Fred J Doberstein Overlook Campground Introduce

Nestled in the picturesque town of Amity Gardens, PA, the Fred J Doberstein Overlook Campground offers a unique and tranquil camping experience for outdoor enthusiasts. Situated along the scenic Schuylkill River trail, this campground is perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape into nature.

The campground features bike-in camping, making it an ideal spot for cyclists exploring the area. The campsite boasts a lovely flat spot right by the river, complete with two large picnic tables, a well-maintained fire ring, and a generous supply of chopped firewood, ensuring a cozy and comfortable stay. The first-come, first-serve policy allows for flexibility, with ample space to accommodate several groups.

Bike-in camping. Lovely flat spot right on the Schuylkill River trail. Two big picnic tables, a nice fire ring, and (at least when I was there) plenty of chopped firewood all stacked and dry. First come, first serve. But room for several groups. 2 mile ride from great gastro pub for dinner (Fork and Ale) and about 15 minutes from a great breakfast spot (Douglasville Cafe). No facilities at all. Note that truck noise from Rte 422 can be heard. I needed ear plugs to be able to sleep.
