One visitor noted, "Lake In Wood has everything! Indoor pool, outdoor pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, Cafe, arcade, camp store, pond with fishing, kayak and peddle boat rentals, hiking, fenced in dog area, walking trails."

The resort maintains both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a hot tub, and a kiddie pool for family enjoyment. Activities extend beyond the accommodation sites to include mini golf, playgrounds, fishing in stocked ponds, and kayak rentals. Blue Rocks Family Campground offers additional glamping options with access to hiking trails and natural rock formations. Most glamping sites in the region operate seasonally from April through November, with some requiring minimum stay requirements during peak season. According to a camper, "My girlfriends and I just stayed in the yurts for annual glamping trip. Yurts have heat and fans. Full size refrigerator, stove and microwave. Each yurt has a huge deck, 2 picnic tables and fire pit."
"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 next weekend
from $20 - $75 / 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
"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."
"Staff was friendly, general vibe was low key. A lot of year round sites. Only complaint being not a lot for the kids to do aside from ride bike."
"Bathrooms were clean, spots had decent room, a lot of monthly residents, NO dog areas."
"Blue Rocks family campground is close to I78 however it is still off the beaten path. It is very peaceful to camp here as you have different types of environments."
"Ice cream parlor was a bonus and general store was great, well stocked and good prices. The hiking trails near by are wonderful. The boulder feild is a must see!"
"The store was stocked well with essentials, and the women running the store was very helpful and friendly. The campground is very well lit and can be navigated easily at night."
"The road for this row is narrow and there is a fence that makes backing in more difficult, especially for a 30+ ft travel trailer."
"Many local attractions such as Maple Grove raceway, near Amish farms and a plentiful amount of antique shopping."
"Nice place to stay with very friendly and helpful staff. A bit on the expensive side but for an occasional splurge it is wonderful."
"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."
"Mini golf, playgrounds, indoor pool, outdoor pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, Cafe, arcade, camp store, pond with fishing, kayak and peddle boat rentals, hiking, fenced in dog area, walking trails."
"The lake is charming and the pool is great! Don’t forget to try mini golf and have an ice cream cone. We also rented a golf cart “Gnome Mobile” and had a ball driving around the property."
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!
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.
RangerWe stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.
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!
ScoutAs far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.
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.
French Creek State Park Campground offers glamping near Mohnton, Pennsylvania, set within 7,730 acres of forests at an elevation of 700 feet. The park maintains several yurts across different camping loops, with some sites specially designated for pets in Loop C. Weather in the region varies dramatically with temperatures ranging from 20°F in winter to 90°F in summer, requiring campers to prepare for seasonal conditions.
Hiking and exploring: French Creek State Park features numerous trails suitable for all skill levels. "There is a lot of hiking, the lake is beautiful, at least two playgrounds (perfect for our kids), the bathrooms were well maintained. We did take our inflatable kayak out on the water, and it was lovely!" shares Katie M. about French Creek State Park.
Fishing opportunities: Scotts Run Lake and Hopewell Lake contain diverse fish species for anglers to enjoy. "There are several warm water fish in the lakes including northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish. Ice fishing is also allowed at both lakes and the ice thickness is monitored," notes Jen R. from French Creek State Park Campground.
Outdoor activities: Blue Rocks Family Campground offers unique geological features to explore. "This place really has something for everyone! Classic cars, huge playground, lots of activities, friendly staff. The best part was hiking in the boulder field!" says Gayle B. The campground sits adjacent to an impressive glacier rock field that makes for interesting exploration.
Private campsites: Campers appreciate the spacing between sites at many campgrounds. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other. Bathrooms were very nice and clean with large showers," writes Jen R. about French Creek State Park.
Clean facilities: Lancaster-New Holland KOA earns high marks for maintenance. "The campground is very clean, nice spots with gravel and nice views. The store was stocked well with essentials, and the women running the store was very helpful and friendly," reports Nicole S. The campground is noted for being "peaceful, serene, and a little slice of heaven with super clean bathrooms" according to Angie G.
Amish country views: Many glamping options near Mohnton offer views of local Amish farms. "Great no frills place to relax. The daily views of fields, farmers plowing with horses or the buggys going by was great," shares April L. about Lancaster-New Holland KOA. These cultural sights add a unique dimension to the camping experience.
Winter camping considerations: Some campgrounds remain open year-round, requiring proper preparation. "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great! The honor system of payment at the office makes it really easy to come in late and leave early, make sure you have cash on you," advises Galit P. about French Creek State Park.
Campground elevation issues: Starlite Camping Resort sits on hilly terrain which affects site selection. "Yes, it is quite hilly throughout the campground, but the individual sites are very level to park the camper with almost no blocks needed," explains Craig F. The higher elevation provides "the best view we have seen" according to Elizabeth L.
Pet policies vary: Different campgrounds have specific loops or areas for pets. At French Creek, "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," reports Jen R.
Activity access: Old Mill Stream Campground offers convenient access to local attractions. "Clean campground with great access to Dutch Wonderland, outlets and other Lancaster County tourist attractions. Nice creek to fish in," notes William W. The campground sits directly adjacent to Dutch Wonderland amusement park.
Water features: Kids enjoy water activities at multiple campgrounds. "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," writes Ellen C. about French Creek State Park.
On-site recreation: Blue Rocks Family Campground offers unique outdoor play areas. "Our children loved to climb all over the rocks, that is where they spent most of the time. Primitive but fun!" says Terri S. The natural boulder field creates a distinctive playground alternative.
Site selection: Finding level RV sites can be challenging at some locations. "We had sites #32 & #34 in Loop B and the kids had a lot of room to run and play between the two sites. All sites have a flat paved area for your camper. If you have a large camper or 5th wheel you may need to double check what sites can accommodate your RV," advises Jen R. about Hickory Run Family Camping Resort.
Full hookup availability: Different campgrounds offer varying levels of service. "We were able to get a full hookup without having to pay anything extra!" shares Jen R. about Blue Rocks Family Campground. For RVers seeking luxury glamping near Mohnton, the site options range from basic electric to complete hookups.
Navigational challenges: Some campgrounds have tight roads for larger rigs. "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," cautions Mary C. about Lake-In-Wood Campground, while Old Mill Stream has "plenty of room to maneuver a big rig" according to Chuck W.
