Group Tent Campsite near Philadelphia?
I am part of a group of 10 friends or so that want to go camping for a weekend near Philadelphia. All of us are either 17 or 18. We are looking for a place that does not have modern accessories (like what KOA and most state campgrounds have) and is isolated from other campsites. It seems impossible to find a place that is not like a KOA, not a BSA reservation, and can accommodate more than 5 people. Another problem is that for group tent campground places they require it to be an organized group, which we are not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
