The Best Camping Near Newville, Pennsylvania

Our first time at Dogwood Acres Campground.  Was pleasantly surprised as this was just a weekend trip at the end of June to start the season.  When booking the dates earlier in the year, I spoke to a woman in the office who was even willing to drive to a few sites and text me photos since we hadn’t been there before making our final selection. Went the extra mile to ensure we would be happy. 

Was impressed upon driving into the place. Looked clean and tidy. Good signage.  Flat all gravel sites. Clean pool. Pavilion was a nice meeting place. Big pond was pretty. Friendly staff. 

Campground was a mix of seasonal and weekenders.  Lots of trees. Some made pulling in/backing in a bit challenging. 

I’m recommending this campground to our friends to come back together as a group. 

Clean. Friendly.

This is an amazing camp ground. It's run by super nice people. It's close enough to 81 that's it's easy to find but tucked back in that you are not bothered by anyone. 

Great family oriented and owned campground

Clean well kept family owned campground. Located a few miles off 81, in the country surrounded by beautiful views.
It’s a mix campground of seasonal campers and short term campers. Very family oriented. Very nice off leash fenced dog park.

Quiet and Friendly Staff

Very nice family oriented campground nestled against the base of the mountains. I wish there was a better view of the beautiful mountain. Our site was a premium site that included a gas grill. Luckily, no one booked the cabins behind us that weekend or it would have been rather loud as the sites were close together even for a premium site. We were visiting friends in the area and they were able to visit for a small fee. They were then able to utilize the facilities so the kids could swim and play together. Nice playground with a small basketball court. We enjoy staying at state parks more because of the difference in site size but this was a nice change of pace.
