    Little Mexico Campground

    Friendly Staff

    Little Mexico is a nice campground with lots of activities in the summer, situated on Penn’s Creek about 15 minutes from Lewisburg, PA. We camped there twice this summer and had enjoyable visits. The road leading to the campground is narrow and winding, but we didn’t experience any trouble. Check in was a breeze as all the paperwork and payment were taken care of prior to arrival and all we needed to do was pick up our gate pass, map and head to the site. The employees in the front office are amazing and some of the friendliest you will meet. The other employees we interacted with during our stays were equally as friendly and helpful! 

    Overall the sites are good sized, level and the majority have full hook-ups. The water pressure is good, electric stable, and good cable TV connections. There is no internet at the sites and only a moderate cell phone signal. Most of the transient sites are right next to each other with little barriers between. Tubs of wood can be delivered to the site and this good quality firewood! For$10 a load, stock up because it burns well with little obnoxious smoke. 

    There are various activities each weekend during the summer, a huge pool, playground, mini-golf, and of course Penn’s Creek to float. The only negative would be some of the seasonal sites do not feel the quiet hour times apply to them. Overall, Little Mexico is a nice campground in a beautiful location, with great people operating it!

    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! : )

    Ricketts Glen State Park Campground

    Waterfalls!!

    The biggest draw to this state park (which no one in Pennsylvania I spoke with seemed to know about) is the 22 waterfalls! We saw 18 of them on a four-mile moderate hike, but if you want to see the additional four, you could make it a seven-mile hike. The trails are very well marked. 

    We stayed in the large loop, which is a peninsula on Lake Jean. Many of the sites have lake views. The bathhouse was clean but not adequate for 73 sites. The campground was about ¾ full and there was often a wait in the bathroom. Showers looked reasonable but I did not use them.

    There were many tent campers in this loop, which does not allow pets (the other, smaller loop does allow pets). There are no hookups at all in the park. The water had been tested earlier in the season and unsafe levels of manganese were detected. All water spigots were shut off and covered but we were told it was safe to wash our dishes and brush our teeth. However, the water for the dishwashing sink was turned off as well as the water in the restroom at the trailhead. Since we had a reservation, we received a phone call in advance of our stay letting us know about this.

    There are trails to the beach, but we woke to rain the next morning, so we did not explore this. 

    One trash/recycle area a distance away from the campsites which seems typical for PA state parks. Alcohol is strictly forbidden– we were warned that if a ranger saw any alcohol outside of our vehicle, we would be cited. Quiet hours are 9 pm– 8 am, which is more restrictive than other state parks, however, some did not observe these quiet hours (a guitar-playing singing camper thought he was talented, but I disagree!)

    Pioneer Campground

    Don't rent Cabin 1

    Looks cute from the outside but once you get in you are immediately disappointed. The cabin had a smell, a wrinkly floor, and was very dark. There is a lack of any shelf or cabinets and only minimal hooks to put your things. Even the TV was on the dining table and you can't use the remote from the bed either. We used the table benches and top of fireplace to place our stuff. We also had no AC. The signs on the wall said make sure you turn off the AC, but no AC. Our friends stayed in cabin 6 and it was so cute, bright, and had AC. Our other friend stayed in 2 and it was much better than ours as well. 3 was better too.

    In addition they would not honor a AAA discount due to already paying, what?!

    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!.

    Tuscarora State Park Campground

    Park for recreation

    This park has no tent camping. They offer cabins and yurts, but have no sites for people to set up tents. The main attraction for this park is their lake, which you can swim in, fish, kayak or drop in a boat. There is a playground for kids to play in that is well maintained. There are hiking trails in the back side of the park, from the main entrance. The visitor center is only open during the week. The cabins and yurts have electricity and running water. They are great if you want the outdoor experience while getting the option of a bed. If you want tent camping, check out locust lake state park which isn't far away.

    Tuscarora State Park Campground

    Tuscarora state forest

    Off the beaten path in the middle of “pennsyl-tucky”. No cell service at all unless you drive up to the top of the mountain. It is free to camp at one of the spots but you must call the respective ranger station ahead of time and let them know your car name ect and they issue you a permit free of charge. No one will bother you here you get a car driving by here and there. There are fire pits already in place. Is mainly a pull off off of a dirt road that runs along a creek all the way through the state forest. There are bear in the region so be weary with your food. No noise pollution. No light pollution. No large towns anywhere near here all towns with very minimal population. There are trails throughout the forest but tall grass filled with ticks. Dog friendly!! Found a couple of large black rat snakes near our campsite. There are rattle snakes in the region I’ve been told too.

    Tuscarora State Park Campground

    Glamping

    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, I believe. Yurts have 2 sets of bunk beds with one set having full size mattress on bottom. Yurts have heat and fans. Full size refrigerator, stove and microwave. No water but directly across from facilities with basin sinks outside for cleaning dishes, etc. Each yurt has a huge deck, 2 picnic tables and fire pit. Restrooms and showers are a hop, skip and jump from yurts and well maintained. Also each yurt comes with a moor skip to keep kayaks, paddleboards or canoes at lake. Beautiful lake surrounded by trails and includes beach area and playground. Dogs are allowed in the park but not in campgrounds (yurts and cabins). There is no tent camping here but is available at Locust Lake State Park, just a few miles away. Alcohol is prohibited. Must park in overnight lot after unloading.


