What to do
**Fishing opportunities: Lake-In-Wood Campground offers a stocked fishing pond for guests. "Very large park. Showed up on Wednesday, and was assigned a spot in loop 700 up on a hill in the center of a ring of trailers, past a lot of full-timers," notes one visitor who enjoyed the peaceful setting with mature trees.
**Cultural immersion: Explore Amish Country from Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country.

**Visit local attractions: Hershey Park is accessible from Pinch Pond Family Campground, located 25 minutes from Wernersville. "Nice, forested campground. Friendly staff, clean bathhouses. Sites well maintained but ours wasn't level. Gets packed on weekends," reports a reviewer who used the campground as a base for exploring Lancaster, Hershey, and Mount Gretna.
What campers like
**Clean facilities: Spring Gulch Resort Campground maintains well-kept bathhouses and amenities. "The bathhouse had individual bathrooms and showers. Each was pretty clean and spacious," mentions one camper who appreciated the cleanliness during their stay.
**Family activities: Weekend entertainment at Thousand Trails Circle M keeps children engaged. "Lots of events to keep the kids busy. We happened to be there on the weekend a magician came, my kids loved it. They have an indoor and outdoor pool. Nice playground," says a family who camped by the river.
**Swimming options: Many campgrounds provide pool access during summer months. "We stayed here for 3 nights and thought well of the park. The place was meticulously clean and the permanent campers keep their sites so well. The pool was warm, clean and enjoyable," notes a visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort who also appreciated the well-maintained playground.
What you should know
**Site conditions: Many campgrounds feature uneven terrain requiring careful setup. "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," cautions a visitor to Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country.
**Noise considerations: Some campgrounds sit near roads or other facilities. "The only thing that is negative is that there is a shooting range right next door. It is pretty consistent from lunch to dinner," warns a camper at Pinch Pond Family Campground who otherwise enjoyed the large sites and clean facilities.
**Seasonal limitations: Robin Hill Campground operates from April through November like most area facilities. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site," reports a spring visitor who found the personnel nice despite site conditions.
Tips for camping with families
**Activity planning: Schedule around campground events to maximize enjoyment. "The kids enjoyed the indoor pool. Looking forward to coming back in the summer," shares a visitor to Thousand Trails Circle M who appreciated the friendly staff.
**Choose sites strategically: Select locations away from common areas for quieter family time. "We were in two different sites: the first was a two point site (water and electric) the road was dirt it seemed separate from the main drag of the campground, sites were wide but not very deep," explains a camper who switched to a full hookup site during their October stay.
**Check playground options: Most campgrounds offer play areas of varying quality. "There's a nice playground and a GaGa pit. There's lots of space to walk your dog on leash but no dog park," notes a reviewer from Stonybrook RV Resort who found the campground comfortable for families.
Tips from RVers
**Level considerations: Appalachian Camping Resort provides gravel sites that may require adjustment. "Our site was full hook up. It was a nice size and was in a good location - near the ponds, pool, office, and bathhouse - but was still quiet," shares an RV camper who found the campground easily accessible from major highways.
**Site selection: Many campgrounds allow you to choose specific sites upon arrival. "Definitely got lucky with site F03 for Starlink. The rest of the campground has a lot of tree cover. Beautiful grounds and clean. Site is gravel and pretty level. Water pressure is pretty low and the sewer pipe is a little high," advises a visitor to Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country.
**Entrance challenges: Some rv camping near Wernersville presents navigation difficulties. "The entrance made for a challenging entry up a steep grade, narrow roadway, and sharp turn in. I made it without problems, but it wasn't easy in a 45' motorhome towing a Jeep," cautions a motorhome owner at Stonybrook RV Resort who still rated their experience highly.
