    Hersheypark Camping Resort

    Something for Every Type of Camper!

    This campground has a little something for everyone, from full hook up sites neatly stacked next to each other, to quiet patches of grass next to the river. After spending two nights up in the electrical hook-up area closest to the train tracks, we decided that we needed a better night’s sleep. Yes, the trains run all night long, and no, we don’t have air conditioning so couldn't just close the windows. So, we moved down to one of the primitive sites next to the river and enjoyed ourselves much more, plus all the solar we needed. 

    With all the options within this resort, I can understand why it is so popular. Plus, there’s the whole Hershey Park with shuttles running to and from the campground all day long. So, it’s got that going for it. As a campground resort this park aims to serve everyone. If you need your trash picked up, just leave the garbage bag in front of your site, and someone will be along soon enough to collect it. The bathrooms are immaculate, air conditioned, but many of the showers had wonky temperature controls so check it out before you commit.  Each bathroom building also offers laundry machines to take care of those necessities as well. The campground has a large playground, game room, gift shop and a large outdoor pool. 

    Nearby, closer than you might even want, you can find food, groceries, gas, booze and traffic (at least during convention center event weekends). But there are also some really cool mom and pop restaurants, some craft beverage drinkeries, and places to walk, bike and get into some disc golf. This is close enough to be a bedroom community of Harrisburg, so the park is basically located in a tucked away corner of suburbia. If you have the time, go to the Grandview Winery nearby they have a lovely selection of vintages which really hold up to this wine snob’s approval. 

    The campsites are well spaces apart, unless within the central loop, and give the allure of being tucked away in the forest. Water is well spaced and is close by. The walk to the bathroom however, can be a stretch depending on where you park so plan according to your needs. But the woods provide an easy way to answer the call! : )

    Tohickon Valley County Park

    Great stop for a Bikepacker

    No electrical and no pets allowed in camp sites. But plenty of trees and huge fire rings in each spot. An RV would have a tough time but for car camping it’s great. The Delaware Canal is nearby with the tow path for biking. That makes this a nice Bikepacking stop.

    Knoebels Campground

    Clean, quiet, inexpensive, fun place to camp!

    Knoebels campground is situated next to Knoebels amusement park and offers sites for tent campers and RVs, as well as cabins.

    There is electricity at every site but not water. There are fill stations throughout the campgrounds. Most sites are level and shaded. There are nice sturdy wooden platforms for tent campers.

    The bath houses are clean and well maintained. There are outside sinks with mirrors, laundry facilities, shower stalls, and toilet stalls. Or if you prefer there are also traditional bathrooms with showers.

    Quiet hours are enforced between 10p and 8a.

    Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. Wood is available by the bucket near the check in building. Sites are inexpensive and are all a short walk, or free shuttle ride, to the park!.

    Philadelphia-West Chester KOA

    Nice Campground Near Philadelphia

    West Chester KOA This is a really nice KOA not too far from downtown Philly. The campground is located in a beautiful part of the Pennsylvania countryside with rolling hills which meant the roads getting there are narrow and windy. A bridge nearby the campground was washed out earlier by a hurricane so we had to take an alternative route going about thirty minutes out of our way. (Make sure you check their website for directions!) There is a lot to do in the surrounding area like visiting the historical sites in downtown Philadelphia, Valley Forge, or exploring Amish country. 

    This is a typical KOA with lots of amenities and activities for kids– swimming pool, jump pad, miniature golf, volleyball, butterfly garden, gem mining, playground, store, dog park, nature trail, etc. There is a large pool area with pavilion but it was closed during our stay since we were there early in the season. The campground is right on the Brandywine River which is a slow meandering pretty river that is great to get your feet wet or go for a paddle. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent if you have time and as there is very little current in the river you can paddle out and back without any trouble. There is a nice, short nature trail which was nice to walk our dog and she enjoyed getting wet in the river. 

    The campground is hilly which means that a fair number of sites are not level. Our site (#27) was level for our RV but the patio sloped downhill and we could not use our picnic table or find a level spot for our chairs. Some sites are “premiums” with paved patios, Adirondack chairs, fancy firepits, BBQ grill, and tables and chairs with an umbrella. These sites are really nice, but you pay a lot more for them. Some sites are located adjacent to the river with nice waterfront views, but beware some might be muddy. There are lots of camping cabins and a couple of glamping tents. 

    Overall, the campground is very clean with no trash lying around and the grass was mowed and trimmed. The 50-amp electric was good as was the water pressure. The sewer connection uphill from our site so it did not drain properly. There is basic cable but since you are so close to Philly there are plenty of over-the-air channels. The Wi-Fi at our site worked well. Garbage is picked up at your site. The surrounding area has plenty of restaurants, shopping, and interesting things to see and do.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Perfect even in the Rain

    First time camping at this park and it was perfect. Even though it rained all weekend, we explored the area by car, even tried some fishing off the pier and we got to get some much needed rest and relaxation in. D Loop seemed like the best loop (for tent campers such as us). Pretty spacious between sites. No pets though. B and C loop felt like the spaces were very close to each other. A loop was closed at this point. Bathhouses can use an upgrade but has flush toilets and hot showers which is all you need.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Dog owners read!

    There’s four loops. All connected A through D. We just needed a place to park and sleep so I got D011. Got there at 11pm and the D loop says no pets allowed. Not sure why when they are at every other loop but we had no where else to go and the area is pretty far off from anywhere else so the ol lab stayed in the camper. The bathrooms are tile and really nice with showers. And it was really quiet and chilly so a nice fall camp site. Just know ahead of time if you’re a dog owner!

