Several RV parks near Blain, Pennsylvania provide options for motorhome travelers. Drummer Boy Camping Resort in Gettysburg operates from April through October with full hookup sites including 50-amp electric service. Western Village RV Park in Carlisle remains open year-round with pull-through sites that accommodate larger rigs, though some campers report tight spacing. Waterside Campground in Lewistown features both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service with level gravel pads suitable for most RVs. Paradise Stream Family Campground in Loysville offers seasonal camping from April to late October with full hookup sites. "The sites are so small that my truck was either parked over the firering or blocking our door. Our slideout is 3 inches from the neighbor site's picnic table."
Within 30 miles of Blain, most RV parks provide sanitary dump stations, though availability varies seasonally. Verizon cellular service works reliably at most locations, while coverage from other carriers may be spotty in more remote areas. Sites are equipped with water and electric hookups, but sewer connections aren't universal across all parks. Pets are generally welcome throughout the region, with Western Village RV Park and Waterside Campground specifically mentioning pet-friendly policies. During peak summer weekends and fall foliage season, advance reservations are essential as parks fill quickly. One reviewer noted that some sites feature inconveniently placed sewer hookups "about six inches above the ground which meant that it would not drain properly," suggesting travelers might need additional equipment for proper waste management.

GuideArtillery Ridge Campground
Great campsite. Fire pit, picnic table, swimming pool ( not open), miniature golf course, laundromat, bathrooms, showers, dump station, gathering areas for groups, playground, and even a horse area and stalls for horses. Dog friendly. Staff was very helpful and curious.

Enormous property, but...
We spent a long weekend for walks in the woods, seeing the fall colors, and all around a huge lake.
What We Liked:
- Even though the sites are sloped, they’re huge. I like that a lot.
- This property is enormous. They have a marina on the lake, a wedding facility, conference center, lots of cabins which look pretty good, and tent sites in addition to the RV sites. Go say hi to the goats behind the store. The property is amazing!
- If you’re interested, it’s a 90-minute drive to the Flight 93 Memorial— well worth the trip!
Things to Keep in Mind:
- The roads getting there are like a roller coaster. This isn’t the resort’s fault, but something you need to know if you’re going there.
- The sites are sloped. Took several blocks to get even close to level. I may be spoiled, but I really appreciate a level site.
- No sewer connection. There’s a dump station available, but just know the sites are water and electric only.
Would We Return?
- Probably not. It’s not fun driving in that area and there’s nothing much to do in the area.
Pam R.GuideGifford Pinchot State Park Campground
We booked two nights mid October not realizing that it's duck hunting season and that hunting is allowed RIGHT by the campground - with kids everywhere. We were jolted out of sleep at 5 am by gun fire right near our site. It kept up for the next hour. In addition, the bathrooms, although clean are in poor condition. Peeling paint everywhere with bare concrete in the showers. For such a pretty site, we had a miserable stay. We left after one night.

Artillery Ridge Campground
Got us out of a jam.
Where we were camping had blown up their dump station. Artillery Ridge helped us out. $10. to dump. If we come to camp in Gettysburg, it will be hear.

Quiet & Dog friendly - 20minutes from Gettysburg Battfields
This pet friendly campground in Caledonia State Park is .8 miles from the larger Chinquapin campground (no pets), ranger station and swimming pool. Our site #171 was level, paved, full hook ups and next to modern clean bathrooms with flush toilets, warm showers and outside dish washing sinks. Many available sites with and without services on a Sunday in October. There were a good number of friendly, tidy, long term campers with large wall tents. (They allow 21 day stays after Labor Day)

Grantville is great
The area is very nice and so are the people. The sites are clean and the livestock are a cool sight to see

Hersheypark Camping Resort
EXPENSIVE
There was no hot water in the showers. There are no dog poo stations. There is a dumpster marked “STAFF ONLY”. It’s nice they have a place to stuff the staff!

Sunsational Family Campground
I would not recommend to anyone
This campground is nothing as stated in the reviews. And now I know why. The one review on here besides mine is from the owner. The bathrooms are not clean. I was told for Labor Day weekend I could stay for two nights had reserved and all. They then abruptly cancelled my reservation and took three days to respond and say I could have a different cabin and tent sight but would need to stay three nights because of the holiday. They also charged a cleaning for a service pet which is not legal. We then showed up and were the only people staying that weren’t seasonal site people and very not welcomed. The first comment made was here come the weekend warriors. We look at the cabin which was ironically filthy and covered in mouse poop yet we got charged a cleaning fee. The grass was not mowed the porter potty’s so gross bugs are crawling in the bottom. The camp store was closed during the car show they had and when we asked when it will be open they stated it will not. It was 1 pm on a Saturday. The reservation process was unorganized. The playground was not mowed or weed whacked and a slide is ratchet strapped together. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

What you should know
Site size variations: Some campgrounds offer spacious sites while others have tight spacing. At Round Top Campground, one camper reported sites that "have reasonable spacing with gravel pads, mostly level. Trees between sites with sloping hills, not just a big open field."
Seasonal operations: Many campgrounds in the region operate from April through October. Some campgrounds, like Paradise Stream, specify their season as "April 10 to October 27," requiring winter camping enthusiasts to seek year-round alternatives.

Look for creek-side options: Water features provide natural entertainment for children. At Paradise Stream Family Campground, a visitor reported, "We stayed creekside so only had electric" and "really enjoyed this lovely, clean campground."
Animal-focused campgrounds: Waterside Campground and several other locations provide opportunities for kids to interact with farm animals.

Tips from RVers
Sewer hookup placement: When selecting sites at RV campgrounds near Blain, Pennsylvania, check sewer connection positioning. Some campgrounds have awkwardly placed connections that make drainage difficult.

Site leveling concerns: Many campgrounds in this hilly region feature uneven sites. One camper at Round Top Campground mentioned the campground had "sites with gravel pads, mostly level" while noting the entire facility is "on a hill."
