About this campground
Where the Delaware River curves through lower Bucks County, Neshaminy State Park unfolds across 339 acres of riverside paradise. This beloved waterfront destination beckons families and adventurers alike with its sparkling swimming pools, bustling boat launches, and shaded picnic groves. Miles of winding trails lead explorers through diverse landscapes, from sandy riverbanks to wooded glens, creating the perfect backdrop for both relaxation and recreation.
While Neshaminy State Park offers a range of day-use amenities, it does not currently offer designated camping areas, including primitive, RV, or tent camping opportunities.
Historical SignificanceStep into centuries of American history at Neshaminy State Park, where the past whispers through ancient trees and historic pathways. The land itself tells a colonial tale, gifted to the public in 1956 by the estate of Robert R. Logan, whose lineage traces back to James Logan, the trusted secretary of Pennsylvania's founder William Penn. Adventure seekers will find themselves traveling along Dunks Ferry Road at the park's western edge—a route that has welcomed travelers since 1679, making it one of the Commonwealth's most storied thoroughfares.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the full spectrum of Pennsylvania's seasons at Neshaminy, where each time of year paints the landscape in different hues. Crisp winters bring a peaceful quietude to the trails, with moderate snowfall transforming the park into a serene wonderland. As spring arrives in its full glory during late May and early June, the park awakens with perfect camping weather. Summer transforms Neshaminy into a aquatic playground, though the warm, humid days make those riverside breezes and pool dips all the more refreshing.
ElevationThe park's gentle topography creates an accessible outdoor experience for visitors of all abilities, with terrain that flows naturally from the riverfront areas to the inland portions of the park.
Natural Features and SceneryThe Delaware River serves as Neshaminy's crown jewel, its waters reflecting sky and season in an ever-changing panorama. Sandy beaches invite barefoot wandering, while the river's edge provides front-row seats to spectacular sunrises and the daily parade of boats and wildlife. Throughout the park, a network of nature trails weaves through varied ecosystems, offering intimate encounters with the natural world and countless opportunities for discovery around each bend.
Geological RegionNestled in the heart of lower Bucks County's river country, this 339-acre sanctuary takes its name from the historic Neshaminy Creek that has shaped the region for millennia. The park's diverse landscape showcases the Delaware River Valley's characteristic blend of riverine and upland environments, where sandy deposits meet fertile woodlands. This unique positioning creates a variety of recreational zones—from waterfront activities at the boat launches to family gatherings in tree-lined picnic areas to refreshing swims in the park's popular pools.
