What a great place. So unique! Love the view, and a great experience! There are no hook ups, so be prepared but if you are looking for the dispersed camping experience you have found it. What a gem!

Several RV campgrounds surround Oley, Pennsylvania, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Robin Hill Campground in Lenhartsville provides full hookups with 50-amp service and accommodates larger rigs on its gravel sites from April through November. Sun Valley Campground in Narvon features electric, water, and sewer connections with spacious pull-through sites. "The sites are a good size for our motor home+ toad, level and covered in gravel, like all sites and roadways within the campground," noted one visitor about nearby Country Acres. Appalachian Camping Resort in Shartlesville offers big-rig friendly sites with full hookups, while Spring Gulch Resort Campground in New Holland remains open from late March through early December with 50-amp service.
Access to many parks requires navigating rural Pennsylvania Dutch country roads, which occasionally present challenges for larger motorhomes. Most campgrounds provide dump stations, though Pinch Pond Family Campground charges for WiFi and has limited cell service in some areas. Pet-friendly options exist throughout the region, though some parks restrict pets to specific loops. Propane refill stations are available at several locations including Appalachian Camping Resort and Pinch Pond. Fall camping is particularly popular in the area with most parks closing by early November. One camper mentioned that "the roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed," highlighting the importance of researching access routes before arrival with larger rigs.
Best RV Campgrounds near Oley (131)
1. Robin Hill Campground

2. Sun Valley Campground
"Well wooded campground with friendly staff and guests. The only minor complaint is that the camp store was sparsely supplied. B+ little gem of a campground."

LegendHickory Run State Park Campground
Peaceful State Park Camping in the Fall
This is a large campground with a wide array of campsites so be careful attention when you book online, especially if you have a pet because some sites are not pet-friendly. Some are 50-amp full hook-up and some are primitive with no hook-ups.
There is a nice nature center with interesting interpretive exhibits and lots of informational brochures including ones about the hiking trails, bears, scat and tracks of local animals, and fishing. Our site was at the edge of the campground and backed up to Route 534 which resulted in a bit of road noise at our site. Other than the road noise the campground was pretty quiet and was not very crowded when we camped there in October.
Not all sites are level and we happened to book one that was not and we had to live with a slant for our stay. The roads in the park are gravel/dirt and since it rained the day we arrived the roads were a muddy mess which made the roads slippery and there were lots of potholes. Unfortunately, some campers were disrespectful and left bags of trash in the fire pit and scattered around their site which was totally unnecessary because there were dumpsters plenty of dumpsters in the campground. Since we camped at Hickory Run late in the season, there were no camp hosts and the trash never got picked up.
The campground is open from mid-April to mid-December; however, the shower facilities and dump station are not available after the third week of October so plan accordingly. We really like the hiking trails which are of varying degrees of difficulty and lengths. The Hawk Falls is a nice easy walk (1.4 miles round-trip) to a waterfall but is extremely popular so don’t think you will be admiring the falls alone. The parking lot at this trail head fills up fast so you better get there early if you want to get a spot.
You can enter the park from two different directions. If you have a big-rig, it is best to approach from the east side. We made the mistake of coming in from the west side as we dropped down from I-80 and came down 534 and the road was really windy with no shoulder. Luckily, there was very little traffic so we could go 10 mph and safely navigate the roads.
Be aware alcohol is not allowed in PA state parks. This park does allow hunting in certain sections of the park. The no-hunting areas are clearly marked with white no hunting signs on trees and you can also pick up a brochure from the office that designates hunting and no-hunting sections.

Lovely campground!
Country 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!

The best views
This is a hidden gem, as close to dispersed camping you can get with dirt, gravel roads, large stone fire pits, a amazing views with the added benefit of a five gallon jug of non potable water and very clean port-a-potties. The owner regularly patrols the site and makes sure everything is okay.