    Allentown KOA

    Awesome campground

    Really nice campground. Staff was friendly and helpful. It’s very secluded, no highway noise. Our spot backed up right to a creek and it was beautiful. Only giving 4 stars because the toilets had problems and the dump station didn’t have running water. Would definitely return regardless.


Guide to Lenhartsville

Lenhartsville sits at an elevation of approximately 400 feet in the eastern Pennsylvania highlands, surrounded by undulating terrain and rural farmland. The area experiences all four seasons distinctly, with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F during peak camping months. Lenhartsville's location near the Blue Mountains provides access to various camping environments from forested settings to lakeside options within a 30-mile radius.

What to do

Boulder field exploration: 8-mile hiking trail to the Pinnacle: Blue Rocks Family Campground serves as a starting point for hikers seeking panoramic views. "Our site was at the base of one of the most popular hiking trail, The Pinnacle. It's nestled in the woods and is very rustic. Really gives you that camping feel!" according to Darrien K.

Kayaking on Scott's Run Lake: French Creek State Park Campground offers water recreation on two lakes. "We spent Saturday afternoon fishing but not catching anything at Scott's Run. It's a beautiful location and it was still a fun way to spend the day with the kids away from the site," notes Ellen C.

Creek access for fishing: Multiple sites provide stream access for anglers looking for freshwater options. "There is a creek where you can go fishing. There is a playground, pool, arcade, and office store. We mainly come out to use the outdoor shooting range nearby," explains Melissa K. from Jim Thorpe Camping Resort.

Mountain biking the local trail system: The region offers various trail systems suitable for riders of all skill levels. "There are trails for mountain biking or hiking, a frisbee golf course, playground at the campground and at the lake, and an amphitheater at the campground where they hold events," says Jen R.

What campers like

Private wooded sites: Many campgrounds offer secluded spots away from neighboring campers. "As long as you don't stay right across from the bath houses you will find ample shade at your site. There are so many trees and brush in between most sites you can't even really see your neighbors," according to Jen R.'s review of French Creek State Park.

Waterfront camping options: Mauch Chunk Lake Park provides sites directly on the water. "You can get sites right on the water that are nice size. If you go during the week, it's quite calm. I like that I can launch my paddle board from my sight and the water is so clean and clear," writes Lisa S.

Pet-friendly accommodations: For those traveling with animals, specific loops and sites accommodate pets. "We have stayed at French Creek in the past however, we have never stayed in Loop C before. This is the only loop that allows pets. I expected it to be much noisier than it was. All of the dogs were well behaved," notes Jen R.

Off-grid relaxation: Rolling Hills Retreats provides glamping close to Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania with minimal distractions. "It rained the weekend we went but it didn't ruin our time what so ever, somehow the fire was still roaring in down pouring rain - we were able to ground our energy from the earth which is hard to do in a concrete city," explains Jillian P.

What you should know

Yurt availability is limited but growing: Several parks now offer yurt accommodations in the region surrounding Lenhartsville. "My girlfriends and I just stayed in the yurts for annual glamping trip. We reserved 3 of 4 yurts for first weekend in June...non peak season. Peak season requires minimum 5 day reservation," shares Mandy F. from Tuscarora State Park Campground.

Seasonal operations affect availability: Most campgrounds have limited operating seasons. "Sites were huge! Hiking trail was about a mile up and back but cool. Lots of pull through sites. Bathrooms very clean and stocked with stuff you might need," reports Kelly J. from Allentown KOA, which operates April 1 to November 1.

Site terrain varies significantly: The geology of the region creates diverse camping surfaces. "Loop C Site 36...As long as you don't stay right across from the bath houses you will find ample shade at your site. We had electric however no water or sewer hookup. There was a spigot for water at the next site over from us," explains Jen R.

Bear-aware protocols in place: The wooded areas support wildlife that requires proper food storage. "We were warned to be cautious about leaving food out as there have been some bear sightings," notes Jennifer D. from Hickory Run State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Playground proximity: Select sites near recreation areas for easier child supervision. "There is a large open field in the loop we camped in with a swing set on it. This was nice for families with young kids," observes Jen R. from French Creek State Park.

Swimming options for different ages: Hickory Run State Park Campground offers family-friendly water recreation. "There is also a lake for swimming. Be aware that this area has a high bear population and all campers are required to keep food items in their vehicles or trailers when not at the site," advises Shirley M.

Kid-friendly hiking trails: Choose routes suitable for younger explorers. "The boulder field was the highlight of our camping trip. The campground has great playgrounds, several well-marked trails, and functional (if dirty and rustic) restrooms and showers," reports Shayna.

Educational opportunities: Several parks offer learning activities for children. "The visitors center boasts the most modern updates and a truly lovely interactive museum displaying the history and current wildlife of the park," adds Shayna from Hickory Run State Park.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Jim Thorpe Camping Resort requires preparation for uneven terrain. "The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because our site wasn't level and it took hours to get it right. After that... we had the best time!! Tons of trails and creeks," shares Angie G.

Hookup availability varies: Not all sites offer full amenities. "We had a large pull-through site and enjoyed our stay. Nice stream running through camp," notes Craig C. about his experience at Allentown KOA.

Pull-through accessibility: Allentown KOA offers convenient options for larger rigs. "When I arrived, check-in was easy and professional. A host had me follow him to a super convenient pull-through site, and stayed to make sure I was all set. The gravel site was level, so I didn't even have to unhook from my truck," reports Corby M.

Dump station services: Many campers appreciate convenient waste disposal options. "They allow to dump and fill fresh water (sign at the entrance says that as well) for a small 10$ which is quite nice. Was quick and convenient, lady at the front desk was very kind!" shares Christoph from Allentown KOA.
