Several RV parks surround Blandon, Pennsylvania, offering a range of accommodations for motorhome travelers. Appalachian Camping Resort in Shartlesville provides full hookup RV sites with 50-amp service, operating from April through October with big-rig friendly spaces. Just south in Narvon, Sun Valley Campground features level gravel pads with water, electric, and sewer connections, open April to November. Lake-In-Wood Campground, also in Narvon, offers both 30-amp and 50-amp electric service with full hookups in a wooded setting. Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country in Manheim has 267 back-in and pull-through sites with full hookups. "The sites are a little close together but the way they are angled you have just enough privacy," noted one RV camper about the region's typical site layout.
Access to these RV parks is generally straightforward from major highways, with most campgrounds situated within 30 minutes of Blandon. Seasonal operation is common, with most parks closing between late October and early April. Dump stations are available at all full-service RV campgrounds, though Pinch Pond Family Campground users mentioned highway noise and a nearby shooting range affecting the camping experience. Cell service varies by location and carrier, with Verizon showing stronger coverage than AT&T in most areas. Pet-friendly policies are standard across all parks, though some implement breed restrictions. Propane refill stations are available at several locations including Pinch Pond and Stonybrook RV Resort. Many parks experience high occupancy during Pennsylvania Dutch Country tourism season, making advance reservations essential, particularly for larger motorhomes requiring spacious pull-through sites.
Best RV Campgrounds near Blandon (133)
1. Robin Hill Campground
"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."
2. Appalachian Camping Resort
"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."
3. Sun Valley 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."
4. Spring Gulch Resort Campground
"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."
5. Lake-In-Wood Campground
"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."

6. Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country
"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"
7. Stonybrook RV Resort

"We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow."

"I stayed at HersheyPark Camping Resort with my family over the extended Easter weekend this year. "
Check Availabilityfrom $50 - $60 / night

10. Thousand Trails Circle M
"I got an amazingly large site with a nice fire pit and picnic table. The site was very level so that was great! Nice indoor and outdoor pools! Cable TV isn't free, but I never use it anyway."

Scout100 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!

LegendHickory Run State Park Campground
Peaceful State Park Camping in the Fall
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.
Peggy C.TravelerCountry Acres Campground
Lovely campground!
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!

The best views
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.

Old Mill Stream Campground
Never Again
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.

Council Cup Campground
Better than nothing
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.
Adam and Suzanne B.GuideBeacon Hill Camping
Great location
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.

Echo Valley Campground
Big sites with lots of trees
We only spent the night and didn't look at the amenities. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.
Guide to Blandon
Cabin camping opportunities near Blandon, Pennsylvania span across several established RV parks within a 30-mile radius. The region sits within the ridge and valley section of the Appalachian Mountains at elevations between 400-700 feet, creating varied terrain for camping sites. Winter temperatures typically drop below freezing from December through February, making most cabin rentals in the area seasonal operations.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Lake-In-Wood Campground, campers can fish in the large pond stocked for catch-and-release fishing. "Nice fishing in the lake," notes Edward M., though some visitors mention the pond can develop algae during summer months.
Mini golf courses: Several RV parks near Blandon offer mini golf, including Spring Gulch Resort Campground where "Mini golf course could use some upkeep as there was trash strewn throughout the course" according to Jen R., suggesting maintenance can vary by season.
Amish countryside exploration: Campers staying at cabin rentals around Blandon gain access to Pennsylvania Dutch Country. "I remember going to the market and learning about culture that I was not necessarily familiar with before," shares Meag F. about the cultural learning opportunities near these campgrounds.
What campers like
Pool facilities: Multiple RV parks within 30 minutes of Blandon maintain swimming pools. At Robin Hill Campground, "The pool was very nice and refreshing. I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end," writes Jen R. about the family-friendly swimming options.
Campground activities: Organized events happen regularly at Appalachian Camping Resort, where one camper noted, "The campground had numerous activities set up all throughout the day and there was something for everyone... bingo, crafts, a vendor craft show, hot dog eating contest for adults and kids, candy scramble in the dark."
Diverse accommodation options: Beyond standard cabins, campers appreciate unique lodging choices. "There are a lot of really neat and different rentals here like a tree house, double decker bus, among others," reports a visitor to Lake-In-Wood Campground, highlighting the variety beyond traditional cabins.
What you should know
Site levelness varies: Many campgrounds around Blandon have uneven terrain. At Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country, one camper reported, "Unlevel is an understatement we were in E row and every camper there had front end 4 foot off the ground. Many other sites were the same."
Seasonal restrictions: Most cabin rentals and RV campgrounds in the Blandon area operate from April through October. Sun Valley Campground runs from April 1 to November 1, while Appalachian Camping Resort maintains a similar schedule from April 1 to October 31.
Noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience noise issues. "The nearby shooting range is incredibly loud," mentions one reviewer about Pinch Pond Family Campground. Highway noise affects several properties, with locations farther from main roads generally providing quieter stays.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: When booking cabins with children, consider proximity to play areas. Pinch Pond Family Campground & RV Park offers "playground, super clean laundry room and bathrooms," with a reviewer noting "lots of activities for kids to do!"
Pool hours: Family-friendly swimming options vary by campground. "Unlike most campgrounds, the pool stayed open pretty late so that was a huge bonus for me," reports a parent who visited Pinch Pond with children.
Recreation options: For families seeking variety, look for campgrounds with multiple activity options. At Thousand Trails Circle M, "We happened to be there on the weekend a magician came, my kids loved it. They have an indoor and outdoor pool. Nice playground," shares Leanne B.
Tips from RVers
Advance planning: During peak season (June-August), RV campgrounds near Blandon fill quickly. "If you are thinking about staying here during the Renaissance Faire, which apparently is a VERY BIG thing in these parts, you are going to want to book your spot as soon as possible," advises one experienced camper.

Golf cart considerations: Several larger campgrounds recommend renting golf carts for transportation. "The campground was very large and I would recommend renting a golf cart," notes Mary C. about Lake-In-Wood Campground, where the topography makes internal travel challenging for those with mobility concerns.
