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!
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!

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.

Beautiful campground, loud campers
Beautiful campground but made the mistake of going on a holiday weekend, the campgrounds next to us were screaming and blasting music all day and throughout the night so we ended up leaving early. A beautiful campground when there aren’t noisy capers ruining it.
Guide to Wyndmoor
Seasonal campers visiting Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania contend with humid summers where temperatures frequently reach the upper 80s and cold winters that typically drop below freezing. Located just 10 miles north of downtown Philadelphia at an elevation of 380 feet, this suburban area offers several camping options within a 30-minute drive radius. The region features a mix of state parks and private campgrounds with varying levels of amenities for overnight stays.
What to do
Disc golf courses: Boulder Woods Campground features an extensive disc golf course popular with camping guests. "The camp ground has 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," notes Karralee B.
Historic sites: Washington Crossing State Park offers camping near the site of Washington's famous Delaware River crossing. "Visit the park's historic reenactments, especially the Christmas Day Crossing event as it's easily the most memorable history lesson you'll ever get outdoors," recommends Stuart K. The park includes a visitor center, preserved buildings, and interpretive programs.
Creek exploration: Visit smaller waterways at Tohickon Family Campground where you can fish in the stream running through the property. "They have a nice stream that everyone went fishing at," mentions Jessica V. The campground's location near a covered bridge adds to the scenic appeal for photography opportunities.
What campers like
Wooded tent sites: Campers appreciate the natural setting at many campgrounds near Wyndmoor. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other. Bathrooms were very nice and clean with large showers," writes Jen R. about French Creek State Park Campground.
Kid-friendly amenities: "We went with friends for a weekend. Both families have little kids and it was a great spot with a playground, construction digging area, and a bunch of activities for the kids to do," shares Jessica V. about Tohickon Campground. Many campgrounds in the region offer structured activities that keep children engaged.
Natural areas for pets: Pet-friendly camping near Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania includes sites with space for dog exercise. "This is a magnificent well taken care of park, so I was surprised to see that the campground area didn't receive the same level of TLC," notes Stuart K. about Alverthorpe Private Park, which features wide open spaces adjacent to camping areas.
What you should know
Seasonal weather impacts: The region experiences significant seasonal changes that affect camping conditions. "Since camping is only open to organized camping I've never camped at Evansburg. I've spent countless hours hiking and fishing in Evansburg... The only downside, I've ever experienced is I find Evansburg to be the muddiest State Park I've every experienced," explains Andrew C. about Evansburg State Park Campground.
Group camping restrictions: Several parks only permit organized group camping rather than individual sites. "This isn't the place for a cushy RV getaway or individual tenters looking to sneak in for the night, but rather a structured, group-style camping steeped in Revolutionary War atmosphere," mentions Stuart K. regarding Washington Crossing State Park.
Accessibility limitations: Some campgrounds require carrying gear from parking areas. "The tent sites are on dirt and not stone which we enjoyed, I hate stone under my tent," shares Karralee B. about Boulder Woods Campground. At other sites, you might need to navigate uneven terrain to reach your campsite.
Tips for camping with families
Emergency supplies: Bring extra clothing and footwear when camping with kids. "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," advises Andrew C. about hiking at Evansburg State Park Campground with his young son.
Nearby attractions: Village Scene Park provides access to family-friendly attractions in the area. "Should you need to let the kids unwind for a bit to run around and explore, I would suggest the Amazing Escape Room, just due east of here by 5 minutes," suggests Stuart K.
Off-season visits: Consider camping during shoulder seasons for a quieter experience with children. "We normally camp in the off season, and usually have the whole place to ourselves, so I had some concern prior to arrival that every site in every loop was booked for the whole weekend and expected it to be noisy, however, I was pleasantly surprised," shares Ellen C. about her experience at French Creek State Park.
Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: When traveling with larger rigs, carefully review site specifications. "The sites are narrow and can feel cramped, so don't expect big pull-throughs," cautions Stuart K. about Village Scene Park, noting its tight-knit atmosphere.
Hookup availability: Many campgrounds offer varying levels of hookups. "We stayed in Loop C, which is the only dog friendly loop in the campground, on sites 35, 37, 39,& 40. Thankfully, a short walk to the bathroom facilities for us tent campers," explains Ellen C. about the pet-friendly camping options near Wyndmoor at French Creek State Park.
Parking assistance: Some parks offer help with difficult parking situations. "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," shares Erik W. about his experience at Boulder Woods Campground.
