Overview
A brief introduction to French Creek State Park
French Creek State Park is a 7,977-acre (3,228 ha) Pennsylvania state park in North Coventry and Warwick Townships in Chester County and Robeson and Union Townships in Berks County, Pennsylvania. It straddles northern Chester County and southern Berks County along French Creek. It is located in the Hopewell Big Woods. The park is the home of two lakes: Hopewell Lake, a 68-acre (28 ha) warm water lake, and Scotts Run Lake, a 22-acre (8.9 ha) cold water lake. The state record smallmouth bass was caught in Scotts Run Lake. There are extensive forests, and almost 40 miles (64 km) of hiking and equestrian trails. The park is also friendly to mountain bikers, having some renowned technical trails. Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site, which features a cold blast furnace restored to its 1830s appearance, is surrounded by the park. The Six Penny Day Use Area and Group Camp are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. French Creek State Park is located off of Pennsylvania Route 345 to the south of Birdsboro.
French Creek State Park was chosen by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and its Bureau of State Parks as one of "25 Must-See Pennsylvania State Parks".

Camper reviews for French Creek State Park
Great spot, hosts a little intense
We love this spot, but this year the hosts were a little aggressive. As soon as we pulled in the wife was in our site demanding payment. No way to pay online, so before we were even set up, had to head in town and get cash. The minute we were back the husband was in our site to collect payment. Then he informs me I can't carry my side arm, despite the fact that absolutely no signs are posted or rules stated any where that firearms are not allowed. I understand gun safety, but telling me I can't carry in a state park? I'm just saying some people need to read the bill of rights.....
