    The Loose Caboose Campground

    Quiet w/ spacious sites

    No frills or extras at the campground, but great place to set up camp! This campground has spacious level sites with gravel pads, full hookups, and fire rings. A great location to stay in proximity to lots of Lancaster attractions/activities. Owners were both very helpful and friendly. The campground is currently offering a Coronavirus Camper Stimulus package (see their website for promotions) based on the PA re-opening phases when we went. This made an already affordable campground even more affordable while allowing people the opportunity to get out of the house and enjoy nature.

    Some great hiking and biking trails nearby not to mention a nice area to walk in the woods at the top of the campgrounds mountain. We specifically went to two different sections of the Enola Low Grade Trail about 20 & 30 minutes away. Our favorite was along the Susquehanna River in Manor Township.

    This isn't a resort, but if you need a place to wind down, have a fire w/ some peace and quiet, and camp this place is nice. Some rundown trailers and an old falling apart house in the campground that take away from it's beauty is the only reason I gave it a 4.

    We have a 31' travel trailer and we had Site 62 at top of mountain which we fit into fine. The sites are mostly back-in sites. All the sites at the top were just as awesome!

    Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina

    RV Park surrounded by water!

    Our first visit (March 2018) was just prior to peak season (lower rates) and we had a site literally 10 ft. from the water! Full hook ups and sites were a little close, but nice. There seemed to be a lot of long term/permanent residents, but most sites along the waterfront remained open. The campground seemed to stress pet restrictions both in the rules section of their registration packet and signage around the grounds. There was a pet exercise/walking area, but could use some sprucing up. However, no one really made an issue of walking your dog around the campground and as the weekend came around, more and more dogs were around.

    You have to drive through a residential neighborhood to reach Bar Harbor, so big rigs take care/caution. Would like to try Bar Harbor again sometime.

    Country Acres Campground

    Clean, quiet, and really nice

    Our first trip of 2023 was to Country Acres Campground in Gordonville, PA. And what a great campground to start our season! This is a great spot for visiting Pennsylvania Amish of Lancaster County and about a one-hour drive to Hersheypark. 

    Our site(# 837) was a good size for our motor home+ toad. It was level and covered in gravel, like all sites and roadways within the campground. Our site had full hookups, decent wi-fi, cable TV, a picnic table, fire ring, and nicely kept grassy area between sites. 

    Becci was super nice at check-in and check-out. They offer a 2:00 pm check-out which we enjoyed. And there are free tickets available for the Amish Farmland Bus Tour. There’s a small, basic tree at the front office. The pool wasn’t yet opened for our stay. They offered a 10% Good Sam discount(which is nice). 

    Bottom line: We had a great time at Country Acres Campground and can’t wait to go back! 

    THINGS I LIKED: 

    • Clean and well-maintained property 

    • Quiet campground with friendly neighbors 

    • All of the RVs appeared well-maintained with no seasonal sites 

    • Easy access from Route 30

    Old Mill Stream Campground

    Good stay

    The entrance in off the main road turns you into the theme park. Fear not. Turn in and follow the road to the right and into the campground. We stayed on site 123 with a 40 ft Allegro Bus. Plenty of room to maneuver a big rig. All gravel sites and we had full hookup with 50 Amp.

    Philadelphia-West Chester KOA

    Great campground west of Philadelphia

    We spent the Memorial Day weekend at Philadelphia/ West Chester KOA Holiday in Coatesville, PA and had a good time. 

    We paid$135/night for Back-in Patio Site#25. A bit pricey considering the lack of elbow room, but it’s a great site and everything is well-kept. There was just barely enough room for the motorhome and Jeep Wrangler. 

    I did have major trouble backing in because the road is too narrow for a 45’ motorhome to back in on a nearly 90-degree angle. So difficult, that I cracked the bottom of my front cap catching the grass and gravel beside the grave road. I think this would’ve otherwise been a 5-star review.Don’t stay in this site in a big motorhome. The trailers/5th wheels seem better because they ‘bend’ at the hitch. 

    THINGS I LIKED: 

    • Great site(once you’re in it!) including patio furniture on a paver patio and seating around an upgraded fire pit. The landscaping made up for the tight squeeze. 

    • Clean and level gravel site with well-maintained utility hook-ups. 

    • Close to Longwood Gardens; Wilmington, Delaware; and a handful of local museums and gardens. Not too far from Philadelphia. 

