1 campground with availability this weekend
Lancaster County's luxury outdoor accommodations combine rustic charm with modern comforts at several glamping destinations. Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country offers deluxe yurts and premium glamping options in a wooded setting near Manheim, while Lake-in-Wood Campground provides unique glamping experiences including yurts set amid forested terrain in Narvon. Both locations feature full electric hookups, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and private fire rings for evening relaxation. French Creek State Park Campground houses glamping yurts with amenities like electricity, picnic tables, and nearby shower facilities, all within a natural setting that balances comfort with outdoor immersion. One guest shared, "The campground is nestled in PA countryside and gives people the chance to camp, relax and enjoy their surroundings while learning about the unique local culture."
Starlite Camping Resort, situated on a scenic hillside offering panoramic views of the surrounding Pennsylvania Dutch countryside, provides glamping accommodations with access to a community pool, general store, snack bar, and daily organized activities. The property's elevated position creates a distinctive glamping experience with sunset vistas across Lancaster County farmland. Guests can explore nearby attractions including Hershey Park (approximately 30 minutes away) and Lancaster's Amish country attractions. The locations are particularly popular during spring through fall, with most glamping accommodations available from April through October. A visitor noted, "We had a great family weekend at Starlite and will definitely return. The sites were large with trees between providing additional privacy, and the amazing view from the Plateau sites is worth booking early."
"We first had a 2 point site near the river, but when it rains the sites get flooded with runoff from the campground. We moved to a full hookup on the Delaware section."
"I got an amazingly large site with a nice fire pit and picnic table. The site was very level so that was great! Nice indoor and outdoor pools! Cable TV isn't free, but I never use it anyway."
"Tent sites are lined up along the water which is great for fishing (especially when you need to stay close to the littles sleeping in the tent). Lots of benches lined up along the water."
"The entrance in off the main road turns you into the theme park. Fear not. Turn in and follow the road to the right and into the campground. We stayed on site 123 with a 40 ft Allegro Bus."
"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"
"campground so inconveniently located (more on this later) right next to highway I76."
"That said, as the PA Dutch Country RV Resort rests at a slightly higher elevation than the turnpike, I have to admit, we really didn’t notice much of any noise coming from the highway and what’s more,"
"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"
"We stayed at one of the primitive tent sites with no hookups adjacent to the farm field. Watching a horse drawn equipment cutting grass while we cooked dinner was a joy."
"The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire."
"No pets though. B and C loop felt like the spaces were very close to each other. A loop was closed at this point."
"Got there at 11pm and the D loop says no pets allowed."
Available this weekend
from $20 - $90 / night
"There is a quarry close by so you could hear the trucks beeping and the noise from there but that was the only negative thing."
"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. "
from $40 - $60 / night
"Starlite offers a wide variety of amenities such as a community pool, general store, snack bar, playground area, toilets, indoor shower stalls, daily activities, pets permitted, water/electric utilities"
"We had two sites this trip with water and electric, but they do have quite a few full hook-up sites. Overall the sites were large, with trees between, providing additional privacy."
"The "pet loop" was clearly geared towards RVs etc. All of the sites are full electric and more than a few have very little space for a family size tent to be safely away from the fire ring."
"Site 365 at this time of year was very quiet and secluded. Cold it was, 15 degrees was a teeth chattering experience. However our A Liner Ranger kept me warm and cozy."
"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."
"The area up on the hill in the back is next to the CSX train track that runs 24/7. Lazy River Rest does flood when it rains and our relatives had to relocate their first night until it dried out."
TravelerCountry 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!
GuideWe booked two nights mid October not realizing that it's duck hunting season and that hunting is allowed RIGHT by the campground - with kids everywhere. We were jolted out of sleep at 5 am by gun fire right near our site. It kept up for the next hour. In addition, the bathrooms, although clean are in poor condition. Peeling paint everywhere with bare concrete in the showers. For such a pretty site, we had a miserable stay. We left after one night.
GuideYou just can't beat a pennsylvania park. This one is not an exception. Nice clean restroom, plenty of room. Now, what cost a star. Yes, it rained like hell. When we broke camp and go dump. The dump station was overflowing with sewer. Go to the guard shack to tell them, and find another site. None there. Can I go to an unused full hookup to dump? No! I would have to pay for the site. Two hours later, we found a place to dump for $10.
ScoutThe 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.
ScoutThe campground is in excellent condition. The facilities are top notch. The excellence and care of the campground is evident. The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire.
TravelerThere was no hot water in the showers. There are no dog poo stations. There is a dumpster marked “STAFF ONLY”. It’s nice they have a place to stuff the staff!
TravelerOMG! Next to busy interstate, railroad tracks and shooting range. Way to much for me!
