100 Mile View Camping
What a great place. So unique! Love the view, and a great experience! There are no hook ups, so be prepared but if you are looking for the dispersed camping experience you have found it. What a gem!
5 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds operate within 30 miles of Alburtis, Pennsylvania, offering various hookup options and site configurations. Robin Hill Campground in Lenhartsville provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service, while Appalachian Camping Resort in Shartlesville accommodates larger rigs with pull-through sites and complete utility connections. "The sites are a little close together but the way they are angled you have just enough privacy," noted one visitor about site spacing at nearby parks. Spring Gulch Resort Campground in New Holland features sewer, water, and electric hookups with a season running from March through December, though some sites require creative parking due to limited depth for larger motorhomes and towed vehicles.
Most RV parks in the region require reservations, particularly during fall foliage season when occupancy rates peak. Navigation to some campgrounds involves narrow country roads with occasional tight turns that may challenge wider motorhomes. Cell service varies significantly across the area, with AT&T generally providing better coverage than Verizon at several locations. Dump stations are available at most parks, though some charge additional fees for non-guests. Pet-friendly sites are common but often restricted to specific camping loops or areas. Propane refill services can be found at Sun Valley Campground and Lake-In-Wood Campground, both of which remain open from April through early November and accommodate various RV sizes with leveled gravel pads.
"It's too bad it is mainly seasonal sites back there. This campground is called Robin HILL for a reason. You will get you exercise walking to the pond, pool, capstone or basketball courts."
"Although they do have sites for tents, this seems to be better suited for RVers and renting cabins. Many of the people we met during our stay are regulars."
"We stayed at Appalachian to visit a friend who has a seasonal site. Our site was full hook up."
"Family friendly. Lots for the kids to do."
"Well wooded campground with friendly staff and guests. The only minor complaint is that the camp store was sparsely supplied. B+ little gem of a campground."
"Showed up on Wednesday, and was assigned a spot in loop 700 up on a hill in the center of a ring of trailers, past a lot of full-timers. Cable does not work. No internet. 2 bars LTE on T-Mobile."
"There was a craft show in the barn which was nice. Only two dump stations for a pretty large park. We would camp here again but not over a holiday."
"The campsites available are primitive or have water and electric and bathhouses / restrooms are located in a few spots around the park. Fire rings are at each site, but appear to get moved a lot."
"We spent four nights at Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton, PA, for a quiet wedding anniversary getaway— and so glad we did. We paid$150 per night total for a FHU 50 Amp Premium Back-in site (#F20)."
"We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow."
"My family and I stayed at Lake In Wood for 4 days. The campground is very well maintained , and the staff is very nice."
"From the spotlessly clean grounds to the nice facilities this is a favorite of ours. There are lots of seasonal sites but there also lots of visitors too."
from $40 - $60 / night
"The biggest downside to this particular campground is its very close proximity to the PA Turnpike, which while convenient, might detract a bit from the peace & quiet you might be expecting when here"
"Tucked into the rolling, wooded hills of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country RV Resort offers a unique blend of peaceful countryside and activity-packed camping, all just a stone"
"The two ladies had a greater handle on the operations of the very nice facility."
"We’ve stayed here a couple times in past Have family in the area Grew up in this area so very comfortable and easy access to lots of places! This visit we stayed six months may to October"
from $48 / night
"Wanted to find a close by place for for a night of Tent camping and stumbled across this winter time ski resort/ spring summer camping and adventure grounds."
"Staff was nice & showed us to our campground, hauled our firewood, and checked in regularly to make sure we didn’t need anything. Restrooms were really clean."
"While its proximity to the highway makes access easy, the property itself is gated, organized into distinct camping zones and packed with amenities that clearly cater to longer stays and families looking"
"campground so inconveniently located (more on this later) right next to highway I76."
What a great place. So unique! Love the view, and a great experience! There are no hook ups, so be prepared but if you are looking for the dispersed camping experience you have found it. What a gem!
This is a large campground with a wide array of campsites so be careful attention when you book online, especially if you have a pet because some sites are not pet-friendly. Some are 50-amp full hook-up and some are primitive with no hook-ups.
There is a nice nature center with interesting interpretive exhibits and lots of informational brochures including ones about the hiking trails, bears, scat and tracks of local animals, and fishing. Our site was at the edge of the campground and backed up to Route 534 which resulted in a bit of road noise at our site. Other than the road noise the campground was pretty quiet and was not very crowded when we camped there in October.
Not all sites are level and we happened to book one that was not and we had to live with a slant for our stay. The roads in the park are gravel/dirt and since it rained the day we arrived the roads were a muddy mess which made the roads slippery and there were lots of potholes. Unfortunately, some campers were disrespectful and left bags of trash in the fire pit and scattered around their site which was totally unnecessary because there were dumpsters plenty of dumpsters in the campground. Since we camped at Hickory Run late in the season, there were no camp hosts and the trash never got picked up.
The campground is open from mid-April to mid-December; however, the shower facilities and dump station are not available after the third week of October so plan accordingly. We really like the hiking trails which are of varying degrees of difficulty and lengths. The Hawk Falls is a nice easy walk (1.4 miles round-trip) to a waterfall but is extremely popular so don’t think you will be admiring the falls alone. The parking lot at this trail head fills up fast so you better get there early if you want to get a spot.
You can enter the park from two different directions. If you have a big-rig, it is best to approach from the east side. We made the mistake of coming in from the west side as we dropped down from I-80 and came down 534 and the road was really windy with no shoulder. Luckily, there was very little traffic so we could go 10 mph and safely navigate the roads.
