Road access to most established campgrounds is suitable for standard vehicles, though some tent-only sites at Fort Washington State Park require carrying gear from parking areas to campsites.

Campers frequently highlight the surprising natural settings available despite proximity to Philadelphia's urban environment. State park campgrounds provide quieter experiences with forest surroundings and access to trail systems. According to one camper at Fort Washington State Park, "There's at least two fire pits per camp ground. They give you firewood—if you bring your own, leave with any left over." Wildlife viewing opportunities are notable, with bird watching platforms at Fort Washington State Park allowing observation of seasonal raptor migrations. Urban camping alternatives exist as well, including the unique Philadelphia Love Boats offering floating accommodations at Pier 5 Marina. For those seeking fully developed facilities, private campgrounds provide amenities like showers, sanitary dump stations, and on-site stores, while state parks typically offer more basic infrastructure with greater emphasis on natural surroundings.

ScoutWe needed a pit stop….as a pit stop it serves its purpose…..would not stay here more than a night. Lots of seasonal run down campers. Tarps over campers. Bathrooms are neglected. Agree with previous reviewer that they have given into the seasonal camper.
ScoutChoose another campground unless you are certain you can arrive before 4pm. Otherwise, you'll not be allowed in. Owner is belligerent on this point, and from other comments, belligerent on other issues also.
We strongly recommend the nearby French Creek State Park campground.
LegendOverall, this is a nice, small (about 65 sites) state park with plenty of recreational opportunities inside the park. There is nice separation between sites so you don’t feel like you are on top of your neighbor. Tall trees are scattered about which provide shade at some sites but overall, the park is pretty open. Roads getting to the park are easy to navigate with any size RV. Within the park, roads are paved and free of potholes and there are no low hanging branches. Since the roads are one-way they are not very wide so backing in big-rigs can be a little tight and you might have to run over the grass.
All RV sites are full hook-up and there is a separate area for tents and there is one canvas yurt for rent. The tent sites are nice in that they are tucked along the wood line slightly away from RVs with more privacy and shade. The only downside is that they are pretty far away from the centrally located bathroom and showers. The bathroom has separate rooms for showers which is nice and private. They were tended to daily and very clean. Also, located in the center of the campground is a playground, camp store and laundry. The dumpsters and recycle bins are located in a separate area on the way out of the campground and were frequently full and overflowing. Campsites are paved and some have wide enough that the patio is paved but others have a narrow pad for the RV and gravel patio. We discovered that most sites are level but a few are not (like 22 and 24). The campground is very clean and camp hosts were diligent about picking up trash and cleaning out fire pits every day.
Across the pond (north of the campground) is where most of the amenities are located such as concessions, ball fields, horseshoe pits, disk golf, and more. For those wanting to fish there is a pier in the campground and a self-serve vending machine with bait in it. There are additional fishing piers located in other parts of the park and there are boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards for rent. We stopped in at the Nature Center but it was a bust– just a few taxidermy specimens and not much information. One of the most popular areas of the park is Go Ape which is a ropes/zip line course through the canopy (which does require admission fee). There are nice trails that leave right from the campground– some 17 miles in all. There is a boat launch about a quarter mile from the campground entrance which is suitable for trailerable boats and paddle craft but there are no docks so you can’t leave your boat tied up there. There is an off-leash dog area but it is located far from the campground so it’s best to drive.
ScoutBathrooms are clean and staff is nice
TravelerThe camp site was amazing. Everything is neat and clean and really beautiful place so quiet.
ScoutNice site. Neighbor not to close. Bring extra water hose. The connection is not very close.
ScoutWe stopped here overnight on our way down south. Very convenient location, nice large lawn with beautiful tall shade trees, bathroom was extremely clean and you can see were just recently renovated. They had a pool and some basic playground equipment. Pet friendly. You have to enter the camping area by driving through an RV and truck storage area first. We would stay here again .
GuideThis campground has everything. Conveniently located, short drive to Dover, Wilmington, Annapolis and Baltimore. The sites were very large and spacious. Sites can accommodate any type of trailer or vehicle. Plenty of site hookups, areas for tents. There is a camp store, several washer and dryers. The best private, individual shower booths and even a pond to go fishing in.
LegendLike always we like to begin our camping season with a Easter Weekend Trip, my husband's family is partial to the Lancaster Area, so we headed there to Sun Retreats Lancaster. As we drove up I loved the look and location of the campground. You could see there was a indoor pool setup, arcade, playground, store, ice cream, mini-golf and a huge lake and that was everything we saw from the truck. We pulled up to a gate and a guy came out of the shed next to it to check us in.
The campground looked well maintained, the sports were on both sides of the lake and they offered many different options like woods or open, pull through or back up. We choose a really wooded site. It was tight getting in but I can't complain I don't drive the truck. It seemed like there was a fair amount of seasonal sites but they didn't overwhelm the place. I could see also a lot of cabins there were some shaped like teepees, a frontier cabin, and a caboose. They had a fair amount of open grass to play and enjoy. You can bring your own golfcart or they have on site rentals also.
They had an activity list that would help keep everyone busy, they had a mini golf course that was in great shape, an arcade which was definitely lacking in the game department, I think there was 4 pinball machines, 2 Skee ball, 3 racing games, and the play to you win machine. The playground x2 were both in great condition with a lot to keep kids playing on. I can only comment on the indoor pool which at the time was said to be under construction however still open, the water was on the colder side and the hot tube the same temp as the pool, the ceiling had been ripped off so the iron rusting beams were exposed and rust falling down. The kids still went in the pool unfortunately the air from the open window made them too cold so we didn't stay long. I am hoping it will be finished because the concept of the indoor-outdoor pool area looks so fun.
The staff was extremely helpful and super friendly. The store was fully stocked with everything you could want. The bathrooms were all kept so clean and in working order with hot water. We enjoyed the area we ventured out to see the Choo Choo barn, the green dragon flea market, and kitchen kettle village which are a must if your in the area. We also choose to hike the Welsh Preserve and Money Rock. The lake had a path you could walk completely around and you could choose to fish if that's your thing.
I would definitely return to this campground again, we had 8 sites in total and we all really thought it was a wonderful place and really enjoyed our holiday weekend there. It was very busy but the staff was present but not overbearing. People were very respectful and friendly.

