Best Campgrounds near Loganville, PA
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.

Sun Retreats Lancaster County - Easter Weekend
Like always we like to begin our camping season with a Easter Weekend Trip, my husband's family is partial to the Lancaster Area, so we headed there to Sun Retreats Lancaster. As we drove up I loved the look and location of the campground. 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. We pulled up to a gate and a guy came out of the shed next to it to check us in.
The campground looked well maintained, the sports were on both sides of the lake and they offered many different options like woods or open, pull through or back up. We choose a really wooded site. It was tight getting in but I can't complain I don't drive the truck. It seemed like there was a fair amount of seasonal sites but they didn't overwhelm the place. I could see also a lot of cabins there were some shaped like teepees, a frontier cabin, and a caboose. They had a fair amount of open grass to play and enjoy. You can bring your own golfcart or they have on site rentals also.
They had an activity list that would help keep everyone busy, they had a mini golf course that was in great shape, an arcade which was definitely lacking in the game department, I think there was 4 pinball machines, 2 Skee ball, 3 racing games, and the play to you win machine. The playground x2 were both in great condition with a lot to keep kids playing on. I can only comment on the indoor pool which at the time was said to be under construction however still open, the water was on the colder side and the hot tube the same temp as the pool, the ceiling had been ripped off so the iron rusting beams were exposed and rust falling down. The kids still went in the pool unfortunately the air from the open window made them too cold so we didn't stay long. I am hoping it will be finished because the concept of the indoor-outdoor pool area looks so fun.
The staff was extremely helpful and super friendly. The store was fully stocked with everything you could want. The bathrooms were all kept so clean and in working order with hot water. We enjoyed the area we ventured out to see the Choo Choo barn, the green dragon flea market, and kitchen kettle village which are a must if your in the area. We also choose to hike the Welsh Preserve and Money Rock. The lake had a path you could walk completely around and you could choose to fish if that's your thing.
I would definitely return to this campground again, we had 8 sites in total and we all really thought it was a wonderful place and really enjoyed our holiday weekend there. It was very busy but the staff was present but not overbearing. People were very respectful and friendly.
Stuart K.LegendThousand Trails PA Dutch Country
Amish Country Charm with a Resort Twist
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’s throw from the PA Turnpike.
While my review from a few years ago provides a ton of detail, I thought I would follow up that review with a topline of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS along with a smattering of new photos.
HIGHLIGHTS:(1) Expansive campground with 250+ sites offering full hookups, giving plenty of options for both short stays and longer visits;(2) Resort-style amenities including pool, mini golf, clubhouse, playgrounds, and organized activities that keep families engaged throughout the day;(3) Beautiful wooded setting with dense tree coverage that creates a surprisingly secluded feel despite proximity to major highways;(4) Ideal location for exploring Pennsylvania Dutch Country, with scenic farmland, covered bridges, and charming nearby towns just minutes away; and(5) Strong sense of community with events like bingo, crafts, and family activities that give it that classic ‘summer camp” vibe.
LOWLIGHTS:(1) Sloped terrain throughout much of the campground can make leveling a bit tricky depending on your site;(2) Close proximity to the PA Turnpike may be a concern for some, even though tree coverage helps reduce both noise and visibility;(3) Wi-Fi is not complimentary and can be an added cost, which feels a bit dated for a“resort” experience;(4) Membership requirement through Thousand Trails can be a barrier for first-time or casual campers; and(5) Limited tent site availability compared to the large number of RV sites, making it less flexible for non-RV travelers
Happy Camping!

Pinch Pond Family Campground & RV Park
Amenity-Packed Campground in PA Dutch Country
Set just off I-76 in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, Pinch Pond Family Campground& RV Park is a large, all-in-one, family-focused campground with a layout that feels more like a small neighborhood than a traditional woods-only campsite. 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 for built-in entertainment.
HIGHLIGHTS:(1) Full-service resort-style amenities including pool, playground, arcade, laundry, propane refills, dump stations, sports field, picnic tables and in-ground fire rings throughout the property;(2) Wide variety of lodging options including RV sites with 30/50 amp hookups, water, sewer and cable, primitive tent sites, and multiple on-site cottages for non-campers;(3) Gated entrance and very welcoming, helpful staff at check-in with a well-stocked camp store offering snacks, ice cream, sundries and souvenirs;(4) Strong family appeal with fishing pond, barn, open play areas and space for kids to roam safely; and(5) Excellent location for regional attractions including Hershey Park, Chocolate World, Amish countryside tours and the nearby wolf sanctuary with guided educational tours.
LOWLIGHTS:(1) Immediate proximity to I-76 means persistent highway noise day and night with no real sound buffer;(2) Access is oddly indirect despite being next to the turnpike, requiring a several-mile loop through countryside roads to reach the entrance;(3) Overall layout is wide open with limited natural privacy between many RV sites;(4) Nearby shooting range produces frequent target practice noise, especially noticeable during early morning hours; and(5) Pricing for primitive tent sites feels disproportionately high compared to full-hookup RV rates.
Happy Camping!

