Glenside camping overview
Glenside is a suburb in Montgomery County just north of Philadelphia, so RV travelers use it as a base for the city while overnighting outside its dense core. No campgrounds sit inside Glenside itself. The closest RV-suitable options are clustered in Hatfield, Green Lane, and across the Delaware River in New Jersey, generally within a 30 to 45 minute drive.
The nearest option, Village Scene Park in Hatfield, is a small manufactured home community that also rents a limited number of full-hookup RV sites. A short distance away, Oak Grove Park and Sales offers another Hatfield-area choice. Homestead Family Campgrounds in Green Lane sits on wooded acreage and works well for families with a larger rig.
South of the city, Philadelphia South / Clarksboro KOA Holiday in Clarksboro, New Jersey, is the standard full-service pick, within driving distance of Philadelphia. Washington Crossing State Park, NJ, has group campsites that were closed for the 2025 season, and campgrounds remain closed until further notice.
Things to do near Glenside
Center City Philadelphia is the main draw: Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Reading Terminal Market are all reachable by SEPTA regional rail from stations near several of the campgrounds. Keswick Village in Glenside itself has restaurants, shops, and the Keswick Theatre for live music.
Outside the city, families use the area to reach the Delaware River corridor. Washington Crossing marks the site of General George Washington's historic 1776 Christmas night crossing of the icy Delaware River, with historic buildings and walking paths on the Pennsylvania side and Revolutionary War landscape on the New Jersey side.
For greener days, the Pennsylvania side offers historic buildings, walking paths, picnicking, fishing, and non-motorized boat launching, while Green Lane Park, Peace Valley, and Tyler State Park add hiking and cycling within an easy drive.

Philadelphia experiences a humid subtropical climate with strong seasonal contrasts, and summers are hot with rainfall spread fairly evenly throughout the year, though heavy seasonal downpours can occur in warmer months. Winters are cold and bring regular snowfall, and the city can stay below freezing for stretches from December through February.
Peak RV season runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, when private parks fill quickly on holiday weekends and school breaks. Spring and fall bring milder temperatures, lower humidity, and easier reservations, and fall foliage along the Delaware peaks in mid to late October.
Many public campgrounds in the region operate seasonally. At Washington Crossing State Park in New Jersey, campgrounds are closed until further notice, so travelers relying on that park should confirm status before planning a trip. Private parks such as Philadelphia South / Clarksboro KOA Holiday and Homestead Family Campgrounds generally stay open longer, with some extended-season sites.

Norman is fantastic to work with. We just completed our second trip with his van as repeat customers, and it was great yet again. He was incredibly responsive to our needs and questions, and was very flexible to our situation and always very accommodating. The van drives very well and was incredibly comfortable for our family of 4. Highly recommended!

How to book campgrounds near Glenside
Private campgrounds around Glenside take reservations directly. Philadelphia South / Clarksboro KOA Holiday books through the KOA website or app, including patio sites and cabins. Homestead Family Campgrounds uses an online booking system for RV, tent, and seasonal stays. Village Scene Park and Oak Grove Park and Sales are smaller family-run operations, so calling ahead is the reliable way to confirm availability.
Online reservations for New Jersey state parks can be made at camping.nj.gov when sites are open. For Pennsylvania state park camping, reservations must be made 3 days ahead of arrival and can be made up to 11 months in advance.
For summer weekends and holidays, book eight to twelve weeks out. Shoulder-season trips can often be arranged closer to the date.
What to expect at Glenside-area campgrounds
Campgrounds in this corridor lean suburban or semi-rural rather than backcountry. Sites at Village Scene Park and Oak Grove Park and Sales sit inside residential-style properties with full hookups but limited amenities. Big-rig maneuvering is possible, but sites can feel close together.
Philadelphia South / Clarksboro KOA Holiday offers a more traditional campground layout with pull-through full-hookup sites, patio sites, and cabins. Homestead Family Campgrounds provides wooded sites suited to families.
