2 nights at Solace Cabinette

Other than some misunderstanding upon check-in which I believe was all my fault. The cabinette was just as described. It was wonderful to stay dry under some torrential downpours. I had, but still beautiful as it hit the ceiling above? You, karen was a great hostess, and will it definitely stay again

Weekend Trip to Peace & Quiet by the River!

We stayed at Site 3 which was perfect for our group. Everyone was able to spread out and have their own space. The campsite itself is sloped with a few flat areas that are suitable for tents. Plan accordingly if rain is in the forecast. This is one of the more expensive Hipcamps in the area, but you get what you pay for. Susan’s communication is stellar and she’s put a lot of thought into her property and the campsites. We will be coming back.

5 nights at Peace & Quiet by the River!

This was my first time solo camping and this was the perfect spot!! Susan and Jenn were the perfect hosts. From looking at the site through my stay, Susan answered my questions with so much patience and understanding. And both of them checked up on me regularly via text (and one time when they hadn’t heard from me, since the battery on my phone had died, and Susan sent her husband to check on me). I felt cared for, and also not overwhelmed. I can’t blame Susan for the rain, and I’ll definitely be back when it is (hopefully) sunnier. 😀 Susan was also super flexible on details at the end of my trip—and even helped me move my stuff up the hill on her truck/backhoe (is that the right word?). She could not have been more understanding and helpful. And the site itself was fantastic.

2 nights at Peace & Quiet by the River!

Always a pleasure to be at site 2. I want to say it’s my time 7th there, but it’s probably my 6th. Water levels were perfect. This time of the year, the water is a little chilly but that did not stop us from taking a dip! The site, as always, was set up for what we needed. Usually, we venture into town for a burger, but we just wanted to stay in our special place. It’s why we keep coming back.

Weekend Trip to GreenHills Camp

Gorgeous spot tucked back in the woods. Highly recommend site 2 for wooded privacy. Other campsite is perfect for a larger group of campers. Communication on point as well as cleanliness. Showers a plus as well as other thoughtful things around the campground. Look forward to coming back!

Weekend Trip to Scenic Turtle Ridge

My son and I camped at Site 3, which had plenty of space for his four-person tent and had trees spaced perfectly for my hammock tent. The ground slopes a bit, but not enough to cause a problem for him. There's a large fire ring, which we didn't use because it rained most of the full day we were there. Tom is a gracious, thoughtful host. There's good well water from a spigot under the deck, and a real powder room with organic bug spray provided in case you forgot to bring some. Other families were camping the same weekend, but we hardly heard them. The geese and rooster, on the other hand, made their presence known! Wear earplugs to bed if you don't like waking up at 4:30 AM. :D

Weekend Trip to Christmas Tree Farm with Views

Just what we were looking for a nice peaceful night in the country. We felt extremely lucky to find this gem and will definitely be back! Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Fairview Farms Airfield

Hi, we had a great time tent camping. Beautiful view, very responsive and easy.

Weekend Trip to Hickory Hollow Farm And Nursery

Very friendly and accommodating hosts. Our spot was a peaceful spot overlooking the farm and woods. Our host went out of their way to help us when we were having some trouble with the propane system on our RV.

5 nights at GreenHills Camp

We had a fantastic time caping on site 2! The majority of the site is shaded and there is lots of room to play yard games. We had a wonderful time exploring the trail through the woods and cooking over the fire. Our boys (7 and 8) found several box turtles, birds and deer. They also caught several fish. It was very relaxing and peaceful and I would highly recommend site 2!

2 nights at Grove Point Stables

Elizabeth was flexible and responsive. The site was beautiful, totally enjoyed put time at Grove Point!

1 night at 420 Camping

Needed a nice inexpensive place to stargazing for the evening. Perfect for self contained vehicles.

1 night at Hickory Hollow Farm And Nursery

Andrew & his fam are highly accommodating. Their spot is great for families with kids. Flat grass on nursery grounds makes it easy to level. If they had full hookups this place would be booked out for weeks. 10min to Hershey's and much quieter. No train. Slight rooster but not rochus.

