Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mount Holly Springs, PA

Several RV campgrounds operate within 30 miles of Mount Holly Springs, Pennsylvania. Western Village RV Park in Carlisle provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service and remains open year-round. Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm offers RV sites from April to October with electric, water, and sewer connections. Drummer Boy Camping Resort in Gettysburg accommodates big rigs on gravel pads with 50-amp service, operating seasonally from April through October. Sites at many parks feature standard amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and cable TV hookups. Space between units varies significantly by location, with some parks having tight spacing. "The sites are so small that my truck was either parked over the firering or blocking our door. Our slideout is 3 inches from the neighbor site's picnic table," noted one visitor about Western Village RV Park.

Advance reservations are strongly recommended during peak seasons, particularly for weekend stays near Gettysburg and Hershey attractions. Most campgrounds provide sanitary dump stations, though placement can be inconvenient at some locations. Cell service varies throughout the region, with Verizon coverage generally reliable but spotty in more remote areas. Pet-friendly sites are available at most parks, though some impose breed or size restrictions. Propane refill stations operate at several campgrounds including Pinch Pond Family Campground. According to reviews from The Dyrt, some campgrounds experience significant highway noise, particularly those near Interstate 76. Winter camping options are limited, with Western Village RV Park among the few facilities maintaining year-round operations. Pull-through sites accommodate larger rigs at select locations but may require early booking during summer months.

    Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country

    Camping in Amish Country @ Its Best

    I don’t know if the Amish camp, but regardless, if you’d like to experience what it’s like to go camping in Amish country then Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country RV Resort has you covered. First of all, whenever I see that word ‘resort’ I always wonder – is it really a resort? And, well, while we're on that particular question, what makes a place a resort in the first place? In my estimation, a resort has to have a pool and likely some of those splash pools, probably gated or requires some sort of secure admittance, full of recreation options, is a restful respite and (very probably) features a Tiki Hut or some version of an outdoor bar that is serving up delicious libations. Apart from that very last amenity, this particular RV campground destination ticks most of the boxes.

    So, should you be looking for an authentic Quaker environ to enjoy some of the best of what the great Keystone State has to offer, then you might want to give PA Dutch Country RV Resort some consideration, but before you do, you’ll need to secure a membership with Thousand Trails in order to access this, and indeed the other 250 or so other campgrounds this camping conglomerate has throughout the US. The biggest downside to this particular campground is its very close proximity to the PA Turnpike, which while convenient, might detract a bit from the peace & quiet you might be expecting when here at your new-found camping ‘resort.’ 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, this campground is completely surrounded by a fairly dense forest, which likely is what blocks any irritable sound and most certainly blocks any highway or traffic visibility.

    Should you decide to leave ‘the reservation’ for any reason, you’ll be engulfed by the incredibly rich, verdant countryside populated by incredibly rural residents who’s ancestors settled this vast rich farmland a few hundred years ago. Today, the Pennsylvania Dutch countryside (of which my Irish ancestors intermingled with a long time ago) is a combination of rolling hills in a plush countryside punctuated by massive rolled bays of hay in the surrounding fields, covered wooden bridges and the occasional quaint New England well-preserved charming towns that you will be sure to encounter. So, if you have camping on your mind, discovering a spot like PA Dutch Country RV Resort places you in the heart of one of the most picturesque natural landscapes anywhere in the Keystone State.

    Should you need directions to this campground, it’s just off Exit 44 of PA Turnpike or Exit 60 & 60A off of I78. Here at PA Dutch Country RV Resort you’ll encounter a destination offering up 267 back-in and pull-through slots with full hook-ups (30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage) for RVs in the midst of a fairly decent wooded surrounding with about 6 tent sites offering 15 amp electric and running water. You will discover that no matter where you look on this property, you will have to contend with sloping land as this campground appears to be situated right on the side of a heavily wooded hill. That said, we didn’t have any problems laying out our campsite that came with the standard-issued picnic table and in-ground fold-up fire ring. Don’t have an RV, 5th Wheeler or Tent? Not a problem, as the good folks here at PA Dutch Country RV Resort will rent you one of their 3 cottages for the night.

