Best Campgrounds near Trexlertown, PA

Eastern Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley offers several established campgrounds near Trexlertown, with options ranging from full-service RV parks to rustic cabin accommodations. The Allentown KOA in nearby New Tripoli provides tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals along a scenic stream, while facilities like Pine Hill RV Park in Kutztown and Quakerwoods Campground in Quakertown cater primarily to recreational vehicles with some tent camping options. Most campgrounds in this region maintain wooded settings despite their proximity to Interstate 78 and larger towns like Allentown.

The camping season in the Trexlertown area typically runs from April through October, with most developed campgrounds closing for winter. Reservation requirements vary by location, though booking ahead is strongly recommended during summer weekends and holiday periods when facilities reach capacity. Access to campgrounds generally involves well-maintained roads suitable for larger vehicles and trailers. The region's rolling topography provides scenic camping environments without extreme elevation challenges. One camper at Allentown KOA described their experience as "nestled in the mountains of Pennsylvania" with "a creek that goes through the entire campground."

Family-oriented amenities distinguish many camping areas near Trexlertown. Swimming pools, playgrounds, mini-golf courses and camp stores are common features at the larger established campgrounds. Several visitors highlighted the peaceful settings despite relative proximity to urban areas. A review of the Allentown KOA noted it was "very secluded, no highway noise" and that their "spot backed up right to a creek and it was beautiful." The Blue Rocks Family Campground in Lenhartsville and Tohickon Family Campground in Quakertown offer similar family-focused environments. For those seeking more private accommodations, several campgrounds provide cabin rentals as alternatives to traditional tent and RV sites, including the year-round cabin options at French Creek State Park Campground.

    AT Group Campsite near Lehigh Gap

    Good site for camping

    Camped here the night before doing Lehigh Gap, it was less than a mile from the parking at Blue Mountain Rd. (Official A.T. parking). The only downside was my sleeping pad sprung a leak, so it wasn't the best night's sleep. But the site itself was great and I would camp there again.

    Blue Rocks Family Campground

    Very nice but a little pricey.

    Been here many times always in the fall. Never been here in summer so have never used the pool. Great little store and small grill restaurant. The trails and the rocks are nice. Our site was very rocky and on an incline so hard to get the camper level. It was a “pop up/tent” site and we were in a small travel trailer so it’s understandable. Only criticism is the it’s very pricey for what you get. And there online booking system isn’t very accurate as it said they were sold out and there was many open sites all weekend. Would be much better it they made more sites have even basic electric.

    Homestead Campground

    Here for a week

    Beautiful park. Looks like only 2 of the spots are for campers, rest are full time residents. The farther back you go in the park the worse condition the rv are. At time of visit the closest bathroom was under repair, it happens. Aggravating issues: Dump station has no water. People walk their dogs right thru your camp site and then don’t pick up after them.

    But yea, beautiful place

    Locust Lake State Park Campground

    Edit: 1 star- Scout sites before paying!

    Beware: these sites are not travel trailer friendly.

    We booked two nights but upon arriving, we realized that there was no way to fit our trailer (only 25 ft). Trees were growing up in all the sites that were available and most of the ones without trees in the way were pointing in the wrong direction for backing into and NONE were level. Called the office, they told us what other sites were available and we tried every one. Only one was remotely suitable for a travel trailer and we had to drive the wrong way through the loop to be at the right angle to even try backing it in. No luck. I’m honestly shocked that they label some of these sites as RV friendly because wow. We left and had to find other accommodations. Trying to get a refund and currently navigating their phone system/trying to get a refund. Three phone conversations later and I’ll have to call another number on Monday to get the right person to issue the refund. We’ve never stayed at PA parks before but if they’re all like this, then it makes it really hard to plan when some sites are fine for trailers and some aren’t even close. Just heads up.

    UPDATE: Called back during business hours and got the “park manager.” Could only give a partial refund for one of the two nights. I said that they weren’t clear on the condition of the sites and he said there was nothing he could do about it.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Hard with a large group

    Harder to do with a large group due to the early quiet hours, but park is very nice and well kept

    Stoevers Dam Park

    Park is closed. We were kicked out.

    LThe park is a beautiful city park. There are 7 small, level, back-in sites with electric, a picnic table and fire pit. We arrived in a Sunday and you have to call for a permit, but the office is only open on M-F during working hours. At 8 pm, a police officer told us the park was closed because of a bear, but that they had not gotten around to putting up signs. Wound up in a Walmart instead.