    • Super friendly staff. Every interaction with employees was extremely nice. Other campgrounds and even hotels can learn a lot from these folks. 

    • The whole park is quiet and well-maintained. 

    THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH: 

    • Heads up, big rig owners! Tight squeeze into Site 25. 

    • Get cozy, the sites are quite small and tightly packed together. 

    WOULD WE COME BACK? 

    • Absolutely, this is a nice campground staffed by super nice people with plenty to see and do in the area.

    Lancaster-New Holland KOA

    Beautiful view

    Great no frills place to relax. No activities and not much open for touristy stuff due to Covid 19. But the daily views of fields, farmers plowing with horses or the buggys going by was great. The road seems highly traveled surring weekdays so I would suggest a site far from it. Pull throughs offer the best views. Some buddy sites also available in pull through area. Small dog park, too small for our two labs.

    We were in site 50 for this trip, however if you have a decent sized rig I would steer clear of this row. The road for this row is narrow and there is a fence that makes backing in more difficult, especially for a 30+ ft travel trailer. The photo I included with the line of trees is a wider road, there is no fence and the sites are angled better for easy back in.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Beautiful, large wooded sites and lots of hiking trails

    This is a nicely laid out campground with 4 loops and many site choices - non-electric, electric and full hookup sites (water, sewer and electricity); a couple yurts; and 3 camping cottages. (There are cabins elsewhere in the park.) We just showed up on a Wednesday in early October but I'm sure you'd need a reservation on a weekend.

    Activities

    • See the photo that shows 35 miles of hiking trails. It's an excellent brochure! Some trails are hiking only; others allow mountain biking in addition to hiking, and there are equestrian trails.

    • Boating and fishing

    • Swimming pool by Hopewell Lake

    • Disc golf

    • Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site is on your way to the campground.

    The Sites

    • See photo of the campground map along with typical site photos.

    • 4 loops: no electricity in A and D, mix of electric and non-electric sites in B, and a mix of full hookups, electric and non-electric sites in C. Loop C is the only loop open all year with no guarantee of access in the winter.

    • Asphalt pads are all supposed to be 45 feet.

    • The sites looked level but many of the pads in Loop A were just a bit downhill as you back in. That means our heads are downhill for sleeping unless we turn our teardrop trailer, so we just looked until we found a level site. If you're into leveling a camper, it's not a big deal. We can adjust our back end, but we don't mess around with anything else. It is what it is!

    • There are water spigots around the loops and recycling/trash disposal and a dump station on your way in/out.

    • Site map shows some ADA accessible sites.

    New Restrooms Are Worth Noting

    • See photos.

    • Push button showers. You can't adjust the temperature and you have to keep pushing the button every 30 seconds or so. I guess this saves water.

    • Two utility sinks outside the restrooms are a good addition.

    Pet Owners: Pets are only allowed in loop C.

    A Couple Warnings

    • PA state parks do not allow alcoholic beverages at all. That's what they say.

    • Hunting is permitted in most of the state park. That would put a real damper on my hiking at certain times of the year because the hiking trails run right through these areas.

    Thousand Trails Circle M

    Beautiful place, awesome people

    I loved this campground! I'm not a huge fan of the "go find a site" policy they have, but it worked out fine. I got an amazingly large site with a nice fire pit and picnic table. The site was very level so that was great! Nice indoor and outdoor pools! Cable TV isn't free, but I never use it anyway. Wifi too isn't free and only available is certain areas. Verizon cell service is weak but useable. I'll definitely be back!

    Mill Bridge Village & Camp Resort

    Not our cup of tea

    We really don’t care for RV parks but occasionally, we decide to check one out. We found this place because we were looking for a covered bridge that, it turns out, used to be on the property but had been sold and moved! There was nothing wrong, per se, about this family-owned facility, except that we travel in a small camper van (we tend to live OUT of our van, not IN it) so RV facilities generally don’t appeal to us. The sites are very close together, like parking spaces, and afford no privacy between them. This is typical for an RV park. Sites range from 50 amp W/E/S, to 30 amp W/E. Some sites also have cable. WiFi is available and free for the first seven days of your stay. There is also a non-working mill, a pool, a game room, a camp store, and fishing access on the property. The staff person in the office was very friendly and helpful; if you like RV parks and want to explore Amish country in southern Pennsylvania, this would be an ideal location for you to stay but we decided to move on.


