Shady Grove Campground

The Loose Caboose Campground is a 26-acre campground located in beautiful Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We are a Second-Generation, Veteran, Family Owned and Operated Campground in the heart of PA Amish Country. Proudly serving Overnight and Weekly Campers for over 35 years. The campground is well-known for its large, secluded wooded sites, yet has the distinction of being located just minutes away from many popular tourist destinations (See “Nearby Attractions”) and special area events (i.e. [Day out with Thomas the Tank Engine](<https://www.strasburgrailroad.com/ride/events/day-out-with-thomas/>), [Annual Rough and Tumble Thresherman’s Reunion](<https://roughandtumble.org/>), Bird-in-Hand Community Days, etc.). We are surrounded by gorgeous Amish farmlands and also offer an excellent view of the passing Amish Buggies and the Amtrak/Norfolk Southern mainline. For this exact reason, part of the campground property was actually used in shooting some of the opening scenes of the 1985 Movie “[Witness](<https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090329/>)” starring Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis. We are proud to be members of the Pennsylvania Campground Owners Association (PCOA), the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC), Discover Lancaster and Chester County Conference & Visitors Bureau. We have just over 70 beautiful sites, the majority of which offer full hookup utilities. Many of our sites are even open all year round. We are able to accommodate most campers’ needs - having spaces available for everything ranging in size from smaller primitive tent campsites to the largest Big Rigs and Park Model vacation homes. Our heated Bathhouse offers free hot showers and is open to patrons all year round. Limited on-site services (available upon request) include: minor RV repair and troubleshooting, trailer leveling and blocking, winterization and local trailer transport. We are also a children and pet friendly campground. Please contact us directly to inquire about our Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts camping programs for your local Den/Troop activity needs. Our mission is to make your stay here as enjoyable and peaceful as possible. There is so much to see and do in this famous tourist area that you will never be bored. Even if your goal is just to sit around the campfire and have a nice, relaxing, break from the world, we can offer that as well. We would be happy to recommend local area restaurants, activities and attractions for you to visit during your stay with us. We look forward to assisting you in making the most of your visit to this extremely popular vacation destination. We are currently working very hard to renovate and update the campground. Our goal is to make it one of the premier Camping destinations in southeastern Pennsylvania.



The Loose Caboose Campground

The canvas Bell Tent has a king-size bed and 2 extra single mattresses. There is enough space for 4 more people to sleep on the floor with sleeping bags if needed.

**Electricity**

The campsite can be used as a primitive one or a luxurious one. In case you wish to use electricity, there is a quiet generator next to the campground that you are welcome to use for an extra small fee of $15 per day, including gasoline. You can use the generator to light the camp with the string light, charge your electronics, connect your boombox, or anything else you have in mind.

**Bonfire**

There is a very cool fire pit that you'll need to bring wood for. If you wish we can also supply that for a small fee, which will probably be a little more expensive than getting them on your own. Let us know in advance if you need it.

In case you would like to get warm without a bonfire there is a small propane outdoor mushroom heater that you can use for no extra fee.

**Kitchen**

The kitchen is equipped with a grill/smoker, a big cooler, and a serving table.

There is an iron cast skillet, small pot to boil water, spatula, serving spoon and fork, utensils for 5 people and cups. There are grill tools as well. Bring your own oil.

There is running water in the back of the kitchen to wash dishes. That water is not for drinking.

You'll find 2 fresh five-gallon containers from our well in the kitchen. If you need more, let us know. Thank you fo washing the dishes when you're done and disposing the garbage bag at the exit of the property is very much appreciated.

**Restroom/Shower**

Both shower and restroom are shared with other campers.

The restroom is a porta-potty and is located a 1-minute walk from the campground. There is a shed with running water for hand washing.

The shower is a field shower, attached to the shed, and is not heated. Since the water runs through a pipe above ground, it might be warm for the few first minutes.

You will also find on the premises green paths to enjoy a walk and explore the space. When you arrive you'll have a map of the premises and a map of the local attractions and points of interest in the green (open) mailbox when you enter the property. POI like, water access locations, country stores, hiking trails, wineries, and more.