Nice and Simple Spot!
Booked this site about a week before just as a spontaneous one night trip towards the end of fall. Was greeted with a nicely stocked firewood hut on the way in, unfortunately most of the wood wasn't dry due to rain the day before and the wood being out from under the hut awning, but we made do with the stacks of dead wood along the outside of the site. Our site had the main area with the picnic table and fire pit and then a large level tent pad a couple of steps below it. I believe we went the last weekend of the season so it wasn't too populated, despite this being a smaller campsite. We did have neighbors on each side of us and across from us, and the sites are a reasonable distance apart. The trees were thinned out by the time we went so there wasn't much privacy, but I can imagine that when they're grown in it adds much more privacy, at least from nextdoor neighbors. Everyone there was considerate and friendly, even the camp host. The bathrooms were clean, functional, and a short walk away from the site. Would recommend if you want a quick getaway without frill.

Hidden gem
Small family owed for 50 plus years. They care about their guests and treat everyone like they are part of the family. The only thing about this campground is that it doesn't allow tents. Only RVs and pull behind.

Excellent
We had a beautiful spot at a stones throw from the beach area. The water was great and clean and a good temperature at this time of year. Our camping site was huge. We had some people come over and hang out with us and they did not feel cramped. The kids had a fantastic time and definitely wanna come back.

Great creekside spot
The weather wasn’t too great, but the campaign joy could not be hampered. We had a great spot along the creek, which was also a short walk from the lake. The bathroom facilities are fantastic nice and clean couldn’t be happier.

The activities and store weren't outrageous," according to Sharon L., who stayed at Merry Meadows Recreation Farm, which offers mini golf and seasonal events for families.

What campers like
Spacious sites: Many campers appreciate the generous spacing between sites. At Otter Creek Campground, "Sites are spacious and nice! Restrooms clean! Showers good; cost 50¢ for 6 min, but that's fine...ensures enough hot water for everyone and no waste," reports Gerald B.
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness varies significantly between campgrounds. "The bath house was clean. It's park is located on a beautiful lake," shares a camper at Codorus State Park. At Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground, "Bathrooms were in good shape. Sites were of ample size and well spaced."

The site was nice with the tent pad backing up to the trees," explains Melissa F. about Gifford Pinchot State Park. Several campgrounds offer fishing opportunities with proximity to waterways.
Wooded sites: Many campers prefer the shade and privacy of wooded sites. "Completely wooded and awesome pool available in summer months," notes Deb H. about Codorus State Park Campground, while another camper explains, "The 'full shade' sites were amazing. Large, fire ring with grate, and nice picnic table."
What you should know
Road noise issues: Some campgrounds have traffic noise despite rural settings. At Indian Rock Campgrounds, a visitor notes, "The road noise is kind of annoying but the area is beautiful."
Seasonal closures: Most campgrounds in the region operate from April through October or early November. Elizabethtown-Hershey KOA lists their season as "Open 5/8/2020 - 11/1/2020," which is typical for the area.
Payment policies: Some campgrounds have strict payment policies. One camper mentioned, "One of the complaints was they work on cash. Yeah, I knows it's not popular because most of us live in a plastic dominated world. I read it in advance and I just made sure we had some with us."
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.
Tips for camping with families
Animal attractions: Farm animals are a big draw for children at some campgrounds. "We happened to be there on the weekend a magician came, my kids loved it. They have an indoor and outdoor pool. Nice playground," shares Leanne B. about Circle M.

Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain that can be challenging for RVs. "Roads are narrow, but the sites are large and level. The lake is nice and they stock it with trout," notes Nate J. about Cedar Lake Family Campground.
Hookup availability: Electrical service varies between campgrounds, with some offering 30-amp and others 50-amp connections. "Nice sized sites, wooded, paved roads beautiful lake. Not a garbage can to be found park wide! Dumpster at either end that's it," reports John K. about Gifford Pinchot.
Primitive vs. serviced sites: Many campgrounds have upgraded their tent sites to include utilities. "They have upgraded the tent sites since last year, no more primitive sites, all the tent sites are now mulch pad with water and electric," explains Melissa C. about Elizabethtown-Hershey KOA.
Site selection considerations: When choosing an RV site, consider proximity to bathhouses and amenities. "We were in site 114.
