    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Campgrounds near Willow Street, Pennsylvania range from full-hookup RV parks to cabin rentals and riverside tent sites, serving families across Lancaster County. Camping near Willow Street covers a broad spectrum of options, from developed RV campgrounds with full hookups to creek-side tent sites popular with families visiting Dutch Wonderland and Amish country. The area features family-friendly resorts like Thousand Trails Circle M and Old Mill Stream Campground, both offering cabin rentals alongside traditional tent and RV sites. Country Acres Campground in Gordonville and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Quarryville provide glamping experiences in addition to conventional camping facilities. Most campgrounds in the Lancaster County region are privately operated and developed with full hookups for RVs.

    Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, typically from April through November, though some like Old Mill Stream remain open year-round. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for weekend stays during peak summer months when sites fill quickly. Proximity to Lancaster's attractions makes this area popular with families visiting Dutch Wonderland and Amish country. Many campers appreciate the water features at several locations. "The campground sits in the center of a horseshoe curve of the river, bring tubes and kayaks! We didn't know but went and bought a tube and spent the day on the river," noted one visitor at Circle M.

    Riverside camping experiences receive consistently positive reviews, with several campgrounds offering access to creeks and streams. Campers frequently mention enjoying the sounds of flowing water and cooler temperatures near water features. Mill Creek Camping Area provides creek-side sites that visitors appreciate for natural cooling effects. While most campgrounds offer basic amenities including showers, toilets, and picnic tables, quality varies between locations. Circle M receives mixed reviews regarding site spacing and leveling. "Sites are small you park on top of your neighbors. Sites are unlevel both front to back and side to side," reported one camper, while others praise the friendly atmosphere and river access. Family activities and amenities like swimming pools, mini-golf, and organized events are common at the larger resorts in the region.

      Camp Swatara

      Very family oriented

      The sites ard nice, it's run by Mennonites, I believe. Lots of recreation for kids, quiet time respected and a service on Sunday morning. Full hookups for a very reasonable price.

      Susquehanna State Park Campground

      A little noisy - park stuff, not campers

      A 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.

      Twin Grove RV Resort

      Nothing open

      Picked 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.

      Elk Neck State Park Campground

      Great for families

      This campsite was amazing for our first tent camping experience. The park was a godsend for keeping our toddler occupied and we felt very safe overall. While the beach is pretty, be careful about the water condition. We were warned before entering and informed of the risks. They were very clear on the condition of the water that day which was a yellow, slight risk. But normally it should be okay. We would definitely camp here again.

      Hershey Road Campground

      4.5 stars

      Pros- Pool is sparkling clear and new. Mini golf is awesome. Nice people, nice store.
      Cons- further from Hershey Park than ideal, lots of seasonal campers leaving for work before dawn in loud trucks, not much privacy, some road noise.

      Aberdeen Proving Ground RV Park

      Bougie sites; AWFUL reservation system

      BASE ACCESS REQUIRED!

      Electric/Water/Sewer hookup sites for $56 a night! (2 night minimum) Which is a great full hookup price, even though it's gone up $6 since last year. Weekly and monthly pricing available as well. 

      The sites are neat, well maintained, level, and sunny with concrete pads and paved campground roads. Centrally located laundry facilities and airconditioned bath house. Playground, boat launch, beach volleyball court, disk golf, basketball court, and outdoor pool all within walking distance. Other base amenities include: commissary, gas station, bowling, BBQ, Dunkin', and Greek restaurants, and golf. (I'm sure I'm forgetting something.)

      Note: in July it is very buggy - the biting flies are the worst. So bring bug spray or a screened in tent to eat in. 

      The downside: the reservation system is a major PITA. You have to download a PDF packet, fill it out, and EMAIL it in. When you get your confirmation, it doesn't include a specific site number. You get assigned one when they call you the week of your scheduled check-in for payment completion. 

      Don't miss out on: the water! My advice would be to reserve one of their boats at the same time you reserve your campsite. The water in this area is great - no jellyfish, low waves. You can SUP, kayak, pontoon boat. Whatever your preference. There are large flats of grasses - which you'd want to avoid with a motor but are so much fun to paddle over. Also check out the Susquehanna National Wildlife Refuge island. You can't go inland, but you can anchor off shore, jump in and wade around the shallows.

      Also very driveable to an off-base movie theater, Baltimore, and Havre de Grace.

      Otter Creek Campground

      Lovely tranquil campsites next to river

      We stayed only one night in primitive tent site which was massive with a turnaround. It was great. There are fire pits and picnic tables and level ground. Very serene. We walked down to the river, breathtaking. Not sure of other amenities as we didn’t use them.

      Riverfront Campground

      Disgusting

      Where do I start?

