Top-Rated Campgrounds near Georgetown, PA
Campgrounds near Georgetown, Pennsylvania span the full spectrum of the surrounding Lancaster County region, from full-hookup RV parks to primitive tent sites within a picturesque rural setting. Several campgrounds like Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Quarryville and Country Acres Campground accommodate tent campers, RVers, and those seeking cabin rentals or glamping experiences. Mixed-use campgrounds are common in the area, with many facilities offering both primitive tent sites alongside full-hookup RV locations. The relatively flat terrain throughout much of the area makes this region particularly accessible for larger recreational vehicles.
Camping availability extends year-round at select locations like Old Mill Stream Campground and French Creek State Park, though many privately operated sites close between November and March. Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer months and fall foliage season when Amish country tourism peaks. Most campgrounds in the region feature full hookups with 30/50 amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections, particularly at the more developed facilities. Bathhouse conditions vary significantly between state park and private facilities. As one camper noted, "The bathhouse is located at top of steep hill and bathrooms were not very clean. So if you don't have a camper to use, you might not like the bath house situation."
Creekside and lakefront camping opportunities rank among the most sought-after experiences in the Georgetown area. Pequea Creek Campground offers spacious, shaded sites with creek access that's particularly appealing for families. A recent visitor described it as having "large spots and a lot of trees. Very quiet and close enough to Lancaster for shopping." Many campgrounds in the region balance natural settings with proximity to attractions like Hershey Park, Amish country tours, and covered bridges. State parks like French Creek feature more rustic conditions and greater privacy between sites, while private campgrounds typically offer more amenities but with less separation between camping units. Pet-friendly camping is widely available, though often restricted to designated loops or areas within larger campgrounds.

Sun Retreats Lancaster County - Easter Weekend
Like always we like to begin our camping season with a Easter Weekend Trip, my husband's family is partial to the Lancaster Area, so we headed there to Sun Retreats Lancaster. As we drove up I loved the look and location of the campground. You could see there was a indoor pool setup, arcade, playground, store, ice cream, mini-golf and a huge lake and that was everything we saw from the truck. We pulled up to a gate and a guy came out of the shed next to it to check us in.
The campground looked well maintained, the sports were on both sides of the lake and they offered many different options like woods or open, pull through or back up. We choose a really wooded site. It was tight getting in but I can't complain I don't drive the truck. It seemed like there was a fair amount of seasonal sites but they didn't overwhelm the place. I could see also a lot of cabins there were some shaped like teepees, a frontier cabin, and a caboose. They had a fair amount of open grass to play and enjoy. You can bring your own golfcart or they have on site rentals also.
They had an activity list that would help keep everyone busy, they had a mini golf course that was in great shape, an arcade which was definitely lacking in the game department, I think there was 4 pinball machines, 2 Skee ball, 3 racing games, and the play to you win machine. The playground x2 were both in great condition with a lot to keep kids playing on. I can only comment on the indoor pool which at the time was said to be under construction however still open, the water was on the colder side and the hot tube the same temp as the pool, the ceiling had been ripped off so the iron rusting beams were exposed and rust falling down. The kids still went in the pool unfortunately the air from the open window made them too cold so we didn't stay long. I am hoping it will be finished because the concept of the indoor-outdoor pool area looks so fun.
The staff was extremely helpful and super friendly. The store was fully stocked with everything you could want. The bathrooms were all kept so clean and in working order with hot water. We enjoyed the area we ventured out to see the Choo Choo barn, the green dragon flea market, and kitchen kettle village which are a must if your in the area. We also choose to hike the Welsh Preserve and Money Rock. The lake had a path you could walk completely around and you could choose to fish if that's your thing.
I would definitely return to this campground again, we had 8 sites in total and we all really thought it was a wonderful place and really enjoyed our holiday weekend there. It was very busy but the staff was present but not overbearing. People were very respectful and friendly.
Stuart K.LegendThousand Trails PA Dutch Country
Amish Country Charm with a Resort Twist
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’s throw from the PA Turnpike.
While my review from a few years ago provides a ton of detail, I thought I would follow up that review with a topline of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS along with a smattering of new photos.
HIGHLIGHTS:(1) Expansive campground with 250+ sites offering full hookups, giving plenty of options for both short stays and longer visits;(2) Resort-style amenities including pool, mini golf, clubhouse, playgrounds, and organized activities that keep families engaged throughout the day;(3) Beautiful wooded setting with dense tree coverage that creates a surprisingly secluded feel despite proximity to major highways;(4) Ideal location for exploring Pennsylvania Dutch Country, with scenic farmland, covered bridges, and charming nearby towns just minutes away; and(5) Strong sense of community with events like bingo, crafts, and family activities that give it that classic ‘summer camp” vibe.
LOWLIGHTS:(1) Sloped terrain throughout much of the campground can make leveling a bit tricky depending on your site;(2) Close proximity to the PA Turnpike may be a concern for some, even though tree coverage helps reduce both noise and visibility;(3) Wi-Fi is not complimentary and can be an added cost, which feels a bit dated for a“resort” experience;(4) Membership requirement through Thousand Trails can be a barrier for first-time or casual campers; and(5) Limited tent site availability compared to the large number of RV sites, making it less flexible for non-RV travelers
Happy Camping!