Expect city traffic on I-95, I-295, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, especially at rush hour. Cell service is strong throughout the area, and SEPTA regional rail is a practical way to visit downtown Philadelphia without driving the RV into the city.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Glenside, PA
How much does an RV rental in Glenside, PA typically cost?
RV rental in Glenside, PA is an affordable way to explore the Philadelphia region. On RVezy, nightly rates generally start around $95 for compact travel trailers, $150 for Class C motorhomes, and $225 and up for larger Class A motorhomes, with most weekend renters spending $450 to $800 total. You can save by booking midweek, traveling in the shoulder seasons of April or October, and filtering for listings with included mileage. For a cheap RV rental in Glenside, look at towable trailers if you already have a capable tow vehicle. Pro tip: message hosts about multi-night discounts, many drop their rates 10 to 15 percent for stays of four nights or more.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Glenside%2C%20PennsylvaniaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Glenside, PA?
Good news for first-time renters: a standard Pennsylvania Class C driver's license, the everyday license most drivers already have, is all you need for nearly every RV on RVezy in Glenside. Pennsylvania only requires a Non-Commercial Class A or Class B license if the RV exceeds 26,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), which is well above the weight of typical Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, and most travel trailers listed locally. To rent on RVezy you must meet the approved driver requirements, which generally means being 25 or older, and your ID is verified through the platform. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit along with your home license and you are ready to roll.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental in Glenside covered if something goes wrong?
Yes, you can book with confidence. Every RV rental in Glenside, PA booked on RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance. During checkout you choose the protection level that fits your trip, and the plan covers eligible damage to the vehicle so you are not exposed to the full cost of repairs. Coverage details, limits, and deductibles vary by plan, so review the options on the booking page before you confirm. Pro tip: if it is your first time renting an RV, upgrading to a higher protection tier is an easy way to add peace of mind for just a few dollars more per night.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Glenside RV trip?
Booking is low-risk. RVezy, not the host, sets the cancellation policy for every rental, and it includes a money-back grace period after booking so you have time to confirm your plans. Refunds beyond that window depend on how far in advance you cancel. If a host needs to cancel, RVezy helps you find a comparable RV or provides a full refund or credit. Our support team is available before, during, and after your trip if anything unexpected comes up, including weather events like the nor'easters that occasionally roll through southeastern Pennsylvania. Pro tip: lock in popular summer weekends early, then finalize your itinerary, the cancellation policy gives you flexibility if plans change.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Glenside?
Absolutely, your dog is welcome on plenty of trips. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to instantly see every pet-friendly RV rental in Glenside, and message the host to share your pup's size and breed before booking. Pennsylvania state parks allow leashed pets on designated campsites at most campgrounds, including nearby Tyler State Park in Newtown and Evansburg State Park in Collegeville. Locally, Wissahickon Valley Park's Forbidden Drive trail is a favorite leashed-dog walk just minutes from Glenside. Pro tip: pack a collapsible water bowl, the Wissahickon trails get warm in July and August and shaded creek access is a lifesaver.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/Pages/Pets.aspxCan the RV be delivered to me in Glenside?
Yes, RV delivery in Glenside is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you would rather skip navigating Cheltenham Township's narrow residential streets or driving through Philadelphia. Many RVezy hosts will deliver and set up your motorhome rental in Glenside directly at your campsite, driveway, or a nearby campground like Fort Washington State Park (about 10 minutes north) or Green Lane Park in Montgomery County. Filter listings using the Delivery option to see hosts who offer this service, then message them with your destination for a delivery quote. Pro tip: delivery often pays for itself once you factor in fuel, tolls on I-276, and the stress of driving a big rig out of a dense suburb.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Glenside%2C%20PennsylvaniaHow far can I drive on an RV rental from Glenside?