Guide to Lewisburg

The Lewisburg area of Pennsylvania sits at the confluence of the West Branch Susquehanna River and Penns Creek, with elevations ranging from 450 to 700 feet throughout the camping region. The local climate features warm summers with occasional afternoon thunderstorms and comfortable spring and fall seasons ideal for outdoor recreation. Camping facilities near Lewisburg operate primarily from April through October, with limited winter availability at select locations.

What to do

Creek exploration: Lake Glory Campground offers direct access to water activities without leaving the property. "The creek is stocked and the fish are always hungry. 10 minutes to Knoebels with the mighty Phoenix. The best wooden coaster on the planet," notes camper Vince L.

Amusement park visits: Knoebels Campground provides convenient access to the adjacent theme park. "Connected to the park, a great way to visit! If you're an early to bed kinda person it'll be tough, the roller coasters are right there!" reports Joe B.

Historic mill tours: Little Buffalo State Park Campground features educational opportunities beyond typical outdoor recreation. "The historical mill was well worth the trip. By far the highlight of ours as well. Especially since they engaged the wheel and actually ground corn!" says Chelsea K.

Waterfall hiking: Ricketts Glen State Park Campground offers spectacular trails with multiple waterfalls. "The biggest draw to this state park is the 22 waterfalls! We saw 18 of them on a four-mile moderate hike, but if you want to see the additional four, you could make it a seven-mile hike," reports Lee D.

What campers like

Spacious riverfront sites: Little Mexico Campground receives praise for its waterfront camping areas. "We have a group of 4 campers and we already have our 2021 reservations. The seasonal folks are very nice and we enjoy tubing down the river right to the campground," writes Jim S.

Private bathroom facilities: Many yurt camping options near Lewisburg, Pennsylvania feature upgraded amenities. "The bath houses are each their own individual rooms split into shower/changing room. I like the privacy and it made it much easier when my daughter was small," reports Gayle B. about Lake Glory Campground.

Diverse accommodation options: The Lewisburg area offers standard camping alongside premium options. "Knoebels Campground was huge, and very crowded on the weekends. We arrived on a Thursday night, and pretty much had the whole place to ourselves," notes Jen V.

Yurt availability: Ricketts Glen State Park features yurt camping that provides a blend of comfort and outdoor experience, with heated options available during shoulder seasons. "A typical PA State Park campground. Nice enough, but awesome location. Make sure you check out the falls!" advises Rachel B.

What you should know

Seasonal water quality issues: Some campgrounds experience occasional water problems. "The water had been tested earlier in the season and unsafe levels of manganese were detected. All water spigots were shut off and covered but we were told it was safe to wash our dishes and brush our teeth," reports Lee D. at Ricketts Glen.

Site spacing variations: Poe Paddy State Park Campground offers different types of camping experiences based on location. "The experience is likely highly site dependent, as there are a few distinct areas to stay depending on your needs and luck. There is NO cell service and park rangers do 'rounds' but aren't stationed at the site," explains Joanna H.

Reservation requirements: Most yurt camping facilities near Lewisburg require advance booking. "Book early... these sites fill fast!" advises Eiron S. about Lake Glory Campground.

Off-grid experience: Certain parks offer a more primitive experience. "I wouldn't recommend big campers as most of the spots would be a pain to back into. But if you're looking for a quiet campground in the woods, this is it!" shares Jolene J. about Poe Paddy State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Water access considerations: When choosing a family campsite, consider proximity to water features. "Our site was right along the river, the view was amazing and the site was huge. The pool was great, the kids loved the water slides," notes Traci F. about Splash Magic RV Resort.

Alternative accommodation for poor weather: Yurt camping around Lewisburg provides protection from inclement conditions. "We would love to see this place during peak season! We got here yesterday during the start of off season and it was still functioning at a high standard!" reports Brittany V. about Jellystone Park at Milton.

Playground quality: Look for campgrounds with well-maintained play areas. "The playground was huge and well maintained. Staff was friendly and attentive," shares Debbie W. about Splash Magic.

Schedule planning: Plan your stay based on programmed activities. "They always have a lot going on and no one should get bored there," recommends Traci F. about Splash Magic RV Resort.

Tips from RVers

Electric reliability: During peak usage times, power can fluctuate at some campgrounds. "Electric ran below 110 volts the entire weekend and the water had a brownish tint to it. It was a VERY hot weekend so I should mention that everyone had their air running," cautions Debbie W. about Splash Magic.

Site leveling challenges: Little Buffalo State Park Campground requires some preparation. "Our full hookup site was large with table and fire ring, and required some leveling. Not much shade in the full hookup loop, so was happy to have electricity for A/C," shares James S.

Maneuverability: Consider campground layout when bringing larger rigs. "Navigating to the site itself definitely tests your skills when you have a total rig length of 52'. Sites were SUPER tight. We were packed in like sardines," notes Debbie W. about Splash Magic.

Campground proximity to attractions: Choose your campground based on travel priorities. "The campground was small, clean and quiet. Not much luck fishing but all the turtles were cool and just paddling around in the kayak is always a good time," reports Chelsea K. about Little Buffalo State Park.
