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!

"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"

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.

TravelerCountry Acres Campground
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.
Pam R.GuideGifford Pinchot State Park Campground
We booked two nights mid October not realizing that it's duck hunting season and that hunting is allowed RIGHT by the campground - with kids everywhere. We were jolted out of sleep at 5 am by gun fire right near our site. It kept up for the next hour. In addition, the bathrooms, although clean are in poor condition. Peeling paint everywhere with bare concrete in the showers. For such a pretty site, we had a miserable stay. We left after one night.

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.

Council Cup Campground
Better than nothing
Small campground with rude owner. Everything I asked about was putting her out. It was cheap though at $36 for water and electric with a military discount.
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.

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.
Guide to Pine Grove
Camping opportunities near Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, offer experiences on varying terrain within the Appalachian Mountain range. With elevations between 550-850 feet, the area's valley-based camping provides cooler summer temperatures than urban areas. Most campgrounds in the region operate from April through October, with nighttime temperatures dropping into the 40s during shoulder seasons.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Twin Grove RV Resort features two dog parks, playgrounds, and seasonal activities for campers of all ages. "We come here once a year to take our grandkids on an annual camping trip with us. Lots to do! Playgrounds, special events, crafts," notes a frequent visitor.
Recreation areas: At Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country, campers can enjoy multiple amenities despite challenging terrain. "The bathrooms were heated, and okay. I didn't care for the shower curtain system it seems less private. Playground was open and great for the kids, so was mini golf," writes one guest who appreciated the recreational facilities.
Evening entertainment: Weekend visits often include scheduled activities and performances. At Twin Grove, "they usually have a band on Saturday evenings" and feature "a merry go round, train, giant slide and ferries wheel you can ride" during summer evenings, providing entertainment beyond standard camping activities.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Multiple reviewers highlight well-maintained bathhouses as a significant advantage. At Pinch Pond Family Campground, visitors appreciate "clean bathhouses and convenient dishwashing stations" with one guest noting the campground is "nice, forested" with "friendly staff, clean bathhouses."
Spacious sites: Unlike some crowded RV parks, several Pine Grove area campgrounds offer room to spread out. "Sites are pretty big and clean," reports a visitor to Robin Hill Campground, while others appreciate the natural setting and privacy at certain sites.
Water features: Swimming pools rank highly among camper favorites. "The pool was very nice and refreshing. I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end," notes a Robin Hill visitor, while Thousand Trails Hershey provides "nice amenities and a shuttle to Hersheypark."
What you should know
Site selection challenges: At several campgrounds, leveling can present difficulties. "Our site was a bear to park in but once situated we were very happy," explains a visitor to Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country, adding "some sites seemed tight and while ours wasn't, it was the smallest we've had in a while."
Seasonal fluctuations: Visitor experiences vary significantly by season and day of week. Spring Gulch Resort Campground visitors note that "staff was nice but not enough staffing to keep amenities like pool open after 5 during the week," which affects mid-week stays.
Environmental considerations: Some campgrounds have unique environmental factors. Pinch Pond campers mention a "shooting range nearby" that produces daytime noise, with one visitor explaining "at all hours you will hear target practice going on, especially in the wee early hours."
