Allentown KOA

The Great Outdoors

When you rent a camper near Allentown KOA, you’re less than an hour’s drive from Crystal Cave near Kutztown in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Being a "show cave," it's a family-friendly curiosity filled with a wealth of crystalline formations. Join a one-hour guided tour of the caves to learn more of its history and geology.Allentown campers may also want to plan a day trip to the Hawk Mountain Bird Sanctuary during the spring migration (April 1 to May 15) when the number of migrating raptors soars and your chances of seeing several species of hawks, falcons, and eagles increase. Fall migration peaks in September-October. Any other time of the year, come and explore the trails ranging in grade from wheel-chair accessible (Silhouette Trail) to popular (Lookout Trail) to challenging (Escarpment Trail, which requires scrambling).Boaters and anglers may want to visit the 5,000-acre rolling landscape of Nockamixon State Park. Several creeks feed the lake of the same name which yields abundant walleye, muskellunge, and pickerel. The lake is also a rest stop of migrating waterfowl so you'll have good chances of spotting grebes, swans and loons, and some 250 species of birds. Give your legs a good workout on the paved bike trail as you listen to warblers, orioles, and vireos, or take an invigorating hike on several difficult trails like the Sterner Mill Hiking Area, the High Bridge Trail, and the Old Mill Trail. Some parts of the park are ADA-accessible.