    As previously mentioned, with the term ‘resort’ there should be a ton of amenities that one conjures up and PA Dutch Country RV Resort does not disappoint with plenty of amenities, inclusive of: 3 fairly massive restroom & shower facilities, Wi-Fi service (at a cost), trading post / camp store, swimming pool, walking paths, clubhouse/ office, playing card room, church service, crafts & arts, family bingo, community library, mini golf course, basketball court, horseshoe pits, kids playgrounds, fire pit, designated picnic & BBQ areas, ranger station, recreation hall, cornhole, basketball court, designated dump stations, water stations, ice for sale, propane refueling station, RV storage, Laundry-O-Mat and pet friendly.

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you are an RVer or 5th Wheeler, the best sites IMHO are those that back up to the periphery and are northernmost up the slight embankment as you’ll have greater privacy and less noise being furthest away from all of the action in the center of this campground resort – these sites include: #C1– C5, #D9– D17 and #E44– E49; (2) Should you grow weary of trying to conjure up that next meal from the depths of your Cordova roto-molded cooler or from the confines of your onboard mini-fridge, while there’s not a ton of restaurants around these parts, there are a few and they are pretty amazing, including favorites Brick Tavern Inn and The West End, McCoole’s @ The Historic Red Lion Inn and Sage Alley Brewery; (3) In the event that you need to replenish any of your supplies, rest assured as in nearby Quakertown, there’s a Giant & Aldi’s grocery store as well as a local Target, Walmart, TJMaxx, Kohl’s and Link Beverages to stock up on the 21+ liquid refreshment; (4) Should you be towing your canoe or kayak with you and are eager to get the beak of your waterbird wet, then head on over due east of Quakertown Campground to Nockamixon SP where there’s a sizeable, yet skinny lake just begging for you to navigate it and get some good, hard oaring in; and (5) As a tent camper, while there are only 6 or so spots to choose from, you’ll be happy to know that these are also located on the periphery, with #L1& L2 being southernmost, which I would avoid altogether as this places you too close to the highway) and #T9– T12, which are located northernmost and are the best tent campsites to book.

    Happy Camping!

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport MD

    KID FRIENDLY

    This is a huge campground geared around kids. We didn't bring any with us this time and were just staying here overnight. We are in pull through site 753, pretty level gravel site, full hookups, picnic table and fire ring. The site wasn't well cleaned, grease dumped in the gravel, dead grass, lots of stink bugs! Also had to finagle the cable line to get it to work. There are very clean showers and restrooms, large camp store, restaurant, mining for kids, Waterpark, and pool. Many cabins, pull through, back in, and tent sites.

    Thousand Trails Hershey

    Convenient to Hersheypark

    The campground is part of Hershey and as such offers good discounts to Hersheypark. While it offers nice amenities and a shuttle to Hersheypark, the campground itself is very tight, cramped, and hard to navigate. The sites are so small that many tow vehicles have to park partially on the narrow access roads making it difficult to get in and out of with a big rig.

    We stayed here in a Class A motor home.

    Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA

    Awesome campground while exploring Gettysburg Battlefield!

    We couldn't have been more pleased with this campground! The usual variety of sites, back-in and pull through, 50/30/20 amp service with full hookups.  Cable has the usual channels, about 20, available for $2.00 per night.  WIFI is free and we had good service, even though we were quite far from the office.  The site was level and needed no additional blocking, a fire pit and picnic table with ample outdoor sitting room.  A wooded setting gave plenty of shade and lent to the atmosphere of having more room than we actually did.  Located about 4 miles from town it is far enough for that country feel but close enough to be convenient.  The camp store was well stocked with basic needs as was the gift shop.  Trash is picked up daily, just leave it at the entrance to your site when you leave in the morning.  Cell service wasn't the best, Verizon had about 2 bars.  I can't say enough good things about the staff, from check-in and being escorted to our site with help backing in to filling up the propane on the way out everyone was courteous and helpful.  We felt secure at all times, and noticed a staff member frequently driving through on a golf cart.  A dog playground, kiddie playground, pool, putt putt, and other activities for the family.  All in all a very positive experience and a definite thumbs up for this campground!!

