Hersheypark Camping Resort

It is a nice camp ground but the lower drive threw spots are packed together. Our 32' with slides just fit the sight and we had zero room for the truck. They have other spots up on the hill but would have been more of a challenge with our rig. Very clean grounds, clean pool, nice camp store and a short drive to all of the Hershey Park activities. We will visit again.

Great Time 

This was our first campground with our camper. They had pull through sites which I was looking for. Sites were a bit close where we were but they had other sites that were more spread out. Nice pool and great camp store! Unfortunately we weren’t able to do much with the pandemic if full effect. But may be a campground we head back to once everything is back up and running. 

Nice campground across the street from Hersheypark 

We camped right up against the lazy River, the campground was pretty open because it was a weekday. Spots are kind of close, no trees or anything to separate spots. We’re used to that now haha. It had really nice bathrooms and showers. The washers and dryers work awesome, grateful for that! We paid $29 for a no hook up tent site. Very happy with our stay!

Nice facilities, clean campground

This is a great campground right at Hershey Park. It had a free shuttle to the park and Chocolate World! Nice sites, but some are pretty close together. Right on a small creek. Most sites are in the shade. Cabins look nice. The arcade barn is a must see for the kids! 

The official Hershey Park Campground

We stayed on Lazy River Rest “loop” in site L113 which was spacious and sunny. There were trees in the back along the creek that shaded the picnic table a little. This part of the campground is quiet. In the front area it’s very close together and crowded. The area up on the hill in the back is next to the CSX train track that runs 24/7. Lazy River Rest does flood when it rains and our relatives had to relocate their first night until it dried out. We found a brewery, Trogues, that was cool with good food and beer. It was next to the outlets. There is a shuttle to Hershey Park. The campground has a pool but was closed when we were there. There is a camp store with lots of Hershey goods for sale and a small camping supply section. There was a community fire pit over by the pool. To bathhouse was centrally located and clean. There was a dish washing station too. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. 

Quiet and spacious site

This campground has a little something for everyone, from full hook up sites neatly stacked next to each other, to quiet patches of grass next to the river. After spending two nights up in the electrical hook-up area closest to the train tracks, we decided that we needed a better night’s sleep. Yes, the trains run all night long, and no, we don’t have air conditioning so couldn't just close the windows. So, we moved down to one of the primitive sites next to the river and enjoyed ourselves much more, plus all the solar we needed. 

  

With all the options within this resort, I can understand why it is so popular. Plus, there’s the whole Hershey Park with shuttles running to and from the campground all day long. So, it’s got that going for it. As a campground resort this park aims to serve everyone. If you need your trash picked up, just leave the garbage bag in front of your site, and someone will be along soon enough to collect it. The bathrooms are immaculate, air conditioned, but many of the showers had wonky temperature controls so check it out before you commit.  Each bathroom building also offers laundry machines to take care of those necessities as well. The campground has a large playground, game room, gift shop and a large outdoor pool. 

  

Nearby, closer than you might even want, you can find food, groceries, gas, booze and traffic (at least during convention center event weekends). But there are also some really cool mom and pop restaurants, some craft beverage drinkeries, and places to walk, bike and get into some disc golf. This is close enough to be a bedroom community of Harrisburg, so the park is basically located in a tucked away corner of suburbia. If you have the time, go to the Grandview Winery nearby they have a lovely selection of vintages which really hold up to this wine snob’s approval. 

  

The campsites are well spaces apart, unless within the central loop, and give the allure of being tucked away in the forest. Water is well spaced and is close by. The walk to the bathroom however, can be a stretch depending on where you park so plan according to your needs. But the woods provide an easy way to answer the call! : )

Something for Every Type of Camper!

This campground is family friendly. The sites are not all cramped together and the campground is huge. There is a very well stocked store. They don’t sell alcohol but there is a shopping center within walking distance with restaurants and liquor stores! Even a supermarket. There is shuttle service to the park. Great stay all around, highly recommended it. 

Will definitely be back 

We were across the campground from the train, and when it came by, the Earth shook.  You have to be willing to make compromises to get a good spot.

The bath house was super clean.  

My only complaint was that it was 90°F plus, but the pool was not open.  There were plenty of kids playing in the stream to cool off. 

We'll be back there next year if only to camp.  It was a great facility, and I wish they all measured up to Hershey Park's standards. 

You have to get the right campsite 

Not one of the nicer campgrounds I’ve been to.  Very tight spots and could barely get in and out of the site. Trees at the ends of the sites not giving much of a turning radius and roads are narrow.  People started playing music/karaoke at 10:45pm .  The pool area was pretty plain. Some of the sewer hook ups appear to be like a foot off the ground.  The people in the store are very nice but watch you like you are stealing. The only good thing about the place is a shuttle to the park. I would not come back.

Not a resort 

We stay here every September during the Hershey Dog Grooming Expo. We have never had any complaints. Office personnel are very friendly and helpful.

Well laid out and nice level sites. Close to area activities.

My friend chose this campground for the shuttle to Hershey Park. We were in site 130 which has electric &amp; water and it’s right on the creek- very nice &amp; quiet- the bathhouse is also near. The campground staff do a great job of keeping the grounds &amp; buildings clean. The pools are nice &amp; there are lifeguards. The playground is lacking. There are some annoying old fashioned rules in place, but all in all a nice place that I’d come again. 

Hershey Park Shuttle! 

If you are planning on going to Hershey Park or Chocolate world this is the place to stay. They have a shuttle that runs frequently bringing guests to the park. There are definitely some very small sites here, as mentioned by other reviews. We stayed on site 99 which is actually a pretty good size.  With 2 kids being close to the pool and basketball court was great. There is a freight train that runs next to the park. It is loud but it didn’t bother us. It wouldn’t deter me from returning.

Great location

We had a great experience at Hersheypark Campground! If you’re planning on going to the amusement park, there is a shuttle on site that takes you straight to the park.

The spots are a little small, at least in the section where we stayed, but we have a small travel trailer so we didn’t have any issues. The bathrooms were clean and large. The store has just about anything you would need while visiting. 

The security guard patrols the park at night, and he was very nice! 

We were only visiting for a quick trip, but we would definitely stay here again!

The only downside was that since it was winter, we didn’t have water hookup.
