Clean facilities: Consistently mentioned across reviews are the well-maintained restrooms at most Amish Country campgrounds. A Berlin RV Park visitor notes: "SPOTLESS bathrooms and I mean SPOTLESS. Lots to do for kids. Sand Volleyball, basketball court, tetherball, corn hole area and playground."
Winter camping options: Zion Retreat & RV Park offers scenic stays during quieter seasons. "We camped here the second weekend in December and had the park mostly to ourselves. There were only 3 other campers there. It was a great place to stay. The game room was nice as well as the indoor pool," reports a winter visitor to Evergreen Park.
What you should know
Site layout variations: Campsites have different configurations requiring preparation. "The one and only issue is that water and electricity is located in the rear area of RV, while sewer connections are toward the front. I personally used 50' of water line and 30' of sewer line," explains a visitor at Scenic Hills RV Park.
Seasonal timing: Most RV parks in the region operate from April through October/November, with limited year-round options. Evergreen Park RV Resort remains open through winter while Berlin RV Park closes in December.
Limited shade coverage: Some parks feature open fields with minimal tree cover. "Has little if any shade on hot summer days," notes a Scenic Hills RV Park reviewer. "Asked for a shaded area...got a perfect one that had shade all day," reports another camper, suggesting specific site requests are worthwhile.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: Whispering Hills Jellystone offers numerous recreation options. "Great activities including mini golf, pool, jumping pad and frisbee golf. Cabins and RV spots available," writes a visitor to Whispering Hills Jellystone RV Park.
Fishing for kids: Some parks offer easy fishing access ideal for younger anglers. "My boys were able to walk across the road to get to the pond that was well stocked with fish. It was catch and release but they were very excited to pull in some big ones," mentions another Whispering Hills visitor.
Varied campground atmospheres: Parks cater to different preferences with varying noise levels and activities. "If you have children there is little if anything at all for them here. (I personally did not see anything, however wasn't looking) is mostly older adults camping here so very quiet," notes a Scenic Hills RV Park camper, indicating it may better suit mature campers.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling considerations: Some campsites require more effort for proper leveling. Berlin RV Park offers pull-through sites that tend to provide better leveling options.
Hookup planning: Prepare for longer hose runs at certain parks. At Scenic Hills RV Park, water and electric connections positioned at the rear of sites with sewer connections toward the front require additional planning.
Winter camping options: Countryside Campground offers larger pull-through sites with good utility access. "We stayed here in a 29'Tt, 3 kids, 2 dogs. Well kept smaller campground. Kids trick or treated and all campers were very friendly," notes a visitor. "Clean campground, lots to do! Dog friendly! Lake Accessible."
