Campgrounds near Loganville, Pennsylvania include a mix of state parks and private facilities within easy driving distance. Notable options include Codorus State Park Campground, approximately 15 miles southwest, and Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground, about 13 miles northwest. The region accommodates diverse camping preferences with tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, yurts, and glamping facilities. Most developed campgrounds operate seasonally, typically from April through October or early November, with Codorus and Gifford Pinchot both closing after Halloween weekend.
Seasonal considerations impact campground operations throughout the area, with most facilities running from spring through fall. "The park is located on a beautiful lake. We picked loop A to stay in the woods. Campgrounds are nicely spaced and clean. Cleanest bathrooms I've seen at a park," noted one visitor to Codorus State Park. Many sites require advance reservations, particularly during summer weekends and holidays. Level terrain varies between campgrounds, with some locations featuring challenging slopes for RVs. Several campgrounds offer electrical hookups ranging from 30 to 50 amp service, while water and sewer connections are available at select locations. Cell service can be spotty in more remote areas, especially in wooded sections of the parks.
Waterfront camping opportunities represent significant draws at both state parks, with lake access for boating and fishing. Indian Rock Campgrounds features creekside sites that provide a more secluded experience while remaining relatively close to town. According to a camper, "We were surprised to find this nice little spot next to the creek right outside of town. The road noise is kind of annoying but the area is beautiful." Shaded sites are highly valued during summer months, particularly in the more open campgrounds. Bathroom and shower facilities receive mixed reviews across campgrounds, with state parks typically maintaining cleaner facilities than some private operations. Family-friendly amenities like playgrounds, swimming areas, and activity programs are available at several locations, including Merry Meadows Recreation Farm, which features miniature golf and seasonal events.

LegendPros- Pool is sparkling clear and new. Mini golf is awesome. Nice people, nice store.
Cons- further from Hershey Park than ideal, lots of seasonal campers leaving for work before dawn in loud trucks, not much privacy, some road noise.
GuideBASE ACCESS REQUIRED!
Electric/Water/Sewer hookup sites for $56 a night! (2 night minimum) Which is a great full hookup price, even though it's gone up $6 since last year. Weekly and monthly pricing available as well.
The sites are neat, well maintained, level, and sunny with concrete pads and paved campground roads. Centrally located laundry facilities and airconditioned bath house. Playground, boat launch, beach volleyball court, disk golf, basketball court, and outdoor pool all within walking distance. Other base amenities include: commissary, gas station, bowling, BBQ, Dunkin', and Greek restaurants, and golf. (I'm sure I'm forgetting something.)
Note: in July it is very buggy - the biting flies are the worst. So bring bug spray or a screened in tent to eat in.
The downside: the reservation system is a major PITA. You have to download a PDF packet, fill it out, and EMAIL it in. When you get your confirmation, it doesn't include a specific site number. You get assigned one when they call you the week of your scheduled check-in for payment completion.
Don't miss out on: the water! My advice would be to reserve one of their boats at the same time you reserve your campsite. The water in this area is great - no jellyfish, low waves. You can SUP, kayak, pontoon boat. Whatever your preference. There are large flats of grasses - which you'd want to avoid with a motor but are so much fun to paddle over. Also check out the Susquehanna National Wildlife Refuge island. You can't go inland, but you can anchor off shore, jump in and wade around the shallows.
Also very driveable to an off-base movie theater, Baltimore, and Havre de Grace.
ScoutWe stayed only one night in primitive tent site which was massive with a turnaround. It was great. There are fire pits and picnic tables and level ground. Very serene. We walked down to the river, breathtaking. Not sure of other amenities as we didn’t use them.
ScoutFrome the moment you drive up the women at the gate is about as welcoming ( as my Pops would say ) "A fart in church.," Great way to start your vacation. Didn't get much better in the office. The one guy that worked there did at least smile at us....
ScoutWhere do I start?
We came to this campground to connect with family who was hiking the AT. We left after one miserable night. Here are some reasons:
A giant confederate flag near the entrance
Highway noise and not one but two train tracks
One Filthy “bathroom”
No shade at our campsite- despite other available sites with some shade
A trail of poison ivy on the narrow path to the river
Cigarette butts everywhere
And a creepy man on a bike who declared he was a local and wouldn’t leave our site while I was alone and insisted on talking to me about the strip club down the street, where to buy condoms and how my tent’s mesh shelf is perfect for drying out my wet panties.
ScoutWe called ahead of time to reserve two sites for two nights for a bunch of people from out of state and some hikers from the AT. They said it was $35 per site per night. When we arrived we were told that we had to pay for three nights because it was a holiday weekend AND that the price was per tent. The porta potties were gross and hadn’t been serviced in a while. It was difficult to use them. During a heat wave we were given a site with little shade when several sites further along with plenty of trees were empty. The plumbed bathroom was dirty and had no soap. The shop did not in fact sell love bait, which cramped our fishing style. There is a loud rail road with constant trains on one side and a very busy highway with loud trucks on the other. The river front was lovely, but with detritus from previous campers on the rocks. We left after one night.
ScoutWell maintained campgrounds with thoughtful touches. Staff very friendly and responsive.
ScoutIts such a beautiful campground and very quite and clean showers and bathrooms
ScoutGreat campsite, plenty of space. It rained a lot and our campsite was a little muddy (not bad) but nearby campsites had large puddles

Site selection timing: For campgrounds with first-come site selection, arriving early is recommended. "As with all thousand trails, this campground is first come best site. While the top part of the campground seemed more communal, we chose the lower, Riverside sites and we're glad we did!" explains a Thousand Trails camper.
