Hike the trails, close to major attractions!

This is one of the larger state parks we have been to. If you don't like a crowd may want to stay somewhere else. (339 sites, that's a lot of campers) There are a ton of sites!!!! They offer electric sites and traditional camping sites. There are dog sites available! You can camp near the playground and are able to watch your kids play (around site 247) Not all of the sites are spacious but you do have more room than private parks! The great thing about this park are the trails! You can take lakeside trail around the lake (I forget the distance to complete the loop) Trails are good for trail runs or hiking (some single track though so yield to bikers) They offer a Lake for fishing and there is a boat launch! The great thing is you are close enough to many area attractions, including Hershey PA! Happy Camping!