2 nights at Esidarap Mountain

This place was exactly what we were looking for. Close by, secluded, dry after a lot of rain, fire wood available, quick fun trails for the mtn bike. Would certainly recommend

Weekend Trip to Christmas Tree Farm with Views

Very friendly host with a beautiful, peaceful setting. We will be back.

Weekend Trip to Christmas Tree Farm with Views

Great stop! Scott accommodated my late stay request. Large level spot with pretty view overlooking tree farm and beyond. Would be a nice place to hang out and chill but I had to get on the road. Scott is a SUPER nice host.

Weekend Trip to Blue Hill Acres

It was my first time to the Tower City area. Very nice and scenic. I ended up camping at Scott’s other property up the road due to flooding concerns. Goldmine Raceway. Very cool. Its an ald 1/4 mile dirt track that was open in the 50’s and 60’s. You can still see remains of the guard rails, and you can drive on the track. Fun times in my Subaru 😂😂. Scott was a cool guy as well. It did rain pretty heavy, but i knew that going in. Hope to get back there soon and try the creek spot

Weekend Trip to Creekside Orchard

Scott has a phenomenal oasis! The stream is incredibly relaxing and we loved our short stay at the property. Good amenities, good orientation of sites so they are private. We look forward to returning!

Weekend Trip to Laureleye Farms

Fantastic site, full of history with a unique vibe. Susannah was a fantastic host and we really enjoyed our stay!

Weekend Trip to Creekside Orchard

Love the space and would definitely come back! Simple peaceful camping.

Elmlock Acres Camping on the Canal

1 site · RV, Tent22 acres · Myerstown, PA

Elmlock was named by MJ's Grandfather for the majestic Elm trees that once graced the property and banks of the Tulpehocken Stream passing through the Union Canal lock. These beautiful trees were devastated by the Dutch Elm Disease in the early 20th century. Elmlock and the surrounding area was surveyed by non other than George Washington as plans were formulating to build a canal system to join the Schuylkill and Susquehanna Rivers. The General stayed with his friend Captain Michael Lei on the adjacent farm, once known as the Tulpehocken Manor when visiting the area. The ruins of one of the canal locks remains on the Elmlock property adjacent to the camping area. The 1838 stone farmhouse was built by the Spengler family and acquired by MJ's Grandfather in 1913. MJ's pottery studio is a local "Town Barn" that was relocated piece by piece to Elmlock by MJ"s brother, a Historic Restoration Specialist, in 1974. He also restored the Bake Oven on the property's Summer Kitchen. Our property features an historic canal lock from 1828 Union Canal and a stream that runs through it. There is a RR track that runs just south of our camp about 10acres away For campers who love to watch or hear trains you'll have plenty of opportunity to do so! You can enjoy fishing and playing in the water, which is fresh, clean limestone water from a nearby quarry. We also have two small goats on the property. Farm land surrounds the property, wooded area and cattle nearby. This is a secluded property but less than a mile from Rt 422. You can bike along the many back roads nearby! We also offer pottery classes, drawing classes, painting classes, and also Medicinal wild plants walk etc. for an additional fee. See our extras below if you are interested! Historic places to visit and only 20 miles from HersheyPark. Also we are only 15-20 min from the Historic Appalachian Trail!

