This is a very nice state park with lots of hiking & bicycling trails, and 2 lakes. It's one of the few state park campgrounds in PA that is open year round and allows pets. The sites are large and wooded. The parking pad is paved and raised above the rest of the site so you can't really put out your rug or awning too easily. We were in the pets allowed loop, which was completely full. The other loops had spaces available and looked quieter. Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site is a nice trail walk from the campground, and is well worth the visit. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We’ve been to French Creek numerous times and as always this is a very busy and crowded campground, especially on weekends. Campground is set up into 4 loops. The A and D loops are non-electric and the B and C loops have a mix of electric / non-electric sites. C loop also has a limited number of pet sites. Entire campground is located within a very wooded area, most sites are well shaded. Our site had a nice and level asphalt pad for parking, picnic table and fire ring. Be aware, the online reservation site said our campsite was setup to accommodate a 40’ motor home. Once I backed my small 20’ trailer onto the “extremely” narrow pad there was no possible way for me to deploy my awning. The parking pad and barely 2 feet of ground around it suddenly sloped approximately 3’ down into the area of the table and fire ring. The “sitting and cooking” area for our site was over 20’ behind and below our trailer. On some of the adjacent sites this was more like 50’ to 70’ away from your parking pad. In my opinion these sites were setup more like a “walk in” tent site. Someone who likes to “set up shop” under their awning and next to their rig would be completely disappointed with these sites. Rangers patrolled often. Rest rooms were dated, but clean. Only 2 shower per loop required some waiting time on the weekend. Ranger programs were excellent. No trash cans within the camping loops, so a nightly trip to the dumpsters by the registration hut is required. Hiking trails are numerous and very rewarding. We camped here in August and it was very hot, muggy and buggy. This campground is not in the mountains so you don’t get the cooling effect of being in higher elevations. Campground is very close to home and is rather convenient for us. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Even though I am not a resident of PA, I think it's nice when a state is willing to favor it’s citizens with any discount. Even senior citizens receive a small discount. Too bad my own home state doesn't offer the same perks. French Creek State Park is located about 30 minutes from an outlet mall outside Reading, PA, so that was OUR ulterior reason for choosing this particular park. Over the last two months, we have also decided that state parks generally to fit our camping needs a little better than the private campgrounds. So we were anxious to see how French Creek stacked up against the two state parks we had visited in western New York. Quiet hours are supposed to be from 9pm to 9am with the park divided into four main areas (loops); one loop dedicated to campers with pets. About half of the sites have electricity and none have water or sewer hookups. Despite this, the vast majority of sites are spacious and wooded, making them attractive to both tent campers and RV'ers alike. Judging from the number of hikers spotted and the dense forest around the park, there must be some marvelous trails available. We did not visit the pool or rest rooms so cannot comment of either of these. French Creek State Park is well worth a revisit. The sites are generally shady and can accommodate large rigs, although they just announced a new policy that will allow only one vehicle per site beginning later this month (Aug. 2007). Reservations are strongly recommended, especially if camping on a weekend. Also be sure to follow the directions obtained from the park website. We made the mistake of relying entirely on our GPS and ended up snaking our way thru the countryside. We camped here in a Motorhome.