    Twin Bridge Campground

    Great Site, Great Staff

    Took our new Fifth Wheel for a shakedown trip and decided to try Twin Bridges Campground. Staff was polite, amenities are great and clean, and everyone was friendly and polite. Big spacious sites, and a honeywagon to make things easier (there weren't any full hookup sites the I saw besides the long term spaces). Would definatley stay here again.

    Little Buffalo State Park Campground

    A Hidden Gem In Central PA

    The campground has approximately 35 sites, most with water and electric, which is rare for many PA state parks. The sites are mostly level, gravel, and good sized for averaged sized RV’s. Larger rigs may have some issues with site length on a few sites, so check ahead of time, but there are a couple pull through sites. Fire rings and picnic tables are at each site, but no wifi in the campground area. We did have cell phone service at our campsite.

    The sites along the outer side of the look are more wooded than the inner sites.  The bathhouse is modern, very clean and well maintained. A playground is near bathhouse in the campground, along with several hiking trails. The dump station is easily accessible. Firewood is also available for purchase at the campground.

    The campground is located across the road from the actual state park, which is beautiful and well maintained. A large lake is the centerpiece surrounded by multiple hiking trails, picnic areas, and a large swimming pool/aquatics area (in season). The road going to the park and campground is well maintained, with very wide shoulders for easy access, biking, and running. Fishing and boat rental are available on the lake.

    We had a wonderful weekend at LBSP and plan to include it on our “Go-To” places to visit and camp.

    Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA

    Camping Gem Near the Battlefields

    We had a great stay at Gettysburg/ Battlefield KOA Holiday in Gettysburg, PA. 

    We stayed in a level pull-thru site(#14) with deluxe picnic table, swinging Adirondack glider, and fire pit. The site was big enough for our motor home and Jeep. Full hook-ups with 50-amp service. 

    Lots of mature shade trees made the site more comfortable given the July heat. The paver patio with seating and natural landscaping with well-placed boulders made it quite comfortable. 

    Wow, what a great place to stay when visiting the town of Gettysburg and nearby battlefields. 

    From the escort to our site and friendly interactions with the staff, we immediately felt at home. The site was covered with clean gravel(which I like to keep sand and dirt outside), the camp store was well-stocked, the pool was inviting, the utilities all worked great, daily trash collection was convenient, immaculate landscaping, and a 2:00 PM check-out make this place a gem when visiting the Gettysburg area. 

    Just 15-minutes to historic sites, restaurants, and breweries. 

    Everything seemed clean and well-maintained. 

    Bottom Line: This is a great campground in a great location and we can’t wait to go back! 

    THINGS I ESPECIALLY LIKED: 

    1. Beautifully landscaped site 

    2. Well maintained and clean campground 

    3. Close to town of Gettysburg and battlefields

    Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground

    Basic amenities and activities for the average camper

    Large campground with electric RV/camper sites as well as non-electric tent sites. Several bathroom and shower facilities. Lake-side sites are available and each site comes equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and parking spot. Friendly staff, decently maintained. There were several planks missing from our picnic table and the parking spot was a mud hole. Some pet friendly sites are available as well. A snapping turtle stopped by for a visit at our campsite and ended up laying eggs! Quite a sight to see, there is plenty of wildlife around to enjoy during your stay.

    Thousand Trails Circle M

    Beautiful place, awesome people

    I loved this campground! I'm not a huge fan of the "go find a site" policy they have, but it worked out fine. 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. Wifi too isn't free and only available is certain areas. Verizon cell service is weak but useable. I'll definitely be back!


Guide to Mount Holly Springs

Campgrounds around Mount Holly Springs occupy a unique location between Pennsylvania's Great Valley and the Appalachian Mountains, offering RVers and tent campers diverse terrain options. Most Mount Holly Springs RV parks sit between 500-700 feet elevation, providing moderate spring and fall temperatures ideal for outdoor activities. The area experiences approximately 44 inches of rainfall annually, creating lush woodland camping environments but requiring proper site drainage during peak seasons.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: At Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm, campers can enjoy fishing in stocked waters. "Great place to go fishing!" notes Anna H., highlighting one of the simpler pleasures available at campgrounds within 30 miles of Mount Holly Springs.