Old Mill Stream Campground
Never Again
The 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.
Adam and Suzanne B.GuideBeacon Hill Camping
Great location
We stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.

Echo Valley Campground
Big sites with lots of trees
We only spent the night and didn't look at the amenities. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.

Simple, peaceful FHU
We 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.
Brian T.ScoutCountry Acres Campground
Excellent But.
The 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.

What to do
Fishing in stocked ponds: At Lake-In-Wood Campground, campers can try their luck at the on-site fishing pond. "Huge pond for fishing, miniature gold, nice indoor and outdoor pool and a kiddie pool. Goats to pet and watch," notes one visitor. The pond requires catch-and-release practices and supports several fish species.
Explore Amish countryside: The rural landscape surrounding Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country provides a unique cultural experience. "This campground will put your mind at ease and let you uncover the lost culture of this unique community. I remember going to the market and learning about culture that I was not necessarily familiar with before," shares a camper who appreciated the authentic setting.
River activities: Seasonal campers at Thousand Trails Circle M enjoy water recreation. "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!" Bug spray is recommended for riverside sites, which can be muddy but offer direct water access.
What campers like
Unique accommodations: Lake-In-Wood offers distinctive rental options beyond standard cabins. "There are a lot of really neat and different rentals here like a tree house, double decker bus, among others," mentions a reviewer. These specialty accommodations book quickly during summer months.
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain high standards for bathrooms and amenities. At Spring Gulch Resort Campground, "Some cabins, like those in my photos, are brand new and have everything you would need to set up house minus linens, towels, toilet paper, paper goods and toiletries." The campground also offers individual bathrooms and showers described as "clean and spacious."
Fall camping activities: October brings special events to Circle M. "They had Halloween ever at every weekend of October and we spent Halloween weekend here. The kids loved it!" reports a family. These themed weekends include trick-or-treating, costume contests, and decorated sites throughout the campground.
What you should know
Site conditions vary significantly: Many campgrounds have uneven terrain that can challenge RVers. "Sites are very close together. Fire rings are very close to campers. Water was rusty in our row came out brown at first then was tan after running through our filter for the entire stay," notes a camper at PA Dutch Country. Unlevel sites require extensive blocking at some facilities.
Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds operate April through November with reduced services in shoulder seasons. "We went for the weekend and loved it. Already looking to book another trip. Very clean campground," shares a visitor about their experience during operating season at Lake-In-Wood.
Wi-Fi and cellular service: Connectivity varies across the region. At Stonybrook RV Resort, "Cell is AT&T and our gateway is T-Mobile," reports one camper with good coverage, while others note many campgrounds charge additional fees for Wi-Fi access with variable reliability.
Tips for camping with families
Pool options: Several campgrounds offer both indoor and outdoor swimming. "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," notes a visitor at Circle M, which maintains year-round swimming options.
Playground access: Multiple play areas are available at Appalachian Camping Resort, where "The campground had numerous activities set up all throughout the day and there was something for everyone. I find that a lot of campground activities tend to be centered around small children and with my kids being 13 and 12, they're usually left out of the fun."
Budget activities: Free or low-cost recreation is available at many campgrounds. "They have a tennis court, mini golf, basketball court, and you saw many kids out with their bicycles. There is even an arcade center for the kids and a rec center with a pool table," explains a reviewer about amenities at campgrounds in the region.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Arrive early for better site options. "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." This applies to several membership-based campgrounds near Oley.
Water pressure considerations: Several campgrounds have reported issues with water systems. "Water pressure is pretty low and the sewer pipe is a little high but all around a really solid experience," mentions a camper at PA Dutch Country. Bringing a pressure regulator and extra water hose lengths helps address these variations.
Overflow parking options: For those with multiple vehicles or tow dollies, designated overflow areas prevent congestion. "They have an overflow area for those with extra cars and those with tow dollies. This keeps the campground from looking like a junk yard," shares an RV camper about the practical layout at facilities near Oley.
