"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
"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 "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."
"Nice place to stay with very friendly and helpful staff. A bit on the expensive side but for an occasional splurge it is wonderful."
"Many local attractions such as Maple Grove raceway, near Amish farms and a plentiful amount of antique shopping."
"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."
"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."
"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!
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.
Scouti stumbled on this searching for something almost immediately off the interstate, but with little-to-no booking available for a reasonable price elsewhere local. we detoured about 25 minutes to get here, and it is just incredible. the scenery is gorgeous, they have a camp store with oodles of stuff, there’s a huge playground, and the camping areas are dispersed well and offer beautiful scenic privacy. i wish i could make this place my home. amenities are well taken care of, they have showers in the bathroom, as well as an on-site laundry facility. they have complimentary wifi, which i appreciate with AT&T. signal is slim to none without it. overall, 5/5 stars from my family.
Glamping near Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania offers opportunities for upscale outdoor recreation in the heart of eastern Pennsylvania's rolling hills, where elevations range from 300-1,200 feet above sea level. The region experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F, making it ideal for camping from April through October. Most campgrounds in the area maintain wooded settings with a mix of open meadows and forest cover.
Hiking trails access: French Creek State Park Campground offers extensive trail networks for all skill levels. "We loved our stay at this park, and plan to return. There is lots of hiking, the lake is beautiful, at least two playgrounds (perfect for our kids), the bathrooms were well maintained," notes Katie M., who camped there in October.
Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer fishing access with no additional permits required for registered campers. At Blue Rocks Family Campground, one reviewer experienced exceptional fishing success: "My kids went fishing and every cast they caught a fish, some were small... but hey the kids had fun," according to Michelle E.
Boulder field exploration: The unique geological features provide unusual recreation options. "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. about her experience at Blue Rocks Family Campground.
Winter camping options: Unlike seasonal sites, some campgrounds remain open year-round. "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great! If you're traveling through, there are many places to eat nearby," reports Galit P. about French Creek State Park Campground.
Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the natural separation between camping spots. "As long as you don't stay right across from the bath houses you will find ample shade at your site. There are so many trees and brush in between most sites you can't even really see your neighbors," writes Jen R. about French Creek.
Distinctive rental options: Beyond traditional yurts, some resorts offer truly unique accommodations. At Lake-In-Wood Campground, "We had one of the red carpet sites in the woods. It was spacious and mainly private... They also have specialty rental cottages and a real tipi and caboose," explains Donna M.
Amish countryside views: Several campgrounds provide cultural experiences along with nature. Lancaster-New Holland KOA features "unobstructed views of the Amish farmland and lots of room," according to Doreen C., who added, "Place is spotless, great help at front desk. Will definitely come back."
Clean, modern facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained amenities. "This place has everything! Mini golf, playgrounds, indoor pool, outdoor pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, Cafe, arcade, camp store, pond with fishing, kayak and peddle boat rentals," notes Jen R. about Lake In Wood Resort.
Terrain considerations: Mountainous terrain affects campsite selection and accessibility. At Starlite Camping Resort, "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.
Shower payment systems: Unlike luxury glamping sites, some standard campgrounds require payment for showers. At Mountain Springs, "Showers are kind of gross and you have to pay for them," warns Hannah, while at Hickory Run, "The bathhouses were a little different, you have to pay $.25 to take a shower," according to Michelle E.
Seasonal closures: Most glamping options near Sinking Spring operate on limited schedules. "We were there in October, so the pool was closed, but it looked nice," explains Katie M. about French Creek, while Starlite Camping Resort lists its season as "May 1 to Nov 1."
Wi-Fi limitations: Connectivity varies significantly between properties. At Lancaster-New Holland KOA, Matt S. notes: "This is a 5-star campground EXCEPT that there was no wi-fi or cable. It's 2023 and internet connectivity is important."
Activity planning: Families should research scheduled events before arriving. "There is a pool, playground, arcade, camp store, pond with fishing, kayak and peddle boat rentals, hiking, fenced in dog area, walking trails," writes one reviewer about Lake In Wood Resort, showing the range of options available.
Site selection strategy: Choose sites with buffer zones for families with active children. At Dutch Cousin Campground, "Bathrooms were clean, spots had decent room, a lot of monthly residents," according to Steven V., though he noted the lack of dedicated dog areas.
Transport considerations: Many larger properties require significant walking between amenities. Ashley S. comments about Adventure Bound Camping Resort at Eagles Peak: "Great place for the family. The splash park is a lot of fun for both the kids and adults. The RV sites are spacious. Only downfall is the big hill to go back and forth to the activities, you end up spending more money just to rent a gold cart."
Weather preparation: The region experiences sudden storms even in summer. "When we were packing up a severe thunderstorm rolled through. The bag was in the rain and I was surprised that everything inside was dry! The rain just rolled right off!" recalls a camper at French Creek State Park.
Site dimensions: RV campers should verify site measurements before booking. At Hickory Run Family Camping Resort, "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Sites were not on top of each other," according to Jen R., who appreciated the ease of setup.
Hookup availability: French Creek State Park offers varying hookup levels by loop. "We had electric however no water or sewer hookup. There was a spigot for water at the next site over from us, so we didn't have to walk far to get fresh water," explains Jen R.
Seasonal site considerations: Many campgrounds near Sinking Spring have a high percentage of permanent residents. Dave R. notes about Dutch Cousin Campground: "Great smaller campground. Staff was friendly, general vibe was low key. A lot of year round sites."
Leveling requirements: Despite hilly terrain, many sites are engineered for easy leveling. At Starlite, Craig F. observed, "Overall the sites were large, with trees between, providing additional privacy. Except for the Plateau sites, which have the amazing view, the rest of the campground had a great tree cover!"