Glenside is one of the best launch pads in the Northeast for an RV road trip, with countless destinations within an easy day's drive. Hosts on RVezy set their own mileage policies, with many offering 100 to 150 free miles per day and some offering RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for longer adventures. Popular routes include the Pocono Mountains (about 90 miles north), Lancaster's Amish Country (70 miles west), the Jersey Shore at Cape May (95 miles southeast), Gettysburg (130 miles west), and Shenandoah National Park in Virginia (about 230 miles south). Pro tip: filter for unlimited-mileage listings if you are planning anything past the Poconos.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Glenside%2C%20PennsylvaniaWhere are the best campgrounds near Glenside, PA?
You have great options within an hour of Glenside. Fort Washington State Park (about 10 minutes north in Montgomery County) offers a quiet wooded setting close to home, though note its campground is limited and seasonal, so always check availability. Green Lane Park (around 23 miles northwest) has family-friendly campsites along a 1,700-acre reservoir, and Tohickon Valley Park in Point Pleasant (about 24 miles north) sits along the scenic Tohickon Creek in Bucks County. Tyler State Park near Newtown is great for cyclists and day use. For full-hookup RV camping in Glenside's broader area, Little Red Barn Campground in Quakertown is highly rated. Pro tip: book Pennsylvania state park sites up to 11 months ahead through the official DCNR reservation system, summer weekends fill fast.
pennsylvaniastateparks.reserveamerica.com/When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Glenside?
You can plan a great Glenside RV trip from late April through late October, but the sweet spot is mid-May through mid-June and again from mid-September through mid-October. Daytime highs sit in the comfortable 70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit, humidity is lower than peak summer, and the surrounding Bucks and Montgomery County countryside is at its most photogenic, with wildflowers in spring and brilliant foliage in fall. July and August bring 85 to 90 degree heat and afternoon thunderstorms, so target campgrounds with electric hookups so you can run the air conditioning. Pro tip: early October is peak leaf-peeping season in the Poconos, only about 90 minutes north, and the views are unbeatable.
weather.gov/phi/I have never driven an RV before, will I be okay?
You absolutely will be. First time renting an RV in Glenside? Every RVezy host provides a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving tips, hookups, slides, awnings, and dump procedures, so you are never left guessing. Pick a Class B campervan or a smaller Class C motorhome (around 22 to 25 feet) for an easier first drive, since they handle similar to a large van. Glenside's tree-lined residential streets near Easton Road can be tight, so plan your first turns onto wider routes like PA-309 or Limekiln Pike. Pro tip: do a quick parking-lot practice loop at a large lot like Willow Grove Park Mall before heading to your campground, ten minutes of practice builds huge confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360002180594-For-GuestsWhat if my RV breaks down during my trip?
You are never on your own. Every RV rental in Glenside booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you are 5 miles down PA-611 or 200 miles into the Poconos. Roadside covers common issues like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. Your host is also a direct resource for quirks specific to their RV. Pro tip: snap a photo of the roadside assistance number and your host's contact info during your walkthrough so it is easy to find, cell signal can dip in the wooded ridges near Worlds End and Ricketts Glen State Parks.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Glenside RV rental into other states or Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is absolutely on the table and Glenside is perfectly placed for it. From here you can be in New Jersey within 30 minutes, Delaware in under an hour, Maryland in about two hours, and New York City in around two hours. Cross-border travel into Canada may be allowed depending on the host and the protection plan you select, so message the host before booking to confirm and review your coverage options at checkout. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. Pro tip: a popular cross-state RV road trip from Glenside loops through the Catskills in New York and back via the Delaware Water Gap, all doable in a long weekend.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Glenside RV trip?
Fuel is easy to estimate once you know your RV class. Class B campervans average 18 to 22 miles per gallon, Class C motorhomes get 10 to 14 MPG, and larger Class A motorhomes typically return 7 to 10 MPG. Check current Pennsylvania gas prices on AAA before your trip, with diesel a bit higher than regular unleaded. For a 300-mile weekend loop in a Class C, plan on roughly $100 to $140 in fuel at recent price levels. Pro tip: fill up in Bucks or Montgomery County before heading into Philadelphia, suburban stations along PA-309 and US-202 are usually 15 to 25 cents cheaper than city stations.
gasprices.aaa.com/?state=PAHow far in advance should I book a campground near Glenside?
