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.

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!
Peggy C.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!
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!

ScoutOld Mill Stream Campground
Never Again
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.

Guide to Springtown
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.
What to do
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.
What campers like
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."
What you should know
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.
Tips for camping with families
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.
Tips from RVers
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.
