The campground sits alongside Swatara Creek where the sound of flowing water mingles with traffic noise from nearby I-81 and Route 22. Kasumi notes the creek runs "about ankle deep and perfect" for wading during warmer months. Sites closest to the water provide direct creek access, though some campers report rough road conditions when approaching the property.
KOA's standard amenities include full hookups for RVs up to 70 feet, clean restroom facilities, and a camp store stocked with essentials. The property connects directly to the Swatara Rail Trail, making it a staging point for cyclists and hikers exploring the 3,750-acre Swatara State Lands. Tent campers find raised platforms at designated sites, with some positioned near the creek for easy water access. The campground operates year-round, though reviewers mention limited cell service and WiFi connectivity can be spotty.
Creek-side sites fill quickly during peak season, and the property offers shuttle service to Hershey Park with discounted admission tickets available through the office. A fenced dog park accommodates pets, while families use the splash pad and mini golf course. Some long-term seasonal campers occupy sites throughout the warmer months. Mike J. describes "friendly staff, clean grounds, pretty many amenities" despite the compact layout.
Military helicopters from nearby Indiantown Gap training facility fly overhead regularly, particularly during daytime hours. The campground's location between two major highways means consistent traffic sounds, though the creek's flow provides some natural buffer. For additional camping choices, Twin Grove RV Resort sits three miles north.
Book creek-side sites well in advance during summer months when water activities peak.
