If you’re in the market for some more secluded, rustic camping, this is your site. French Creek State Park has plenty of places to pitch a tent for around $25. At 7,700 acres, it also happens to be the largest contiguous forest between D.C. and New York. Here, you can hike, bike, and fish, as well as take in some great bird watching; it’s been designated an important bird and mammal area by the National Audubon Society.

Just a 30 minute drive from Center City, Ridley Creek State Park has some gorgeous scenery to check out, as well as some killer activities. You can hike and bike, or you can opt to explore by horse. Hidden Valley Farms operates a stable in the park that offers riding lessons, pony rides, and more. If you want to stay, you’ll need to book fast. There are a few options available for groups to pitch tents and stay overnight.

This 5,000-acre park is right on the water and offers some beautiful, quiet overnight spots. There are chances to hike, bike, boat, and even fish. For younger kids who want to swim, there’s even a pool nearby. The site offers several secluded cabins along the water which run a little upward of $100.

If you’re camping in Parvin, chances are you’ll be right on the water. There are two big campsites here: one sits along the banks of Thundergust Lake, which offers mainly cabins that run around $55. The other offers camping either on the banks or at least nearby Parvin Lake, where you can bring a trailer or a tent and get a site that costs about $25. For the botanists out there, the site offers 220 different kinds of flowering plants. Plus, as with many of these sites, there’s plenty of biking, kayaking, canoeing and more to be had.

This is one for the history buffs: George Washington stayed here with his troops after crossing the Delaware in 1776. Now, it’s a very secluded park with only four campsites available. You can only do “primitive camping” (meaning in tents) but you can bring up to 50 friends at many of the sites. Costs (for non-residents) run from $60 to $200, but again, bring a big group of friends to this one.

There is a lot of camping to be had out in Belleplain State Forest (a quick drive from the shore, if you want to knock out two vacations in one). It all surrounds the beautiful Lake Nummy and, while you’ll probably be nearby other campers, chances are that won’t matter as soon as you get there. It’s basically a nature wonderland, with tons of swimming, biking, and hiking. Plus, it offers a range of options: you can pitch the typical tent, or you can opt for a lean-to, small cabin, or bring a trailer. A lot of the sites are pet-friendly and the experience can run you between $25-$60 depending on where you choose to stay.

With flat, sandy trails and plenty of places to pitch a tent, the Brendan T Byrne State Forest is a great getaway. There’s a blend of opportunities, from group and family campsites, to shelters. Plus, you can bring a dog (on a leash) to some of the pet-friendly sites and check out all the great streams and woodland the area has to offer. Costs will run you around $20-25 per night.
