Kathy and Mary were friendly and informative. The site is next to a home on a nice asphalt pad. Bring extra hose and electrical cords.

Absolutely beautiful dairy farm and we had the opportunity to take an impromptu hay ride with corn maze employees to check out the Christmas Village which amazing. “A little slice of Americana”. DJ and Loretta were super nice and let us explore the whole farm, talk to the all the cows. Even made a new friend Benny the cat who hung out with us at our campfire. 10/10
We will definitely be back!!!

A perfect stop. I stayed for one night during my travel south. It is a pull thru site coming into the property. I would recommend two water hoses and a back up electric extension as you may or may not need depending on your RV and where your hookups are located. Beautiful country. Good communication.
Easy on and off the Interstate.

What a lovely site!
Super easy to pull in and pull back out. Easy to level. Felt incredibly private, despite being next to the owner's home. When we did see the owners, they were so friendly and kind. We were able to take our dogs for a nice mini-hike around their fields, pond and some mowed trails. We liked it so much, we stayed again on our way back home! (had been traveling from NE down to TN and back). We will definitely save this site and stay again if we go back down south in the future.

Love the place, sunrise and sunset were picturesque. Even tho its near a road, there were barely any one passing by, the whole night we stayed there only 2 vehicles passed by. Recommend to everyone passing by the area, or even just for a little R&R. Will definitely come back if we have the chance :)

1 night at Hartman Center Campground
This was an amazing experience. My husband and I were concerned about being the only black people. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. Most importantly, for us, people kept to themselves. We loved it!

We stayed one night at the farm and it was really nice. We ran into Mary who was super friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again. It was easy to find and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. It was also close to the interstate.

It was a quiet and convenient stay at the stables! We had a pop up camper and needed an overnight stay and booked it in the morning. The campsite had a designated parking near the electric hook up. Water hook up was not functioning at the time but we had our own water tank so was not an issue. It was a nice area surrounded by mountains. Best thing was it was only about 10 mins off the highway. Host home was right across from the parking driveway garage and was not an issue with privacy.

Wow! This place is incredible, they have a corn maze, a play area for kids, running room for the pets and surrounded by beautiful views and corn fields for as far as the eye can see. The hosts are extremely accommodating and friendly. We plan to stay here everytime we travel to Maine.

Incredibly peaceful and tranquil setting. Although the camping area seems close to the house (about twenty feet) it's only the side of the garage so you're totally left alone and able to enjoy the space. There's 30A electricity (might need fifty foot cable to get to your RV from the pole) and a water hose you can hook up to. You have great views up the hill to the horse farm, unbelievable number of fireflies at night, no traffic except one car an hour if that going by the road at the top of the hill, cool breezes, warm sun, only a couple of miles from the interstate (not that you can tell) and nearby towns and stores for anything you might need. There's a small fire pit, more of an old wheel rim, you might have more luck with coals than wood if you want to cook as a single log will only sit on top of the rim until it's burnt enough to fall inside the wheel but it does work.
Excellent communications from the host, lots of good info and they suggested we take a walk along the top of the horse farm to watch the July 4th fireworks, very much appreciated the tip, had a great view of all the fireworks not just from the neighbors but also across all the towns in the valley.
Would definitely recommend staying here!

The sites are packed together pretty tight, but the campground is very close to the battlefield which is what we wanted. Bathrooms and showers were nice and cleaned regularly.

we loved our stay at AA stables! there weren’t any animals though, all the farm animals mentioned in the listing must have been somewhere else. the spot to park in was a bit too close to their house for me but overall it was lovely and not a problem. the views were beautiful and the 15 acre property was really fun to explore.

Highly recommend! We had an amazing experience staying at Donald's farm. He and his wife were so welcoming, they showed us around the farm, we got to see how they milk the cows, and were overall very accommodating. The beautiful views and the stunning sunsets were a nice bonus. Thanks for having us!

We had a lot of fun at DJ’s camping site, they are such nice hosts, showed us around the farm and that was a great experience. Camping sites were clean and spacious, we enjoyed camp fires and starry night. Will definitely come back for more adventures later.

The location is beautiful and in/out is easy once you know that you should go down the long driveway to the parking pad. Appreciated the last minute place to stay when our plans changed unexpectedly. Friendly hosts. Would definitely visit again.

The spot was perfect and well maintained. They made sure we had plenty of firewood and checked on us. Electric and water hookup was plenty of capacity but you do want to make sure you have enough electric extension cord and water hose for hookup. Beautiful spot and great hosts. We’ll definitely stay there again. Thank you!!!

The best big rig friendly camping near Harrisburg guide
Where to go
Boyd Big Tree Preserve Conservation Area
Birds of a feather flock together, and at Boyd Big Tree Preserve Conservation Area, that sentiment holds true for birdwatchers. Just 15 minutes outside Harrisburg, the conservation area is a hub for warblers. Campers should bring binoculars to traverse the hiking trails. From your forest campsite, you’ll wake up to the melody of birdsong and let the day guide you.
Along the River
The Susquehanna River is geographically known as one of the world’s oldests rivers—and it runs right along Harrisburg. Choose a direction, and follow the course of the water. Campsites likewise come with access to golf courses, parks, and even a section of the Appalachian Trail. So, Harrisburg campers can ultimately choose their own adventures, all while listening to the trickle of the tributary.
Across the River
Park yourself across the river and explore the region’s parks. All the camping options and activities converge at Gifford Pinchot State Park. Just outside Harrisburg, campers can hike, canoe, and play round after round of disc golf before returning to a spacious yurt or decked-out cabin. Meanwhile, Michaux State Forest may be an hour from Harrisburg, but—with options for both ATV riding and mountain biking—here is a thrill-seeker’s paradise.
When to go
Summer is the best time for Harrisburg camping, as the wildflowers bloom and both birds and butterflies multiply. If you’re bringing your kids, summer is likewise prime time for all the activities; theme parks and similar family-friendly attractions tend to close during the off-months. Fall, however, doesn’t leave campers hanging. When the days and nights begin to cool, you can cozy up in your sleeping bag, whether in your tent or directly under the stars.