GuideA beautiful, well maintained park with lots to do, great bathroom facilities and extremely nice people. The electric sites aren't all together, so you don't have RV's lined up but maybe annoying for folks who are tent camping. Avoid the locations in the mid-30's by the dumpster, both staff and campers start shaking the lid around 6:30. Between 5 AM and noon staff were driving big trucks and ATV's around with loud reverse horns, and slamming the fire pit grills, which they store sideways. Overall I had a really wonderful time, but that's largely down to good sound reduction inside the van. Almost zero cell service. I was able to get a couple of text messages in and out, but seemed to be a fluke.
ScoutPicked the nicest days of the week. Got here and the carousel, Ferris wheel, restaurant, and ice cream shoppe are closed. They are apparently only open 2 days a week, maybe 3. I would have just went down the road to the KOA had I not known this.
Located approximately 15 miles west of Lancaster, Lititz sits at an elevation of 381 feet in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. The surrounding landscape features rolling hills and fertile farmland, with summer temperatures averaging 73°F and winter averages around 32°F. Camping options range from rustic tent sites to full-hookup RV parks, with most facilities open April through November.
Creek exploration: Fishing and kayaking are popular at French Creek State Park Campground, where visitors access two lakes stocked with various fish species. "There are two lakes in French Creek, Hopewell and Scott's Run and each contain many species of fish. 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 one reviewer.
Amish culture immersion: The Amish countryside provides unique cultural experiences within minutes of Old Mill Stream Campground. "Even though the amusement park wasn't open yet, kids still had a good time! The grounds are clean and there's also a small playground and basketball court! An Amish buggy comes through with some great baked goods," shares a visitor.
Mini golf and swimming: Many campgrounds offer on-site recreation, including pools and mini golf courses. "The playground was open and great for the kids, so was mini golf," notes a camper at Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country. During summer months, most facilities maintain extended pool hours until 8 or 9pm.
Private, wooded sites: Pinch Pond Family Campground offers secluded camping spots with good separation between neighbors. "While I suppose there's no shortage of reasons as to why one would stop for a night or a week here at Pinch Pond Family Campground... the entire campground is completely wide open so there is very little privacy apart from a few select locations," a reviewer explains.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathhouses and common areas. "The bath/shower house in this loop was adequate and includes two dish washing stations outside. The showers had good pressure and hot water. It was cleaned often throughout the weekend," reports a visitor at French Creek State Park Campground.
Local dining options: The surrounding Pennsylvania Dutch Country provides authentic local cuisine within short driving distances. "From a foodie standpoint, take my word for it, there is VERY little around these parts and what you can find nearby are local joints, which we loved BTW, including: Mount Gretna Hideaway, Gus' Keystone Family Restaurant, Kountry Kitchen Family Restaurant, Forklift & Palate Restaurant as well as Mount Joy Family Restaurant," advises a Pinch Pond camper.
Weather considerations: The region experiences distinct seasons with humid summers and potentially snowy winters. "We were in the D loop which is rustic with no hookups. Quiet, very few people mid-week. Spacious sites. Bathrooms were just okay. Muddy floors - don't know how often floors are cleaned," reports a French Creek State Park visitor from a July trip.
Train noise: Hersheypark Camping Resort sits near active train tracks that can disturb light sleepers. "Nice camp ground but super loud bc of the trains. Bath houses are nice and clean. I would suggest making sure you aren't close to the tracks bc the trains run all night long!" warns one camper.
Shooting range proximity: Some campgrounds are located near shooting facilities. "My son got poison sumac behind our site, and the nearby shooting range is incredibly loud. It is a nice campground with fun amenities, but we won't visit again," notes a visitor to Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country.
Activity planning: Country Acres Campground offers family-friendly amenities and programs. "This is our first pick campground everytime we go to the area. So well kept, perfect size lots. Nice people," shares a repeat visitor. The pool remains open until early evening during peak season.
Glamping options for first-timers: For families new to camping, glamping near Lititz, Pennsylvania provides comfortable introductions to outdoor stays. "We first had a 2 point site near the river, but when it rains the sites get flooded with runoff from the campground. We moved to a full hookup on the Delaware section. Open, accommodating for our rig," explains a visitor at Circle M RV Camping Resort.
Pet-friendly considerations: Not all loops or glamping accommodations permit pets. "Loop C is the only loop that allows pets. I expected it to be much noisier than it was. All of the dogs were well behaved, and we didn't have any problems as we took our walks around the loop," notes a French Creek State Park camper.
Site selection strategy: When booking at Lake-In-Wood Campground, choose sites carefully for size and access. "The roads were very tight and you really had to watch how you drove through because of the trees. 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," advises an RV camper.
Leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in this hilly region require leveling equipment. "Unlevel is an understatement we were in E row and every camper there had front end 4 foot off the ground. Many other sites were the same. The walk to pool and all other amenities was not pleasant due to hills," reports a visitor to Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country.
Hookup considerations: RV sites vary significantly in hookup quality across campgrounds. "We got pretty lucky and were assigned one of the concrete pads that was pretty level. It is absolutely beautiful out. The grounds are well-kept, and aside from the 8pm Saturday night golf cart parade that was beyond loud, it's been really quiet and peaceful. Excellent cell and gateway service," shares a Circle M RV camper.
