The best camping near Nockamixon State Park guide

Overview

About

Whether windsurfing, paddling the creeks or hooking a prize bass—there’s no excuse for not getting on the water at this state park. An hour north of Philly, the 1,450-acre lake has enough space for motorboats and stand-up paddleboarders, as well as being classified as a “Big Bass Lake.” If you can drag yourself away from the lake, there are some 25 miles of trails for horseback riders, hikers, and mountain bikers, plus disk golf and a swimming pool complex, all just minutes from the waterfront. Camping isn’t permitted within the park, but 10 cozy cabins are available for rental.

Tips for snagging a campsite

You can reserve one of the park’s 10 cabins via the Pennsylvania State Parks website.
Cabin reservations open 11 months in advance.
Cabins can book up fast, especially if visiting during peak season (June-September). Book at least six months in advance for summer or holiday weekends.

When to go

Lakeside activities change with the seasons at Nockamixon State Park. Come in summer for the best boating and water sports, or bring your ice skates during the winter freeze. A bonus for birdwatchers—migrating waterfowl and raptors swoop into Nockamixon Lake in the spring and fall. Some park areas close in the winter, but trails and cabins stay open year-round.
