Bensalem Pa.

Anyone have any suggestions for a place to stay overnight around the Bensalem Pa area? Parx Casino no longer allows overnighting, and we will be going there for a show. I found a Wal-Mart nearby; anyone familiar with it? Can't find any campgrounds in the vicinity either.
  • We have overnighted at the Cracker Barrel at the end of the Jersey Pike. Hotel right next door large parking lot nice and safe.
  • The Brendan T Byrne State Park in New Jersey has $20 dry camping sites, and should only be about 30 miles over the state line coming from Bensalem, and kind of on the way to cape may

    I work in Bensalem and would not stay in my RV anywhere close to Parx Casino...

    I do see a few big trucks that stay in the Wally parking lot, but not many RV’s..The closest campground is probably an hour or more away.


    Wonderful, that will make my wife feel warm and fuzzy inside!


    A few years back, I had my vehicle broken into while I was at the Outback Steakhouse across the street.. When talking to the Police, they stated that the crime in the area exploded the month that the casino opened..
    I am not saying it is a bad area, it's not, there are just a lot of opportunistic criminals that are around and they take stuff because they figure there is money there..

    As far as Paulsboro NJ, I keep forgetting about that as we don't spend time in that area. It will take you 45 minutes - 1 hour to make that trip. We pass Paulsboro on the way to CW in Bridgeport, NJ
  • Thanks, seems like I will start looking for something in the NJ area for the night, and then head down to Cape May for a few days.

  • I have seen campers in the Walmart by Neshaminy mall on Horizon Blvd.
  • There is a KOA near Paulsboro, NJ that is 45 min. away.
