If you follow the charming 20-mile Perkiomen Trail all the way to the end, it’ll lead you to one of the great campsites in Montgomery County – Deep Creek Campground in Green Lane Park. With 30 campsites open from April 1 to November 1, now is your chance to explore. Each site is equipped with a fire ring, grill and picnic table, but no electric or water hook up; so if you are looking to get off the grid, this is the spot for you.

Right off the Elephant Swamp Trail in Elk Township, you’ll find the Old Cedar Campground – a family owned and operated campground in New Jersey. If you’re not so keen on the idea on sleeping in a tent, you’ll be happy to know that Old Cedar Campground offers a range of rental options including tent sites, full hook-ups, and even cabin rentals equipped with electric and air conditioning. With easy access to the Elephant Swamp Trail, you can truly become one with nature as you walk, run or ride #onthecircuit passing streams, wetlands and farm fields. When you aren’t traveling the trail, take advantage of all the great amenities the campground has to offer like tennis courts, mini golf, a pool, lake and so much more!

D&L Trail: Delaware Canal Towpath
Adventuring beyond the 59-mile D&L Canal Towpath can lead to an amazing adventure. A few miles past the trail’s end is Ringing Rocks, a family friendly campground in Bucks County. From those who will only camp in an RV to those who prefer to pitch a tent, Ringing Rocks campgrounds offers a great experience for all campers. RV, pop-up, tent and cabin rentals are available from April 5 through October 31. Use the D&L Trail to connect you to Delaware Canal State Park to explore the historic canal and quaint local towns.
