Best RV Parks & Resorts near Newark, MD

639 Reviews

RV campgrounds near Newark, Maryland provide a mix of public and private options with full hookups. Lums Pond State Park Campground in Delaware offers year-round RV sites with 50-amp service, water hookups, and a sanitary dump station. The sites accommodate larger rigs and feature wide spacing for privacy. "The sites are big and spaced far apart. Lots of privacy. Bathhouse new condition," noted one visitor to Lums Pond. Spring Gulch Resort Campground in Pennsylvania operates seasonally from March through December, with big-rig friendly sites and full hookup options including 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer. Elk Neck State Park Campground provides electric, water, and sewer hookups with both 50-amp and 30-amp options, though some sites may present leveling challenges.

Several parks require advance reservations, particularly during summer and fall seasons. Dump station availability varies, with Lums Pond and Elk Neck offering on-site facilities while smaller parks may have limited options. Most campgrounds accept pets with standard restrictions. Propane fill service is limited in the area - Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina is one of the few offering this amenity. Pull-through sites for easier motorhome parking are available at Spring Gulch and Village Scene Park, though availability may be seasonal. Road access considerations include navigating rural roads to reach some parks, with varying degrees of difficulty for larger rigs. Winter camping options are more limited, with Lums Pond State Park being one of the few facilities open year-round with full RV hookups.

    Village Scene Park

    Tucked-Away Community Vibe

    I’m following up on my review from over a year ago with updated insights, additional photos and a quick breakdown of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS: 

    HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Convenient suburban location near Philadelphia yet surprisingly quiet; (2) Full-hookup RV sites with 30 / 50 amp, water, and sewer; (3) Affordable rates compared to other campgrounds in the region; (4) Smaller, tight-knit atmosphere with friendly long-term residents; (5) Pet-friendly, with walking areas and green space; and (6) Nearby restaurants include Franconi’s Pizzeria for classic pies and cheesesteaks and Appalachian Brewing Company with pub fare and house-brewed beers. 

    LOWLIGHTS: (1) Sites are narrow and can feel cramped, so don’t expect big pull-throughs; (2) Limited amenities with no pool, clubhouse, or playground; (3) Grounds feel more like a residential mobile home park than a campground; (4) Some infrastructure is dated and could use upgrades; and (5) Not much in the way of natural scenery because, um, this is urban camping. 

    Happy Camping!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!