      We came to this campground to connect with family who was hiking the AT. We left after one miserable night. Here are some reasons:

      A giant confederate flag near the entrance

      Highway noise and not one but two train tracks

      One Filthy “bathroom”

      No shade at our campsite- despite other available sites with some shade

      A trail of poison ivy on the narrow path to the river

      Cigarette butts everywhere

      And a creepy man on a bike who declared he was a local and wouldn’t leave our site while I was alone and insisted on talking to me about the strip club down the street, where to buy condoms and how my tent’s mesh shelf is perfect for drying out my wet panties.

    Guide to Willow Street

    Camping spots near Willow Street, Pennsylvania consist primarily of small, privately-operated campgrounds situated in rural Lancaster County's agricultural landscape at elevations ranging from 300-500 feet. The region experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly reaching the 90s, while spring and fall offer milder camping conditions with cool evenings. Winter camping options are limited, with only select campgrounds like Old Mill Stream remaining open year-round.

    What to do

    Creekside tubing and kayaking: Pequea Creek Campground provides easy access to waterways where campers can enjoy relaxing water activities. "We enjoyed the birds singing in the mornings and welcomed grandkids' visit for splashing and floating in Pequea Creek," notes one visitor at Pequea Creek Campground.

    Explore Amish countryside: Located in the heart of Lancaster County, many campgrounds provide unique proximity to authentic Amish cultural experiences. "Located w/in walking distance of small town of Intercourse, PA, with plenty of shopping and Amish crafts. Very friendly people," reports a camper at Beacon Hill Camping.

    Disc golf and hiking: Muddy Run Rec Park offers diverse outdoor activities beyond standard camping. "The large lake is great for a day of kayaking and fishing with supplies readily available for rent at the boat dock store. If you are looking for some hiking there is a hiking trail that will take you all around the parameter of the large 144 acre park with plenty of wildlife to be seen," explains a reviewer.

    What campers like

    Clean, modern facilities: Many campgrounds in the area invest in well-maintained bathhouses and amenities. "Bath house was just remodeled so it's excellent! Good price!" notes a camper at Old Mill Stream Campground, while another visitor to Country Acres Campground mentioned "The new bathhouse has better restrooms than my own home!"

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: The natural setting provides chances to observe local fauna. "My favorite evening activities (besides enjoying a campfire) are dusk deer-watching! There are hundreds of deer in this protected park," shares a visitor at Muddy Run Rec Park.

    Proximity to Lancaster attractions: Campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring regional sites. "Great park to stay in. Close to local activities, clean and quiet," explains a guest at Country Acres Campground. Another adds, "Perfect size lots. Nice people," highlighting the balance between accessibility and comfort.

    What you should know

    Site selection matters: Many campgrounds have significant variation between sites. "Look at the map when selecting a site. The sites in the center are like a parking lot. Small, no shade and wide open. We prefer the creek side sites," advises a camper at Mill Bridge Village.

    Agricultural proximity has downsides: Rural Lancaster County camping means proximity to working farms. "The overwhelming impression of this campground was the smell of cow manure from the nearby dairy farm feedlot. The smell was not present the first day or so we were there and we enjoyed sitting outside in the afternoon, but when the wind shifted the horrid smell drove us inside."

    Utility hookup challenges: At some locations, access to utilities requires planning. "Make sure you have a long hose for water hookup. Water pumps were spaced pretty far and we needed at least a 100 ft hose to reach," reports a visitor at Muddy Run Rec Park.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly water features: Several campgrounds offer supervised water attractions. "The water park is super fun for adults and kids. The entire campground is clean and very well maintained," shares a visitor at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Quarryville.

    Campground events: Scheduled activities enhance family camping experiences. "They had a lot of events for everyone of all ages. The sites were a little close together but still plenty of room. The pool and playground were very clean and well taken care of," notes a Tucquan Park Family Campground visitor.

    Age-appropriate planning: Consider children's ages when selecting campgrounds. "We returned this year with my 12 and 14 year olds and a 12 year old friend. The kids were bored. The only improvements in the 5 years is they took out tent sites and replaced them with cabin rentals... They really need to add something new to make it more teen-friendly."

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require additional equipment for comfort. "We decided to camp in the fall and did a cabin since it was colder and we had the baby... Sites are unlevel both front to back and side to side," reported a camper at Thousand Trails Circle M.

    Water and electric placement: Utility locations vary between campgrounds. "Bring 50 ft of hose for water hook up and an extension cord with a converter. The water hook ups are randomly placed, ours was 2 sites away," warns a visitor about Muddy Run Rec Park.

    Off-season options: Year-round campers have limited but available choices. "Had a trip scheduled for February but had to postpone. The staff was very helpful and moved our date to March. We enjoy each stay here. This site backs up to the stream. Glad they are now open year round," reports an RVer at Mill Bridge Village.