Shambala at Mystic Hollow

15 sites · RVs, Tents6 acres · Mohrsville, PA

Pitch your tent along Irish Creek under a canopy of Maples at Mystic Hollow. Irish Creek, which is a stream, is a tributary to the Schuylkill River. Site are a 5 minute walk from main house. The land is flat for walking to the camping area. A slight bit bumpy in a small area. I can manage just fine in flip flops but I did want to provide the information if anyone would be using a wheelchair. There is also a small bridge that goes over a small strip of wetlands. Fire rings are included. Tables can be provided. Just let us know ahead of time. I can haul your gear to your spot with tractor and wagon if needed. There is a port-a-potty close by. We are flexible with check-in and check-out times if we are not at full capacity. Just let us know ahead of time if you want to check in or out earlier or later. We allow dogs. They must be on leashes unless they are friendly and play well with others. You must clean up your dog's poop! No exceptions! We are 5 minutes from the Schuylkill River. 10 minutes from Ontelaunee Lake. 15 minutes from Blue Marsh. 15 minutes from the Appalacian Trail. Trail heads nearby would be Port Clinton, Hamburg, Bernville, Bethel, Blue Rocks, Kempton... 20 minutes from Hawk Mountain. We are an hour from Jim Thorpe. There are several wineries in the area including Long Trout Winery where wine is cool and hippy chicks rule! My favorite! Lots of wildlife in the area. Expect to hear owls, blue heron, cows, goats, chickens, horses, hawks, eagles, dogs, racoons and coyotes. There is a good chance of being visited by racoons at night if your food isn't stored away properly. Also, the deer may walk past in the middle of the night as well. We do also get wild turkey during different times of the year. Hiking, kayaking, tubing, fishing, mountain biking, bike trails, etc... all nearby. Sadly there are no fish in Irish Creek worth catching. The Crayfish are! As with any land situated along a water source, there is always a possibility of flooding. We flood maybe once a year, once every other year. If that should happen, we will assist in hauling gear. There is higher ground for tents to be set up if need be. There will also be rooms available to rent in the near future. Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions. 420 friendly. LGBTQ friendly. If you are coming from out of state: Pennsylvania has a quarantine order for untreated firewood entering the state to protect its forests from invasive species. Firewood must be kiln dried, heat treated, fumigated, or USDA certified to enter the state. However, commercially imported wood that has been heat-treated according to USDA regulations typically doesn't fall under these bans.

Camping near Lancaster guide

Overview

Southeast Pennsylvania is more than Philadelphia, so why not share some brotherly love with Lancaster? Lancaster County offers something for everyone, whether you’re camping with a partner, kids, or friends, although with easy access to amusement parks, Lancaster especially suits family-friendly getaways. The city sits just beyond Hershey, while mere miles separate central Lancaster from the thrills of Dutch Wonderland. Check into an RV park with a swimming pool, find a secluded tent campsite, or book a camp resort—no matter which you choose, you won’t need to leave Pennsylvania Dutch Country for a memorable camping experience.

Where to go

Central Lancaster

PA Dutch Country may be known for its Amish farmlands, but before you explore Lancaster’s picturesque surroundings, spend some time in the city itself. Full of rich history and unique charm, Lancaster is the perfect place to spend a night. Whether you want a family resort with free wifi or an RV site near hiking trails, the Lancaster camping experience offers access to a range of restaurants, galleries, and architecture.

New Holland

Once you’ve had your fill of Lancaster, head east. You’ll quickly understand why Amish Country’s vast hills and frequent farms deserve so much attention. Campsites near New Holland embrace the best of rural Pennsylvania. As you drive to your RV campground with full hookups, keep your eyes peeled for a horse and buggy. Once you arrive, savor a slow evening from your camping resort’s picnic table.

Clarke Lake

The physical land of Lancaster is one of Dutch Country’s main claims to fame—but the region’s waterways equally warrant a visit. Explore the area west of Lancaster, where the Susquehanna River blends into Clarke Lake. Tent camping in the area is always a good idea, but for an even better camping trip? A campsite with easy access to the water, where you can swim, fish, and relax at your own pace.

When to go

East Coast camping thrives in the summertime, when Pennsylvania’s weather comes with maximum sunshine. Yet because Lancaster County is all about the landscape, plan your camping experience for the fall. Amish Country is always breathtaking, but it peaks around October. The colorful season also comes with an abundance of farmer’s markets, so campers can enjoy Pennsylvania’s local produce from a cabin or RV site with a grill.
