacing at most campgrounds allows reasonable separation except at Deep Creek where sites offer zero privacy between neighbors. Fort Washington State Park's group camping area provides more spacious accommodations for multiple families camping with dogs.

TravelerCampground sites are nice and spacious, bathrooms are good, and there’s plenty to do for everyone. We hiked the 7.5mile lake trail with our two pups. It was beautiful and along the way there were opportunities to kayak/sup, beach it, or even play on a ropes course. We always travel with our dogs and this place has the BEST dog park. Big open space with access to lots of water play. We definitely recommend this spot!
RangerWe stayed here for a night in transit. Beautiful campground — lots of trees, pond, kids play equipment, dog park, etc. facilities all clean and whole place is well maintained. Easy late arrival. Good location - convenient but far enough off the highway. Would stay here again.
GuideI was able to book my site the day before the trip. The site itself was set back some, and felt secluded while still being near the parking area.
Walk to bathrooms and camp store was on the longer side. Firewood was $5 a bundle, but the register wasn't working and they could only take cash.
The hiking in the immediate area was beautiful, lots of fun trails and wildlife. Fishing, kayaking, zip lining, tons of great activities.
The firepits have grates over one half, so campfire cooking is a breeze. Cook up and use the provided picnic table for an easy dinner set up.
The park itself is very dog friendly and most sites had dogs. There is also an off leash dog park at Lum's pond and dog water dishes outside the camp store.
The showers and bathrooms were incredibly well kept with hot water and stocked supplies. If you didn't feel like walking so far, the tents had a spiget with running water near the parking areas.
Reception for Verizon was spotty, t mobile was pretty great. Wish there was an ATM on site though I don't think the cash only situation is a normal one for this campground.
All in all an amazing trip, and I'll be back as soon as possible.
GuideMy family and I stayed at French Creek State Park while attending an event in Reading. The park was clean and well maintained. We stayed in Loop A which had no camp host. The camp hosts were in loops B & C. We had a full hook up site. The water and electric worked great! The campground was well patrolled by Rangers throughout our stay. The bathhouses appeared to be clean and maintained. The quiet time starts at 9pm and seemed to be followed by most campers. There are numerous hiking trails in the park that seemed to be well marked and maintained. The park is about 20- mins from Reading, and 10 mins from Birdsbroro. There are many stores and restaurants in the area for food and supplies if needed. We had good cellular service with both AT&T and T-Mobile. The one downside was that there was no off leash dog park. We had to take our dog to a dog park in Birdsbroro. We would stay at this park again.
GuideWe stayed here for 3 nights and thought well of the park. The place was meticulously clean and the permanent campers keep their sites so well. The pool was warm, clean and enjoyable. There’s a nice playground and a GaGa pit. There’s lots of space to walk your dog on leash but no dog park. We had an issue with our surge protector and the manager had an electrician out to us quickly who helped us solve a problem. Pleasant staff in the camp store. The laundry area and shower rooms are beautiful and clean.
There is nothing to do in the immediate area, but we were there to use the bike trails and bop around Jim Thorpe…about 25 minutes away via pretty country roads.

LegendWest Chester KOA This is a really nice KOA not too far from downtown Philly. The campground is located in a beautiful part of the Pennsylvania countryside with rolling hills which meant the roads getting there are narrow and windy. A bridge nearby the campground was washed out earlier by a hurricane so we had to take an alternative route going about thirty minutes out of our way. (Make sure you check their website for directions!) There is a lot to do in the surrounding area like visiting the historical sites in downtown Philadelphia, Valley Forge, or exploring Amish country.
This is a typical KOA with lots of amenities and activities for kids– swimming pool, jump pad, miniature golf, volleyball, butterfly garden, gem mining, playground, store, dog park, nature trail, etc. There is a large pool area with pavilion but it was closed during our stay since we were there early in the season. The campground is right on the Brandywine River which is a slow meandering pretty river that is great to get your feet wet or go for a paddle. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent if you have time and as there is very little current in the river you can paddle out and back without any trouble. There is a nice, short nature trail which was nice to walk our dog and she enjoyed getting wet in the river.
The campground is hilly which means that a fair number of sites are not level. Our site (#27) was level for our RV but the patio sloped downhill and we could not use our picnic table or find a level spot for our chairs. Some sites are “premiums” with paved patios, Adirondack chairs, fancy firepits, BBQ grill, and tables and chairs with an umbrella. These sites are really nice, but you pay a lot more for them. Some sites are located adjacent to the river with nice waterfront views, but beware some might be muddy. There are lots of camping cabins and a couple of glamping tents.
Overall, the campground is very clean with no trash lying around and the grass was mowed and trimmed. The 50-amp electric was good as was the water pressure. The sewer connection uphill from our site so it did not drain properly. There is basic cable but since you are so close to Philly there are plenty of over-the-air channels. The Wi-Fi at our site worked well. Garbage is picked up at your site. The surrounding area has plenty of restaurants, shopping, and interesting things to see and do.
GuideWe do Lums Pond at least twice a year if we can get reservations.
Sites are big and all were redone in the last few years with concrete pads, 30 amp service and full sewer. There are some equestrian and tent sites as well.
