A shuttle runs directly from the campground to Hersheypark throughout the day, and for many campers, that's the whole point of staying here. Hersheypark Camping Resort sits just outside Hershey, Pennsylvania, drawing families and RV travelers who want easy access to the amusement park without paying for a hotel. The campground is large and varied, with full-hookup RV sites, tent areas along a small creek, and cabins scattered across different loops.
Site quality varies considerably depending on where you land. The Lazy River Rest loop has spacious, creek-adjacent sites that reviewers consistently praise for their relative quiet and tree cover. The hookup sites closer to the front and central loops are noticeably tighter, some so close together that neighbors' fire rings sit just a few feet from adjacent campers. Shari G. spent two nights near the train tracks before relocating, noting the CSX freight line runs "all night long." The back hill sites face that noise directly, so light sleepers should request sites away from that area when booking.
Amenities are substantial. Full electric, water, and sewer hookups are available for RVs up to 50 feet. The bathrooms draw consistent praise across reviews, described as clean and air-conditioned, with laundry machines in each bathhouse building. There are two pools with lifeguards, a playground, an arcade barn, and a camp store stocked with Hershey goods and basic camping supplies. Trash pickup comes to your site. WiFi is available throughout the resort.
A few practical notes worth knowing before arrival: some sites slope noticeably, the roads through certain loops are narrow with limited turning radius for larger rigs, and winter stays may not include water hookups. The campground allows 18-wheelers in some areas, and at least one reviewer noted noise from a truck parked nearby running its engine through the night. Reservations are available and likely necessary during summer and event weekends, when the campground fills and nearby roads carry convention center traffic. Pets are permitted.
Campers wanting a quieter, less developed experience in the region can explore campgrounds near Hummelstown or consider a stop at Love's Travel Stop — Lebanon for a no-frills overnight.
