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!

Several parks in the area maintain mixed seasonal and transient sites, with permanent setups occupying significant portions of some facilities. Most campgrounds require reservations, especially during summer months and fall foliage season.

"We stayed at Appalachian to visit a friend who has a seasonal site. Our site was full hook up."

2. Robin Hill Campground

"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."

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."

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."

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

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.

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.

RangerTohickon Family Campground
Simple, peaceful FHU
We stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.
Guide to Leesport
Campground options near Leesport, Pennsylvania include both seasonal and year-round facilities within a 30-mile radius. The area sits within the Ridge and Valley Province of the Appalachian Mountains, with elevations ranging from 300 to 1,200 feet. Most campgrounds in this region experience high humidity during summer months, with temperatures averaging 85°F in July and August, while spring and fall camping offers more moderate conditions.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: nearby stocked ponds at Stonybrook RV Resort provide accessible catch-and-release options for campers. "There is a pond for fishing. About an hour from a motorbike riding park," notes one visitor. Some ponds feature multiple fish species but may have seasonal algae buildup.
Dutch Country exploration: discover Amish communities within 20 minutes of Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country. The campground puts you "in the heart of one of the most picturesque natural landscapes anywhere in the Keystone State." Visitors appreciate the authentic cultural experience, with one camper noting, "Not much for amenities, but I loved the surrounding dutch/Amish towns! It was pretty cool to seemingly step back in time."
Mini-golf and recreational activities: family-friendly options at several parks include both free and paid courses. "Free mini golf. You can borrow golf clubs but you do have to buy balls," explains a visitor to Spring Gulch Resort. Many campgrounds maintain recreational facilities open through evening hours, with some offering extended seasonal availability.
What campers like
Clean bathroom facilities: well-maintained shower houses consistently receive positive mentions. At Pinch Pond Family Campground & RV Park, visitors appreciate the "super clean laundry room and bathrooms." One camper specifically noted, "The office and grounds keeping staff were super friendly and helpful," highlighting the overall maintenance standards.
Weekend activities: scheduled entertainment options enhance the camping experience. "We happened to be there on the weekend a magician came, my kids loved it," shared a visitor to Thousand Trails Circle M. Most parks schedule additional weekend programming during summer months, with some continuing themed weekends through October.
Spacious RV sites: adequate separation between units at several parks allows for comfortable setup. "The site was nice and level side to side," noted one visitor about Stonybrook RV Resort. Many campgrounds offer multiple hookup options with varying site configurations based on rig size requirements.
What you should know
Seasonal operation: limited winter availability affects most campgrounds in the Leesport area. The camping season typically runs April through October, with a few exceptions. Spring Gulch Resort operates from March 21 to December 1, offering one of the longer seasons in the region.
Site terrain challenges: leveling difficulties impact setup at several facilities. A visitor to Lake-In-Wood Campground observed, "Our site was a drive-through but slanted. There wasn't much room on our site to do anything else. The fire ring was about all the room allowed." Many parks have gravel pads requiring leveling blocks.
Ambient noise considerations: shooting ranges and highways create background sounds at some locations. "The only negative thing I could possibly say would be our campsite was....awkward. We were unaware that our site was a buddy site," reported a visitor to Appalachian Camping Resort. Several campgrounds have ambient noise from local roads, quarries, or recreational facilities.
Tips for camping with families
Children's activities: structured programming provides entertainment options beyond playgrounds. A visitor to Spring Gulch Resort Campground reported, "Fun activities for kids and adults." Many parks offer weekend craft sessions, games, or themed events throughout the camping season.
Pool availability: extended hours at select facilities allow for evening swimming. One visitor to Pinch Pond noted, "Unlike most campgrounds, the pool stayed open pretty late so that was a huge bonus for me." Pool policies and hours vary significantly between parks, with some maintaining strict closing times while others extend swimming until 8-10 pm.
Wildlife viewing: farm animals and natural habitats provide educational opportunities. "Goats to pet and watch. There are a lot of really neat and different rentals here like a tree house, double decker bus, among others," explained a Lake-In-Wood camper. Several parks maintain small animal areas or access to natural habitats.
Tips from RVers
Reservation timing: early booking essential for peak season stays and holiday weekends. "We had a great time at this campground. There is a very nice camp store," notes a visitor to Pinch Pond. Most campgrounds fill completely for summer weekends and fall foliage periods, requiring reservations 3-6 months in advance.
Interior roads: navigation challenges in some parks require careful maneuvering. A Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country visitor cautioned, "Unlevel is an understatement we were in E row and every camper there had front end 4 foot off the ground." Parks with hillier terrain typically present more challenges for larger rigs.
Utility considerations: water pressure and electric service variations affect camping comfort. "Water pressure is pretty low and the sewer pipe is a little high but all around a really solid experience," reported a PA Dutch Country visitor. Older facilities may have limited amperage availability or distance issues requiring longer connection hoses.