Pinch Pond Family Campground & RV Park
Amenity-Packed Campground in PA Dutch Country
Set just off I-76 in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, Pinch Pond Family Campground& RV Park is a large, all-in-one, family-focused campground with a layout that feels more like a small neighborhood than a traditional woods-only campsite. 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 for built-in entertainment.
HIGHLIGHTS:(1) Full-service resort-style amenities including pool, playground, arcade, laundry, propane refills, dump stations, sports field, picnic tables and in-ground fire rings throughout the property;(2) Wide variety of lodging options including RV sites with 30/50 amp hookups, water, sewer and cable, primitive tent sites, and multiple on-site cottages for non-campers;(3) Gated entrance and very welcoming, helpful staff at check-in with a well-stocked camp store offering snacks, ice cream, sundries and souvenirs;(4) Strong family appeal with fishing pond, barn, open play areas and space for kids to roam safely; and(5) Excellent location for regional attractions including Hershey Park, Chocolate World, Amish countryside tours and the nearby wolf sanctuary with guided educational tours.
LOWLIGHTS:(1) Immediate proximity to I-76 means persistent highway noise day and night with no real sound buffer;(2) Access is oddly indirect despite being next to the turnpike, requiring a several-mile loop through countryside roads to reach the entrance;(3) Overall layout is wide open with limited natural privacy between many RV sites;(4) Nearby shooting range produces frequent target practice noise, especially noticeable during early morning hours; and(5) Pricing for primitive tent sites feels disproportionately high compared to full-hookup RV rates.
Happy Camping!

This is our 3rd time at this park, it is one of our favorites. Well maintained, very quiet. We stay in Loop A (full hookup) pet friendly. Sites are spacious, generally large but they are all back-in sites.

Thoughts
Okay so I haven't actually been here yet I am looking for somewhere to put my rv long term. I guess I was just wondering why the other person made this place sound so horrible. Is it because of the people who can only afford to survive long term at this campsite or was this another time that stigma took over instead of knowledge or is the place a real dangerous dump. I guess I need to check this place out for myself.

Year-round camping options: Several campgrounds operate beyond summer months. A winter visitor at French Creek State Park mentioned, "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great! I'm a women in my thirties traveling alone and I felt very safe here."
What You Should Know
Accessibility considerations: Bathroom locations can present challenges at certain campgrounds. At French Creek State Park, a visitor reported, "The showers were odd - one large stall but no separate dressing area so you have to be very careful so as not to get your stuff wet during the shower."
Site selection strategies: At Circle M RV & Camping Resort, campsite location significantly impacts experience. "While the top part of the campground seemed more communal, we chose the lower, Riverside sites and we're glad we did!" advised one camper.
Reservation recommendations: Smaller campgrounds like Beacon Hill Camping fill quickly. "This is a small campground that is a little tight for big rigs. We did manage to fit two 40' motorhome's with planning," noted a visitor.
Environmental factors: Be prepared for typical agricultural smells. A camper at Old Mill Stream Campground observed, "The overwhelming impression of this campground was the smell of cow manure from the nearby dairy farm feedlot."

Maneuverability: Some campgrounds have tight access roads. At Mill Bridge Village, one RVer cautioned, "Look at the map when selecting a site. The sites in the center are like a parking lot. Small, no shade and wide open."
Hookup reliability: Beacon Hill Camping provides dependable utilities. "Our space was really level and wide. Internet was ok and they ask folks to not stream," noted an RVer.
Location advantages: Position can impact enjoyment. At Lancaster/New Holland KOA, a visitor explained, "We stayed in site#106 which was level, covered in clean gravel, had a paver patio with table and chairs, and a nice fire ring with more chairs."
