Circle M offers cabins with electricity, heating systems, and proximity to the river, while Tucquan Park features cabins near a fishing pond and playground area. Both locations provide furnished options with beds, tables, and basic kitchenette setups, though specific amenities vary by location and cabin type. Most cabin units include picnic tables outside for outdoor dining and relaxation. "The cabin was cute, clean, and warm. It snowed a bit but we had an outdoor fire. We cooked inside and my parents had their t.v. next door."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Several campgrounds near Conestoga accommodate pets in select cabin units, including Circle M and Old Mill Stream Campground, though additional pet fees may apply. Cabin availability is seasonal at some locations, with Circle M operating from April through November, while others like Old Mill Stream remain open year-round. Weekends typically book quickly, especially during summer months when river activities are popular. According to one visitor: "We decided to camp in the fall and did a cabin since it was colder and we had the baby. We loved it!"
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities typically include refrigerators and microwaves in more deluxe units, while basic cabins may only offer access to communal facilities. Nearby camp stores at locations like Spring Gulch and Country Acres Campground sell essential supplies, firewood, and some grocery items. Mill Bridge Village and Jellystone Park at Quarryville provide more extensive on-site market options for cabin guests. Visitors staying for extended periods should bring adequate supplies or plan trips to larger grocery stores in Lancaster, approximately 15-20 minutes from most cabin locations.
"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."
"We first had a 2 point site near the river, but when it rains the sites get flooded with runoff from the campground. We moved to a full hookup on the Delaware section."
"Tent sites are lined up along the water which is great for fishing (especially when you need to stay close to the littles sleeping in the tent). Lots of benches lined up along the water."
"This Campground is in the town of Lancaster, close to everything. A little complicated getting in, you need to turn in at the Cartoon Network Hotel driveway. Nice showers & friendly staff."
"We stayed here in November with beautiful weather which meant the large farm behind the campground was spraying manure over their fields. We could smell it."
"Very family friendly park. Cabins, RV, Tent - full amenities. Lots of things to do. A little pricy, but worth it especially with kids."
"The location also kept us fairly bug free."
"There was a lot of space so walking our dogs was great. The smaller bathroom stalls are pretty small but got the job done. Playground and pool were both nice and clean. Wonderful place for a family."
"This is a great spot for visiting Pennsylvania Amish of Lancaster County and about a one-hour drive to Hersheypark. Our site(# 837) was a good size for our motor home+ toad."
"The pool is new and has a sloped entrance so my two year old could play by himself and loved it. The new bathhouse has better restrooms than my own home! Everything is clean and well managed."
"Close to the tourist spots in Lancaster. Great views. Clean, friendly, and would definetly recommend!"
"Great, convenient location. Cost friendly considering the location. Clean grounds & maintained sites. Mix of open & shaded sites, all appear to be pretty level, our site was next to stream."
"Pet friendly. No children. No frills. Great place to explore Amish country from."
"Within walking distance are Amish shops, and guided tours into the Amish countryside. Restaurants are nearby. Clean and quiet area."

"One has a few sites with electric and some cabins. Potable water is available in several places on each loop. The bathhouses are rebuilt recently and are very nice. Some walk in tent sites."

Available next weekend

"Mostly an RV campground, but does have a few campsites and cabins. Campsites can be on top of each other and can be very rocky or muddy."
"Overview: nice quiet campground with a variety of campsites and a pretty good camp store. Site: this review is of the campsite and cabin we stayed in."
"Level sites with a table and grass surrounding gravel pad . Good hookup’s. Backed up to beautiful working Amish farm . Serene and peaceful the only words that come to mind."
"We have been here a few times it is a great quite campground in the middle of Amish country and close to about everything"
TravelerCountry 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!
GuideGreat 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.
GuideWe 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.
GuideWhere 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.
GuideYou just can't beat a pennsylvania park. This one is not an exception. Nice clean restroom, plenty of room. Now, what cost a star. Yes, it rained like hell. When we broke camp and go dump. The dump station was overflowing with sewer. Go to the guard shack to tell them, and find another site. None there. Can I go to an unused full hookup to dump? No! I would have to pay for the site. Two hours later, we found a place to dump for $10.
ScoutThe 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.
GuideWe 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.
ScoutThe campground is in excellent condition. The facilities are top notch. The excellence and care of the campground is evident. The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire.
TravelerThere 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!

They had Halloween ever at every weekend of October and we spent Halloween weekend here. The kids loved it!!" shares Kasey M. about Circle M.
Year-round cabin availability: Mill Bridge Village & Camp Resort offers cabins throughout winter months. "Had a trip scheduled for February but had to postpone. The staff was very helpful and moved our date to March. We enjoy each stay here. This site backs up to the stream. Glad they are now open year round," writes Stephen W.
Nature immersion: Primitive cabin sites at Tucquan Park Family Campground offer a more secluded experience. "The primitive sites are back in the woods which kept us nice and cool on hot July nights. The location also kept us fairly bug free," explains Christine L.
Cabin layouts vary significantly: Cabinet options range from basic to deluxe. "Our site was right next to the creek. Very scenic and laid back campground. Mostly older folks. Very quiet except for the neighbor who rode his quad for hours on end," reports Stacy D. about Mill Bridge Village.
Wi-Fi limitations: Many cabins have limited internet access. "Note: The campground WiFi does not reach the primitive sites and I had 0 cell/GPS service on the entire premises (my carrier is AT&T)," warns Christine L.

Site selection: When booking cabin accommodations at Country Acres Campground, review site maps carefully. "The sites in the center are like a parking lot. Small, no shade and wide open. We prefer the creek side sites," recommends Stacy D.
Linens and supplies: Confirm what supplies are included with cabin rentals. "Our site(# 837) was a good size for our motor home+ toad.

Extended stays: For longer cabin rentals, research local supply options. "Super relaxing and easy camping. My husband stayed here as a kid and wanted to revisit it. It was a great stay!