Farm animal interactions: Families camping at Gettysburg Farm particularly enjoy the educational farm experience. "We loved all the animals. It was pretty close to Gettysburg so there is alot to do, nice playground and open fields," reports Christine A., while another visitor adds, "If you love farm animals, that is the spot to be. Got a kick out of the children playing with the kids (baby goats) pigs, goats, chickens, horses and even lamas."

Historic battlefield tours: Located about 15 miles from Mount Holly Springs, Drummer Boy Camping Resort serves as a convenient base for Gettysburg battlefield exploration. "It's literally like a mile from downtown Gettysburg, which also has a lot of different things to do," explains David G., making it easy to combine camping with historical education.

What campers like

Family activities: Thousand Trails Circle M earns high marks for family-friendly amenities. "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. Another camper notes, "They had Halloween ever at every weekend of October and we spent Halloween weekend here. The kids loved it!"

Water recreation: Circle M's riverside location provides unique recreational options not available at other Mount Holly Springs area RV parks. "The campground sits in the center of a horseshoe curve of the river, bring tubes and kayaks! We didn't know but went and bought a tube and spent the day on the river!" advises Karla R.

Pool facilities: Swimming pools rank high on camper satisfaction lists, especially during summer months. "The pool was great, especially camping with younger kids," mentions Ruth about Gettysburg Farm, while another visitor at Circle M appreciates that "There is an indoor pool and spa."

What you should know

Site spacing challenges: Round Top Campground reflects a common issue at campgrounds near Mount Holly Springs. "Spots are tight, Water pressure is low, road traffic noise. Water and electric are in award spot on our site," explains Alice G. At another location, a camper details: "Wife and I decided to use this campground as our 'maiden voyage' in our new TT... While the site was shaded, it was also on a significant hill and had NO view of anything but other seasonal campers."

Noise considerations: Background noise affects several campgrounds in the area. At Pinch Pond Family Campground & RV Park, "The only thing that is negative is that there is a shooting range right next door. It is pretty consistent from lunch to dinner," warns Tara N. Another visitor confirms: "Main drawback is noise from road and shooting range nearby."

Seasonal facilities: Many amenities operate on limited schedules. "We were in two different sites: the first was a two point site (water and electric) the road was dirt it seemed separate from the main drag of the campground, sites were wide but not very deep," describes Kasey M. at PA Dutch Country, noting the different experience depending on campsite location.

Tips for camping with families

Animal encounters: Gettysburg Farm offers unique farm experiences. "We came amidst COVID-19, so the many activities and events this location usually holds are down, BUT there is still fun to be had here! We've enjoyed mini-golf, feeding the animals, 'hiking' through the cornfield, fishing, and campfires," shares Kasey M.

Water activities: Several campgrounds feature water recreation that keeps children entertained. "They LOVED the animals and we fed them at the allotted time every morning and went to visit at other times. Beyond that though, we found there wasn't too much to do," reports melissa about Gettysburg Farm, suggesting bringing additional entertainment for children.

Budget-friendly entertainment: Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country offers affordable on-site activities. "Playground was open and great for the kids, so was mini golf," notes Kasey M., while another camper mentions that despite limited amenities, "I loved the surrounding dutch/Amish towns! It was pretty cool to seemingly step back in time."

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: When staying at Thousand Trails properties near Mount Holly Springs, timing matters. "The first thing to know is that Thousand Trails sites are a first come, first serve. Meaning you have to arrive early in order to get the best spots. They don't reserve sites for you," explains Yamileth K. at Thousand Trails Hershey.

Leveling preparation: Pack extra leveling blocks, as many sites require significant adjustment. "The campground is pretty hilly and they don't seem to want to level out the sites. We had to go out and get more blocks and we're still not very level front to back," reports Sammii D. about PA Dutch Country.

Hookup positioning: RVers should check hookup locations before setting up. "Sewer dump was about 20 feet away and we had to use a extension to get to it," notes Jeremy K. at Round Top Campground, reflecting a common issue at several Mount Holly Springs area RV parks.