Fishing opportunities: Multiple water bodies offer fishing for various species throughout the camping season.

Shade coverage: Tent and RV campers appreciate the forest canopy at most area campgrounds. At French Creek State Park Campground, a camper observed, "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."
Quiet camping areas: Despite proximity to Philadelphia, several campgrounds maintain peaceful atmospheres. A visitor to Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA noted, "Every night after my cacophonous conference in Philadelphia, I couldn't wait to turn down Timberlane Road and see that little KOA sign glowing in the darkness."
Well-maintained facilities: Campgrounds in the region typically offer clean facilities with hot water. "This campground was so well maintained. There was so much to do there a pool, lake, horseshoes, cornhole, playground, big pillow and even more. They offer so many activities during the day and text you so you don't forget," said a visitor at Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA.
Bird watching platforms: Several parks offer specialized wildlife viewing areas. At Fort Washington State Park, "If 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."
Limited individual camping sites: Several parks offer only group camping facilities. At Fort Washington State Park Campground, a visitor clarified, "Great historical park along Washington's route to Valley Forge - however, camping is group camping by reservation only, not nightly camping for individuals."
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially for weekend stays. "We stayed here for 3 nights while visiting family In Philadelphia. It is a 20 minute ride into Philly and Uber was quick and responsive," noted a camper at Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA, highlighting the need to plan ahead.
Site terrain variations: Campsite surfaces range from paved pads to natural ground. A French Creek State Park camper explained, "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other."
Walking distance to some campsites: Be prepared to carry gear from parking areas at certain campgrounds. An Evansburg visitor mentioned, "This hidden gem of a campground is beautiful. There is plenty of hiking trails. Only downside is having to haul gear by foot to the campsite. Some are further than others."
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature dedicated children's play areas.

It had some slides, a bridge, lots of monkey bars, ladders to climb on and the best feature was the zip line."
Alternative accommodations: Beyond traditional tent and RV sites, unique options exist. "My husband and I stayed for a week in one of the glamping tents. The staff was very friendly and the tents were more glamorous than we had tried before, but definitely had a good combination of woodsy and comfort," said a visitor to Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA.
Urban camping alternatives: For families wanting proximity to city attractions, consider non-traditional options. Philly Love Boats at Pier 5 Marina offers floating accommodations in downtown Philadelphia, providing a unique base for city exploration with one visitor commenting, "I am definitely going to give this a shot this looks very peaceful."
Water activities: Look for campgrounds with swimming options during summer months. "We also tried keeping the wet out. We went to an amusement park and went on the Sploosh ride. You know - basically the giant log flume ride but in a boat. So we had our phones and money in the droplet bag and went on the ride. WE WERE SOAKED!"
Site dimensions: Many area campgrounds have limited space for larger RVs. At Village Scene Park, a visitor warned, "Sites are narrow and can feel cramped, so don't expect big pull-throughs."
Urban camping considerations: RV parks near Philadelphia offer convenience with limitations. "The first thing that you'll note is that Village Scene Park is located smack dab in the middle of an otherwise sprawling suburban area of the nearby metro Philly. You'll be driving down tree-lined, shady streets one moment and the very next, you'll happen across this unusual spot."
Parking assistance: Some campgrounds offer help with difficult site entry. A Boulder Woods Campground visitor advised, "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."
Transportation options: Public transit from some RV parks provides access to Philadelphia without driving. A visitor notes, "Nearby there's a SEPTA Doylestown/Landsdale regional rail line stop that will pretty much give you all of the direct access to the city without having to bother with driving through any of the traffic to enjoy Philly."
