Brandywine Creek/Birchview Farm in PA

This is a follow up for everyone. We chose Brandywine Creek because of the close proximity to everything we had planned while here. It turned out to be a good decision. (Although I did question it as we were driving in.) To access the campground from Hwy. 30, the roads leading to it was very curvy, narrow and had lots of low hanging limbs. It is not a trek for the faint of heart. But we made it ok.
The campground itself is very well kept. There are lots of seasonal/permanent parked units but they are all in good condition. Owner is very friendly. Wifi is very fast and reliable. Water is good quality and seems to be city water. They also have recycle bins available. This is the first park we have stayed in that recycles.
A small creek borders the campground and it also has a small pond. I would return again if in this area.

Stayed at Brandywine Creek Campground in 2011. Nice little place as I recall. Windy 2-lane road getting in. It was the first trip with our new trailer. Not much going on there but it was the closest place I could find to Sesame Place over in Langhorne, where we spent most of our time.

We live in Downingtown, and the closest campground would be Brandywine Creek Campground-right next to Marsh Creek. It's only about 10 minutes away from town. Have driven through, and it's really a cute, clean little place. Stopped and talked to the owner and they seemed really nice. Nice sites-some pull-throughs right next to the creek. This would certainly be the closest for you.

Country Haven fills up in the fall, especially for their up front sites with nice views of the valley. Spring Gulch is so large you should have no problems getting a site. Birchview shouldn't be an issue either.

Thanks to all who responded. We are still not sure exactly which one we will stay in. Not too concerned about reservations so far in advance this time of year. I am going to try to decide today. Really want to be as close to Downingtown as we can.

French Creek is decent, and some sites have electric. We stayed at Country Haven last year and it was pretty nice, and reasonably priced. It is definitely tailored to older people and not families with kids. I've never been to Hidden Acres.

We live in the area, so tend to leave the area to camp. There is French Creek State Park if you're looking to go that route.

Hidden Acres. Never been there, just know it's there.

Been to Birchview many times. It's a decent and cheap place to stay, if you aren't looking for activities/frills. We stay in the front area down by the pond - those are the transient sites and they are fairly open. The sites in the back and up the hill are mostly seasonal and the roads are narrow and winding - you don't want to be up there with a 40' coach. The CG has a pretty nice pool, but that won't be relevant off season. The store also has a small grill for getting some kinds of food.

These are a little further west on PA 897.
