Available this weekend
from $20 - $90 / night
"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
"Tent sites are lined up along the water which is great for fishing (especially when you need to stay close to the littles sleeping in the tent). Lots of benches lined up along the water."
"The entrance in off the main road turns you into the theme park. Fear not. Turn in and follow the road to the right and into the campground. We stayed on site 123 with a 40 ft Allegro Bus."
"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."
"We stayed at one of the primitive tent sites with no hookups adjacent to the farm field. Watching a horse drawn equipment cutting grass while we cooked dinner was a joy."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"While its proximity to the highway makes access easy, the property itself is gated, organized into distinct camping zones and packed with amenities that clearly cater to longer stays and families looking"
"campground so inconveniently located (more on this later) right next to highway I76."
"We first had a 2 point site near the river, but when it rains the sites get flooded with runoff from the campground. We moved to a full hookup on the Delaware section."
"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."
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!
GuideWe 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.
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.
French Creek State Park Campground offers wooded campsites with paved level areas across 7,526 acres in southeastern Pennsylvania. Located 15 miles southeast of Reading at an elevation of approximately 600 feet, the park experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging in the mid-80s. Campers can access two lakes, Scotts Run and Hopewell, providing year-round fishing opportunities including ice fishing during winter months when ice thickness is monitored for safety.
Hiking trails for all abilities: French Creek State Park features numerous trails for both hiking and mountain biking. "There is lots of hiking, the lake is beautiful, at least two playgrounds (perfect for our kids), the bathrooms were well maintained," notes one visitor to French Creek State Park Campground.
Fishing in multiple locations: Both Scotts Run Lake and Hopewell Lake contain various warm water fish species. "There are several warm water fish in the lakes including northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish. Ice fishing is also allowed at both lakes," explains a French Creek State Park visitor.
Wildlife observation: The extensive natural areas provide opportunities to observe local fauna. Near Hickory Run Family Camping Resort, there's a "Wolf Sanctuary that is a refuge for these four-legged friends complete with guided tours" located just east of the area.
Explore Amish country: The Stevens area provides access to authentic Amish experiences. "If you've never visited an Amish community, you should definitely take advantage of this very unique location by exploring Lancaster County where you can find a number of horse & buggies to take a trip in," recommends a visitor.
Peaceful settings: Camping near Stevens offers tranquil environments. At Lancaster-New Holland KOA, visitors appreciate the "unobstructed views of the Amish farmland" and report it's a "peaceful, serene, and a little slice of heaven with super clean bathrooms and friendly host."
Family-friendly amenities: Many campgrounds offer activities specifically designed for children. Lake-In-Wood Campground features "miniature golf, nice indoor and outdoor pool and a kiddie pool. Goats to pet and watch," according to one camper who enjoyed their experience.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and amenities are consistently mentioned in reviews. At Country Acres Campground, a visitor noted "This campground is probably the most well maintained campground we have ever stayed at. The grounds are beautiful, facilities above and beyond the expected."
Seasonal activities: Many campgrounds offer events throughout their operating season. "This place has Halloween every weekend of October and we spent Halloween weekend here. The kids loved it!!" shared a camper at Circle M RV Campground.
Weather considerations: Be prepared for seasonal variations. "Cold it was, 15 degrees was a teeth chattering experience. However our A Liner Ranger kept me warm and cozy," reported a winter visitor to Hickory Run Family Camping Resort.
Reservation requirements: Most glamping options near Stevens require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. "If you are thinking about staying here during the Renaissance Faire, which apparently is a VERY BIG thing in these parts, you are going to want to book your spot as soon as possible," advises a visitor to Pinch Pond Family Campground.
Noise factors: Some campgrounds may have unexpected noise sources. "You're not going to get away from all of that highway traffic noise," mentions a Pinch Pond visitor, while another notes "there's a shooting range near the property, so at all hours you will hear target practice going on."
Site selection: Choose your site based on your specific needs. "If you have a decent sized rig I would steer clear of this row. 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," advises a Lancaster-New Holland KOA camper.
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Choose campgrounds with facilities specifically for children. At Thousand Trails Circle M, "They have an indoor and outdoor pool. Nice playground. We were down by the river and had a lot of room on our site," reports a family who enjoyed their stay.
Consider proximity to attractions: Several campgrounds provide convenient access to local points of interest. "Old Mill Stream Campground is associated with Dutch Wonderland Amusement Park which is just a short walk away," making it convenient for families with young children.
Pack for weather changes: Temperatures can fluctuate significantly in the Stevens area. "It rained the entire time I was there so we didn't go in the pool but the campground is walkable, I was able to go running, there are things for kids to do," mentioned a Lake-In-Wood visitor who still enjoyed their stay despite the weather.
Check activity schedules: Many campgrounds offer organized events. "The did have a mini golf course too... Great pools and classes (water aerobics was fun for everyone)," noted a Lake-In-Wood camper.
Site leveling: Many campgrounds feature level sites that simplify setup. At Old Mill Stream Campground, "Our campsite was perfectly level and had a large gravel patio area and a large shade tree behind us. The site was plenty long for our 45' RV and tow car."
Hookup availability: Check what utilities are available at your preferred campground. "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 a French Creek State Park camper.
Maneuvering challenges: Some campgrounds present navigation difficulties for larger rigs. "The roads were very tight and you really had to watch how you drove through because of the trees. Our site was a drive-through but slanted," reports a visitor to Lake-In-Wood.
Seasonal considerations: RV camping options may change with the seasons. "Starlite is on a big hill. If you're hauling a big camper you'll need power for the hills," advises a camper familiar with glamping near Stevens, Pennsylvania.