The earlier the better, but you have options at every timeline. Pennsylvania state parks like Fort Washington, Tyler, and French Creek accept reservations up to 11 months in advance through the official DCNR reservation system, and popular summer weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day often sell out 2 to 4 months ahead. Private campgrounds in Bucks and Montgomery counties typically open bookings 6 to 12 months out. For a last-minute Glenside RV trip, midweek sites are usually available within a week. Pro tip: set up a free alert on Campnab, you will get a text when cancellations open up at otherwise sold-out PA state parks.
pennsylvaniastateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are local driving conditions like around Glenside?
Glenside is very driveable, but a little planning makes it stress-free. The township sits just north of Philadelphia, so I-276 (Pennsylvania Turnpike), I-476 (Blue Route), and US-1 carry heavy commuter traffic on weekdays from 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6:30 p.m., best avoided in a larger RV. Many narrow streets near Keswick Village and the SEPTA Glenside station have low-hanging trees and on-street parking, so plan your route on wider arteries like PA-611 (Old York Road) and PA-309. Winters bring occasional snow and slush from December to February. Pro tip: ask your host for delivery if you are heading straight to a campground, it bypasses urban driving entirely.
511pa.com/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Glenside?
Most campgrounds near Glenside are well equipped for a comfortable RV stay. Pennsylvania state parks like French Creek offer modern sites with potable water spigots, flush toilets, hot showers, picnic tables, and fire rings, with full-hookup sites available at select parks. Private parks in the region typically offer 30/50-amp electric, water, sewer, free Wi-Fi, laundry, and a camp store. Dump stations are available at virtually every RV-friendly campground in the area. Pro tip: fill your fresh water tank before leaving the host's home if you plan to stay at a rustic site, not every PA state park campsite has a hookup at the pad.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/WhatToDo/Camping/Pages/default.aspxWhat is included inside a typical RV rental in Glenside?
You will be pleasantly surprised by how well equipped these RVs are. A typical campervan or motorhome rental in Glenside on RVezy comes with comfortable beds (queens and bunks depending on size), a kitchen with stove, fridge, microwave and cookware, a bathroom with toilet and shower, a furnace and air conditioner, and seatbelted travel seats. Many rigs also include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and onboard generator for off-grid power. Wi-Fi is sometimes included or available as an add-on. Pro tip: check the listing's amenities section and message the host about anything specific (like a coffee maker or kid-friendly bunks), most Glenside hosts are happy to throw in extras for free.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Glenside%2C%20PennsylvaniaWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
You have flexibility to customize your trip. Most Glenside RVezy hosts offer popular add-ons like linens and towel packages, camp chairs and outdoor tables, generators or extra propane, bike racks, and kitchen kits, typically ranging from about $15 to $60 each. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Glenside, Abington, or Jenkintown, and the walkthrough takes 30 to 60 minutes. Mileage policies vary, with many hosts offering 100 to 150 free miles per day and unlimited-mileage options available, perfect for an RV road trip from Glenside to the Poconos or the Jersey Shore. Pro tip: bundle add-ons rather than buying gear, you will save money and trunk space, especially for a one-time family RV trip weekend.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Glenside%2C%20PennsylvaniaHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure. When you book an RV rental in Glenside on RVezy, your trip total (nightly rate, fees, and any add-ons) is charged through the platform using a credit or debit card, so there is no cash exchange with the host. A refundable security deposit is held separately before pickup, with the amount set by the host and shown at checkout, and it is released after your trip once the RV is returned in the condition you picked it up. Avoid issues by photographing the interior and exterior at pickup and drop-off. Pro tip: do the walkthrough with your host slowly, note any existing scratches or stains together, and you will have zero surprises when your deposit is refunded.