Be aware alcohol is not allowed in PA state parks. This park does allow hunting in certain sections of the park. The no-hunting areas are clearly marked with white no hunting signs on trees and you can also pick up a brochure from the office that designates hunting and no-hunting sections.
Country Acres is a lovely, well maintained campground. Sites are level and bath house facilities clean and modern. Friendly staff in the office. Dog friendly. Local to all the Lancaster attractions. A complimentary farmland tour is offered by bus and it was great. They take you out into an area of Amish farms and shops and make a stop at 2 of these. The fresh Amish pretzels are amazing!
This is a hidden gem, as close to dispersed camping you can get with dirt, gravel roads, large stone fire pits, a amazing views with the added benefit of a five gallon jug of non potable water and very clean port-a-potties. The owner regularly patrols the site and makes sure everything is okay.
The advertisements for Olde Mill Campground were disingenuous. The campsite was 20 yards from a roller coaster. The NOISE of the roller coaster and children on it screaming was as relentless and unnerving as any train we have ever slept near. There was no quiet until almost midnight. The “pull-through” site left my truck almost in the road and our 25’ Airstream slightly over the road on the backside. The site was not level. The sites were close enough to hear a neighbor’s snoring.
Small campground with rude owner. Everything I asked about was putting her out. It was cheap though at $36 for water and electric with a military discount.
We stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.
We only spent the night and didn't look at the amenities. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.
We stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.
Cabin accommodations near Alburtis, Pennsylvania range from basic shelters to fully-equipped cottages within a 30-mile radius. The area sits on the edge of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, with elevations of 300-1,200 feet creating varied camping terrain. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing, while summer camping season typically runs April through October when temperatures average 75-85°F during daytime.
Fishing opportunities: At Stonybrook RV Resort, campers can try their luck at the on-site pond. "Nice campground, very very level site. But beyond the pool there wasn't much to do. Although, this might be due to the fact we visited during the week instead of the weekend where it seems they have a lot of events," notes one visitor about activity scheduling.
Hiking nearby: The region offers multiple trails within a 20-minute drive. "If you were looking to actually enjoy a bit of nature while in this area, I would recommend heading over to nearby Peace Valley Nature Center, which is only about 10 minutes away from here and features good walking trails near a small lake," mentions a reviewer at Village Scene Park.
Amish experience: Explore local culture within 25 miles of many campgrounds. "If you've never visited an Amish community, you should definitely take advantage of this very unique location by exploring Lancaster County where you can find a number of horse & buggies to take a trip in to take in the absolutely gorgeous Pennsylvania Dutch countryside," suggests a camper at Pinch Pond Family Campground.
Clean facilities: Many RV parks prioritize bathroom cleanliness. "The bathrooms were heated, and okay. I didn't care for the shower curtain system it seems less private," reports one camper staying at Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country.
Pool amenities: Summer visitors appreciate swimming options. "The pool was very nice and refreshing. I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end," shares a guest at Robin Hill Campground.
Mountain views: Several campgrounds offer scenic landscapes. "We showed up on Wednesday, and was assigned a spot in loop 700 up on a hill in the center of a ring of trailers, past a lot of full-timers. Cable does not work. No internet. 2 bars LTE on T-Mobile. We stayed in loop 700 - very nice, new and well-maintained area with mature trees and lovely fall colors," details a visitor at Sun Valley Campground.
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds feature sloped terrain. "Sites are very close together. Fire rings are very close to campers. Unlevel is an understatement we were in E row and every camper there had front end 4 foot off the ground," warns one reviewer.
Seasonal timing: Most facilities operate April through November. "Campground is clean, well managed, lots of great amenities, tons to do. This place is run by a publicly traded company that seems to have their systems in place to make things work," explains a camper at Spring Gulch Resort Campground.
Noise considerations: Some parks sit near highways or other noise sources. "Main drawback is noise from road and shooting range nearby. Fortunately our dog wasn't bothered by the sound of gunshots and it's only during the day," reports a visitor.
Recreation options: Look for campgrounds with kid-friendly features. "This is a great park in Lancaster County! The one thing that comes to mind is gnomes! After our week here, we bought one from the gift store for future camping adventures. Great pools and classes (water aerobics was fun for everyone)," shares a visitor at Lake-In-Wood Campground.
Activity scheduling: Many parks offer organized events. "My family recently spent a long weekend at Pinch Pond. Our campsite was very spacious and the ENTIRE campground was extremely clean and tidy. Their game room has tickets. This is the one and only campground we have ever visited that gave tickets for playing games and my kids LOVED IT!"
Site selection: Choose locations away from common areas for evening quiet. "We were unaware that our site was a buddy site. Now it was Labor Day weekend, the campground was completely full and we booked late. The site we got was the only one available for the size of our camper," notes a camper.
Arrival timing: Several parks have specific check-in windows. "Check in is as 3pm, we showed up at 2:45 after a 7 hr drive and they made us pay $15 extra. Sites were average," explains an RVer.
Hookup variations: Water pressure and connection height differ between parks. "TT PA Dutch Country definitely got lucky with site F03 for Starlink. The rest of the campground has a lot of tree cover. Beautiful grounds and clean. Site is gravel and pretty level. Water pressure is pretty low and the sewer pipe is a little high."
Road conditions: Some campgrounds have challenging access roads. "The entrance made for a challenging entry up a steep grade, narrow roadway, and sharp turn in. I made it without problems, but it wasn't easy in a 45' motorhome towing a Jeep."
