Best Campgrounds near Reinholds, PA

939 Reviews

Reinholds, Pennsylvania features multiple family-friendly campgrounds within a short drive of Lancaster County attractions. French Creek State Park Campground offers year-round camping with tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and yurts in a forested setting. Private campgrounds like Dutch Cousin Campground, Hickory Run Family Camping Resort, and Lake-in-Wood RV Resort provide additional options for camping near the Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Most campgrounds in this region accommodate both tent and RV camping, with many offering cabin rentals for those seeking more comfortable accommodations.

Campground availability peaks from April through November, with most private facilities closing during winter months. Full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections are common throughout the area, typically featuring stone or gravel pads rather than grass. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during summer weekends and holiday periods when campgrounds fill quickly. While French Creek State Park remains open year-round, winter camping requires preparation for cold Pennsylvania temperatures. According to one visitor at Hickory Run Family Camping Resort, "Sites are a decent size, but you're really on top of one another here. Beautiful tall trees and shaded."

Family amenities distinguish many Reinholds area campgrounds, with swimming pools, playgrounds, fishing ponds, and organized activities common at private facilities. Several campgrounds feature stocked fishing lakes, with one camper noting "every cast they caught a fish" at Hickory Run's lake. Clean bathroom facilities and shower houses are standard at most developed campgrounds, though several reviews mention pay showers at certain locations. The proximity to Lancaster County attractions makes these campgrounds popular bases for exploring Amish country, antique shops, and outlets. For those seeking more natural surroundings, French Creek State Park provides hiking trails and a more rustic camping experience compared to the amenity-rich private campgrounds that dominate the region.

    Brandywine Creek Campground

    Brandywine

    We are on the third week of a four week trip. Campground is well maintained, quiet. This was our home while exploring Philadelphia. Uber to Downgrown, Septa or Amtrak to town. Reverse to camp. Very enjoyable. Hickory nut tree beside camper shared at times.

    Tohickon Family Campground

    Great weekend spot

    We went with friends for a weekend. Both families have little kids and it was a great spot with a playground, construction digging area, and a bunch of activities for the kids to do. We went in September so the pool was closed but it looked like a nice size. Full hook ups which was great! Also they have a nice stream that everyone went fishing at. They are building some new sites at the end of the property.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Wonderful, Easy, Quick trip from Philly

    It’s about an hour away from Philadelphia. We tent camped in loop B. The site was wonderful. Just know it is a gravel site, not grass. The fire pit has a grill attachment and wood was easy to find. Water and bathrooms were close. We hiked around the lake and there were plenty of trails and even rentable kayaks and paddle boards! Would definitely recommend if looking for a quick overnight stay outside of the city.

    Very clean campground friendly staff

    We stay here once a year in September. Stone surface. Not to bad for leveling. Our site was spacious.

    Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground

    Peace and quiet !

    Great spot! We had site 114 . It has water access and is right next to a small man made beach and playground. Bathrooms were in good shape. Sites were of ample size and well spaced.

    Old Mill Stream Campground

    In Amish area, next to an amusement park

    Our kids where happy with the small playground and with a few dollars they could have some fun in the small arcade/gameroom. In the area you have Lancaster, Amish area and an amusement park (that is a bit outdated). The camping has a bit over 100 spots. They are just oké.

    Sun Valley Campground

    My Happy Place

    My wife and I have been seasonal camper for 4 years and love it. We had visited numerous campgrounds and found Sun Valley to be the atmosphere there beyond our expectations. The minute you walk into the office you get that" aha" moment. The office greets you with a smile and " Welcome to Sun Valley, how can I help you ". That alone told us these folks are here to make your stay enjoyable. They go above and beyond any campground we have ever been to. The activities go above and beyond. The Saturday night bands are concert worthy. We have enjoyed our stay more than you ever imagined. For the past 4 years it has been our "Happy Place"

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Fantastic PA state park for activities and camping.

    Third year staying over the Labor Day weekend. Campground full but still a very peaceful relaxing stay. Our site was very spacious and open. Tree lined and site was almost level. Paved sites on this loop.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Pretty park but needs upkeep and maintenance

    Only stayed one night (8/23/25).  Had an electric site on B 45.  After pulling in and starting to unload, we were getting swarmed with yellow jackets.  There were several entry holes in the ground they were using to enter and exit.  I have never experienced anything like this anywhere.   I would have left but since it was close to dusk, I knew they would all retrieve and go underground.  The smoke with the fire helped but it impacted our stay.  They were everywhere.  I will not be going back anytime during the summer