Lots of boating (electric motors only) and kayaking on the pond and a decent amount of hiking. There’s an off leash dog park, equestrian center and boat ramp. Book early because it fills up fast!
LegendThis is unquestionably the best KOA I’ve been to. I usually do not like KOA, except when there are no alternatives. This one is way above average. Typically these places are all gravel and dust. This one has paved roads, grass and trees. There is a pond for fishing, too. The only complaint is that, like all KOAs, the sites are on top of each other. The neighbor’s sewer connection is right next to our picnic table! But, the sites are large enough for large RVs, they have 30/50 amp hookups and water & sewer. There are cabins and large tents you can rent. There is a playground, pavilion, laundry, and several shower/bathrooms. (The one near us didn’t have hot water. The office people said they were working on it.) There us also a large, grassy, fenced dog park which my 2 spaniels appreciated.
Springtown, Pennsylvania sits in a valley nestled between the rolling hills of the Lehigh Valley and Bucks County. Located at an elevation of 600 feet, the area experiences moderate seasonal changes with especially vibrant fall foliage from late September through October. Most campgrounds in the region remain open April through October, though several offer year-round camping with varying levels of amenities during winter months.
Disc golf opportunities: At Boulder Woods Campground, campers can access an extensive disc golf course that draws enthusiasts from surrounding areas. "There is a very large golf disc course and they seem to have tournaments. They sell disc golf things in the store as well. This course is huge and brings in groups who play for the day," noted Karralee B.
Creek exploration: Many campers enjoy wading and exploring the waterways near Evansburg State Park. One visitor shared, "I had the best time here hiking up and down the mini mountains. The water was clear and beautiful and I absolutely loved it," while another mentioned it's "Great place to creek hike, nice for horses, we did get a lot of ticks, but not deer ticks, thankfully."
Seasonal bird watching: Fort Washington State Park offers exceptional opportunities for observing migratory birds, especially during spring and fall. "Should you call yourself a bird watcher, you'll be particularly interested as from this very spot you can view the beautiful raptors that migrate here on a seasonal basis in both the Spring and Autumn," explains Stuart K., who recommends the observation deck opposite the main parking area.
Private, spacious sites: Campers consistently praise the generously sized sites at French Creek State Park Campground. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," reports Jen R., while another camper noted, "As long as you don't stay right across from the bath houses you will find ample shade at your site. There are so many trees and brush in between most sites you can't even really see your neighbors."
Year-round availability: Some area campgrounds remain open during winter months. One camper at French Creek State Park shared, "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great! If you're traveling through, there are many places to eat nearby. I'm a women in my thirties traveling alone and I felt very safe here."
Fishing opportunities: Multiple water bodies throughout the region provide fishing access. At Green Lane Park, one visitor mentioned, "Great park to do everything outdoorsy including, hiking, horseback riding, hunting and fishing. I cought a beautiful Brown Trout here a few weeks ago!" French Creek State Park contains "two lakes, Scotts Run Lake and Hopewell Lake that you can fish, kayak, canoe or just relax by. There are several warm water fish in the lakes including northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish."
Weather considerations: The region's terrain can create challenging camping conditions during wet weather. At Green Lane Park, "I find Evansburg to be the muddiest State Park I've every experienced; I always bring a pair of sneakers to change out of my hiking boots, as well as a shoes and change of clothes for the little guy," warns Andrew C.
Campsite privacy varies: Site separation differs significantly between campgrounds. At Green Lane Park's Deep Creek Campground, "The spaces are right on top of each other with no tree cover between spots, so you'll definitely be right up on your neighbors," according to Tara T., while others note "the sites are way too close together and there is not any privacy."
Group-only camping locations: Some parks only permit organized group camping rather than individual sites. At Fort Washington State Park, "camping is group camping by reservation only, not nightly camping for individuals," explains Sue C. Similarly, Ridley Creek State Park has "only group tenting" available according to one regular visitor.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. At Boulder Woods Campground, "This is a great place to stay for a family or the outdoor enthusiast as there is so much to do. There is a huge lake where you can rent canoes and kayaks. A huge pool that has a beautiful view overlooking the lake. There are trails for mountain biking or hiking, a frisbee golf course, playground at the campground and at the lake."
Educational opportunities: Families can combine camping with historical learning. Fort Washington State Park "lies in significance from the Revolutionary War when it housed troops led by then General George Washington on the way to Valley Forge," providing opportunities to discuss American history while camping.
Kid-friendly activities: Plan for specific family entertainment options at certain campgrounds. The Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA has "a pool that is open Memorial Day-Labor Day. They also have a catch and release pond," plus "a playground, so good for kids," according to Jaquiline D.
Site layout challenges: RV campers should be prepared for potentially tight maneuvering. At Boulder Woods Campground, "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," advises Erik W.
Age restrictions for seasonal camping: RVers looking for long-term stays should inquire about age policies. One camper at Boulder Woods noted, "They only allow seasonal campers to be 10 years old or newer. Ours is 13. Very disappointed. But for a weekend away, it's a great place."
Urban camping convenience: For pet-friendly camping near Springtown with city access, Village Scene Park offers "Full-hookup RV sites with 30/50 amp, water, and sewer." One visitor appreciated the "Convenient suburban location near Philadelphia yet surprisingly quiet," perfect for day trips while keeping pets in a comfortable camping environment.