Guide to Elkton

Recreational vehicle camping near Elkton, Maryland offers locations near the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries within 30 miles of the town. The region has a moderate climate with summer temperatures averaging 85°F and winter lows around 30°F. Most campgrounds in the area remain open between April and November, with a few offering year-round access for cold-weather camping.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Elk Neck State Park Campground provides access to fishing in the rivers and bay. "We saw bald eagles and great blue heron," notes one camper who enjoyed the waterfront setting.

Lighthouse visits: Turkey Point Lighthouse near Elk Neck State Park Campground offers historical sightseeing. "The lighthouse and the view are definitely worth it," recommends one visitor who suggests driving to the trailhead then hiking to complete the journey.

Miniature golf: Spring Gulch Resort Campground offers on-site mini-golf for families. A visitor notes, "Mini golf was fun but need to be regreened...several holes needed maintenance," suggesting the activity remains popular despite needing some upkeep.

Kayaking and canoeing: The waterways around Elkton provide paddling opportunities. At Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina, "the water wasn't but a few steps away. Some sites you are right on the waters edge," making water access particularly convenient for paddlers.

What campers like

Waterfront camping: Many rv parks near Elkton feature waterfront sites. One camper at Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina shared, "The daily waterfront sites are pricy but right on the water with great views. Some of the trailer sites are a tough back in but worth the trouble."

Spacious sites: Campgrounds in the region often provide ample room between sites. A visitor to Lums Pond State Park Campground observed, "Beautiful park setting with fantastic site— spacious, level, good-working hookups, and paved."

Clean facilities: Many Elkton area campgrounds maintain high cleanliness standards. At Thousand Trails Circle M, campers appreciate "Super clean and nice people!" with another noting "Laundry is coin or app operated. Putt putt is still open and fun, so is playground. Arcade was open."

Organized activities: Campgrounds frequently schedule entertainment for guests. Sun Valley Campground runs concerts that impressed one seasonal camper: "The Saturday night bands are concert worthy. We have enjoyed our stay more than you ever imagined."

What you should know

Reservation timing: Many campgrounds fill quickly, especially during peak season. For Lums Pond State Park, a visitor advises, "Book early because it fills up fast!"

Site selection considerations: When booking at Lake-In-Wood Campground, understand site limitations. "The roads were very tight and you really had to watch how you drove through because of the trees. Our site was a drive-through but slanted," reports one camper.

Seasonal availability: Most rv parks near Elkton operate on seasonal schedules. Spring Gulch Resort Campground runs from "Mar 21 - Dec 1" while Sun Valley Campground operates from "April 1 to November 1."

Varying quality: Facilities can differ dramatically between parks. A visitor checking Delaware Motel and RV Park noted serious concerns: "This is a run down hotel with 'long term' rv campers. I felt unsafe enough and uncomfortable enough that I never even got out of my car."

Tips for camping with families

Entertainment options: Spring Gulch Resort Campground offers multiple family activities. "Lots of amenities for families including mini golf, an arcade, pools, fishing ponds, etc. Not to mention live music on the weekends!" shares one satisfied visitor.

Playground access: Many campgrounds feature play areas for children. At Lums Pond, one parent reported, "Our daughter really enjoyed the playground (which was excellent, by my standards). The only complaint I have is that the kiddie swings seem to be modeled after the seasickness machine."

Seasonal events: Holiday weekends often feature special programming. At Thousand Trails Circle M, one camper mentioned, "We went for Halloween, they had plenty for kids to do and was a pretty nice park."

Cabin options: For families without camping equipment, cabins provide an alternative. Lake-In-Wood Campground offers unique accommodations: "Some cabins, like those in my photos, are brand new and have everything you would need to set up house minus linens, towels, toilet paper, paper goods and toiletries."

Tips from RVers

Navigating tight spaces: Many rv parks around Elkton have challenging access roads. At Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina, "You have to drive through a residential neighborhood to reach Bar Harbor, so big rigs take care/caution."

Site surface conditions: RV pads vary between parks. At Elk Neck State Park Campground, "Sites were level, spacious, spaced apart, with packed gravel surface. Back in and pull through sites available."

Seasonal hookup considerations: Winter campers should note potential water restrictions. One RVer at Bar Harbor mentioned they were "told to turn off and unhook water the night it dropped below freezing."

Hookup placement issues: Setup challenges can occur due to utilities placement. A camper at Lums Pond State Park's older section reported, "The site offered electric and water but they were on 2 different sides. This made it difficult to set up. Had to park the camper crooked to use both."
